How to Electroplate on Aluminium Alloy & Aluminium Profiles?

After electroplating other metal on the surface of aluminium and aluminium extrusion , it can significantly improve the surface physical or chemical properties, for example, electroplated silver on the surface can improve the electrical conductibility; electroplated copper, nickel or tin on the surface, it's to make aluminium alloy easy to weld; electroplated chromium is to improve wear resistance; In the decorative aspect, actually mostly adopted electroplating chromium. Aluminium and aluminium alloy surface electroplating have long been tried and used in actual production. The factors that oxidizing material existing between aluminium alloy and electroplated layer, the difference thermal expansivity between aluminium alloy and metal plating, pinhole and residual electroplating solution in electroplated layer etc.caused badly coating adhesion. Long time using will flake peeling off immediately after plating, even in the field of surface treatment, aluminium and aluminium a...

Anodizing/Anodic Oxidation Aluminium: The Difference Between Organic Dyeing & Electrolytic Coloring

The non-ferrous metal of aluminum is a light, soft, easy to oxidation in air, so people come up with a way, it is aluminum oxidation process, in its outer grow a protective film, durable, and can be dyed colorful color, the feast for the eyes. Anodising, or anodic oxidation, is an electrolytic process that deposits a chemically stable oxide layer on the surface of the aluminum. The resultant oxide film is thicker and stronger than aluminum's natural oxide covering.The principle of aluminum anodes is a process of decorating and protecting the aluminum and its alloys. In the process of alumina film is formed on aluminum made by direct current under enough voltage through a suitable sulfuric acid electrolyte, the object is the aluminum anode, and by another material or special graphite sheet (lead) as the cathode, electrify time grew out of the required thickness of oxide film. After the production of the film, except for some aluminum, the next step is to tint. In general, the...

Extruded Aluminum Process Step Influences Colouring Effect

The influence of extrusion process on oxidation coloring is mainly the influence of mold/die design, extrusion temperature, extrusion speed and cooling method on the surface state and tissue uniformity of extruded profiles. Mold design should be able to make the material fully fit, otherwise, it is easy to appear bright (dark) with defects, the same profile may appear on the color separation; At the same time, the mold/die state and profile surface extrusion pattern also affect the oxidation coloring. Extrusion temperature, speed, cooling and cooling time are different so that the profile is not uniform but also produce color. Anodic oxidation has important influence on electrolytic coloring of chromatic aberration, especially in the process of vertical oxidation production line is easy to appear the two color, vertical oxidation groove depth of 7.5 m, bath and easy to produce temperature difference, temperature has important effect on the anodic oxidation, high temperature, li...
