The aerospace field is traditionally strategic for the development of novel materials needed
for the specific requirements of aircraft structures and propulsion systems. A large number of …

We demonstrate that the corrosion resistance of the AA2024-T3 alloy can be maximized with
the application of top protective sol-gel hybrid organic-inorganic coatings. Samples …

A two-step anodization process performed at 0° C was used to prepare highly ordered
porous anodic alumina on the AA1050 alloy and high purity aluminum foil. The anodizing of …

Aluminium alloy 2024-T351 was examined using a range of electron microscope techniques
at the early stages of attack after immersion in 0.1 M NaCl aqueous solution. At attack sites …

SEM based tomography of localized corrosion has been achieved using selective detection
of backscattered electrons. The high resolution tomography provides direct evidence that …

Sealing treatment is an effective method to prolong the service life of Fe-based amorphous
coatings for steel substrates. Common sealants always have the disadvantages of releasing …

Anodizing a simple and effective method to improve the wear resistance of 6061 aluminum
alloy. In this study, the microstructure of 6061 aluminum alloy oxide films (AAO) was …

The effects of permanent mold cast microstructure on the growth of anodic oxide layers on
three different aluminum substrates (ie Al99. 8, AlSi10, and AlSi10Cu3, wt.%) were …
