NATURAL CORROSION TESTS OF WELDED ALUMINUM-STEEL JOINTS,

Abstract

Joints of AMts and AMg6 aluminum alloys, made by welding to carbon steel or stainless steel with or without additional alloying of the weld metal with 5 percent Si, 7 percent Zn or 1 percent Be, were tested for corrosion in natural sea water and/or in sea atmosphere. Sea water corrosion tests were done with full continuous or periodic submerging; the sea atmosphere tests were done by spraying test specimens with sea water in the air. Corrosion tests were conducted for one year with periodic examinations after 3, 6 and 12 months. The corrosive action of mechanical tests made before and after exposure, and also by visual inspection and measurements of the depth of corrosion damage. (Author)
