Abstract

Abstract Chromic acid (CA) anodization of Ti-6A1-4V (6% Al, 4% V by weight) produced an anodic oxide on the alloy surface. The influence of specific CA anodization conditions upon anodic oxide thickness was determined. Each CA anodization condition tested was defined by setting five variables: (1) solution composition; (2) anodization time; (3) solution temperature; (4) initial current density; and, (5) anodization potential. The results confirmed observations by previous workers about oxide thickness and structure. Data indicated an inverse relationship between film thickness and temperature, and that film growth rate decreases with time.
