Composite oxide films containing graphite were fabricated using the anodizing technique on AA2017- T4 aluminum alloy in diluted sulfuric acid (20 wt%). This study aims to evaluate the effect of graphite on the film growth and investigate its impact on the self-lubricating ability and durability of t...
