When you design your product, you put a lot of money, energy and consideration into achieving the best possible function, good appearance and high reliability. Corrosion, wear and fatigue resistance may not be the first factors you consider.
However, material selection is crucial to obtain a long service life and to avoid damage such as operation failure – for instance due to inadequate mechanical strength - or unacceptable appearance due to corrosion products.
If you choose the correct materials for your product from the beginning, you can prevent damage deriving from corrosion, wear and mechanical impact. In many cases, you may completely avoid corrosion by choosing a resistant material for its actual application environment.
This topic describes two main categories of corrosion. It also explains the electrochemical corrosion phenomena and the differences between the types of corrosion. This topic also states the corrosion preventive steps.

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Corrosion of Aluminum and Its Alloys: Forms of Corrosion

Atmospheric Corrosion
Atmospheric corrosion is defined as the corrosion or degradation of material exposed to the air and its
pollutants rather than immersed in a liquid. This has been identified as one of the oldest forms of corrosion and
has been reported to account for more failures in terms of cost and tonnage than any other single environment.
Many authors classify atmospheric corrosion under categories of dry, damp, and wet, thus emphasizing the
different mechanisms of attack under increasing humidity or moisture.
Corrosivity of the atmosphere to metals varies greatly from one geographic location to another,
depending on such weather factors as wind direction, precipitation and temperature changes, amount and type of
urban and industrial pollutants, and proximity to natural bodies of water. Service life may also be affected by the
design of the structure if weather conditions cause repeated moisture condensation in unsealed crevices or in
channels with no provision for drainage.
Uniform Corrosion
General corrosion, or uniform corrosion, occurs in the solutions where pH is either very high or very low, or at
high potentials in electrolytes with high chloride concentrations. In acidic (low pH) or alkaline (high pH)
solutions, the aluminum oxide is unstable and thus non-protective.
Galvanic Corrosion
Economically, galvanic corrosion creates the largest number of corrosion problems for aluminum alloys.
Galvanic corrosion, also known as dissimilar metal corrosion, occurs when aluminum is electrically connected
to a more noble metal, and both are in contact with the same electrolyte.
Crevice Corrosion
Crevice corrosion requires the presence of a crevice, a salt water environment, oxygen (Fig. 1). The crevice can
result from the overlap of two parts, or gap between a bolt and a structure. When aluminum is wetted with the
saltwater and water enters the crevice, little happens initially. Over time, inside the crevice oxygen is consumed
due to the dissolution and precipitation of aluminum.
Abstract:
Corrosion is the chemical reaction of a metal, in this case aluminum, with its
environment, which leads to the deterioration of the properties of metals, aluminum in this case.
Aluminum is a very reactive metal, but it is also a passive metal. This contradictory nature is
explainable because nascent aluminum reacts with oxygen or water and forms a coherent surface
oxide which impedes further reaction of aluminum with the environment. Corrosion is the
chemical reaction of a metal, in this case aluminum, with its environment, which leads to the
deterioration of the properties of metals, aluminum in this case. Aluminum is a very reactive
metal, but it is also a passive metal. This contradictory nature is explainable because nascent
aluminum reacts with oxygen or water and forms a coherent surface oxide which impedes further
reaction of aluminum with the environment. Aluminum is chemically very reactive. For example,
powdered aluminum is used as rocket propellant for propulsion of the space shuttle's solid fuel
rockets. Additionally, the reaction of aluminum with water releases a tremendous amount of
energy:
AI + 3H2O → AI(OH)3 + 3H2 ↑
Corrosion is the reaction of aluminum with water and the subsequent deterioration of its
properties. Corrosion, by definition, is a slow process, requiring days or years to occur to a
noticeable extent, as opposed to similar electrochemical reactions such as etching, brightening,
or anodizing which occur in minutes or less. Aluminum alloys may corrode via several different
pathways. Recognizing the pathway or the forms of aluminum corrosion is an important step to
determine the appropriate remedy for each probe.
2. Corrosion of Aluminum and Its Alloys…
www.ijceronline.com Open Access Journal Page 29
Figure 1: Crevice corrosion can occur in a saltwater environment if the crevice becomes deaerated, and the
oxygen reduction reaction occurs outside of the crevice mouth. Under these conditions, the crevice becomes
more acidic, and corrosion occurs at an increasing rate.
Pitting Corrosion
Corrosion of aluminum in the passive range is localized, usually manifested by random formation of pits. The
pitting-potential principle establishes the conditions under which metals in the passive state are subject to
corrosion by pitting.
Pitting corrosion is very similar to crevice corrosion. Pitting of aluminum alloys occurs if the electrolyte
contains a low level of chloride anions, and if the alloy is at a potential above the "pitting potential." Pitting
initiates at defects on the surface of the aluminum, such as at second phase particles or on grain boundaries.
Deposition Corrosion
In designing aluminum and aluminum alloys for satisfactory corrosion resistance, it is important to keep in mind
that ions of several metals have reduction potentials that are more cathodic than the solution potential of
aluminum and therefore can be reduced to metallic form by aluminum. For each chemical equivalent of so-
called heavy-metal ions reduced, a chemical equivalent of aluminum is oxidized. Reduction of only a small
amount of these ions can lead to severe localized corrosion of aluminum, because the metal reduced from them
plates onto the aluminum and sets up galvanic cells.
The more important heavy metals are copper, lead, mercury, nickel, and tin. The effects of these metals on
aluminum are of greatest concern in acidic solutions; in alkaline solutions, they have much lower solubilities
and therefore much less severe effects.
Intergranular Corrosion
Intergranular (intercrystalline) corrosion is selective attack of grain boundaries or closely adjacent regions
without appreciable attack of the grains themselves. Intergranular corrosion is a generic term that includes
several variations associated with different metallic structures and thermomechanical treatments. Intergranular
corrosion is caused by potential differences between the grain-boundary region and the adjacent grain bodies.
The location of the anodic path varies with the different alloy systems. In 2xxx series alloys, it is a narrow band
on either side of the boundary that is depleted in copper; in 5xxx series alloys, it is the anodic constituent
Mg2AI3 when that constituent forms a continuous path along a grain boundary; in copper-free 7xxx series alloys,
it is generally considered to be the anodic zinc- and magnesium-bearing constituents on the grain boundary. The
6xxx series alloys generally resist this type of corrosion, although slight intergranular attack has been observed
in aggressive environments.
Exfoliation Corrosion
Exfoliation corrosion is a special form of intergranular corrosion which occurs when the grains are flattened by
heavy deformation during hot or cold rolling, and where no recrystallization has occurred. Exfoliation is
characteristic for the 2000 (Al-Cu), 5000 (Al-Mg), and 7000 (Al-Zn-Mg) series alloys which have grain
boundary precipitation or depleted grain boundary regions.
The remedy for exfoliation is similar to above for IG corrosion. To prevent the exfoliation of alloy 7075-T6, the
newer alloy 7150-T77 can be substituted wherever 7075-T6 is used.
3. Corrosion of Aluminum and Its Alloys…

Erosion-Corrosion
Erosion-corrosion of aluminum occurs in high velocity water and is similar to jet-impingement corrosion.
Erosion-corrosion of aluminum is very slow in pure water, but is accelerated at pH > 9, especially with high
carbonate and high silica content of the water.
Aluminum is very stable is neutral water; however it will corrode in either acidic or alkaline waters. To prevent
erosion-corrosion, one may change the water chemistry or reduce the velocity of the water, or both. For the
water chemistry, the pH must be below 9, and the carbonate and the silica levels must be reduced.
Stress Corrosion Cracking (SCC)
Stress corrosion cracking (SCC) is the bane of aluminum alloys. SCC requires three simultaneous conditions,
first a susceptible alloy, second a humid or water environment, and third a tensile stress which will open the
crack and enable crack propagation. SCC can occur in two modes, intergranular stress corrosion cracking
(IGSCC) which is the more common form, or transgranular SCC (TGSCC). In IGSCC, the crack follows the
grain boundaries. In transgranular stress corrosion cracking (TGSCC), the cracks cut through the grains and are
oblivious to the grain boundaries.
The general trend to use higher strength alloys peaked in 1950 with alloy 7178-T651 used on the Boeing 707,
then the industry changed to using lower strength alloys. The yield strength of the upper wing skin did not
exceed the 1950 level until the Boeing 777 in the 1990s. The reason lower strength alloys were selected for the
Boeing 747 and the L-1011 was that the aircraft designers chose an alloy with better SCC resistance rather than
the higher yield strength.
Corrosion Fatigue
Corrosion fatigue can occur when an aluminum structure is repeatedly stressed at low stress levels in a corrosive
environment. A fatigue crack can initiate and propagate under the influence of the crack-opening stress and the
environment. Similar striations may sometimes be found on corrosion fatigued samples, but often the
subsequent crevice corrosion in the narrow fatigue crack dissolves them.
Fatigue strengths of aluminum alloys are lower in such corrosive environments as seawater and other salt
solutions than in air, especially when evaluated by low-stress long-duration tests. Like SCC of aluminum alloys,
corrosion fatigue requires the presence of water. In contrast to SCC, however, corrosion fatigue is not
appreciably affected by test direction, because the fracture that results from this type of attack is predominantly
transgranular.
Filiform Corrosion
Filiform corrosion (also known as wormtrack corrosion) is a cosmetic problem for painted aluminum. Pinholes
or defects in the paint from scratches or stone bruises can be the initiation site where corrosion begins with salt
water pitting. Filiform corrosion requires chlorides for initiation and both high humidity and chlorides for the
propagation of the track.
The propagation depends on where and how the alloy is used. The filament must be initiated by chlorides, and
then it proceeds by a mechanism similar to crevice corrosion. The head is acidic, high in chlorides, and
deaerated and is the anodic site. Oxygen and water vapor diffuse through the filiform tail, and drive the cathodic
reaction. Filiform corrosion can be prevented by sealing defects with paint or wax, and keeping the relative
humidity low.
Microbiological Induced Corrosion
Microbiological Induced Corrosion (MIC) applies to a corrosive situation which is caused or aggravated by the
biological organisms. A classic case of MIC is the growth of fungus at the water/fuel interface in aluminum
aircraft fuel tanks. The fungus consumes the high octane fuel, and excretes an acid which attacks and pits the
aluminum fuel tank and causes leaking. The solution for this problem is to control the fuel quality and prevent
water from entering or remaining in the fuel tanks. If fuel quality control is not feasible, then fungicides are
sometimes added to the aircraft fuel.
