Алуминият и неговите сплави са жизненоважни за космическата индустрия и важни за транспортната и строителната индустрия. Алуминият се намира в много продукти, включително автомобили, дограма, кухненски уреди и др. Известен със своята сила, пластичност и ниско тегло, също така е популярен поради устойчивостта си на ръжда.
Aluminum is Rust-Resistant
Though aluminum is rust-resistant, it can still corrode. Rust and corrosion are two different things. Corrosion happens thanks to environmental elements causing chemical degeneration of metal. Rust, от друга страна, is a specific type of corrosion whereas iron oxidizes from exposure to oxygen. Aluminum doesn’t contain iron, so it won’t rust.
But It Can Corrode Over Time
Така, aluminum won’t rust but it can corrode over time. Usually, corrosion takes quite a while to occur. Aluminum corrosion is the gradual decay of aluminum molecules into its oxides that degrades its physical and chemical properties.
Ways to Protect Aluminum From Corrosion
If you want to protect your aluminum items from corrosion, store them in a climate-controlled environment to avoid harsh environmental factors. Например, a vehicle stored inside a garage will do better than one left out in the snow, rain, wind, и т.н.. Natural elements like rain and humidity can cause aluminum to corrode.
What else can you do? Get your aluminum item “clear coated” for protection against corrosion. This involves putting a protective layer over the surface of aluminum protecting it from the surrounding environment.
