Take that, you aluminum! (Or: How do you produce aluminum ethanolate?)

Moin, the constant sult over the alu corrosion leaves me no rest. Various test series with aluminium inlaid in E85 remained of course resultless, so I started a short time a further attempt. – Take off an aluminium tube – loop the passivation layer – Heat the whole thing with a gas burner on a few hundred grad celsius – And dip the thing then in a glass 96% ethanol. The whole gives a funny film boiling during immersion n: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qOIhWeowxQM That’s what you do for a whole evening… And then you find out from the alcohol damping that the alu has slightly discoloured on the remaining passive layer, but only there. I can’t say if the residue of the dedensing agent is now, for example. The bare aluminium doesn’t seem to be discoloured. I guess, without high pressure, it won’t be anything, and I conclude the short experiment as resultless. Greetings
