Abstract: An aircraft thrust reverser inner wall and method of manufacturing the same. The aircraft thrust reverser inner wall may include a face sheet, a perforated back sheet, and a core sandwiched between the face sheet and the perforated back sheet. The face sheet may have an inner face sheet surface and an outer face sheet surface, and the core may have an inner core surface, an outer core surface, and a plurality of cell walls extending therebetween. An electro-depositable material may be applied, via electrodeposition, in a substantially continuous layer over the outer core surface, the cell walls, and the outer face sheet surface, thus bonding the face sheet and core together. The perforated back sheet may be attached to the core at the outer core surface, and a conductive coating may be applied to the inner face sheet surface.

Abstract: The process of anodizing aluminum or an aluminum alloy in an aqueous solution of about 60 g/L to about 100 g/L sulfuric acid and optionally about 0.1 g/L to about 10.7 g/L boric acid, maintained between a temperature of about 70° F. to about 90° F. An aluminum object is immersed in the acid bath, where it acts as an anode. A voltage of 6 V to 16 V is applied to the object at a current density, which varies with the alloy. The object is maintained in the anodizing conditions until an aluminum oxide coating is achieved with a weight of about 30 to about 800 mg/ft2.
