    This document provides an introduction to anodization of metals, specifically aluminum alloy 6061. It discusses how anodization oxidizes the metal's surface to form a protective oxide layer. For aluminum 6061 alloy, anodization is useful for imparting high corrosion and wear resistance due its porous oxide structure. The overview notes that the report will examine anodizing AA 6061 by varying process parameters and is divided into chapters discussing the introduction/background, literature review, and experimental methods and design.

    CHAPTER 1

    INTRODUCTION
    1.1 ANODIZATION
    The anodization process of metals has been used by industry to protect metal
    components from corrosion. During this electro-chemical process the surface
    chemistry of the metal is changed, via oxidation, to produce an anodic oxide
    layer that is thick enough to stifle further oxidation. Aluminum metal (Al),
    because of its high strength to weight ratio, has found numerous engineering
    applications. Two types of anodic Al oxide exist; the first is a non-porous
    barrier layer that is thin, hard, and wear resistant and behaves as an electrical
    insulator. The second, a thicker porous oxide structure, is called the anodic
    aluminum oxide (AAO) layer. This layer structure has a high aspect ratio and
    consists of a porous structure. In engineering applications, this pore structure
    must be sealed to prevent corrosion.
    1.2 AA 6061
    AA 6061 alloy are extremely useful in gas turbine, space vehicles, aircraft,
    nuclear reactors, submarine, petrochemical equipments. AA 6061 contains
    Silicon and Magnesium as the main constituting elements. The other elements
    of this alloy include Iron, Copper, Manganese, Chromium, and Zinc along with
    lesser amounts of Titanium. These alloys have good formability, weldability,
    machinability & corrosion resistance, with medium strength. Because of its
    excellent mechanical and metallurgical properties this alloy finds extensive use
    in gas turbines, rocket motors, spacecraft, and nuclear reactors. This material
    should possess high corrosion resistance and wear resistance which is not
    achieved by the natural oxide layer formed. Therefore, anodization is one of the
    most suitable method by which this can be achieved.
