•    Description:  The eleventh article in a series focused on extrusion defects addresses corrosion aspects on mill finish extrusion. Inter-granular, stress corrosion, or exfoliation corrosioncan be encountered in a number of aluminum alloys and can result from a wide variety of causes and conditions, most of which involve some degree of acidic environment and a marked “structure-sensitive” element. This condition develops either duringstorage or in service and results in an unacceptable surface. Descriptions of the characteristics, appearance, causes, and possible remedies are provided.
