What are the causes and types of corrosion in aluminum alloys?
Thread Content
Why are pumps made of aluminum alloy material used for liquid transfer? Do not use them to transfer liquids containing Fe3+, halohydrocarbons, or other halogenated hydrocarbon solvents, as this will cause corrosion and lead to the pump bursting? What is the corrosion mechanism of aluminum alloys by Fe3+ in liquid and halohydrocarbon as well as other halogenated hydrocarbon solvents? Thank you all for your help and answers!
Halogens can destroy the oxide layer on aluminum, causing pitting
