In recent years there has been a great interest in sealing and dyeing hard-coated aluminum in order to improve the corrosion resistance and appearance of the oxide film. Although hard-coated aluminum has very high wear resistance, it has to be sealed to ensure a desirable level of corrosion resistance. However, conventional industrial seals for hard-coated aluminum cause a dramatic reduction in abrasive wear resistance. A novel room temper
