Abstract
Study of modified Al-2.5Mg alloys containing chromium, silica, iron, a nd manganese in various tempers (O, H-18, T-4, T-6, T-18, and H-34) ha s shown that their corrosion resistance is significantly altered by th ermomechanical treatment and the beneficial effect of chromium on micr ostructural changes. Modified binary Al-2.5Mg alloys in the T-6 and T- 4 tempers exhibit a higher resistance to corrosion in Arabian Gulf wat er than H-34 tempers due to the beneficial effect of chromium on micro structural changes.
