Aluminum hydroxides were produced from AlCl
3 solution. Their characteristics were studied in terms of corrosion product. When the aluminum hydroxide adheres over the surface of intermetallic compounds exposed on the surface of Al-Fe alloys, corrosion potential of Al-Fe alloys shifts to less noble. 0.1M NaCl solution containing AlCl
3 0.01 to 0.1M plays a role of pH buffer. Its maximum pH is about 4.
