The invention is a high-strength, pre-coated, aluminum or aluminum-alloy component comprising an aluminum or aluminum-alloy article having ultra-fine, submicron grain microstructure and an organic coating of phenolic resin applied to the surface of the article. The article is prepared from a coarse grain aluminum or aluminum-alloy material that is cryomilled into an ultra-fine, submicron grain material, degassed, and densified. The densified material is formed into an article, and coated with an organic coating containing phenolic resin prior to installation or assembly. |
