1 Scope
This document specifies a test method for the measurement of the pitting potential
of aluminium and aluminium alloys in sodium chloride solution of a mass fraction of
5 %, with a fixed concentration of acetic acid as the oxidant, using a two-electrode
system. This document provides a simple method for ranking aluminium alloys and is
especially useful for evaluating galvanic protection performance of thin clad materials
because the test method causes little specimen damage.
