Popis: The coupling of pure Al, Cu and Mg wires and the coupling of Al 2 CuMg intermetallic rod and Al wire were used to study the corrosion process of Al 2 CuMg phase particles in 2024-T3 aluminium alloy, by means of scanning vibrating electrode technique (SVET) and scanning ion-selective electrode technique (SIET). The results show the preferential dissolution of Mg in the coupling of Al, Cu and Mg. Al 2 CuMg was found to show self-dissolution when coupled with Al, rather than anodic dissolution. According to the results, a mechanism of early corrosion of S phase in AA2024-T3 is proposed.
