Abstract
A kind of environment-friendly anodic oxidation technology was used to oxidize 2024 aluminum alloys from mixed acid solutions to effectively improve the anticorrosion and mechanical performances. The influences of anode oxidation method on surface morphology, microstructure, composition, electrochemistry parameter, anticorrosion property were studied. Aluminum alloy oxidation is actually a dynamic equilibrium process of the formation and dissolution of oxide film which is composed of porous and non-porous layer. With the treatment of anodic oxidation, [Formula: see text]-Al2O3 and [Formula: see text]-Al2O3 structures were obtained on the surface of aluminum alloys, which contributed directly to the increase of anticorrosion performance. The potassium dichromate solution was used to seal the surface of oxide films to further improve the anticorrosion property. The oxide films sealed with potassium dichromate were covered with leaf-like structures resulting in larger corrosion resistance that attributed directly to the decrease of corrosion current.
