The process involves submerging a metal anode in an electrolyte solution while applying a DC voltage between the anode and a cathode. The electrolyte typically consists of acids like sulfuric, oxalic, or phosphoric acid. The voltage applied facilitates the migration of ions, leading to the growth of an oxide layer on the metal surface. The key parameters influencing the process include the type of electrolyte, voltage, temperature, and duration of anodization.
