Abstract

The present work examined the morphology of anodic oxide layers on Ti substrates with different microstructures. The microstructures were varied by the heat-treatment or accumulative roll-bonding (ARB) process. Tubular oxide layers were formed on all Ti substrates by anodization, but the thickness of the layers was changed. The thickness of oxide layer formed on heat-treated substrates decreased with increasing heat-treatment temperature and duration. On the other hand, ARB process resulted in the increase of the thickness. Therefore, the microstructures affected the growth of tubular anodic oxide layers.
