Abstract
(1) Thermodynamic calculations have been carried out to determine the possible corrosion reactions of aluminum in neutral and near neutral aqueous solutions and the domains of stability of the various corrosion products. (2) The quantitative electrochemical factors determining the corrosion rate are discussed. (3) A qualitative mechanism of the imitation and propagation of a corrosion pit in aluminum is discussed.
