Abstract

The influence of the degree of corrosion damage on the strength characteristics of aluminum alloy are considered. Methods for assessing corrosion damage, including pitting corrosion, and mathematical models for assessing the durability of aluminum alloys are considered. The methods used for this assessment have high errors. It is proposed to use the approach based on the creation of corrosion damages identical to those that occur after full-scale tests.
