    Abstract: Micro additions of certain elements such as zirconium or titanium are added to high strength aluminum alloys to counter discoloring effects of other micro-alloying elements when the high strength alloys are anodized. The other micro-alloying elements are added to increase the adhesion of an anodic film to the aluminum alloy substrate. However, these micro-alloying elements can also cause slight discoloration, such as a yellowing, of the anodic film. Such micro-alloying elements that can cause discoloration can include copper, manganese, iron and silver. The micro additions of additional elements, such as one or more of zirconium, tantalum, molybdenum, hafnium, tungsten, vanadium, niobium and tantalum, can dilute the discoloration of the micro-alloying elements. The resulting anodic films are substantially colorless.

    Abstract: This application relates to a multi-piece enclosure for a portable electronic device (102, 104, 106). The enclosure includes a metal part (240) including a metal substrate (204) and a metal oxide layer (206) overlaying the metal substrate (204), the metal oxide layer (206) having an external surface (202) that includes openings that lead into undercut regions (WU). The openings are characterized as having a first width, and the undercut regions (WU) are characterized as having a second width that is greater than the first width. The enclosure further includes a non-metallic bulk layer (252) including protruding portions that extend into the undercut regions (WU) such that the non-metallic bulk layer (252) is interlocked with the metal part (240).

    Abstract: This application relates to an enclosure for a portable electronic device is described. The enclosure can include metal bands included along the enclosure and a support structure. The support structure can include a thermally conductive core that is capable of conducting thermal energy generated by the operational components and rails that are bound between the metal bands and the thermally conductive core, where the rails are characterized as having a rate of thermal conductivity that is less than a rate of thermal conductivity of the thermally conductive core so that the thermal energy generated by the operational component is directed away from the operational component and away from the metal bands.
