Localized Corrosion Susceptibility of Extruded Cu-Lean AA7xxx Gas Metal Arc Welding Lap Joints
Abstract
A study was undertaken to evaluate the localized corrosion susceptibility of extruded Cu-lean aluminum alloy (AA) 7xxx single fillet welded lap joints prepared by gas metal arc welding exposed in a cyclic acidified salt fog environment (ASTM G85-A2). Major parameters varied including the Cu-lean AA7xxx (AA7003 vs. AA7108), heat-treated condition (as-welded T6 vs. post-weld paint-bake), and welded joint orientation (weld applied parallel vs. …
