Effect of electrolyte composition on porous anodic aluminium oxide formation

The effect of composite anodizing electrolyte with reduced content of organic acids on the formation rate, structure and properties of aluminium oxide film was studied. It is established that for the production of electronic devices structural parts of improved insulation properties it is preferable to use the solutions where less active citric acid predominates. It has been shown that kinetic retardation of specified anodic process of aluminium oxidation increases the density of barrier oxide while preserving the rate of main porous Al[2]O[3] layer growth
