Abstract
PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to present the results of an atomic force microscopy (AFM) based approach to local impedance spectroscopy (LIS) measurement performed on AA2024 and AA2024‐T3 aluminium alloys.Design/methodology/approachAFM‐LIS measurements were performed ex‐situ without the electrolyte environment, so in fact the electrical not electrochemical impedance was obtained.FindingsRelative local impedance values recorded for AA2024 alloy during the researches carried out were maximally approximately three orders of magnitude higher than the ones obtained for age‐hardened AA2024‐T3 alloy. Moreover, in the case of AA2024‐T3 alloy, a region located in the interior of α crystals exhibited localized impedance one order of magnitude higher than that measured at its grain boundary when affected by intergranular corrosion.Originality/valueThe paper presents differences in localized impedance between grain and grain boundaries activity.
