Date Run:

04/01/2016

Experiment Procedure:

Aluminum coupons were weighed to get their initial weights. The bottom third of each coupon was coated in the DOW Corning Vacuum Grease. The coupons were re-weighed. The weights were recorded. The coupons were placed in the heated drop-in solvent replacement for 5 minutes. The coupons were removed out of the and placed to dry on a rack for 15 minutes. Then the final weights were taken
