    Abstract: Methods of forming anodic oxide coatings on high strength aluminum alloys are described. Methods involve preventing or reducing the formation of interface-weakening species, such as zinc-sulfur compounds, at an interface between an anodic oxide coating and underlying aluminum alloy substrate during anodizing. In some embodiments, a micro-alloying element is added in very small amounts to an aluminum alloy substrate to prevent enrichment of zinc at the anodic oxide and substrate interface, thereby reducing or preventing formation of the zinc-sulfur interface-weakening species. In some embodiments, a sulfur-scavenging species is added to an aluminum alloy substrate to prevent sulfur from a sulfuric acid anodizing bath from binding with zinc and forming the zinc-sulfur interface-weakening species at the anodic oxide and substrate interface. In some embodiments, a micro-alloying element and a sulfur-scavenging species are added to an aluminum alloy substrate. Resultant anodic oxide coatings have minimal or no discoloration.

    Abstract: A method for producing a multi-layer anodic coating on a metal is described. The method comprises the steps of (i) placing the metal in a first electrolytic solution and applying a current to form a first anodic layer having a barrier region; (ii) reducing the applied current to cause a reduction in thickness of the barrier region; and (iii) placing the metal in a second electrolytic solution and applying a current to form a second anodic layer.

    Abstract: Embodiments of golf club heads and methods to manufacture such a golf club heads are generally described herein. In some embodiments, the golf club head may include a ball-striking face and a protective aluminum oxide layer coupled to the ball-striking face of the golf club head. The protective aluminum oxide layer is associated with a hardness that is greater than that of the ball-striking face. In further embodiments, golf club heads may include a top portion and at least one of a plurality of interchangeable alignment indicia coupled thereto, which are configured to guide the golf club head relative to a golf ball.
