Corrosion studies utilizing both short-time electrochemical techniques and long-term immersion tests of Type II and Type III anodized Al 5052-0 and uncoated Al 5052-0 were carried out in 30 volume-percent DS2 aqueous decontaminating solution. Both electrochemical and immersion test data indicated that Type III anodized Al 5052-0 provided significantly greater resistance to degradation than Type II anodized Al 5052-0 or uncoated Al 5052-0.
