  • Durability and Corrosion of Aluminium and Its Alloys: Overview, Property Space, Techniques and Developments
    Chapter 2 Durability and Corrosion of Aluminium and Its Alloys: Overview, Property Space, Techniques and Developments N. L. Sukiman, X. Zhou, N. Birbilis, A.E. Hughes, J. M. C. Mol, S. J. Garcia, X. Zhou and G. E. Thompson Additional information is available at the end of the chapter http://dx.doi.org/10.5772/53752 1. Introduction Aluminium (Al) is an important structural engineering material, its usage ranking only behind ferrous alloys (Birbilis, Muster et al. 2011). The growth in usage and production of Al continues to increase (Davis 1999). The extensive use of Al lies in its strength:density ratio, toughness, and to some degree, its corrosion resistance. From a corrosion perspec‐ tive, which is most relevant to this chapter, Al has been a successful metal used in a num‐ ber of applications from commodity roles, to structural components of aircraft. A number of Al alloys can be satisfactorily deployed in environmental/atmospheric conditions in their conventional form, leaving the corrosion protection industry to focus on market needs in more demanding applications (such as those which require coating systems, for example, the aerospace industry). Relatively pure aluminium presents good corrosion resistance due to the formation of a bar‐ rier oxide film that is bonded strongly to its surface (passive layer) and, that if damaged, re- forms immediately in most environments; i.e. re-passivation (Davis 1999). This protective oxide layer is especially stable in near-neutral solutions of most non-halide salts leading to excellent pitting resistance. Nevertheless, in open air solutions containing halide ions, with Cl- being the most common, aluminium is susceptible to pitting corrosion.

Acknowledgments Thanks to the members of the BackyardMetalcasting.com forums, without which this book would never have existed. i Disclaimer Many of the activities described in this book are very dangerous. I make an attempt to point out some specific safety precautions as they come up, but there is no way I can point out every conceivable danger. I'm not a professional foundryman, scientist, or engineer, just a hobbyist—so there may be dangers that I don't even know about. For that matter, any advice I give could be wrong or even dangerous in certain situations. I can't be held responsible for any harm that comes to person or property as a result of following my advice or using any of the information in this book. Remember, the extremely high temperatures that liquid metal can reach are more than enough to send you to the hospital or kill you, or to set fire to anything nearby (like your house). Other activities, like welding or machining, present their own very serious dangers. iii TABLE OF CONTENTS Table of Contents Introduction...........................................................................................................................1

Kappel November 2007 2 © 2007 Caroline J. Kappel All Rights Reserved 3 This dissertation titled Labyrinthine Depictions and Tempting Colors: The Synaesthetic Dances of Loïe Fuller as Symbolist Choreography by CAROLINE J. KAPPEL has been approved for the Interdisciplinary Arts and the College of Fine Arts by William F. Condee Professor of Interdisciplinary Arts Charles A. McWeeny Dean, College of Fine Arts 4 ABSTRACT KAPPEL, CAROLINE J., Ph.D., November 2007, Interdisciplinary Arts Labyrinthine Depictions and Tempting Colors: The Synaesthetic Dances of Loïe Fuller as Symbolist Choreography (246 pp.) Director of Dissertation: William F. Condee This study explores Loïe Fuller’s use of synaesthesia to bring together various sensations so as to create a dreamlike effect in her choreography, while at the same time presenting a visual representation of symbolist ideals. On the music-hall stage she created popular ideas that had otherwise been restricted to small experimental theaters. In the visual arts, she became a constant public image of poster art as well as paintings, sculptures, and prints. She also dramatically presented the visualization of avant-garde color theories, while simultaneously representing symbolist ideals of the literary world. By tracing her explorations with the other arts in the context of various artistic, scientific, and movement theories, Fuller’s work can serve as a model for interdisciplinary studies in the fine arts.
