Influences of small amounts of various anions added to distilled water on sealing effects were studied by impedance test, dyeing test, and Kape test, and also examined by electron microscope and electron diffraction.
The anions used in these studies were PO4---, SO4--, F-NO3-and Cl-as acids, P2O7---, PO4---, SO4--, SiO3--, Cr2O7--, and Cl-as Na salts, and OH-as NaOH, KOH, and NH4OH.
Aluminum specimens, which had been anodized in sulfuric acid, was sealed for 20 min. in boiling distilled water containing a small amount of each anion.
The results obtained were as follows:
(1) PO4--- and SiO3-- gave the most harmful effects on sealing of anodic oxide films and inhibited the böhmite reaction by strong specific adsorption by the proton space charge of anodic oxide films.
(2) OH- strongly promoted the böhmite reaction which was proved by the examination with electron microscope and by electron diffraction.
