| Abstract Scope |
Anodizing is the most common method for producing corrosion resistant conversion coatings for aluminum alloys. It is possible to use anodizing with most commercial aluminum alloys to increase material corrosion resistance, but often the brittle, passive oxide layer formed during anodization does not adhere well to the material reducing effectiveness and overall compatibility. Therefore, it is important for the compatibility and effect of anodization to be studied for any newly developed alloys. Eutectic Al-Ce alloys are a recent discovery and offer great advantages for producing economic high-temperature alloys for next generation applications. Anodizing of Al-Ce alloys shows good compatibility with current processes and may exhibit novel passivated layer adhesion properties whereby intermetallic phases anchor the anodized product to unconverted bulk. The source of these properties and their effect on material corrosion and layer adhesion properties of Al-Ce alloys will be discussed and compared with results from common commercial aluminum alloys. |
