Fig. 5: Growth trend for a pit exhibiting oxide jacking.
From: Pit growth kinetics in aluminum: effects of salt loading and relative humidity
(a–c) show 2D slices of a pit that exhibited oxide jacking at four timesteps. (c) shows top-down views of the droplet associated with this pit. Arrows highlight the oxide jacking that began 14.3 h. after his pit nucleated. A plot of pit volume as a function of time after pit nucleation for this pit is provided in (d). The inset in (d) highlights a small area of the boxed region in (b) 14.3 h after this pit nucleated. The 2D slices in (a–c) come from the timesteps highlighted in the plot in (d).
