Anodic alumina films formed in sulfamic acid solution

The formation of anodic oxide films on aluminium in 5% aqueous solution of sulfamic acid is investigated. The investigations were carried out in galvanostatic conditions and at different temperatures and durations. The porosity of porous alumina samples grown under different conditions is determined by the pore-filling method and scanning electron microscopy. The effect of the current density, temperature and duration of the anodic oxidation on the morphology of the porous Al2O3-films is studied.

Studies on the porosity of porous alumina films, grown under different conditions in sulfamic acid aqueous solutions, are performed by the pore-filling method and scanning electron microscopy. A satisfactory coincidence between the data from reanodization and these from SEM is obtained.Figure optionsDownload as PowerPoint slide
