Notes:
The influence of alloying elements, deliberate or otherwise, and material processing onthe performance of aluminium during surface treatment and finishing are considered. Thus, with asignificant focus on copper, but with consideration of other elemental additions, the behaviour ofaluminium during growth of oxide at ambient temperature, etching or pickling, conversion coatingand anodizing, essential processes for generation of fit-for-purpose products, is highlighted.Further, such processes generate, modify or transform the initially present air-formed alumina film.Consequently, with knowledge of the phenomena proceeding at the alloy/film andfilm/environment interfaces and those within anodic or other films, the possibility of controllingfeatures of nanoscale dimensions for improved performance arises. For example, deliberateselection of alloying elements enables control of nanotextures formed at treated surfaces, andformation of compositionally and morphologically modified films as well as generation ofnanoparticles with various functional properties
