Will Aluminium Structures Last Forever?

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper provides an overview of the main issues related to the durability of aluminium alloy structures. In particular, the main corrosion pathways are considered, in relation to alloy type, microstructural features, thermomechanical treatments and environmental characteristics. The strategies for corrosion mitigation are also discussed, with particular focus on the tailoring of anodizing treatments for enhanced durability.
