Are there any Phd's in chemistry out there who can answer this without equivocation? I doubt any respondents thus far have an education degree of any type in chemistry.
Chemistry question on aluminum
Hi,
I am not sure if I am getting paranoia about this...
Nowadays, there are many equipment (amps, speakers, etc) that are made from aluminum; from a slab, ingot, extruded and other processes. And I am a sucker for the raw industrial silvery color Aluminum looks. I just dig them. (Think YG acoustics, Audiomachina, Modwright, Jeff Rowland, Acoustic Signature TT, et al)
But I live in the hot and humid tropics. A friend, knowing that I failed Chemistry in school, put a scary thought in me that white powdery substance will form and corrode them in the long run.
Anyone care to give me a Chemistry 101 lesson on this with respect to Audio equipment?
Thanks.
