Chromic acid anodizing has been used for almost a century to enhance corrosion protection of aerospace alloys. For some applications, hydrothermal sealing in hexavalent chromium-containing solution is required to enhance further the corrosion resistance but, due to environmental concerns, the use of hexavalent chromium must be discontinued. Good progress has been made to replace chromates during anodizing but comparatively less effort has focused on the sealing process. In this work, for the first time, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) has been used to characterize in-situ the sealing processes occurring during hot water sealing, sodium chromate sealing and cerium sealing. The results suggest that the processes occurring during sodium chromate sealing are significantly different compared to hot water and cerium sealing. In particular, during chromate sealing, the porous skeleton is significantly attacked, suggesting that the anticorrosion performance is likely to arise from the residuals of chromate rather than from the improvement of the barrier properties. In contrast, during hot water sealing, little attack occurs on the porous skeleton, and the improved corrosion protection is due to the enhanced barrier effect. During cerium sealing, precipitation of cerium products occurs, providing an inhibitor reservoir, and little, if any, attack occurs on the pre-existing oxide. (C) The Author(s) 2016.
