The exfoliation corrosion susceptibility and electrochemical impedance spectrosc opy(EIS) of rolled and peak-aged 8090 Al-Li alloys in EXCO solution were studi ed,and the EIS after exfoliation was simulated. Once exfoliation occurs,two ca pacitive arcs appear in the EIS at high-mediate frequency and mediate-low freq uency respectively. The exfoliation-attacked alloy surface consists of two part s,an original flat alloy surface and a new inter-face exposed to EXCO solution due to the exfoliation. The capacitance corresponding to the new exfoliation in ter-face increases approximately linearly with time at early exfoliation stage,due to the enlargement of the new inter-face. Then it maintains stable,due to the corrosion product covering on the new inter-face. The exfoliation suscepti bility can be judged through the average slope of the capacitance vs time curve of the early exfoliation stage. This average slope of the rolled 8090 alloy is m uch higher than that of the peak-aged 8090 alloy,accordingly the rolled 8090 a lloy is more susceptible to exfoliation than the peak-aged 8090 alloy.
