How many of you mustang fags have been burned by Ford's aluminum corrosion?

Not even once.

Aluminum corrodes when it isn't coated in some sort of material to prevent it. Ford applies a special corrosion agent under the paint, but it's already been shown that moisture can make it's way in. Just like paint on steel if it gets scratched then the corrosion resistance is gone.
If you scrape the paint off an aluminum soda or beer can it will corrode rather quickly.

Nope. Ford found a way. Iron contamination.
Basically ford is smashing tiny particles of iron into the body panels, trunk and engine lids during pressing. The iron/aluminum react with each other and cause rust under the paint. Best part, Ford is denying all warranty claims to fix peoples cars properly and its been going on since about 2005.

forgot muh pic
where da ford shillz at yo?!
>>14151693
I'm guessing this is the right answer.

You're retarded. Aluminum doesn't need a coating, it forms its own. Flakes of aluminum corrode because they're simply too thin to do so.
>>14151692
I thought aluminum only formed a thin protective layer of alumina on the surface.

this is galvanic corrosion retard

...galvanized aluminum?

Pitting is common in the type and application of aluminum Ford is using. Pitting via moisture salt or other contaminants hampers the ability to create a new protective layer.
Aluminum corrodes. It's not like steel, and certainly not as bad, but aluminium isn't corrosion proof, but merely corrosion resistant. Untreated raw aluminium becomes very nasty looking without a layer of protective coating under paint to keep it uniform.
>>14151704
This is true when the aluminum is exposed to air. If the coating is removed in an environment where there is no air, but a reactive material, it will corrode. This is why if you scratch the inside of a soda can with soda in it, it will corrode through the can.

Not me. I never fell for that forum scare bushtit. /o/ will though. It's in their nature.

There are only two metals which do not ever corrode: Gold and platinum. Also, note that metals often have multiple ways they can corrode under different circumstances.
The typical way aluminum corrodes results in something known as "passivization", in which the corroded outer layer of the piece of aluminum creates a barrier that prevents inner layers from corroding. This is different from, say, the typical way in which iron corrodes, which results in the outer layers expanding and becoming porous, which exposes inner layers of the material to the elements and permits further corrosion.
If you've ever heard of blued steel, or bluing steel, that refers to a different form of iron corrosion than the typical, in which the outside layer seals the inner layers and prevents them from getting corroded. Note that passivization techniques like this are still technically corrosion because the material oxidizes and its chemical formula changes.

>>14151704
That process is actually a form of corrosion.

Do you know what that "forms it's own" coating is? Oxidation.
