Abstract
Anodization technology allows for the rapid and controlled preparation of specified regular nanostructures on the surface of metal. During anodization, the metal ions migrating outward and the oxygen ions provided by the electrolyte form oxides at the metal/electrolyte interface, and the migration rate of different kinds of metal ions is different, which leads to the complex mechanism of the anodization of alloys. This work focused on the mechanism of the anodization of alloys, and studied the effects of hydroxide ions in electrolyte and applied voltage on the reactivity of different components of brass. It was obtained that low voltage favors the migration of Zn and high KOH concentration favors the dissolution of the anodic products of Cu, so that an alloy with Zn content of 16.05% was obtained when a voltage of 40 V was applied, and when a voltage of 60 V was applied, the alloy with Cu content of 13.34% was obtained in 0.4 M KOH solution.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Materials Science publishes reviews, full-length papers, and short Communications recording original research results on, or techniques for studying the relationship between structure, properties, and uses of materials. The subjects are seen from international and interdisciplinary perspectives covering areas including metals, ceramics, glasses, polymers, electrical materials, composite materials, fibers, nanostructured materials, nanocomposites, and biological and biomedical materials. The Journal of Materials Science is now firmly established as the leading source of primary communication for scientists investigating the structure and properties of all engineering materials.
