Master's thesis of Engineering: Corrosion inhibition assessment for 5xxx series aluminium alloy using droplet evaluation technique

The specific research objectives of this study are: 1. The development of a high throughput method for evaluation of alloys (5xxx Al as model materials in this work) subject to pitting; 2. Understanding the roles of variation in functional groups' in determining the inhibition efficiency; 3. Elucidating the inhibition mechanisms; and 4. Unveiling the role of intermetallic present in Al matrix and their contribution to the inhibition mechanism, particularly the long-term durability of the inhibitor systems.
