The corrosion mechanisms and behavior of a P-130x graphite fiber reinforced 6063 aluminum composite laminate were studied. Electrochemical and total immersion tests were performed on the composite in 3.5% sodium chloride and 5.0% sodium sulfate solutions. The effects of pH, the presence of sulfite i…
