The voltages applied were in the range of 15-30 V. Anodizing current densities tested were 2 and 3 A/dm^2,while temperatures tested were 5 and 15 ℃. Thickness, surface morphology, hardness,and corrosion resistance of the oxide film were then evaluated.It was found that 25 V,2 A/dm^2 and 5 ℃ were suitable for this alloy when anodized in sulfuric acid. The oxide film was smooth with uniform thickness, low porosity, high hardness,and had the highest corrosion resistance at these parameters. However, discontinuous oxide films were observed from samples anodized at higher temperature of 15 ℃.Alternative electrolytes considered were sulfuric acid mixed with boric acid or citric acid. The results showed that electrolytes with boric acid or citric acid increased thickness, hardness, corrosion resistance and quality of the oxide films.However, these oxide films were inferior to those obtained with sulfuric acid electrolyte at lower temperature(25 V, 2 A/dm^2 and5 ℃).展开更多

The work focuses on the effect of important anodization parameters such as applied voltage, anodization time, and electrolyte type on nanotube morphologies and corresponding surface properties. Depending upon unique nanotube formation structures obtained from each anodizing electrolyte, wettability of the nanotube array layer has been determined by means of the contact angle measurement. The EG nanotube array films with close-packing cell orientation are found to show hydrophilic behavior. While the well separated DEG nanotube array films are found to exhibit hydrophobic behavior, with the characteristics of more discrete, wider cell separation obtained through manipulating the electrolyte conditions and the fabrication techniques offering considerable prospects for developing the superhydrophobic sample surface. Such formation structures observed for the DEG fabricated nanotube is believed to play a prominent role in determining the surface wettability of the anodized nanotube array film. The achieved result in this work is anticipated to pave the way to other relevant applications, where interfacial properties are critically concerned.展开更多
