Summary: Materials are the essential part of our daily life and civilizations have been known by the materials they introduced. As the science progressed, scientists used the different combinations of material to enhance their properties to cope with new challenges and requirements. Alloys are also the combination of different materials specifically of metals. In early ages Iron and their alloys were used in the manufacturing heavy machineries. Gradually elements of lighter weight replaced the ferrous material like Alloys of Mg and Al. The main focus of this book will be on Aluminum Alloys specifically on Aluminum Alloy 2024. Aluminium alloys called super alloys because of their preferable mechanical and chemical properties for wide range of applications and uses. 2024 aluminium alloy was fabricated by taking percentage weight composition of Al-Cu-Mg-Zn.Corrosion tests were performed in 0.1M NaCl, 1% aqua regia and 5% aqua regia, 1% Potassium Dichromate solution and weight change was recorded in different intervals of time. Corrosion rate was studied by using Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy and morphological studies was accomplished by using Optical Microscopy.
