Electrophoresis of Aluminium Profiles


1. The principle of electrophoresis technology

The electrophoresis is basically the same as the traditional light and transparent electrophoresis. The anode electrophoresis is carried out under the action of direct current.With the action of the electric field, the coated particles with charge are moved to the coated workpiece, which precipitates the electrophoresis coating deposited on the surface of the aluminum profile, forming a layer of film.The difference lies in the different types of coatings and the slightly different devices.

The electrophoretic coating includes acrylic resin, melamine resin, pigments, solvents, neutralizing agents, additives and other ingredients. Through the application of thermal fixing in the viaduct layer in the particle, the shape of the micro-concave coating during the process of baking was basically unchanged in the baking process, and the appearance of the film was formed uniformly.The degree of extinction can be adjusted by the ratio of high gloss paint and low gloss paint.

For profile color, due to the transparency of coating, the color of the product depends on the electrolytic coloring. The color of the profile can also be added to color, white, ivory, green, red, ash, etc., by selecting the color aluminum profile required by adding color pulp. The surface quality is better than spray.

2. Excellent performance of products

2.1 high transparency and full measure, with special gloss and transparency, the coating has a high stereo effect, and the color of the substrate is obvious.
2.2 the high hardness, when the temperature of 180 ℃ baking 30 min, hardness can be up to 4 to 5 h.
2.3 good level of flow, strong paint film, and smooth film.
2.4 with strong binding force and penetration, the coating is all-pervasive, and the wet film and dry film have a strong binding force.
2.5 the performance is good, resistance to discoloration and corrosion when the baking temperature of 180 ℃ ~ 200 ℃ workpiece does not change color, lasting bright color products, corrosion effect is perfect.
2.6 the average of the electrophoresis is good, the paint film is evenly flat, and can reach 10-16 um in 90-200v, high efficiency, and low power consumption.
2.7 good impact resistance and artificial sweat resistance.
2.8 it can be used for the surface protection of aluminum, metal electroplating, precious metal accessories, lamps and high-end furniture.
2.9 it can be electrophoresis with various color slurry: titanium gold, general grey, real black and other colors. due to the superior screening rate of the matte electrophoresis coating, the extrusion mold pattern on the surface of the aluminum material has a certain degree of masking effect.And for the color difference of the dying process, it has a certain degree of compensation effect.


3. The principle and application of paint extinction

With electrophoresis coating technology development, in the coating industry in China, also become the world's top coating production, forming a related industry group, and actively promote the technological revolution and development of traditional painting domain.During this period, the bright and bright gloss paints are popular with consumers with their bright colors and bright colors, and in a long time, the coating market.However, as people's living standard has been improved, on the one hand, consumers have felt that the high gloss coating is more serious than the reflection, which is harmful to people's eyes.On the other hand, the aesthetic concept of consumers is more and more casual, fashionable and personalized.Coupled with the booming demand of China's electronics and appliance industries.These factors led to a sharp increase in demand for low-gloss coatings with a soft appearance.At the same time, it is necessary to consider how to produce paint with matte performance.

3.1 influence factors of gloss and luster
3.1.1 determination of gloss and luster
The light that is projected onto the surface of the object will reflect the light, and the surface of the object will be reflected in the light.Different surfaces have different gloss, measuring the size of the surface of the light reflected by the light, called glossiness.The gloss is expressed as a percentage.The higher the glossiness of the surface, the greater the ability to reflect light and the higher the brightness.The size of the gloss is measured by the photoelectric gloss meter.According to the size of the gloss, the coating can be divided into light, sublight and weak light.Classification of gloss of coatings (with 60 reflections) :
Weak light: gloss less than 10%;
Sublight: gloss 10 ~ 60%;
Light: glossiness > 60%.

3.2 factors affecting luster
3.2.1 roughness of the coating surface
The surface gloss of the object is closely related to the roughness of the surface. When the light is on the surface of the object, some of it will be absorbed by the object, some will reflect and scatter, and some will refraction.The smaller the surface roughness, the more light reflected, the higher the glossiness. Conversely, if the surface of the object is uneven, the scattered light increases, resulting in a decrease in the gloss.The surface roughness (h) of a polished object can be perceived by human vision, and the theoretical knowledge of micro surface can be calculated according to the formula: h=λ/cos a, in which λ is the wavelength of incident light; a is the incident Angle. Such as incident Angle when taking 60 °, can calculate the h = 1.1 μm, when the surface roughness of his greater than 1.1 μ m, will show uneven, glossiness is reduced.

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
