A composition, comprising:
- an aluminum alloy comprising less than or equal to 50 weight percent (wt. %) silicon (Si) and/or less than or equal to 50 wt. % magnesium (Mg) based on a total weight of the aluminum alloy, wherein:
- the aluminum alloy comprises an activating composition comprising gallium (Ga),
- the Ga is concentrated proximate to grain boundaries of the aluminum alloy, wherein the aluminum alloy comprises the activating composition in an amount greater than 10 wt. % based on the total weight of the aluminum alloy, and wherein the composition is reactive with water.
