TI - Strategies for the replacement of chromic acid anodising for the structural bonding of aluminium alloys KW - ALUMINIUM KW - SURFACE TREATMENT BY CHEMICAL SOLUTIONS KW - MICROSCOPY KW - DURABILITY N2 - The 40/50V Bengough-Stuart chromic acid anodise process is widely used in demanding applications as a prebond treatment. This process has a number of disadvantages and its replacement is the subject of much interest in the aerospace, automotive and defence sectors, amongst others. This paper details a number of modifications to the standard boric-sulphuric acid anodising (BSAA)process specifically to achieve satisfactory structural bond performance. These included: variations in the deoxidiser and anodising parameters; and the use of a post-anodising dip. It has been demonstrated in these studies that there are three possible methods of providing excellent durability using a variation of the standard BSAA process: the use of an electrolytic phosphoric acid deoxidiser; a high temperature anodise at 35 1C; and the use of a post-anodise phosphoric acid dip UR - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1c8OkYp0QYeiYHc63jjvkaq-T4-70zsvo/view?usp=drivesdk ER -
