Abstract:For many applications, aluminum alloys require anodization to produce alumina film that protects the surfaces against corrosion and abrasive wear. This process is often carried out traditionally, by dipping the substrate into a suitable bath of electrolyte. A study on the effectiveness of a direct writing pen for localized anodization of aluminum 6061 surface is presented. The writing pen is designed for applications in which complete submersion of the substrate in an electrolyte is inconvenient or unnecessary… Show more
