The corrosion product films formed on aluminum in aqueous environments at high temperatures have been examined with the electron microscope. A technique is described for the preparation of electron microscope replicas of the surface of the corrosion product films adjacent to the metal. Electron micrographs are shown of corrosion product films formed during various stages of corrosion in high purity water, and in corrosion inhibited systems. Corrosion inhibition was found to be assocated with different crystalline structures of the corrosion product films. 2.3.6
