Comparative study on the anodizing process of Ti and Zr and oxide morphology
Source abstract
Abstract
Abstract Metal anodizations have attracted much attention, but the formation mechanisms of the porous anodic oxides are still unclear. Compared with the Ti anodization, the anodization of Zr is relatively less studied. In order to compare the anodizing processes of Ti and Zr, a comparative study of Ti and Zr was carried out under the different voltages of anodizing process in the same mixed electrolyte of ammonium fluoride and phosphate acid. It was found that the structure and morphology of their nanotubes were very different. The anodizing curve of Ti showed a state of constant current. However, the anodizing curve of Zr did not show the state of constant current and ZrO2 nanotubes were still formed. This indicates that there is no equilibrium between oxide growth and dissolution in the anodization. TiO2 nanotubes show an orderly array of nanotubes, but ZrO2 nanotubes have three kinds of composite structures: nanoflower, nanotube and dense films. By comparing the great difference of current-time curves between the two anodizing processes, the composite structure of ZrO2 nanotubes are interpreted reasonably by combining electronic current theory and oxygen bubble mold.
