Formed Finish Not a Structural Concern
Concrete Foundations Association (CFA)
The Concrete Foundations Association explains the references supporting the decisions to form cast-in-place concrete with any material and why aluminum is not a structural concern when used as the form.
Lines formed by the bubbling and subsequent movement of hydrogen at the interface of new, untreated aluminum forms and concrete prior to initial set are commonly misunderstood as cracks. This wall is more than fifteen years old and exposed throughout its duration with no protective coating. It is a yard wall formed for the sole purpose of pre-treating new aluminum forms, a process they no longer use due to manufacturer pre-treatments.
