Summary and conclusions
MULTIPROTECT: The University of ManchesterMULTIPROTECT: The University of Manchester
• Comparison of the intensity of corrosion of the bare alloy can be made by inspection of Al depth profiles.
• Comparison of thickness of corroded layers can be made by inspection of the O depth profiles.
• Assessment of extent of de-alloying and re-distribution of • Assessment of extent of de-alloying and re-distribution of Cu can be made by inspection of depth profiles.
• An inhibitory effect of the empty AluOx nanocontainers, due to chloride absorption, was inferred rom the Cl depth profiles.
• Presence of BZT inhibitor could not be confirmed by inspection of N depth profiles.
