ALUMINUM ALLOYS SUITABLE FOR USE IN HIGH TEMPERATURE WATER. Report No. 1

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4284725
Aluminum alloys were tested in water at 500 to 680 C and in steam at 680 C. The effects of temperature and time were evaluated in static and dynamic tests. In addition, the oxide scale wag examined by x-raydiffraction, and the amount of aluminum lost by corrosion was measured. Included in the evaluations were aluminum-copper alloys and other aluminum alloys containing less than 1% of such elements as nickel, iron, silicon, magnesium, manganese, vanadium, and zirconium.
