THE CORROSION BEHAVIOR OF ALUMINUM

THE PRACTICAL CORROSION BEHAVIOR OF ALUMINUM IS REVIEWED FOR THE NON-SPECIALIST. INCLUDED IS A DISCUSSION OF THE FOLLOWING TOPICS: THE RELATIVE NATURE OF CORROSION RESISTANCE, RESISTANCE CRITERIA, FACTORS INFLUENCING CORROSION RATES, COMMON CORROSION PROBLEMS, CHOOSING AN ALLOY, AND GALVANIC, DEPOSITION, CREVICE AND PITTING CORROSION. SPECIFIC INFORMATION IS GIVEN ON CORROSION IN SIX MAJOR ENVIRONMENTS. OTHER TOPICS CONSIDERED INCLUDE CORROSION OF BRAZED AND WELDED JOINTS, ATMOSPHERIC PERFORMANCE OF ANODIZED ALUMINUM AND PREVENTIVE MEASURES. /AUTHOR/
