Reseña del editor:

This volume presents comprehensive coverage of the corrosion behavior of aluminum and aluminum alloys, with emphasis on practical information about how to select and process these materials in order to prevent corrosion attack. Described are the characteristics of these materials and the influences of composition, mechanical working, heat treatment, joining methods, microstructure, and environmental variables on their corrosion.

Reseña del editor:

This new handbook covers the corrosion behavior of aluminum and aluminum alloys, with emphasis on practical information about how to select and process these materials in order to prevent corrosion attack. Described are the characteristics of these materials and the influences of composition, mechanical working, heat treatment, joining methods, microstructure, and environmental variables on their corrosion. Contents include: The Corrosion Behavior of Aluminum and Aluminum Alloys Understanding the Corrosion Behavior of Aluminum Pitting, Crevice and Filiform Corrosion Intergranular and Exfoliation Corrosion Galvanic, Deposition and Stray-Current Corrosion Erosion, Cavitation, Impingement and Fretting Corrosion Environmentally Assisted Cracking Types of Corrosion Environments Corrosion of Welded, Soldered and Adhesive-Bonded Joints Corrosion of Metal- Matrix Composites Corrosion Testing and Prevention.
