The Corrosion of Al–Cu-Based Alloys and Comments on the Paper "Effect of Solidification Time on Microstructure, Wettability and Corrosion Properties of A205-T7 Aluminum Alloys" by Amir Kordijazi et al.

Al–Cu-based casting alloys have very high strength, but improper heat treatment will create a material susceptible to stress corrosion failure. A review of this problem is provided and discussed regarding a recent study of A205-T7 alloy castings. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
