We demonstrate that the corrosion resistance of the AA2024-T3 alloy can be maximized with
the application of top protective sol-gel hybrid organic-inorganic coatings. Samples …

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 …

Aluminium alloy 2024-T351 was examined using a range of electron microscope techniques
at the early stages of attack after immersion in 0.1 M NaCl aqueous solution. At attack sites …

Sealing treatment is an effective method to prolong the service life of Fe-based amorphous
coatings for steel substrates. Common sealants always have the disadvantages of releasing …

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 effect of a post-treatment for short time in 50 mM Ce (NO 3) 3 solution, with or without H
2 O 2, on the corrosion of AA2024-T3 anodized in tartaric-sulfuric acid was investigated …

Plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) is a versatile and cost-effective technique to obtain
protective oxide coatings in light metals, although its intrinsic porosity is a drawback for long …
