SS-H2 resists Chloride ions (in saltwater) with Manganese and Chromium in order to maintain hydrolysis.

Aluminum requires Gallium to maintain hydrolysis FWIU. Is there a laser or other treatment of aluminum to achieve the same effect as Gallium? Could low voltage be required to maintain hydrolysis; like an air brake?
