ABSTRACT
The corrosion resistance of a cast alloy is often different from that of a
wrought equivalent-sometimes better, sometimes worse. Wrought metal is
metal that has been formed into a desired shape by working (rolling,
extruding, forging, etc.). This includes bar, plate, sheet, tubing, pipe, and
forgings. Most available corrosion data supplied by producers or in the
literature is for wrought material. Use of this data for selection of critical
castings may have undesirable results.
