Effect of aging on corrosion behaviour of AA6061 aluminium alloy

The material for experiments was an extruded sheet AA6061 aluminium alloys by thickness of 2 mm. We studied the influence of different artificial aging parameters on corrosion behaviour of Al-Mg-Si alloy. The Al alloys was solution treated at 490±5oC for 5 hours, quenched in oil at room temperature...
