Abstract

This paper examines corrosion protection techniques for aluminum alloys, focusing on traditional and innovative surface treatment methods. Aluminum alloys are applicable in many industries due to their advantages derived from the good combination of chemical, physical, and mechanical properties. However, they are susceptible to various forms of corrosion, which can critically compromise the structure of the component and lead to damage that does not ensure safe operation. Coatings are necessary for the durability and effective protection of aluminum and its alloys from corrosion, ensuring safe and long-term operation of components in aggressive environments.
