Abstract: A chemical treatment process has been identified as a simple and effective means of improving the bonding of injection-molded polymer to stainless steel surfaces. This process forms an oxide layer on a stainless steel surface that includes a layered double hydroxide. The layered double hydroxide both raises the bond strength and minimizes air or water leakage. The process enables the use of stainless steel alloys with injection molded polymer structural bonds in strong, lightweight, and water-resistant enclosures for consumer electronics.

Abstract: An enclosure for an electronic device includes a titanium-aluminum clad substrate and an anodic oxide coating disposed on the titanium-aluminum clad substrate. The anodic oxide coating includes a density of between about 2.1 g/cm3 and about 2.4 g/cm3 or includes a maximum porosity between about 21% and about 31% and can be exposed to a temperature of over 150° C. without cracking or crazing.
