Seven Years Tropical Exposure of Finishing Systems for Aluminum and Magnesium

Abstract

The report covers a study of the corrosion resistance provided by specification finishing systems to aluminum and magnesium exposed in a tropical environment. The systems include chemical, anodic, and wash primer metal pretreatments; primers specified for these metals in Military Standard No. 171 'Finishing of Metal and Wood Surfaces'; several other specification primers that have been used for these metals; and an experimental epoxy primer. Finish coats included specification lustreless, semi-gloss, and gloss alkyd resin enamels and a gloss polyamide-epoxy enamel. Seven years exposure, shows finishing systems are available for the protection of aluminum and magnesium.
