Active corrosion protection of aluminium AA2024-T3 with corrosion inhibitor loaded electrospun nanofibres: An exploratory study and proof of concept

Aluminium AA2024-T3 is a high strength aluminiumalloy widely used in aerospace. The strengthening copper-rich intermetallic phases, however, make the material very susceptible to aqueous corrosion and severe pitting. To protect the metal, coatings loaded with corrosion inhibitors are typically used. Traditionally, highly efficient CrVI-based...
