Summary for aluminium 3003 and 3103 corrosion Discussion
The thread asks whether the aluminium alloys 3003 and 3103 behave the same in water corrosion attack, because 3103 was chosen for insulation jacketing but showed widespread oxidation after being exposed to rain in open storage. Maurizio Bani of Milan asks whether badly exposed 3003 would react the same way. The only reply in the excerpt does not answer the technical question; instead, it repeats the request for information and says the writer wants to learn the differences between the two materials. No corrosion comparison, mechanism, or recommendation is provided in the visible text, so the page mainly documents an unanswered materials-selection question rather than a resolved conclusion.
Q. Have the aluminium alloys 3003 and 3103 the same behaviour in water corrosion attack? We have selected alloy 3103 to jacket insulation instead of the alloy 3003, suggested by our Client: this alloy 3103 has been exposed to rain during the open storage, before application and the reaction has been a wide phenomena of oxidation; now we are trying to understand if even alloy 3003 could have the same behaviour if badly exposed to water.
Thanks.

Dear Maurizio Bani:
We learned that you have a question that “Have the aluminium alloys 3003 and 3103 the same behavior in water corrosion attack?”. We have selected alloy 3103 to jacket insulation instead of the alloy
3003. We are in the same position if you have an answer since February please give us this information. We want to learn the differences of two material.
