Role of Al2Cu and Al3Fe in pit initiation of aluminum: insights from coarse single- and multi-particle electrodes

Abstract Al specimens containing coarse Al 2 Cu or Al 3 Fe particles were fabricated by spark plasma sintering through mixing pure Al powder with Cu or Fe powder, followed by hot forging and heat treatment to form intermetallic particles with diameters primarily in the range of 5...
