A PROCESS FOR THE PREPARATION OF CORROSION RESISTANCE SEALED ANODIZED COATINGS ON ALUMINUM ALLOY
Development of an alternative process to conventional toxic chromic acid anodization (CAA) with equivalent corrosion resistance is a challenging task. The present invention provides a chromate free process for the manufacture of corrosion resistant sealed anodized coating for long term corrosion resistance of aerospace grade aluminum alloy. This method includes the steps of cleaning, chemical etching, anodizing in Tartaric-Sulphuric acid electrolyte followed by dipping the specimen in the sealing bath containing at least two water soluble either Mn and Mo or Mn and V oxyanions as corrosion inhibitors and a sufficient amount of alkali metal ion based nitrates at a temperature range between 60 and 80° C. for about 20 to 40 minutes at a pH range of 7 to 9. The sealed anodic coatings developed from this invention showed improved corrosion resistance in neutral 5% NaCl fog environment for greater than 2000 h of exposure. The sealed anodic coatings developed by this invention also showed self-healing protection in NaCl environment.

SELF-HEALING ANTI-ICING ALUMINUM CONDUCTOR STEEL-REINFORCED WITH COMPOSITE MICROPOROUS STRUCTURE AND PREPARATION METHOD THEREOF
The present invention provides a self-healing anti-icing ACSR with composite microporous structure, which is formed lower layer pores with a small diameter (durable storage remediator) and upper layer pores with a large diameter (increase a proportion of air cushion to improve anti-icing performance) by growing a uniform porous aluminum membrane on the surface of an aluminum base body. By optimizing the diameter and thickness of the lower layer pores and upper layer pores, and under the action of air pressure, capillary force and surface energy, a low surface energy remediator is immersed in pores, so an anti-icing ACSR with durable excellent anti-icing self-healing performance is prepared. The invention improves the anti-icing performance of the ACSR in practical applications and the self-healing of the anti-icing performance after being damaged, thereby extending the anti-icing life of the ACSR and improving the durable anti-icing performance thereof.
METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING EXTRUDED MATERIAL OF ALUMINUM-CARBON NANOTUBE COMPOSITE WITH IMPROVED CORROSION RESISTANCE AND EXTRUDED MATERIAL OF ALUMINUM-CARBON NANOTUBE COMPOSITE MANUFACTURED THEREBY
A method of manufacturing an extruded material of carbon nanotube reinforced aluminum matrix composite having improved corrosion resistance, and the extruded material manufactured thereby are proposed. The method may include manufacturing an extruded material comprising an aluminum-carbon nanotube composite material and forming a hard oxide film on the surface of the extruded material by anodizing the extruded material in a mixed solution of sulfuric acid and oxalic acid. The method can form a hard oxide film with excellent corrosion resistance, abrasion resistance, and insulation properties on the surface of a composite material (an extruded material of carbon nanotube reinforced aluminum matrix composite material), which is known to be difficult to conduct hard anodizing due to the difference in corrosion characteristics between materials and, accordingly, the usability of the composite material can be significantly improved.
