Abstract

Anodization techniques are widely used in the area of surface treatment of aluminum alloys because of its simplicity, low-cost and good corrosion resistance. In this study, we investigated the relationship between the properties (porosity and thickness) of anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) and its corrosion behavior. Aluminum 5052 alloy was anodized in 0.3 M oxalic acid at $0^{\circ}C$. The anodizing of aluminum 5052 was performed at 20 V, 40 V and 60 V for various durations. The corrosion behavior was studied in 3.5 wt % NaCl using potentiodynamic polarization method. Results showed that the pore diameter and thickness increased as voltage and anodization time increased. The relatively thick oxide film revealed a lower corrosion current density and a higher corrosion potential value.
