agencies/governments are trying to regulate the type of aluminum alloy that can be used. This type of alloy is generally extremely low in copper, and as such is much more resistant to corrosion than the more traditional alloys used. The low copper aluminum alloy standard most often referenced is the LM6 classification of the BS 1490 standard.

Feb 03, 2018 Al alloys can undergo different forms of corrosion, such as pitting corrosion , intergranular corrosion [25,26], and even exfoliation corrosion . It has been accepted that the corrosion resistance of Al alloys is related to the formation of a passive oxide film, which naturally develops on the alloy surface under normal atmospheric conditions.
