Popis: Corrosion of duralumin was studied in sandy soil conditions with different moisture and ion concentrations. The influence of these factors on initial (the first hours) corrosion stages was visualized by a chemographic method in which a film works as an indicator of the volatile products released during the electrode process, which may transform silver to the metallic state. Atomic hydrogen acts as such a product during metal corrosion. As a result, the pattern of optical density in a chemogram maps the corrosion activity of a specimen surface. The soil condition was checked by using its conductance. Two mechanisms of conductance were differentiated and analysed in terms of the percolation theory for low-moisture soil (
