Effect of Microstructure on the Localized Corrosion and Stress Corrosion Behaviours of Plasma-Electrolytic-Oxidation-Treated AA7075 Aluminum Alloy Forging in 3.5 wt. % NaCl Solution
Figure 7
Stereo photomicrographs showing (a) localized pitting on the uncoated alloy, (b) crack initiation from localized corrosion, and (c) absence of pitting on the PEO-coated AA7075 aluminum alloy surface after SSRT (mag. 20x for (a) and (c).
