Hard anodizing has proven to be a helpful surface treatment for aluminium alloy and typically accompanied by the growth of a porous and highly flawed oxide layer. The presence of pores on the oxide surface can be taken as an advantage in improving the surface properties. Fly-ash particles are high i...
