Corrosion evaluation of aluminum 5083

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5922959
The results from the ASSET (exfoliation), NAWLT (weight loss after exposure to nitric acid), and stress corrosion cracking tests of aluminum 5083 used in pressure vessels are presented. Most of the corrosion work was done on commercial plate stock material from a process developed at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL), although some hemispheres (hemis) from both commercial and premium grade material were used in the ASSET evaluation. The hemis from commercial aluminum experienced severe exfoliation corrosion, while the premium material was left virtually unattacked.
