N2 - Anodizing is the most common method for producing corrosion resistant layer 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. Recently developed eutectic Al–Ce alloys offer advantages like high castability, limited or no heat treatment requirements, and high-temperature strength retention. In this work, Al–Ce alloys are shown to have good compatibility with current processes and may exhibit improved adhesion of passivated layer because intermetallic phases anchor the anodized product to unconverted bulk. The source of these phenomena 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.
