This new handbook 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.

Contents:
• Types of Aluminum Corrosion, including: Pitting, Crevice, and Filiform; Intergranular and Exfoliation; Galvanic, Deposition, and Stray-Current; Erosion, Cavitation, Impingement, and Fretting; Environmentally Assisted Cracking
• Types of Environments
• Corrosion of Welded, Soldered, and Adhesive-Bonded Joints and Metal-Matrix Composites
• Corrosion Testing and Prevention
