How Relevant between the Temperature of Anodise Oxidation Solution and Oxide Film?



The temperature of anodic oxidation solution is the dominant process parameter affecting the properties of the oxide film. When the temperature increases the viscosity of the solution decreases, the current density increases (while the voltage is constant), or when the voltage decreases and the current are constant, the energy consumption can be reduced and the production efficiency can be improved. 
When the temperature of the solution is more than 24 ℃, the dissolution rate of the film layer is increased, which caused the production rate of film, the hardness of film and the thickness of the film layer reduce, the capacity of wear resistance and corrosion resistance down, and the oxide film becomes loose. So at this point do everything possible to reduce the temperature of the solution. However when the temperature of the solution is too low, let’s say it below 12℃, the good news is that the thickness of oxide film can be increased, and the capacity of wear resistance is also better; But the oxide film’s brittleness increases, the porosity is small and the dying is difficult. Therefore, while anodizing aluminium alloy profiles, the solution temperature must be strictly controlled to prevent the solution from being too cold.
Anodic oxidation is the exothermic reaction; the formation of the oxide film is accompanied by the production of joules so that the temperature of the solution rises rapidly. When anodizing, it is necessary to take corresponding measures to control the temperature of the solution in the normal process specification (between 12℃ to 24 ℃), so as to ensure the formation of the oxide film can continue with quality. When the temperature is too low to meet the requirement of dying, the general parts can be firstly processed, then waiting for the temperature increased, the dyeing profiles will be processed. How to control the process? It’s a matter of experience.

4 Advantages of T-slotted Aluminium Extrusion Frame

Whether you are assembling a large production line, installing automation equipment, or setting up a workbench for a production line, you may need a metal framework to install robotic parts, dispensers, or other automated assembly equipment. Many factory owners choose traditional welded steel structures to enhance their strength and durability. However, aluminum extrusion frames are becoming increasingly popular for several reasons. Hoonly Aluminium Extrusion Framework is a modular solution that consists of  Aluminium extrusion profiles  with a unique T-slot design, and series of  specialized connectors & fasteners , which allows designer or purchaser to adjust the structure frame according to their own needs. Because the framework is aluminum, it often has a higher price tag than steel (actually less than stainless steel). But don't you found that aluminum extrusion frames offer distinct advantages over other material frames (such as wood, stainless steel) systems? 1,

Application of High Strength Aluminum in Automotive Industry

The huge growing world car ownership is great influencing people's work and life, but resulting a series of problems such as energy shortage, environmental pollution is also increasingly prominent. Light-weight, energy saving, environmental protection, safety, comfort and low cost become the target of each car manufacturer, especially in energy saving and environmental protection, which is the major problem for the sustainable development of the human relationship, energy conservation, and emissions reduction has become an urgent problem in the automotive industry. Light-weight of the automobile,  which means on the premise of guarantee vehicle performance is not affected, auto-manufacturers should be targeted to reduce automobile weight, to ensure the safety and comfort, and meanwhile should not improve the cost. From the life cycle of the automobile products, a fuel consumption cost is the main part of the vehicle life cycle cost, which occupies 71% of the cycle costs. A

Overview of Chemical Polishing Aluminium, Electra-chemical Polishing Aluminium and Mechanical Polishing

The general engineering application of wrought aluminium alloy material or building aluminium profile is the process of the semi-finished product. Aluminium extrusion profile manufacturers are generally able to directly put the profiles into anodize production line for anodizing. The obtained anodized film has the good protective properties in many engineering applications, which basically achieves uniform appearance requirements. However, if mechanically polished aluminium work-piece is directly anodized, only the smooth anodize oxide film could be obtained, but fails to get the coating film of high reflective. Chemical polishing and electro-chemical polishing can give aluminium profile a very shiny surface, but in terms of polishing, chemical polishing (or electro-chemical polishing) are fundamentally different from mechanical polishing: Chemical polishing and electrochemical polishing, as an advanced finishing method, can remove slight mold marks and scratches on the surface
