Notes:
The effects of anodization parameters, such as current density, electrolyte concentration, electrolyte temperature, and anodization time on the thickness and composition of the oxides formed on AISI 304L stainless steel anodized in H2SO4—K2Cr2O7 were studied by low energy electron induced x-ray spectroscopy (LEEIXS), glow discharge optical spectroscopy (GDOS), and inert ion sputter profiling in conjunction with Auger electron spectroscopy. The physical and chemical properties of these films were correlated with the results of mechanical tests performed on adhesively bonded structures of the anodized pieces in order to test the feasibility of anodization as a prebond treatment for stainless steel.Anodization in H2SO4—K2Cr2O7 produces a Cr(III) enriched 100 nm thick oxide film. The novel technique of LEEIXS was used to characterize the chemical state of chromium while the hydrogen content of the anodic oxide was determined by GDOS.
