Influence of isopropyl alcohol in sulfuric acid anodizing electrolyte on the formation kinetics and properties of anodic oxide films

Abstract

The purpose of this work is to study the effect of an organic additive (isopropyl alcohol) on the resulting anodic oxide films on aluminum alloys, to develop a new anodizing electrolyte, from which higher quality films will be obtained, with better properties compared to standard electrolytes.
