Abstract
Several accelerated tests for high-strength aluminum alloys, such as ASTM G34, ASTM G85 Annex 2, and ASTM G110 can produce significantly different results in third generation aluminum lithium (Al-Li) alloys. In this study, the reason for this inconsistency is investigated by comparing the electrochemical kinetics for AA2060 to those of AA2090 as well as legacy alloy AA7075-T6, and by comparing the performance of AA2060 in ASTM G110 and ASTM G85. The corrosion potential of AA2060 was found to be higher than that of AA7075-T6 and AA2060-T8E41. Also, it was found that although ASTM G110 does not produce exfoliation in AA 2060-T3 as in ASTM G85, the type of attack observed in cross-section is very similar in both tests.
