The direct current change and impedance response in a frequency range of 10mHz-10kHz were measured on aluminum electrode under pitting corrosion in 1kmol/m
3 Na
2SO
4 solution containing 0.68kmol/m
3 NaCl at the potential of-0.36V (NHE). The tendency of the pitting current density to increase changes at the value of about 100A/m
2. A capacitive semicircle into appears on the impedance complex plane at the current density of 4.09A/m
2 under pitting corrosion. It changes two semicircles at 71A/m
2. Three semicircles are obtained at the current density above 100A/m
2. The diameter of semicircle
R1 which corresponded to the resistance of charge transfer reaction is related to the current density
I,
I=K/R
1 K=2.5×10
-3 (V)
The pitting mechanism of aluminum is explained by the dissolution of aluminum through the aluminum salt film, the hydrolysis of this salt film and hydrogen evolution reactions from impedance analysis.
