Nano-grained AA2024 alloy, which typically has an average grain size of 150–100 nm with a more uniform microstructure, was successfully processed through the eight-cycle cross accumulative roll bonding (CARB) technique. The findings reveal that as a result of the grain refinement process, the passive response of the nano-grained AA2024 was significantly enhanced compared to its coarse-grained counterpart in phosphate buffer solution. Furthermore, the combination of grain refinement and high-intensity {011} orientations, i.e., Goss {011}, Brass {011}, and P {110} texture components, supplied the optimal conditions for developing oxide passive films with superior corrosion protection performance relative to the coarse-grained counterpart. Consequently, these findings illustrate that the CARB technique can effectively form a thick and less defective passive layer with superior protection properties in the AA2024 alloy.

The findings reveal that as a result of the grain refinement process, the passive response of the nano-grained AA2024 was significantly enhanced compared to its coarse-grained counterpart in phosphate buffer solution. Furthermore, the combination of grain refinement and high-intensity {011} orientations, i.e., Goss {011}\u0026lt;100\u0026gt;, Brass {011}\u0026lt;211\u0026gt;, and P {110}\u0026lt;221\u0026thinsp;\u0026gt;\u0026thinsp;texture components, supplied the optimal conditions for developing oxide passive films with superior corrosion protection performance relative to the coarse-grained counterpart. Consequently, these findings illustrate that the CARB technique can effectively form a thick and less defective passive layer with superior protection properties in the AA2024 alloy.\u003c/p\u003e","manuscriptTitle":"Unveiling the electrochemical performance and passive film properties of AA2024 aluminum alloy processed through severe plastic deformation with nanostructured architecture","msid":"","msnumber":"","nonDraftVersions":[{"code":1,"date":"2026-01-13 17:46:08","doi":"10.21203/rs.3.rs-8475235/v1","editorialEvents":[{"type":"communityComments","content":0},{"type":"decision","content":"Revision requested","date":"2026-01-19T04:30:59+00:00","index":"","fulltext":""},{"type":"editorInvitedReview","content":"","date":"2026-01-16T06:01:42+00:00","index":"hide","fulltext":""},{"type":"editorInvitedReview","content":"","date":"2026-01-14T17:26:55+00:00","index":"hide","fulltext":""},{"type":"editorInvitedReview","content":"","date":"2026-01-14T03:44:32+00:00","index":"hide","fulltext":""},{"type":"reviewerAgreed","content":"68335933369295666499101063663023682396","date":"2026-01-13T11:06:55+00:00","index":"hide","fulltext":""},{"type":"reviewerAgreed","content":"43749278727422032383944520807649856931","date":"2026-01-08T14:57:17+00:00","index":"hide","fulltext":""},{"type":"reviewerAgreed","content":"168586644542149646676604910415709183647","date":"2026-01-08T13:25:13+00:00","index":"hide","fulltext":""},{"type":"reviewersInvited","content":"","date":"2026-01-08T13:15:17+00:00","index":"","fulltext":""},{"type":"editorAssigned","content":"","date":"2026-01-08T07:56:44+00:00","index":"","fulltext":""},{"type":"checksComplete","content":"","date":"2026-01-03T07:12:26+00:00","index":"","fulltext":""},{"type":"submitted","content":"Scientific Reports","date":"2026-01-03T07:06:26+00:00","index":"","fulltext":""}],"status":"published","journal":{"display":true,"email":"
