Fig. 4: The frequency distributions (FD) of the tOFF’ and tRON indicators, reflecting the passivation evolution during ECM and LECM.

a–e For the rolled samples, the range of tRON and frequencies of tOFF’ and tRON reduce with increasing voltage up to 30 V and with LECM due to improvement in passivation weakening. f–j The SLMed samples FDs follow a similar trend but exhibit lower tRON mode values due to the more EC-dissolution resistant microstructure.
