Hi. In the current project I'm dealing with a system where RO water with ph 5.5 prevails and the temperature is 80C. I would like to know what is the ph range of aluminum with the eddition of sulfuric anodize coating.
Thanks

What you have asked is less than a complete question. In order to talk about corrosion you must fully specify both the material (substrate and coatings) and the service environment. Is the material pure aluminum, or is it an alloy? If it is an alloy, what alloy? What else is in the service environment other than water? Chlorides, sulfates, etc?
I suspect that what you are asking is for the pH range over which aluminum will be passive. The best online textbook on aluminum alloys (and including their corrosion behavior) is Talat
Some nuclear reactor fuel was aluminum clad. An IAEA publication discusses corrosion of spent fuel.
