Fig. 4: Relationship between droplet size and pit growth.

From: Revealing the growth kinetics of atmospheric corrosion pitting in aluminum via in situ microtomography

Fig. 4

Initial pit growth rate (a) and final pit volume (b) are plotted as functions of initial droplet volume. Diamonds mark the three pits for which only droplet size after pit nucleation was measured. Circles show the average droplet volume associated with the other pits. The line spans the range between the size of the droplet before and after pit nucleation for these pits. Data associated with large pits are colored orange. Data associated with small pits is colored white.
