AI reveals how coating thickness changes the link between surface roughness and pitting resistance
Localized pitting corrosion can cause sudden failure in aluminum components even when overall corrosion rates are low. Steam coating offers a water-vapor-based route to protective boehmite films, but processing simultaneously changes film thickness, surface morphology, crystallinity and substrate defects.
