  2. We present some general concepts and pose questions connected to the difference between the ambient temperature passive film formed on elemental aluminum in acid vs that which forms on iron-aluminum alloys containing less than about 35–40 at% Al. Data is presented which demonstrates that the non-protective oxide that forms on aluminum is not related to impurity effects, either in the matrix or in grain boundaries.We argue that the ability of aluminum to form a protective passive film in a single-phase solid solution alloy is connected to atomic-scale size effects that vanish once the aluminum concentration increases to about 60 at%.
