Breakdown and Pitting Formation of Anodic Film Aluminum Alloy (3003)

Corrosion Resistance Improvement of Aluminum by Hydrophobic Anodic Oxide Film

Diminishing surface wettability is an effective method to improve corrosion resistance of aluminum. Various techniques for preparing hydrophobic surface have been reported, most of which use organic coating as the final step. The key point to diminish surface wettability is to form a fine regular surface structure, and the porous type anodic oxide film (PAOF) has nano-pore structure, therefore ...

Experimental Investigation of Thermal Conductivity of Aluminum Alloy 3003 Produced by Equal Channel Angular Rolling Process

Equal channel angular rolling (ECAR) process is one of the methods that have been used to make ultra-fine materials by imposing severe plastic deformation. After repeating the process several times, a large effective strain is applied to the sample that can cause decreasing the grain size and improving the mechanical and physical properties of the metal. In this study, thermal conductivity of t...

Formation of aluminum nanodot array by combination of nanoindentation and anodic oxidation of aluminum

Porous alumina films formed by aluminum anodic oxidation have been intensively studied to use them as molds to form nanowires or dots. Recently we established the formation of porous alumina on solid substrates such as Si, and found a formation of an ordered aluminum hexagonal dot array after finishing of anodic oxidation on a SiO2 substrate. We investigated AFM nanoindentation to control the i...
