"A welcome addition to technical libraries, Corrosion of Aluminium takes on this challenging topic in both scientific and practical terms, offering an all-inclusive analysis of the subject—a corrosion classic in every sense." -- Light Metal Age

Corrosion of Aluminium, Second Edition, highlights the practical and general aspects of the corrosion of aluminium alloys. Chapters help readers new to the topic understand the metallurgical, chemical and physical features of aluminium alloys. Author Christian Vargel adopts a practitioner styled approach that is based on the expertise he has gained during a 40-year career in aluminium corrosion. The book assesses the corrosion resistance of aluminium, a key metric recognized as one of the main conditions for the development of many uses of aluminium in transport, construction, power transmission, and more.
