Abstract
The corrosion resistance of 2024-T3 aluminum alloy was improved by anodizing treatment in a mixed electrolyte containing 10% sulfuric acid, 5% boric acid and 2% phosphoric acid. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) technique was used to study the corrosion behavior of the anodized alloy. Using Tafel plot and salt spray techniques, it is revealed that the anodizing treatment of 2024-T3 aluminum alloy in sulfuric-boric-phosphoric acids provides better corrosion resistance and durability in comparison with the anodizing treatment in phosphoric acid or sulfuric-boric acids. This electrolyte can be a suitable alternative for chromate baths which are generally used in the anodizing of aluminum alloys.
