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 …

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 …

In this work the quality, arrangement, composition, and regularity of nanoporous AAO formed
on the low-purity (AA1050) and high-purity aluminum during two-step anodization in a …

Black inorganic anodized aluminium alloys are used for managing passive thermal control
on spacecraft and for avoiding stray light in optical equipment. Spalling of these coatings …

Composite oxide films containing graphite were fabricated using the anodizing technique on
AA2017-T4 aluminum alloy in diluted sulfuric acid (20 wt%). This study aims to evaluate the …

Modification of anodic aluminum oxides induces light interference leading to various tunes
of color after electrolytic coloring process. In this research, nano-morphology of an anodic …

Hard anodizing by using direct current (DC) is one of the conventional approaches to
fabricate composite oxide film. However, the formation of high porosity and microcracks lead …

The nanostructure of aluminium anodized layer was modified in phosphoric acid to induce
light-interference colors through electrocoloring using nickel pigments. After a mixed sealing …

In this study, plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) process has been employed to fabricate
alumina coatings on AA 6061 aluminum alloy from an electrolyte containing water glass (Na …

The A356 alloy is commonly used in the foundry industry to produce high-stressed
automotive components, such as motor frames and cylinder heads. The aim of this work was …
