Abstract
The chemical dissolution—in 0.1 M solutions of phosphoric, malonic, citric, sulfosalicylic, and tartaric acids and 0.6 M solutions of sulfuric, oxalic, malonic, phosphoric, tartaric, and citric acids—of aluminum (Al) and its barrier anodic oxide, with thicknesses of 240 and 350 nm, produced during the anodization of Al deposited on a sitall substrate and Al foil, respectively, in a 1% citric acid aqueous solution, was investigated. Signs of chemical dissolution for 0.1 M phosphoric acid solution and 0.6 M concentrations of all the listed solutions were found. It was shown that the dissolution rate and the nature of its change depend on the acid nature, the state of the sample surface, and the classification of the electrolytes according to their degrees of aggressiveness with respect to aluminum.
Highlights
The properties of metal oxides and their behavior in various environments are the subject of consideration of both large review articles [1,2] and numerous publications in scientific periodicals.The research of the behavior of aluminum and its anodic oxide (AOA) in various environments is of great practical importance, since aluminum is used as a structural material and its corrosion resistance is substantially important [3,4]; aluminum has long been used for the manufacture of electrolytic capacitors [5] and the production of microelectronic products [6,7]
It should be noted that a slight dissolution of aluminum and especially barrier anodic oxide on aluminum (BAOA) in most 0.1 M acid solutions made the research impossible to continue in dilute solutions for two reasons
From the results of research on chemical dissolution—in 0.1 M solutions of phosphoric (PA), malonic (MA), citric (CA), sulfosalicylic (SSA), and tartaric (TA) acids and 0.6 M solutions of sulfuric (SA) and oxalic (OA) acids and MA, PA, TA, and CA—of aluminum and its barrier anodic oxide (BAOA), with thicknesses of 240 and 350 nm, produced during the anodization of Al deposited on a sitall substrate and Al foil, respectively, in a 1% CA aqueous solution, the following was established: a
Summary
The research of the behavior of aluminum and its anodic oxide (AOA) in various environments is of great practical importance, since aluminum is used as a structural material and its corrosion resistance is substantially important [3,4]; aluminum has long been used for the manufacture of electrolytic (oxide) capacitors [5] and the production of microelectronic products [6,7]. The processes are studied, and methods of the electrochemical dissolution of barrier anodic oxide on aluminum (BAOA) in the composition of por-AOA (porous anodic oxide on aluminum) [8,9] are developed. Investigations of the aluminum dissolution during anodization in combination with other results, supplementing the data on the processes of AOA nucleation and development [16,17,18], are of fundamental importance and have not yet been fully resolved
