Question
Write scientific reason.
Anodization method is useful for prevention of the corrosion of the aluminium.
Advertisements
Solution
- The process of coating metals such as aluminium and copper with a thin and strong layer of their oxides by electrolysis is called anodizing process.
- When aluminium is anodized, a thin layer of aluminium oxide is formed all over the surface. This restricts the contact of aluminium metal with oxygen and water and prevents corrosion of aluminium.
Hence, anodization method is useful for prevention of the corrosion of the aluminium.
