The change tendency of passive film-induced stress and susceptibility to stress corrosion cracking (SCC) with various pH values of 7050 aluminum alloy in 3.5% (mass fraction) NaCl solution was investigated by slow strain rate testing (SSRT) and flowing stress differential method. The results show that when pH≤7, with the increase of pH value, the passive film-induced stress and the susceptibility to SCC decrease, correspondingly; when pH>7, they increase with the increase of pH value. However, when pH=1,14, the corrosion type is exfoliation corrosion, the alloy matrix exfoliated, there is no film formed on the specimens surface. Moreover, the variation of passive film-induced stress is changed slowly when the pH value is between 6 and 9, nevertheless, it is much more severe when the pH value is between 2 and 5 as well as between 10 and 13. The whole variation plot is presented as valley shape and the passive film-induced stress and susceptibility to SCC is of a close relationship. The film-induced stress is related to the compositions of the passive film by X-ray photoelectron spectrum (XPS).
