The AA 2198-T851 is a third-generation Al-Li alloy developed for use in the aircraft industry. alloys are susceptible to localized corrosion due their complex microstructure resulting from used thermomechanical treatment. In order prevent corrosion, these usually protected by anodizing avoid corrosive environment. Subsequently, anodizing, sealing treatment performed parts. Some treatments hexav...

Titanium (Ti) is a material frequently used in orthopedic applications, due to its good mechanical properties and high corrosion resistance. However, formation of a non-adherent fibrous tissue between material and bone drastically could affect the osseointegration process and, therefore, the mechanical stability of the implant. Modifications of topography and configuration of the tissue/materia...

We present an efficient strategy to identify anodizing electrolytes by coupling conventional Eh–pH diagrams with first-principles density functional theory calculations. Herein, the growth of ultra-thin films having a thickness 10–20 nm is successfully demonstrated on thermally evaporated holmium. Considering only thermodynamic basis, simulated Eh-pH diagrams, and solubility analysis, different...

THE ANODIZING PROCESS OF ALUMINUM AND ITS ALLOYS: A HISTORICAL ELECTROCHEMICAL APPROACH. Al and its alloys are found in several industrial applications. However, like most metals, this material is not immune to corrosion, being necessary be protected against corrosion. One of the methods commonly employed improve corrosion resistance anodizing process, which consists thickening natural oxide (A...
