  text: "<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title>\r\n          <jats:p>The effect of corrosion
    on mechanically joined components is not well understood. While recent research
    shows that a brief exposure of clinched specimens to a salt spray environment
    improves the specimens’ fatigue life, other research shows a decrease in load
    bearing capabilities with increasing corrosion times. These studies primarily
    focus on galvanic corrosion. It is not entirely clear how other corrosion phenomena,
    such as pitting corrosion, affect the fatigue life of clinched joints. In this
    work, a numerical model is used, which is able to simulate corrosion pit growth
    in EN AW-6014. The experimental polarization data of EN AW-6014 are used directly
    in the calculation of the interface kinetics parameter of the model.</jats:p>"
