Effect of Process Variables on the Formation of Streak Defects on Anodized Aluminum Extrusions: An Overview

Streak defects are often present on anodized extrusions of 6xxx series aluminum alloys, increasing the fabrication cost of these products. Moreover, streaking often only becomes visible after etching and anodizing treatments, rather than in the as-extruded condition, making it difficult to identify...
