Abstract:

Th optimizes experimental process and parameters of three-dimensional anodic aluminum oxide (3D AAO) on 5N (99.999%) and 6061 aluminum alloy (AA6061) tubes were study by anodization. The purpose of research is to make a uniform, stable nanostructures, and high-quality 3D AAO for applications in biomedical, semiconductors, and energy. For the high-quality 3D AAO, the controlling parameters including an electrolyte composition, temperature, voltage, current density, and anodic time, film thickness, pore size, and uniformity. In this study, the electrolyte composition for 5 N Al of 3D AAO was used 3 wt.% oxalic acid (C2H2O4) solution and for AA6061 was used mix acids (5 vol.% H2SO4 + 6 vol.% C2H6O2 + 2.4 wt.% C2H2O4) solution as electrolytes. The AAO film can be controlled between 15 and 75µm. And the pore size can be controlled between 40 and 100 nm through pore expansion process using 5 wt.% phosphoric acid (H3PO4) solution.
