Abstract

A method to measure interfacial mechanical properties at high temperatures and in a controlled atmosphere has been developed to study anodized aluminum surface coatings at temperatures where the interior aluminum alloy is molten. This is the first time that the coating strength has been studied under these conditions. In this study, we have investigated the effects of ambient atmosphere, temperature, and surface finish on coating strength for samples of aluminum alloy 7075. Surprisingly, the effective Young's modulus or strength of the coating when tested in air was twice as high as when samples were tested in an inert nitrogen or argon atmosphere. Additionally, the effective Young's modulus of the anodized coating increased with temperature in an air atmosphere but was independent of temperature in an inert atmosphere. The effect of surface finish was also examined. Sandblasting the surface prior to anodization was found to increase the strength of the anodized coating with the greatest enhancement noted for a nitrogen atmosphere. Lastly, machining marks were not found to significantly affect the strength.

The results are of general interest since the method used is limited only by the validity of the interatomic potential assummed. Cross sections for the displacement of lattice atoms by gamma rays up to 5 Mev were calculated. A theoretical study was made of the slowing down process for a primary displaced atom in a solid.

Evaluation of process parameters used in the non-aqueous anodization of aluminum alloys

Technical Report Panitz, J K.G. ; Sharp, D J ; Peterson, D E

The effects are evaluated for systematic variations in high voltage anodization process parameters including electrolyte temperature, resistivity, and anodic current density. Samples of two types of aluminum alloy; 1100, and 6061-T6, with two types of surface texture, were anodized. The electrolyte consisted of a non-aqueous solution of ammonium tartrate and ethanol. Properties of the resultant coatings evaluated included anodic oxide growth rate, thickness, density, morphology, entrained impurities, capacitance, dissipation factor, breakdown strength, defect probability, and leakage current.
Durable, Impermeable Brazes for Solid Oxide Fuel Cells (Final Report)

Technical Report Nicholas, Jason D. ; Qi, Yue ; Bieler, Thomas R.

To develop a new braze to replace the current state-of-the-art Ag-CuO reactive air braze (RAB), two approaches were proposed: 1) development of a new, self-passivating, silver-free braze and 2) development of a CuO-free, silver-based braze. For the first approach, an integrated computational-experimental method was used. Thermo-Calc® was utilized to quickly screen through hundreds of alloy systems to identify candidate braze compositions with the appropriate melting ranges. Material compositions, melting ranges, mechanical properties, oxidation resistance, and wetting characteristics of the candidate alloys were then analyzed experimentally. Substrate surface pre-treatments, active element additions, and novel brazing schemes were also investigated. Unfortunately, themore »« less

The effect of different aluminum alloy surface compositions on barrier anodic film formation

Journal Article Panitz, J K.G. ; Sharp, D J - J. Electrochem. Soc.; (United States)

The authors have grown barrier anodic coatings on samples of aluminum alloy with different elemental surface compositions. In one series of experiments, they characterized the surface composition present on 6061 aluminum alloy samples after different chemical treatments including a detergent-water and methyl-ethyl ketone solvent clean, a 50% nitric acid-water etch, and a concentrated nitric acid-ammonium bifluoride etch. They anodized samples which were prepared similarly to those analyzed to evaluate the practical effects of the three different surface compositions. The anodization voltage rise time to 950V at constant current was used as a figure of merit. The solvent cleaned and themore »« less

Micro arc oxidation of aluminum for nuclear applications

Conference Abir, H. ; Dag, I. ; Pivnik, A. ; ...

Dry cask storage and transport of used (spent) nuclear fuel rely upon the basket and shell of the cask to transfer the decay heat from the fuel assemblies. Cask licensees have considered the use of light metal (aluminum) oxidation to enhance the emissivity of aluminum alloy or aluminum based Metal Matrix Composites (MMC) used in the cask basket. However, traditional anodization techniques suffer from issues that make fabrication and regulatory acceptance problematic. The Micro Arc Oxidation (MAO) technology overcomes the problems associated with traditional anodization in the production of consistent, uniform and reliable high emissivity coatings of aluminum alloys.
