Anodizing of Aluminum
2Al + 3H2O → Al2O3 + 6H+ + 6e−
نظرة عامة
Anodizing grows a thick, porous aluminum oxide layer on aluminum surfaces by making the aluminum the anode in an acid electrolyte (typically 15–20% H₂SO₄). The oxide layer (5–25 μm for decorative, up to 150 μm for hard anodizing) provides corrosion resistance, wear resistance, and can absorb dyes for coloring.
