Stripping to determine Chromic Acid Anodizing thickness






Is there any method to check chromic acid anodizing thickness by stripping in laboratory? If yes, how can it be done?

Thanks for the help.

Hi Beren
This can be done by weighing your test panel to decimal places of a gram. then stripping in 20 m/v^2.0% m/v chromic acid, 3.5% v/v phosphoric acid at >97 deg C for 30 mins. Then rinsing and drying the panels before reweighing as before.
divide the change in weight by the surface area in the chosen units.
Hope this helps, good luck
