Alzac Process: First Stage (Brightening) Fluoboric acid, 2.5% Temperature, 85° F Voltage, 15-30 V Current density, 10-20 A/ft2 The polarized film is stripped in hot alkaline solution. Anodizing, as usual, in the sulfuric acid bath follows. Only superpurity alloys (99.95%) should be used. Polishing and brightening are obtained in concentrated acid-type solutions that feature greater stock removal and greater smoothing. Battelle Sulfuric acid, 4.7% Phosphoric acid, 75% Chromic acid, 6.5% Al3 + and Cr3 +, to 6% Current density, 150 A/ft2 Temperature, 175-180° Voltage, 10-15 V F Chromic acid decreases the etching rate, but changes from the hexavalent to trivalent form in use. Sulfuric acid drops the cell resistance or voltage, but increases the etching rate. Copper and Alloys R.W.
