Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 2
Claim 1
Independent Claim
130 words
A METHOD OF ANODIZING A SURFACE AN ANODE COMPOSED OF ALUMINUM WHICH COMPRISES: INTRODUCING SAID ANODE INTO AN ACIDIC ELECTROLYTIC ANODIZING LIQUID BATH IN A MANNER MAINTAINING A PREDETERMINED SURFACE AREA OF SAID ANODE IN ACTIVE CONTACT WITH SAID BATH; PASSING AN ELECTRIC CURRENT FROM SAI ANODE THROUGH THE BATH AT A PREDETERMINED RATE TO MAINTAIN A HIGH ANODIZING CURRENT DENSITY OVER SAID ACTIVE SURFACE AREA; CONDITIONING THE BATH TO MAINTAIN ITS TEMPERATURE BELOW A VALUE AT WHICH SUBSTANTIAL DISSOLUTION OF ALUMINUM FROM SAID ACTIVE SURFACE AREA OCCURS; AND MAINTAINING A TEMPERATURE DIFFERENTIAL OF AT LEAST 10*F. BETWEEN SAID ANODE AND SAID BATH BY CONTINUOUSLY ENGAGING ANOTHER SURFACE OF SAID ANODE IN HEAT EXCHANGE RELATIONSHIP WITH A CONDITIONING SURFACE WHILE SAID PREDETERMINED ANODE SURFACE IS SUBJECTED TO SAID ANODIZING CURRENT.
