Abstract
Aluminum (Al) is a lightweight, thermally high conductive, reflective and non-toxic metal that can be easily machined. However, weak corrosion and wear resistant of Al, comparing to other metals are limited to apply it to a heat transfer plate. In order to overcome these drawbacks, anodic oxidation method has been applied to produce anodic Al oxide (AAO) and then the AAO sheet is then immersed into the nano-hybrid solution. The properties of obtained samples were evaluated. It was found that the modified Al anodizing one could produce a hard oxide coating with good corrosion protection and thermal conductivity.
