An Optical Microscope was used to examine pit morphology and to measure pit depths. Cross-section microstructure and chemical composition of pits were investigated by means of Scanning Electron Microscopy and Energy Dispersive Spectrometry. Five deepest pits were measured on each face of a sextuplicate set of coupons. The pit depth data was analysed using extreme value statistics. Results show that the depth of the deepest pits progressed in a ‘step-wise’ manner. Pitting severity and the maximum pit depth increased with the depth of immersion. The results support previous findings indicating changes in corrosion mechanism with time. Similar to the corrosion of steels, this is considered to result from the build-up of corrosion products. The reason for this is discussed and further work is outlined.]]> Wed 11 Apr 2018 14:10:08 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:35312 Fri 12 Jul 2019 11:45:21 AEST ]]>
