Effects of substituting ytterbium for scandium on corrosion behaviour of Al-Sc alloy

The localized corrosion and electrochemical behaviour of Al–0.28 wt.% Sc and Al–0.24 wt.% Sc–0.07 wt.% Yb alloys have been studied in 3.5 wt.% NaCl solution. The results showed that the impurity intermetallic containing Fe can act as cathodes and promote localized corrosion in the surrounding matrix...
