Plasma electrolytic polishing is a relatively new method which is successfully applied for
finishing metals and alloys due to several advantages. These include the high quality of the …

Anodizing is a well-documented surface treatment that is inserted in a complex protection
system against corrosion applied to Al alloys. In the scientific literature, there are many …

The effect of a post-treatment for short time in 50 mM Ce (NO 3) 3 solution, with or without H
2 O 2, on the corrosion of AA2024-T3 anodized in tartaric-sulfuric acid was investigated …

Due to their superior mechanical properties, formability, corrosion resistance, and
lightweight nature, 6xxx series aluminum (Al) alloys are considered as a promising structural …

This paper aims to investigate the mechanisms of formation and growth of the anodised
surface layer on Al-Si castings by applying different analytical techniques such as optical …

The study aimed to test the durability of coatings under natural conditions. The present study
focused on the changes in wettability and additional properties of the coatings under natural …

Distinct chemically and mechanically induced features, evident in the grains of the AA5083-
O aluminium alloy, and their effects on anodizing and corrosion have been studied. The …

The use of aluminum material is very common, especially in parts that require precision
mechanical processing, such as in the aerospace or defense industry. Since weight …

The tin-pigmented aluminium oxide film (Sn–Al 2 O 3) based solar selective absorber was
successfully prepared with three different contents of tin by an anodization process. The …

This work describes the influence of 99.99% Al sheet surface microstructure on the
properties (electrical, ionic defects) of high-field grown barrier anodic oxides and how …
