Hliník a jeho slitiny jsou životně důležité pro letecký a kosmický průmysl a jsou důležité v dopravě a stavebnictví. Hliník se nachází v mnoha výrobcích včetně automobilů, okenní rámy, kuchyňské spotřebiče a další. Známý pro svou sílu, tažnost a nízká hmotnost, je také oblíbený pro svou odolnost vůči rzi.
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, na druhou stranu, 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
Tak, 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. Například, a vehicle stored inside a garage will do better than one left out in the snow, rain, wind, atd. 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.
