In this work, the influence of chloride ions concentration on the corrosion behavior of the AA2198-T8 alloy was evaluated. Immersion test and electrochemical analyses were performed in sodium chloride solutions of three concentrations, 0.001 mol L-1, 0.005 mol L-1 and 0.01 mol L-1. The results showed that the AA2198-T8 alloy was susceptible to localized corrosion (LC) and to severe localized corrosion (SLC) in all conditions investigated. The electrochemical results obtained by open circuit potential measurements, cyclic voltammetry and potentiodynamic polarization curves were associated with the corroded microstructure of the alloy. Although electrochemical techniques allowed differentiating the corrosion resistance as a function of chloride concentration, the result was strongly influenced by the corroded/uncorroded area ratio related to the SLC.
