Extract

It is well known that, under certain conditions, duralumin and other wrought aluminium alloys are liable to suffer intercrystalline attack, such corrosion being frequently accompanied by little visible corrosion product on the surface of the material. The necessity for careful temperature control during the solution heat treatment of duralumin and the beneficial influence of a rapid rate of cooling after such heat treatment on the corrosion-resistance of this material are now too widely appreciated to need emphasis here.
