Effects of Process Parameters on Hydrophobicity of Alumina Surfaces Fabricated by Hard Anodizing
Abstract:
In the present article, hard anodizing technique was used to prepare alumina films on aluminum alloy substrate. The change of the water contact angles on the surface of the as-anodized samples with the hard anodizing process parameters was studied. The wettability of the alumina films was reinforced by means of controlling the surface microstructure. The rough structures can trap a large amount of air and minimize the real contact area between surfaces and water droplets. The measurement of the wetting property showed that the water contact angle of the as-anodized samples increases from 82° to 130° with adjusting hard anodizing process parameters. In a word, the rough structure on the surface prepared by adjusting hard anodizing process parameters plays a vital role in the constructing of the stable hydrophobic surface on aluminum alloy.
