Abstract

Oxide films obtained during anodization of Ti‒40% Al sintered powder samples in fluorine-containing electrolytes are investigated. With scanning electron microscopy and X-ray phase analysis, it is demonstrated that an X-ray amorphous nanoporous anodic oxide film is formed on the surface of the powder microparticles under optimal anodization conditions. After annealing at T = 1093 K in air and vacuum (10‒2 Pa), the oxide films are revealed to crystallize with its regular porous structure retained. The composition of the polycrystalline anodic-oxide films annealed in air is a mixture involving TiO2 (anatase and rutile) and α- and γ-Al2O3 phases and Ti2O3 and Al2TiO5 traces. The vacuum annealing process makes it possible to identify TiO2, in which anatase is the main phase, α- and γ-Al2O3, and Ti2O3 and TiO traces. However, rutile is not revealed. The presented results indicate that the application of the anodic nanostructuring of Ti‒40% Al powders is promising for the obtainment of new photocatalytic active nanomaterials.
