Abstract
The aim of this work was to obtain an improved understanding of filiform corrosion (FFC) on 6000 series alloys. Chapter 3 describes kinetic and mechanistic studies on AA6014 and AA6022 identifying two types of attack, “surface active” (SA-FFC) and “successive pitting” (SP-FFC) FFC. SA-FFC is superfi...

The aim of this work was to obtain an improved understanding of filiform corrosion (FFC) on 6000 series alloys. Chapter 3 describes kinetic and mechanistic studies on AA6014 and AA6022 identifying two types of attack, “surface active” (SA-FFC) and “successive pitting” (SP-FFC) FFC. SA-FFC is superficial with a depth c.a. 1-2 μm and occurs when a near-surface deformed layer (NSDL) is present at the alloy surface.P-FFC is a form of intergranular attack which can penetrate to a greater depth of c.a.0-50 μm. SP-FFC only occurs when the NSDL is absent or has already dissolved.
