Aluminium dan aloi adalah penting bagi industri aeroangkasa dan penting dalam industri pengangkutan dan bangunan. Aluminum is found in many products including automobiles, bingkai tingkap, kitchen appliances and more. Known for its strength, ductility and low weight, it’s also popular because of its resistance to rust.
Aluminum is Rust-Resistant
Though aluminum is rust-resistant, it can still corrode. Rust and corrosion are two different things. Corrosion happens thanks to environmental elements causing chemical degeneration of metal. Rust, selain itu, is a specific type of corrosion whereas iron oxidizes from exposure to oxygen. Aluminum doesn’t contain iron, so it won’t rust.
But It Can Corrode Over Time
Jadi, aluminum won’t rust but it can corrode over time. Usually, corrosion takes quite a while to occur. Aluminum corrosion is the gradual decay of aluminum molecules into its oxides that degrades its physical and chemical properties.
Ways to Protect Aluminum From Corrosion
If you want to protect your aluminum items from corrosion, store them in a climate-controlled environment to avoid harsh environmental factors. Sebagai contoh, a vehicle stored inside a garage will do better than one left out in the snow, rain, wind, dan lain-lain. Natural elements like rain and humidity can cause aluminum to corrode.
What else can you do? Get your aluminum item “clear coated” for protection against corrosion. This involves putting a protective layer over the surface of aluminum protecting it from the surrounding environment.
