ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a process for improving the surface condition of Li-containing Al alloy products. According to the process, heating at a temperature exceeding 300.degree. C. takes place in an atmosphere containing, in volume percent, 5 to 98% CO.sub.2, 2.ltoreq.dry air.ltoreq.95% and the remainder water. The process prevents the appearance of surface pitting and reduces the depth of the Li-depleted surface zone.
