AFM and EIS investigation of the influence of pH on the corrosion film stability of Al4Cu2Mg8Si7 intermetallic particle in aqueous solutions

The stability of corrosion films on the Q-phase (Al5Cu2Mg8Si6) under different pH environments ranging from pH 1 to pH 13 in 0.1 M NaCl solution has been investigated using Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) and Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The magnitude of Rct and Rf of Q-phase was note...
