Default Metalisation creep?

Why would a SMPS high speed Unitrode rectifier stud diode 1N5812 , 20 amp,
fail sitting around in a normal human occupation heated environment for 10
years unused?
Currently reads a stable 6.2 ohms. Replaced with a new one but I intend
passing ever increasing current through the old one to see what happens.
Any other ideas concerning cause or analysis ?
