A chemical vapor deposition (CVD) aluminum plating process has been developed that will produce coatings that can be anodized to 500 volts. Test results of the anodized coating are comparable to similar data taken for a solid barrier anodized 6061 aluminum alloy part. The best coating conditions for the alkyl-unrecycled TIBAL are as follows: temperature, 260 ±5°C; spray pressure, 345 ±35 kPa; and time, 2 to 3 hours.
