HIGH TEMPERATURE AQUEOUS CORROSION PRODUCT FILMS ON ALUMINUM

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4312445
The corrosion product films formed on Al alloys 1245 and X8001 in water at 310 deg C were examined by x-ray diffraction end by electron and optical miscroscopy. A technique was developed for replicating the inner surface (the surface adjacent to the base metal) of the corrosion product films for electron microscope examimation. Many optical and electron micrographs and stereographs of the inner and outer corrosion product surfaces are presented. Several conclusions are reached with regard to the structure of the corrosion product films and their relationship to the corrosion processes. (auth)
