Automated ex-situ detection of pitting corrosion and its effect on the mechanical integrity of rare earth magnesium alloy - WE43

This study develops a three-dimensional automated detection framework (PitScan) that systematically evaluates the severity and phenomenology of pitting corrosion. This framework uses a python-based algorithm to analyse microcomputer-tomography scans (μCT) of cylindrical specimens undergoing corrosio...
