This work focuses on obtaining superhydrophobic surfaces on an aluminium-magnesium substrate for industrial use in a simple and relatively inexpensive way. For this purpose, texturing techniques have been used by sanding with paper, sandblasting with abrasives and hydrophobization by cathodic electr...
