<strong>Critical</strong> <strong>Issues</strong> <strong>for</strong> <strong>Chrome</strong>-<strong>free</strong> <strong>Pretreatment</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Aluminium</strong> <strong>Alloys</strong><br />

Secondary Metal<br />

• As part <strong>of</strong> the FICARP project we examined a continuously cast alloy<br />

AA6011 made from secondary metal<br />

• The corrosion resistance <strong>of</strong> the as-fabricated sheet was poor<br />

• Removal <strong>of</strong> de<strong>for</strong>med surface layers removed the susceptibility to rapid<br />

fili<strong>for</strong>m corrosion but not copper or impurity driven fili<strong>for</strong>m corrosion<br />

• A high resistance to fili<strong>for</strong>m corrosion was achieved using a flame spray<br />

pretreatment to enhance adhesion<br />
