    Abstract: Described are techniques for making aluminum alloy products and methods for pre-treating aluminum alloys with small molecules, and the resultant aluminum alloy products, in which small molecules including phosphorus-containing organic acid functionality, such as organo-phos-phonic acids, are applied to a surface of an aluminum alloy product to generate a self-assembled monolayer or multilayer of small molecules on the surface of the aluminum alloy product. Mixtures of different phosphorus-containing organic acids may be employed. At least some of the phospho-ms-containing organic acids may exhibit a hydrophilic character, such as by including one or more hydrophilic functional groups. The self-assembled monolayer or multilayer including hydrophilic functionality may advantageously allow the aluminum alloy product to have a good wettability by water and other hydrophilic substances, such as some epoxy adhesives, but also to have a good wet-tability by hydrophobic substances, such as some lubricants.

    Abstract: Described herein are pretreatment compositions, coated aluminum alloy products, and methods for coating the alloys. The pretreatment compositions include inorganic chemical corrosion inhibitors dispersed in a silane-based matrix and may further include clay particles. The inorganic chemical corrosion inhibitors include rare earth metals and salts thereof. The pretreatment compositions, when applied to the surface of an alloy, inhibit corrosion of the alloys. The pretreatment compositions can be used in automotive, electronics, industrial, transportation, and other applications.
