Abstract
The implications of aging on the properties of unsealed and poorly and properly sealed anodized aluminium exposed to the atmosphere of the U niversity Campus of Madrid for 0, 1, 2, 3, 17 and 20 years were invest igated. Aging is shown to occur for many years and to lead to a sealin g quality well above that required by industrial standards. (C) 1997 E lsevier Science Ltd.
