Dimensional Changes of Anodized Aluminum
and temperature, as well as the thickness of coating. In this METALAST TECHSpec, the dimensional change of aluminum alloys anodized by the METALAST process at different current densities are presented. Seven alloys: 1100-H14, 2024-T3, 3003-H14, 5005-H34, 6061-T6, 6063-T52 and 7075-T6 were used in this study

Suitability of Materials for Pulsed Laser Welding (.pdf)
, and gold coating thickness should be minimized to 50 micro inches. Aluminum: Welding is limited to certain grades such as 6061 to 4047 or 4032, 1050, 3003 and 5005. High energy levels required to overcome surface reflectivity. Other aluminum alloys should be tested thoroughly for joint design

Corrosion Resistance
samples must last 336 hours in the salt spray chamber before significant corrosion occurs. Testing was performed on six common alloys: 2024-T3, 3003-H14, 5005-H34, 6061-T6, 6063-T52, and 7075-T6. Ten aluminum coupons (4"x 4") of each alloy were anodized to 0.7 mil under Type II conditions using

Soldering Processes
, because galvanic corrosion can cause catastrophic failure. Commonly soldered wrought-aluminum alloys are 1060, 1100, 1145, 3003, 5005, 6061, 7072, and 8112. Aluminum casting alloys are not solderable. Solders with high zinc content are used on wrought-aluminum assemblies. Tin-lead solders
