1.1This test method covers a procedure for constant immersion exfoliation corrosion (EXCO) testing of high-strength 2XXX (see Note 2) and 7XXX series aluminum alloys.

Note 1:This test method was originally developed for research and development purposes; however, it is referenced, in specific material specifications, as applicable for evaluating production material (refer to Section 14 on Precision and Bias).

Note 2:Some Al-Cu-Li alloys are registered in the 2xxx family. This test method has been reported as non representative of performance in outdoor atmospheres for various Al-Cu-Li alloys in both as-quenched and artificially aged tempers.2

1.2This test method applies to all wrought products such as sheet, plate, extrusions, and forgings produced from conventional ingot metallurgy process.

1.3This test method can be used with any form of specimen or part that can be immersed in the test solution.

1.4This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.

1.5This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
