Aluminum alloys have high strength to weight ratio, and during the years they have been used successfully in the maritime industry, due to their good corrosion resistance when correctly applied (e.g., properly selected). In the subsea environment, the oil and gas industry currently uses aluminum alloys for Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV), but due to its limited information regarding long-term application in seawater, these alloys are not generally selected for subsea structural purposes. The aim of the current paper is to compare the performance of three different aluminum alloys through electrochemical tests in artificial seawater and under accelerated intergranular corrosion (IGC) tests. Samples were tested through potentiodynamic polarization (ASTM(1) G61), under aerated and de-aerated environments, and in order to compare their IGC resistance, they were tested following ISO(2) 11846 (method B). The polarization curves revealed that the open circuit potential (OCP) increased when the solution moved from de-aerated to aerated. Additionally, no improved performance was seen from any alloy tested concerning pitting and repassivation potential, even when subjected to different aeration conditions. Finally, the IGC testing was satisfactory to distinguish the alloys’ IGC resistance.
