<p>The process consists in submitting the surface layer of an electrolytically oxidizable metal to the action of an electrical field with a higher field intensity than the breakdown intensity during an anodizing step. Under such conditions, extremely intense energy exchanges occur in a region confined on the surface of the immersed article; the resulting physical and chemical processes cause, among others, any impurities to be nearly immediately removed, and a useful surface conditioning layer for subsequent processes to be produced. The process is particularly useful for high-speed treatment of bands of light alloy or other oxidizable materials.</p> |
