Researchers at Tohoku University have developed a new technique to identify the initiation sites of a destructive process ...

Aluminum alloys, renowned for their excellent strength-to-weight ratios, are integral to diverse industrial applications, from aerospace to automotive sectors. The corrosion behaviour of these alloys, ...

A recent article published in npj Materials Degradation explored the defining role of nanoscale heterogeneities in corrosion pathways in a high-strength aluminum alloy via detailed electron microscopy ...

Pure aluminum (Al) is generally considered corrosion-resistant due to the protective nature of the spontaneously forming aluminum oxide passive film. This film acts as a wide bandgap insulator and ...
