User chooses coating properties
Abstract
Anodizing technique allows independent selection of coating thermal emittance and solar absorption. Process has three phases: initial material processing, which prepares material and establishes initial values of emittance and absorption; anodizing with chromic acid solution, which determines final values; and material postprocessing. Stability tests show less than 15 percent coating degradation over 2,000 hour solar exposure.
