Compared with pure aluminum and wrought aluminum alloys, Al foundry alloys are more
difficult to be anodized. The high content of alloying elements prevents the uniform growth of …

TiO2 nanotube layers possess a wide range of applications for energy conversion,
environmental clean‐up, and biomedical implant materials. The formation process of these …

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 …

Anodic aluminum oxide films, industrially produced by anodizing aluminum alloys under the
galvanostatic mode at a relatively low temperature of 20° C (electrolyte bath temperature) …

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 anodized layer growth in H 2 SO 4 2 mol L− 1 on three different aluminium alloys (1050,
7175, 2618) is investigated by in-situ electrochemical methods and ex-situ characterization …

For more than six decades, chromic acid anodizing (CAA) has been the central process in
the surface pre-treatment of aluminum for adhesively bonded aircraft structures …

The influence of an anodizing pre-treatment in sulphuric acid is investigated on plasma
electrolytic oxidation (PEO) of aluminium in silicate electrolyte under constant rms current …

Corrosion is a major problem for high strength aluminium alloys. Thickening of the naturally
formed oxide layer through anodizing is one of the main approaches to improve the …

Anticorrosive protection of Al alloys still depends heavily on the use of chromates, which are
widely and universally employed as chromate conversion coating and chromic acid …
