(a, b) Back-scattering SEM images of the same area before (a) and after (b) immersion in standard IGC electrolyte for 1 min. (c, d) Bright field TEM images of the same area before (c) and after (d) immersion in a diluent IGC electrolyte (one tenth of standard H2O2 volume proportion) for 12 s.

Fig. 10. TEM and HRTEM images of the typical precipitate microstructures in various samples: (a, b) aged at 120 °C for 2 h: GP-ηp precipitates are the major internal matrix precipitates (a), and ηp-precipitates are the major GBPs (b); (c, d) aged at 120 °C for 24 h: GP-ηp and ηp precipitates are the major internal matrix precipitates (c), and ηp-precipitates are the major GBPs (d); (e, f) aged at 200 °C for 24 h: large η-precipitates are the major precipitates both in the matrix and at the GBs. (g, h) Low-magnification bright-field image and HRTEM image of the internal-grain precipitates in the sample aged at 400 °C for 8 h, respectively.
Fig. 11. Schematic illustration of the localized corrosion attacks in relation with the precipitation microstructures and Cu-element redistribution in the alloy: yellow parts indicate corroded areas, pink and red precipitates in (c) denote very high Cu-contents in these particles. The lighter the blue matrix area is the less Cu-atoms it contains. Drawings on the left illustrate cross-sectional precipitation microstructures of the samples before corrosion and those on the right represent the corresponding microstructures under corrosion attacks.
