Definitions

  • the invention relates to a chemical process for avoiding a rainbow effect, which is caused by the oxide layer formed when parts made of aluminum or aluminum alloys are shiny, in which the parts are degreased or cleaned in a first process step and electrolytically alkaline polished in a second process step will.
  • Aluminum parts such as aluminum pressed or rolled profiles, are among others in the building hardware and lighting industry or in particular in the automotive industry with e.g. Window border systems or as a decorative frame, target lists and. Like. Used. It is also known to use parts made of aluminum or aluminum alloys that have a colored anodized surface.
  • Such parts made of aluminum or aluminum alloys are first ground, then polished, degreased, regardless of whether they are to be left in natural color or colored and polished, the parts being treated in a glossy manner in an alkaline electrolyte operated by direct current. It has been shown that the oxide layer that forms when the parts shine produces an iridescent rainbow effect that is extremely undesirable. While the above-mentioned effect is usually only slightly visible with colorless (natural-colored) anodized layers, the rainbow effect, especially with colored anodized layers, is often so strong that it is no longer acceptable.
  • the present invention is based on the object of demonstrating a chemical process for avoiding a rainbow effect which is caused by the oxide layer which forms when parts made of aluminum or aluminum alloys are shiny.
  • This object is achieved on the basis of a method of the type mentioned at the outset in a simple, advantageous and progressive manner according to the invention in that the parts are subjected to a further treatment after the luster, in which the parts are first rinsed in water, then in a chromic acid solution exposed to about 50 g / l CrO3 at about 98 o for about 3 minutes and finally rinsed again in a sodium bisulfite solution.
  • the invention therefore provides that the parts made of aluminum or aluminum alloys are rinsed in water and then exposed in a chromic acid solution, the oxide layer or the oxide film (Schmand) being removed.
  • the subsequent rinsing of the parts in a sodium hydrogen sulfite solution has the effect that the 6-valent chromium is reduced to the 3-valent chromium.
  • the parts treated in this way can be left natural or colored.
  • the parts are exposed in a subsequent process step in an electrolyte containing metal salts using alternating current and then chemically adsorbed in a further process step in a dye bath containing azo dye.
