Porous AAO is formed by electrochemical oxidation (anodization) of aluminum in acid electrolytes in the conditions that balance the growth and the AAO films are formed with limited thickness. Anodizing aluminum has been widely used since early last century for corrosion protection and decorative purposes.
Aluminium anodizing (eloxal or Electrolytic Oxidation of Aluminium) [12] is usually performed in an acidic solution, typically sulphuric acid or chromic acid, which slowly dissolves the aluminium oxide. The acid action is balanced with the oxidation rate to form a coating with nanopores, 10–150 nm in diameter. [6]
A current passes from the anode, where metal on the surface is oxidised and dissolved in the electrolyte, to the cathode. At the cathode, a reduction reaction occurs, which normally produces hydrogen. Electrolytes used for electropolishing are most often concentrated acid solutions such as mixtures of sulfuric acid and phosphoric acid.
Along with alkaline cyanide, acid copper baths are among the most commonly-used copper plating electrolytes, [10] with industrial applications that include decorative plating, electroforming, rotogravure, and printed circuit board and semiconductor fabrication. [6] [11] Acid sulfate baths contain cupric sulfate as the source of copper(II) ions ...
Electrogalvanizing is a process in which a layer of zinc is bonded to steel to protect against corrosion, enhance adhesion, or give an aesthetic appeal.The process involves electroplating, running a current of electricity through a saline-/zinc-based electrolytic solution with a zinc anode and steel cathode.

The layer is strongly adherent to the metal surface, and it will regrow quickly if scratched off. In conventional anodizing, this layer of oxide is grown on the surface of the metal by the application of electrical potential, while the part is immersed in an acidic electrolyte. In plasma electrolytic oxidation, higher potentials are applied ...
A high-purity (≥99.9998%) aluminium bar that has been etched to reveal the component crystallites. Chemical milling or industrial etching is the subtractive manufacturing process of using baths of temperature-regulated etching chemicals to remove material to create an object with the desired shape.
