Keywords Corrosion, Aluminium, Alloys
This handbook presents a comprehensive coverage of the corrosion behavior of aluminum and aluminum alloys, including practical information about how to select and process these materials to prevent corrosion attack. The book describes the influences of composition, microstructure, mechanical working, heat treatment, joining methods, and environmental variables on the corrosion of aluminum-based materials (Plate 1).
The book is divided into 12 chapters, covering the diverse applications and problems associated with corrosion in aluminum and its alloys, as well as the diverse methods of testing for, and preventing, corrosion. The text starts by giving general information on the properties of aluminum and the...
