Coatings anodic oxidation

Methacrylate polymers and copolymers employed to coat anodically oxidized and roughened aluminium sheets. The structures of the polymers are shown in Fig. 1... 

The second form consists of Pt metal but the iridium is present as iridium dioxide. Iridium metal may or may not be present, depending on the baking temperature (14). Titanium dioxide is present in amounts of only a few weight percent. The analysis of these coatings suggests that the platinum metal acts as a binder for the iridium oxide, which in turn acts as the electrocatalyst for chlorine discharge (14). In the case of thermally deposited platinum—iridium metal coatings, these may actually form an intermetallic. Both the electrocatalytic properties and wear rates are expected to differ for these two forms of platinum—iridium-coated anodes. 

Miscellaneous. Ruthenium dioxide-based thick-film resistors have been used as secondary thermometers below I K (92). Ruthenium dioxide-coated anodes ate the most widely used anode for chlorine production (93). Ruthenium(IV) oxide and other compounds ate used in the electronics industry as resistor material in apphcations where thick-film technology is used to print electrical circuits (94) (see Electronic materials). Ruthenium electroplate has similar properties to those of rhodium, but is much less expensive. Electrolytes used for mthenium electroplating (95) include [Ru2Clg(OH2)2N] Na2[Ru(N02)4(N0)0H] [13859-66-0] and (NH 2P uds(NO)] [13820-58-1], Several photocatalytic cycles that generate... 

Finishes for aluminum products can be both decorative and useful. Processes in use include anodic oxidation, chemical conversion coating, electrochemical graining, electroplating (qv), thin film deposition, porcelain enameling, and painting. Some alloys respond better than others to such treatments. 

It is a valve metal and when made anodic in a chloride-containing solution it forms an anodic oxide film of TiOj (rutile form), that thickens with an increase in voltage up to 8-12 V, when localised film breakdown occurs with subsequent pitting. The TiOj film has a high electrical resistivity, and this coupled with the fact that breakdown can occur at the e.m.f. s produced by the transformer rectifiers used in cathodic protection makes it unsuitable for use as an anode material. Nevertheless, it forms a most valuable substrate for platinum, which may be applied to titanium in the form of a thin coating. The composite anode is characterised by the fact that the titanium exposed at discontinuities is protected by the anodically formed dielectric Ti02 film. Platinised titanium therefore provides an economical method of utilising the inertness and electronic conductivity of platinum on a relatively inexpensive, yet inert substrate.

For this version, the micro structured AlMg3 platelets were coated with silver by CVD in [43], In [44], the platelets were either totally made of silver (as constmction material) or of AlMg3 and then coated by PVD with silver. In the latter version, two sub-versions were made with and without anodic oxidation to a generate nano-porous surface structure.
