The Effect of TVAC Cycles on Physical Properties and Morphology of Alumina Coated AA7075 via Hard Anodization and Pulsed Laser Deposition: A Comparative Study for Space Applications
Abstract. Aluminium alloys used in space structural applications are exposed to extreme environmental conditions. To preserve the integrity of structural materials in such environments, various surface treatments have been developed with the goal of forming thin films of hard oxides. Traditionally, the standard surface...
