Organic primers formulated with corrosion inhibitors are typically applied to pretreated metal surfaces to protect the surfaces prior to adhesive bonding and during environmental exposure. Pike [7-11] found that inorganic primers, such as sec-butyl aluminum alkoxide, improved the durability of aluminum-epoxy bonds when applied to both porous and nonporous aluminum oxide surfaces. It was shown that the effective thickness of the inorganic primer was directly related to the degree of oxide porosity and the depth of the porous oxide layer resulting from the normally used pretreatments for aluminum [10,11].
