This study investigated the formation of oxide films on 6061 aluminum (Al) alloy and their impacts on corrosion resistance efficiency by regulating anodization voltage. Despite advantageous properties inherent to Al alloys, their susceptibility to corrosion remains a significant limitation. Thus, enhancing corrosion resistance through developing protective oxide films on alloy surfaces is paramount. The first anodization was performed for 6 h with an applied voltage of 30, 50, or 70 V on the 6061 Al alloy. The second anodization was performed for 0.5 h by applying 40 V after removing the existing oxide film. Resulting oxide film's shape and roughness were analyzed using field emission-scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). Wettability and corrosion resistance were compared before and after a self-assembled monolayer (SAM) using an FDTS (1H, 1H, 2H, 2H-Perfluorodecyltrichlorosilane) solution. As the first anodization voltage increased, the final oxide film's thickness and pore diameter also increased, resulting in higher surface roughness. Consequently, all samples exhibited superhydrophilic behavior before coating. However, contact angle after coating increased as the first anodization voltage increased. Notably, the sample anodized at 70 V with superhydrophobic characteristics after coating demonstrated the highest corrosion resistance performance.

초발수 $SiO_2$ 박막을 sol-gel법에 의해 유리 기판 위에 성공적으로 제조하였다. 높은 표면 조도를 갖는 $SiO_2$ 박막을 제조하기 위하여 tetraethoxysilane(TEOS) 용액에 $SiO_2$ 나노 입자들을 첨가하였다. $iO_2$ 입자를 첨가하지 않은 용액을 이용하여 제조한 코팅막은 RMS roughness가 1.27 nm의 매우 평평한 표면 구조를 나타낸 반면, $SiO_2$ 나노 입자들을 1.0, 2.0, 3.0 wt% 첨가한 용액을 이용하여 제조한 $SiO_2$ 박막의 RMS roughness는 44.10 nm, 69.58 nm, 80.66 nm로 측정되었다. 제조된 $SiO_2$ 박막의 표면을 소수성 표면으로 바꾸기 위하여 FAS 용액을 이용하여 발수 처리를 하였다. FAS 처리 이후 거친 표면구조를 갖는 $SiO_2$ 박막의 표면은 친수성에서 소수성으로 바뀌었고 특히, 80.66 nm의 RMS roughness를 갖는 박막은 $163^{\circ}$의 물 접촉각을 갖는 초발수 표면을 나타내었다.
