Effect of Process Parameters on Anodization of AA7075

Article Preview

Abstract:

The influence of the major process parameters for anodizing AA7075 is investigated to obtain an anodized layer with minimum porosity with approximately 15μm thickness. Anodization was carried out in a sulphuric acid bath with well-defined process parameters and the anodized layer thickness & Inter pore distance were measured for the chosen process parameter combinations. Porosity index was calculated and an optimized parameter combination was obtained. Voltage was found out to be most influencing parameter in the determination of porosity and thickness. In addition to this, surface finish of the non-anodized and anodized specimens was also compared. It was found out that surface finish of the specimen decreased after anodization. A statistical data model was prepared for thickness and porosity using the data obtained from experiments.
