Aluminium alloys containing small additions of both tin (similar to 0.1 wt%) and gallium (similar to 0.05 wt%) are shown to dissolve anodically at high rates in sodium chloride media at room temperatures; current densities >0.2 A cm(-2) can be obtained at potentials close to the open circuit potential, similar to-1500 mV versus SCE. The tin exists in the alloys as a second phase, typically as similar to 1 mu m inclusions (precipitates) distributed throughout the aluminium structure, and anodic dissolution occurs to form pits around the tin inclusions. Although the distribution of the gallium in the alloy could not be established, it is also shown to be critical in the formation of these pits as well as maintaining their activity. The stability of the alloys to open circuit corrosion and the overpotential for high rate dissolution, both critical to battery performance, are shown to depend on factors in addition to elemental composition; both heat treatment and mechanical working influence the performance of the alloy. The correlation between alloy performance and their microstructure has been investigated. (C) 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
