Anodic oxidation treatment of commercially pure titanium was carried out at the voltages of 10, 30, 50 V in 0.5 M H2SO4 solution at the potentiodynamic-aging mode so as to obtain the effects of the anodic potential on the surface characteristic and corrosion resistance of the anodic oxide film. The influences of potential on the surface morphology, the roughness, the crystalline behavior, the chemical composition and the corrosion resistance of the anodic oxide films were investigated by using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), atomic force microscope (AFM), Raman spectrum, X-ray diffractometry (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), potentiodynamic polarization curves and electrode impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The results show that increasing anodic potential at the potentiodynamic-aging mode can significantly enhance thickness, flatness, crystallization, chemical stability, and corrosion resistance of anodic oxide film.
