Abstract:
Hard anodic oxide film grew on aluminum alloy 6061 in unconventional sulfuric acid concentration electrolyte containing 1%, 2%, 3%, 4% and 5%H
2SO
4 (Wt.%) with special apparatus.The results indicate that the surface roughness values and microhardness values of the anodic oxide film obviously decrease with the increase in acid concentration, and the size of pores in the anodic oxide film becomes large.Compared with the anodic oxide film at sulfuric acid concentration electrolyte containing 1% H
2SO
4 and 2% H
2SO
4, the anodic oxide film obtained in 3% H
2SO
4 sulfuric acid concentration electrolyte has fairly better-distributed homogeneous degree.However 3% H
2SO
4 sulfuric acid concentration electrolyte is suitable for the hard anodic oxidation process of aluminum alloy 6061.
