摘要： •Energy consumed in anodization processes of 7075 and 7050 alloys were discussed.•Increasing energy consumed at step 2 plus step 3 increased pseudobomite formed in the sealed AAO films.•Pseudobomite formed at the e/f interface of AAO film produced micro pits readily to decrease Ecorr. AA7075 and AA7050 alloy bars were heat treated and prepared for different anodization treatments to obtain an anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) film with a thickness in the range 9–11μm. Subsequently, the samples were sealed in hot water. Potentiodynamic tests were conducted to obtain different Ecorr and Icorr values. Factors affecting the corrosion resistance of different samples are discussed in this paper. They include the energy consumed in Steps 2 and 3 during anodization and constituted oxide phases and bubbles formed in the AAO film. The anodized and sealed 7075 samples showed corrosion resistance superior to that of the 7050 samples. However, the 7075 alloy samples absorbed more hydrogen from their matrix compared with the 7050 alloy samples, causing them to develop lower fatigue strength at 1×107 life cycles. 出版者： Elsevier B.V 出版日期： 2015-10-01 出處： Applied Surface Science, 2015-10, Vol.351, p.997-1003 版權： 2015 Elsevier B.V. 識別號： ISSN: 0169-4332 識別號： EISSN: 1873-5584 識別號： DOI: 10.1016/j.apsusc.2015.06.030
