Abstract
The influence of ultrasound on the electrochemical behaviour of aluminium in chloride solution was studied using an ultrasonic probe placed above the metal surface. Enhanced mass transport and cavitation phenomena were shown to remove the protective layer from aluminium and increase the rate of corrosion and of pit formation. Various parameters were studied using measurements of open circuit potential and polarisation curves. The order of importance was found to be: Area of the probe tip < [Cl ] < Distance between probe tip and metal < Ultrasound power.
