"T-WEAR 20-21" T-WEAR - DEVELOPMENT OF ADVANCED ANODIC LAYERS RESISTANT TO WEAR UNDER HIGH TEMPERATURE. DESCRIPTION The purpose of the T-WEAR project is to develop advanced anodic layers to strengthen resistance to wear at high temperature by ordering pore growth through pulsating currents, a technique that proposes the use of a high current combined with a low current, applying pulses, allowing two dissolution mechanisms to occur, a layer-forming solution and a chemical solution, thereby benefiting a nanostructuring of the anodic layer. OBJECTIVES The main objective of the project is the development of structural and ordered anodic layers, with improved properties compared to conventional ones through the use of pulsating current. Application of a pulsed current, using two potential values, one high and one low, for very short periods of time, giving the aluminum surface time to recover during the period of low current density. Research lines in recent years are aimed at improving the properties of anodic layers, by improving the conditions in the generation of anodic layers, improvements based on modifications of electrolytes (concentrations and mixtures of acids), improvements in the electrolysis process going from direct current from one stage to two stages, or to pulsating current, improvements in working parameters (temperature, current density, agitation), as well as improvements in the sealing process. Project Number: 22000058 Grant Agreement: IMDEEA / 2020/31 Duration: From 01/07/2020 to 30/09/2021 Coordinated in AIDIMME by: NIÑEROLA GONZALEZ, RUBEN R&D Line: MODIFIED SURFACES RESULTS OBTAINED Year 2021: Deliverable 6.1. Final report of global results. Deliverables:    Year 2021: The most notable results of the investigation are listed schematically. 1. Regarding the morphology of the pulse curves, slower pulses give better results, greater thicknesses, in what seems to correspond applying the relationship i2 = i1 * 0,25. 2. The surface morphology presents a series of depressions, under which the anodizing cells are homogeneously distributed. 3. The anodizing cells generally have sizes corresponding to values ​​of 120-170 nm, the porosity of the pore being comprised in a size of 30% of the size of the cell. 4. The scratch test shows an improvement in the pulsed samples over the conventional anodizing layer. 5. Despite increasing ambient temperature, the friction coefficient maintains a certain homogeneity PUBLISHED NEWS general broadcast https://actualidad.aidimme.es/2021/09/08/difusion-y-tran (...) https://actualidad.aidimme.es/2021/06/02/reuniones-para- (...) https://actualidad.aidimme.es/2020/07/16/aidimme-nuevos- (...) https://actualidad.aidimme.es/2020/12/30/especial-difusi (...)
