Abstract:

Light metals and alloys can form native oxide films on their surfaces that offer only limited protection to surface degradation. Anodising refers to electrochemical anodic oxide film formation; it is one of the most popular methods to increase wear- and corrosion-resistance of light alloys, especially under light loads. Anodic films are most commonly applied to protect aluminium alloys and are discussed here in detail; magnesium and titanium alloys can also be anodised, which is described at the end of this chapter. Anodised light alloys have been exploited in a wide range of industrial sectors such as automotive, ...
