SOLID STATE NMR CHARACTERISATION OF ALUMINIUM AND MAGNESIUM ALLOYS - A NEW TOOL FOR CORROSION STUDIES

摘要

A new method, using solid state NMR, is proposed for studying corrosion processes in magnesium and aluminium alloys using stable nuclei of the alloying elements as probes. The technique, which provides a quantitative measure of precipitate phase content, is illustrated with examples from. MgAl, AISc and AlCu alloy systems.
