Effect of alloyed Cu on localized corrosion susceptibility of Al–Cu solid solution alloys—Surface characterization by XPS and STEM

Cu additions to Al alloys decrease pitting susceptibility provided that the Cu is retained solid solution. In this study, a range of electrochemical, surface analytical and electron microscopy characterization experiments were carried out with Al–Cu solid solution alloys to understand the origins of...
