Anodization system

Picture


SMF has build a anodization system capable of performing either galvanostatic or potentiostatic  anodization procedures, that allow us to control the process and produce self-organized materials such as porous anodic tantalum or growth protective coatings on metals. 
The system is couple with a DC Power supply (Agilent N5751A DC Power supply), a digit multimeter (Agilent 34450A 5 1/2 Digit Multimeter), a polypropylene anodization cell and a stir plate to homogenize the electrolyte solution. The anodization process can be controlled manually or with a "designed" software to acquire the data.

System specifications:

- Agilent N5751A DC Power supply
Current range: 0.013 - 2.500 A
Voltage range: 0.750 - 300.0 V

- Agilent 34450A 5 1/2 Digit Multimeter
Current range: 100.000 microA - 10.0000 A
Voltage range: 100.000 mV - 1000.00 V

- Temperature range: 15-150ºC

- Common electrolytes: Sulfuric acid (H2SO4), Hydrofluoric acid (HF), Phosphoric acid (H3PO4) and Chromic acid (H2CrO4)
