Fabrication of Aluminum Using Casting Method Made for Anodizing Process on Biomaterial Applications

Abstract

One type of non ferrous material that has quite a number of applications is aluminum. In addition, this metal is quite easy to obtain and can be made in various ways and has good corrosion resistance. One method commonly used in producing aluminum is by casting. This method is quite often used because it can produce finished products in large quantities and high levels of product precision, especially by using permanent molds. This casting result will later be used as an anode in the anodizing process. Anodizing process is one of the electrochemical processes used to repair the aluminum surface by using an electrolyte solution applied to a certain voltage to obtain an oxide layer with characteristics. This anodizing process is starting to be widely used in the biomaterial realm and began to be applied with the use of aluminum oxide coating membranes in the bodies of living things.
