摘　　要：The corrosion pathways in AA2024-T3, AA5083-O and AA6082-T6 alloys have been investigated. The objective of the investigation is to further the understanding of the complex localised corrosion mechanism in aluminium alloys. The investigation was carried out by examining the corroded surfaces of the alloys after potentiodynamic polarization tests in a 3.5% NaCl solution with the aid of a scanning electron microscope, and by analysing the flow of anolyte solution using the scanning vibrating electrode technique. The results revealed that the overall corrosion pathways in the alloys are distinctively different and are influenced by the flow of anolyte solution. Also revealed, was the fact that corrosion propagates in two ways （particularly in the AA5083-O and AA6082-T6 alloys）： an overall pathway in the corrosion front （filiform-like pathway in the AA5083 alloy and organized linear pathways in AA6082 alloy）; and the crystallographic channelling along the （100） directions. These are dependent on the grain distinct features of the AA5083-O and AA6082-T6 alloys and are not influenced by the presence of coarse second phase particles in these alloys, compared with the AA2024-T3 alloy, where the corrosion pathways are more dependent on the presence of second phase particles and grain boundary character.研究AA2024-T3、AA5083-O和AA6082-T6合金的腐蚀路径,以进一步了解铝合金局部腐蚀机理。采用扫插电子显微镜研究合金在3.5%Na Cl溶液中动电位极化测试后腐蚀表面,利用扫描振动电极技术分析阳极电解液的流动。结果表明:各合金的腐蚀路径明显不同,且受阳极电解液流动的影响。另外,在AA5083-O和AA6082合金中,腐蚀以两种方式进行扩展:一种为腐蚀前端扩展路径(AA5083的丝状扩展路径和AA6082合金有条理的线性扩散路径);另一种为沿?100?方向的晶体学通道扩展路径。与AA2024-T3合金相比,AA5083-O和AA6082-T6合金的扩展路径与晶粒特征有关,而与粗大的第二相粒子无关。而AA2024-T3的扩展路径与第二相粒子和晶界特征有关。
