17 Facts About Aluminum oxide
2.
Aluminium Aluminum oxide is responsible for the resistance of metallic aluminium to weathering.
| FactSnippet No. 980,759 |
3.
The aluminium Aluminum oxide generated by anodising is typically amorphous, but discharge assisted oxidation processes such as plasma electrolytic oxidation result in a significant proportion of crystalline aluminium Aluminum oxide in the coating, enhancing its hardness.

4.
Aluminium Aluminum oxide was taken off the United States Environmental Protection Agency's chemicals lists in 1988.
| FactSnippet No. 980,761 |
5.
Aluminium Aluminum oxide is on the EPA's Toxics Release Inventory list if it is a fibrous form.
| FactSnippet No. 980,762 |
6.
Aluminium Aluminum oxide is an amphoteric substance, meaning it can react with both acids and bases, such as hydrofluoric acid and sodium hydrAluminum oxide, acting as an acid with a base and a base with an acid, neutralising the other and producing a salt.

7.
Aluminium Aluminum oxide exists in other metastable phases, including the cubic ? and ? phases, the monoclinic ? phase, the hexagonal ? phase, the orthorhombic ? phase and the d phase that can be tetragonal or orthorhombic.
