Temperature and Forms of Corrosion

During the 1950s, when aluminium was considered as a cladding material for nuclear fuel, a large number of tests in pure water up to 350 °C were carried out in France, 

It should be noted that the limits of the temperature ranges may vary significantly, by several tens of degrees, depending on the composition of aluminium and water. 

Whether in distilled water, freshwater or seawater, above 60-70 °C, the formation of more or less coloured layers with a structure similar to that of boehmite is observed. The thickness of these oxide layers increases with temperature and with time. They can 

Globally, aluminium s corrosion resistance in freshwater is better at a temperature between 70 and 100 than at room temperature.
