Abstract

The process for anodizing a workpiece of aluminium or aluminium alloys provides for the use of the workpiece as the anode of an electrolytic cell in the presence of an aqueous acid solution which contains from 10 to 200 g sulphuric acid and from 5 to 200 g L(+)-tartaric acid.

Description

  • The present invention relates to an anodizing process for a workpiece (such as, for example, a part or a component of a system) of aluminium or aluminium alloys, this definition being intended to comprise pure or almost pure aluminium, as well as combinations thereof in all percentages with other elements.
  • In greater detail, this process makes use of the above-mentioned workpiece as the anode of an electrolytic cell in the presence of an aqueous acid solution in order to form on the surface of the workpiece a coating of aluminium oxide.
  • This coating results in better properties concerning the resistance to corrosion and the adhesion of paints, bonding agents and other organic coatings suitable for improving the appearance or the resistance to corrosion of the finished workpiece.
  • Conventionally, this acid solution substantially comprises sulphuric acid at high concentrations or chromic acid, the latter being the compound mainly used in the field of aeronautics.
  • The problem addressed by the present invention is to provide an anodizing process having a lesser toxicological impact on the environment in comparison with the known types, avoiding the use of chromic acid whilst nevertheless obtaining anodized workpieces having properties which are at least equivalent to those of workpieces obtained by conventional means.
  • This problem is solved according to the invention by an anodizing process of the type indicated in the introduction to the present description and characterized in that the aqueous acid solution contains from 10 to 200 g sulphuric acid and from 5 to 200 g L(+)-tartaric acid per litre of solution.
  • The process according to the invention has the advantage of eliminating, or in any case greatly reducing, the production of industrial waste, in particular waste containing compounds of chromium, without causing the formation of other waste materials having particular toxic or dangerous properties.
  • The process according to the invention further has the advantage of having a cycle time which is approximately 40% short of that of the analogous process which makes use of chromic acid, producing anodized workpieces having properties at least equivalent if not superior. Consequently, the process according to the invention allows a considerable reduction in running costs to be obtained in that it results in lower costs for the treatment of the waste and involves a substantially lower rate of consumption for the different chemicals used for replenishing the baths, which have an operational life greater than those used in known processes.
  • The aqueous acid solution of the process according to the invention preferably contains from 20 to 80 g sulphuric acid and from 30 to 120 g L(+)-tartaric acid per litre of solution.
  • Again preferably, the aqueous solution is maintained, during the anodizing treatment, at a temperature of between ambient temperature and 120°C and, more preferably, between 25 and 35°C.
  • The electrolytic cell, in which the process according to the invention is carried out, is preferably subjected to a voltage of between 1 and 120 V and, more preferably, of between 10 and 30 V.
  • The process according to the invention advantageously has a duration of between 5 and 120 minutes and, preferably, of between 5 and 30 minutes.
  • The anodizing process is generally preceded by a cleaning and/or deoxidizing treatment of the workpiece to be anodized and can be followed by a sealing treatment and, optionally, rinsing for the anodized workpiece. In principle, these treatments are of conventional type and completely compatible with the present invention and can be selected at will from treatments known to this end by the person skilled in the art.
  • The workpiece advantageously has, upon completion of the anodizing treatment, an oxidized surface coating having a thickness of between a few micrometres and several tens of micrometres.
  • There now follow, merely by way of non-limiting, illustrative example, examples of the anodizing process according to the invention, as well as a comparative example performed by conventional techniques.
