description

Abstract The most identified classes of phenomena at the origin of the passivity breakdown and the electrochemical and chemical factors controlling the induced localized corrosion are summarized before introducing the scientific concepts at the origin of the design of the local probe techniques used in recent advances in understanding localized corrosion processes. Examples concerning the surface reactivity of aluminium alloys are presented to support a final discussion on the needs for experimental developments with capabilities to support modelling.
