Localized corrosion in an AA2099‐T83 aluminum–lithium alloy has been correlated with localized plastic deformation (LPD) introduced by cold working. The high population density of dislocations in the slip bands associated with LPD promoted preferential precipitation of needle‐shaped T 1 (Al 2 CuLi) phase during artificial aging. Consequently, preferential attack of the electrochemically active T 1 phase in corrosive environment resulted in selective corrosion of the bands, leading to the development of the characteristic morphology of narrow, parallel volume of corrosion.
