Q

What must be done to cold worked metal for further forming?

A

Annealing. Work hardening occurs when cold worked which makes the metal hard and brittle. Annealing relives the stresses and softens the metal so it can be worked further.

Q

How does the pure aluminum on ALCLAD prevent corrosion

A

Oxide layer forms on pure aluminum. Aluminum oxide is impervious (non-porous) to water, protects alloy. The alloy itself would not do this as the copper, zinc etc. would react with aluminum in presence of water.
