Surface segregation phenomena of iron in high purity aluminum alloys containing 280mass-ppm iron (Al–280Fe) were investigated by using electrochemical impedance technique. The specimens were heat-treated at 723 K for 20 h. Surface oxide films were dissolved into solution at pH 8.0 and then electrochemical impedance was measured in H

f) of the films has decreased with chemical dissolution. The decreasing rate of 1/C
f for the annealed Al–280Fe is remarkably slower than that in high purity aluminum containing free iron (5N–Al) and has shown two characteristic regions: one region which deflect the concentrated iron, 1/C
f decreases gradually as the dissolution time increases and the resistance of the film in Al–280Fe is smaller than that in the film on 5N–Al, the other region, the decreasing rate of 1/C
f and resistance in Al–280Fe are similar to those in 5N–Al.
