Immersion testing exfoliation corrosion

Haidemenopoulos, G.N., Hassiotis, N., Papapolymerou, G., and Bontozoglou, V., Hydrogen absorption into aluminum alloy 2024-T3 during exfoliation and alternate immersion testing. Corrosion, 54, 73, 1998. 

This encyclopedia and this chapter are focused on electrochemistry. However, a few words about nonelectrochemical techniques are in order for completeness. Exposure testing of samples to service or accelerated environments is widely used, and there are several ASTM standards describing appropriate methods. Several immersion tests for intergranular and exfoliation corrosion were mentioned in the last section. ASTM G31 describes methods for immersion testing of metals [83]. This standard practice contains mostly common sense, but also has information that will help experimentalists avoid common...

Standardised testing procedures should be used for assessing the susceptibility to exfoliation corrosion [18]. The selection of the test solution and the duration of immersion depend on the alloy series ...
