Dr Reynier Revilla (Vrije Universiteit Brussel)23/11/2018, 09:50PostprocessingOral PresentationAnodizing is the most common electrochemical surface treatment applied to aluminium and its alloys for protection against corrosion. Due to the special conditions during the metal additive manufacturing process, the formation of unique microstructures with fine internal phase distributions can be achieved. These microstructures have been shown to have a considerable influence on the corrosion...Go to contribution page
