Citric Acid as an Alternative to Sulfuric Acid for the Hard-Anodizing of AA6061
Hard-anodized is a widely used method in the aeronautical sector to improve aluminum alloys abrasion and corrosion resistance. Aim of this work was to characterize the mechanical properties and resistance hard-anodized aluminum 6061 in citric acid solution as a replacement sulfuric acid solution wer...
