Surface modification technique enabling the control of condensation provides various benefit in various engineering systems, such as heat transfer, desalination, power plants, and so on. In this study, lubricant oil-impregnation into Teflon-coated nanoporous anodic oxide layer of aluminum to enhance a de-wetting and mobility of water droplet on surface. Due to the surface treatment improving water-repellency, the condensation mode is changed to dropwise, thus the frequency of sliding condensed water droplet on surface is increased. For these reasons, the surface of oil-impregnated Teflon-coated nanoporous anodic aluminum oxide shows significantly enhanced condensation heat transfer compared to bare aluminum surface. In addition, the porosity of anodic aluminum oxide affected the mobility of water droplet even with oil-impregnation and Teflon-coating, indicating that the optimization of porous structure of anodic oxide is required for maximizing the condensation heat transfer.

The combined process of porous type anodizing and desiccation treatment was applied to improve wettability of A1050 aluminum alloy. The water contact angles of anodized samples were increaseds considerably with desiccation treatment. However, there was no considerable effect of polishing and anodizing time on water contact angle. The corrosion behavior with the treatments was investigated electrochemically. The corrosion resistance of the samples in 3.5 mass% NaCl solutions increased with higher contact angle. Anodized and desiccated samples showed better corrosion resistance than un-desiccated samples around rest potential region.

The commercialization of aluminum had been delayed than other metals because of its high oxygen affinity. Anodizing is a process in which oxide film is formed on the surface of a valve metal in an electrolyte solution by anodic oxidation reaction. Aluminum has thin oxide film on surface but the oxide film is inhomogeneous having a thickness only in the range of several nanometers. Anodizing process increases the thickness of the oxide film significantly. In this study, porous type oxide film was produced on the surface of aluminum in sulfuric acid as a function of electrolyte temperature, and the optimum condition were determined for anodizing film to exhibit excellent cavitation resistance in seawater environment. The result revealed that the oxide film formed at $10^{\circ}C$ represented the highest cavitation resistance, while the oxide film formed at $15^{\circ}C$ showed the lowest resistance to cavitation in spite of its high hardness.

In this study, in order to increase surface ability of hardness and corrosion of magnesium alloy, anodizing and sealing with nano-diamond powder was conducted. A porous oxide layer on the magnesium alloy was successfully made at $85^{\circ}C$ through anodizing. It was found to be significantly more difficult to make a porous oxide layer in the magnesium alloy compared to an aluminum alloy. The oxide layer made below $73^{\circ}C$ by anodizing had no porous layer. The electrolyte used in this study is DOW 17 solution. The surface morphology of the magnesium oxide layer was investigated by a scanning electron microscope. The pores made by anodizing were sealed by water and aqueous nano-diamond powder respectively. The hardness and corrosion resistance of the magnesium alloy was increased by the anodizing and sealing treatment with nano-diamond powder.

Porous anodic alumina has been used widely for corrosion protection of aluminum surfaces or as dielectric material in micro-electronics applications. It exhibits a homogeneous morphology of parallel pores which can easily be controlled between 10 and 400nm. It has been applied as a template for fabrication of the nanometer-scale composite. In this study, mechanical properties of the AAO structures are measured by the nano indentation method. Nano indentation technique is one of the most effective methods to measure the mechanical properties of nano-structures. Basically, hardness and elastic modulus can be obtained by the nano-indentation. Using the nano-indentation method, we investigated the mechanical properties of the AAO structure with different size of nano-holes. In results, we find the hole effect that changes the mechanical properties as size of nano hole.

Anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) nanotemplates for nano electronic device applications have been attracting increasing interest because of ease of fabrication, low cost process, and possible fabrication in large area. The size and density of the nanostructured materials can be controlled by changing the pore diameter and the pole density of AAO nanotemplate. In this paper, nano porous alumina films AAO nanotemplate was fabricated by second anodization method using sputterd Al films. In addition, effects of electrolyte temperature and anodization voltate on the microstructure of porous alumina films were investigated. As the electrolyte temperature was increased from $8^{\circ}C$ to $20^{\circ}C$, the growth rate of nanoporous alumina films was increased from 86.2 nm/min to 179.5 nm/min. The AAO nanotemplate fabricated with optimal condition had the mean pore diameter of 70 nm and the pore depth of $1\;{\mu}m$.

Aluminum alloy is used by adding various elements according to the needs of the industry. Aluminum alloys such as 5052 and 6061 are known to possess excellent corrosion resistance by adding Mg. Despite their excellent physical properties, corrosion can occur. To solve this problem, an anodization technique generally can improve corrosion resistance by forming an oxide structure with maximized hydrophobic properties through coatings. In this study, the anodizing technique was used to improve the hydrophobicity of aluminum 5052 and 6061 by creating porous nanostructures on top of the surface. An oxide film was formed by applying anodizing voltages of 20, 40, 60, 80, and 100 V to aluminum alloys followed by immersion in 0.1 M phosphoric acid for 30 minutes to expand oxide pores. Contact angle and corrosion characteristics were different according to the structure after anodization. For the 5052 aluminum, the corrosion potential was improved from -363 mV to -154 mV as the contact angle increased from 116° to 136°. For the 6061 aluminum, the corrosion potential improved from -399 mV to -124 mV when the contact angle increased from 116° to 134°.

The magnetic properties of electrodeposited iron and cobalt films on porous aluminum oxide film were examined. There exists perpendicular magnetic anisotropy due to the shape anisotropy. The coercivity and squareness ratio of films were strongly dependent on deposited particle diameter. The effect of packing fraction on squareness ratio was also apprecible. Unlike the iron-deposited films, the magnetic properties of cobalt films were changed by preferred orientation because of it's large crystal ansotropy constant.(about 10 times of Fe) The Fe deposited films were found to be more suitable for perpendicular magenetic recording media bacause perpendicular coercivity, squareness ratio and the ratio of perpendicular coercivity to horizontal ones of iron films are greater than those of cobalt films.
