The present invention provides a method for easily and effectively removing adsorbed water molecules from an anodized surface using low intensity ultraviolet (UV) radiation. The present invention also provides a method for sealing an anodized aluminum surface which does not result in hazardous byproducts. The method involves, in vacuum: (1) vaporizing a selected precursor fluid; (2) condensing a flux of said precursor vapor onto the anodized aluminum surface; and, (3) bombarding said condensed precursor vapor with an energetic beam of ions to convert the porous anodized surface into an inert, solid, impermeable, and mechanically strong surface.

L'invention concerne un procédé qui permet d'éliminer facilement et rationnellement les molécules d'eau adsorbées dans une surface anodisée en utilisant des rayons ultraviolets à faible intensité. Elle concerne également un procédé qui permet d'assurer l'étanchéité d'une surface en aluminium anodisé sans obtenir de sous-produit dangereux. Le procédé consiste, sous vide: (1) à vaporiser un liquide précurseur donné; (2) à condenser le jet du précurseur vaporisé sur la surface en aluminium anodisé; (3) et à bombarder la vapeur de précurseur ainsi condensée avec un faisceau énergétique d'ions afin de transformer la surface anodisée poreuse en une surface inerte, solide, imperméable et résistante du point de vue mécanique.
