Results showed that severe localized corrosion initiated within 1 h of corrosion immersion test in 0.01 mol L−1 NaCl solution. The corrosion mechanism in this alloy is intragranular and it propagates crystallographically. The propagation occurs through grain orientation dependent bands and it can be likened to the movement of dislocation through slip planes. Corrosion rings around stable pits result from pH variations. Secondary pits form around primary pits within corrosion rings and are preceded by hydrogen evolution.300-309openAccesstransmission electron microscopyscanning electron microscopyaluminium alloyscrystallographyspectroscopydislocationsgrain orientationpitting corrosioncorrosionmicrostructureArtigo de periódico13110.1016/j.corsci.2017.12.001https://orcid.org/0000-0002-4987-333491.2592.30
