Localized corrosion of aluminum (Al) alloys, such as pitting corrosion, intergranular corrosion, and stress corrosion cracking is closely related to the micro-galvanic corrosion between the second phase and the Al matrix. Using high-resolution transmission electron microscopy and first principles ca...
