Which consequence results when the temperature coefficient, α, is too low during a constant-current anodization of aluminum?

💡 Explanation

A low temperature coefficient results in less heat dissipation, decreasing the oxide formation rate via ion transport because field-enhanced diffusion is lower. This reduced diffusion ultimately limits the final film thickness, therefore less thick film is formed, rather than stronger films or faster consumption.
