## Abstract Optical microscopy (OM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and analytical transmission electron microscopy (AEM) were used to characterise anocid films on aluminium. Of special interest in our investigations was to study the dependence of the microstructure of the films on the current

## Aluminium specimens were anodized galvanostatically in a thermostated and vigorously stirred bath of H,SO, 15% w/v at different bath temperatures and current densities and for long anodization times, suflicient to produce the maximum or near maximum limiting film thickness, and the anodic poten
The rate of nucleation of the anodic oxide film on bismuth in 0.1 M NaOH is limited hy electrochemical reaction at the uncovered metal surface or surface diffusion to the periphery of a spreading oxide patch, not by incorporation into the growing lattice. Anodic oxide layers grown on bismuth consist
The mechanism of growth of porous anodic AI,O, films at various bath temperatures, current densities and H,SO, concentrations was studled for tiims produced in a vigorously stirred bath at anodization times higher than those at which the maximum pore diameter behind or at film surface approaches fir
