Although aluminum ranks high in the electromotive series of the metals, it is highly corrosion resistant because of the tough, transparent, tenacious film of aluminum oxide that rapidly forms on any …

Aluminum connections also may be bolted or riveted. Bolted connections are bearing type. Slip-critical connections, which depend on the frictional resistance of joined parts created by bolt tension, are not usually …

Weldability and brazing properties of aluminum alloys depend heavily on their composition and heat treatment. Most of the wrought alloys can be brazed and welded, but sometimes only by special processes. …

Pure aluminum and aluminum alloys are used in buildings in various forms. Highpurity aluminum (at least 99% pure) is soft and ductile but weak. It has excellent corrosion resistance and is …
