Salt spray corrosion test was carried out on 6061 aluminum alloy, and quasi‐static tensile test at room temperature was carried out on the sample with universal testing machine. The effect of salt spray corrosion on the mechanical properties of 6061 aluminum alloy was studied by scanning electron microscope (SEM), energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS) and electrochemistry. The corrosion rate of 6061 aluminum alloy was quantitatively characterized by different corrosion parameters. It was found that local corrosion of 6061 aluminum alloy occurred in salt spray environment, mainly pitting corrosion and intergranular corrosion. With the increase of corrosion time, the polarization resistance of 6061 aluminum alloy decreases, and the corrosion rate significantly increases. The average corrosion rate V‾d and the maximum corrosion rate Vdmax of 6061 aluminum alloy were characterized by corrosion weight loss and corrosion pit depth. And they can be transformed into each other. The mechanical properties of 6061 aluminum alloy were mainly affected by the depth of corrosion pit. With the increase of corrosion time, the tensile strength and fracture strain decreased, resulting in poor plasticity of the sample. At the same time, the change of elongation of 6061 aluminum alloy can be accurately predicted by the depth of corrosion pit. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article presents a case study of a 47-year-old Chinese man with pancreatic cancer who was treated with endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided ethanol injection for his hepatic metastatic carcinoma following pancreatoduodenectomy. The patient was presented to Changhai Hospital in China with a history of jaundice and abdominal pain. The article concludes that use of ethanol injection for treatment of metastatic carcinoma should be effective and safe.
