Abstract: Anodized aluminum alloys that are resistant to corrosion are described. According to some embodiments, the anodized aluminum alloys include very small amounts, even trace levels, of corrosion resistant elements with higher Gibbs free energies for oxide formation than aluminum. If the aluminum alloy includes high levels of zinc, the corrosion resistant elements can also have higher Gibbs free energies for oxide formation than zinc. The corrosion resistant elements can accumulate at an interface region of the substrate near the anodic film during the anodizing process, thereby significantly changing the alloy composition in this interface region providing surprising high resistance to certain forms of corrosion. The type and amount of corrosion resistant elements can depend on particular application requirements. In some cases, the anodized aluminum alloys are used as cosmetic appealing housing for consumer electronic products.
