The present study investigates the use of carboxylic acids as a post-treatment for sealed AA2024 anodised in tartaric–sulphuric acid electrolyte. Four monocarboxylic acids with different carbon chain lengths were tested ((CH3–(CH2)n–COOH with n = 4, 8, 12 and 16). Hydrophobic surface properties after the post-treatment were characterized by contact angle measurements. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) was performed to assess the ability of the four carboxylic acids to form protective films. It was shown that stearic acid (n = 16) used in its pure molten state was the most efficient. The organic film formed very rapidly (under 5 min) and contributed to the enhancement of the protection in terms of corrosion resistance of the sealed anodic layers. EIS measurements showed the presence of the organic films on the specimen surface.
