Abstract

The effect of the anodizing process parameters and the influence of β'(Mg 2 Si) phase on the appearance of the anodized AA6063 aluminum alloy have been investigated. It was found that β'(Mg 2 Si) phase was preferentially oxidized at low anodizing voltages and the selective oxidation of β'(Mg 2 Si) phase resulted in the development of a rough alloy/film interface and the incorporation of silicon into the porous anodic film, which led to the discoloration of the anodized alloy.
