Description

    Field of the Invention
  • This invention refers to a process for anodising aluminium or aluminium alloy parts, including pure or almost pure aluminium and all its combinations with other elements in any proportion.
    • Background
  • Traditionally, the acidic solutions used in anodising procedures are composed of sulphuric acid in high concentrations, or of chromic acid. The latter is the main component used in the aerospace industry. Sulphuric acid is not used in the aerospace industry due to the low adherence in the treated parts, while chromic acid has a high toxicity in live beings and is hazardous for the environment. The aqueous tartaric-sulphuric acid solution is an alternative method to anodise parts through an electrolytic process with low environmental impact. This method is described in patent number US 2002/0157961 A1 . Another alternative method is an aqueous solution of sulphuric acid and boric acid described in US patent 4894127 . These methods do not provide the aluminium or aluminium alloy parts with the same properties pertaining to corrosion as the chromic acid treatment.
  • The procedure in this invention uses the aluminium or aluminium alloy parts, described as anodes in an electrolytic cell with an aqueous acidic electrolyte, in order to create a superficial layer of aluminium oxide on said parts. This superficial aluminium oxide improves the properties pertaining to resistance against corrosion and surface layer adherence of an aluminium or aluminium alloy part.
    • Detailed Description of the Invention
  • This invention refers to an anodising procedure for aluminium or aluminium alloys in which the aluminium or aluminium alloy parts are submerged in an aqueous solution at a temperature between 0°C and 130°C, and where said solution includes:
    • sulphuric acid,
    • tartaric acid, and
    • at least one inorganic salt of an element selected between at least one transition metal, one lanthanide element, one actinide, and combinations of them, and apply a controlled potential difference.
  • The inorganic salt of the transition metal may be present in a concentration between 5·10-7 and 1.5 M, preferably in a concentration between 1·10-6 and 1 M.
  • In the invention's procedure, said inorganic salt of the transition metal may be a salt of at least one metal selected between metals from the IIIB, IVB, VB, VIB, VIIB, VIIIB, IB. and IIB groups, a salt from a lanthanide or actinide element, combinations of the previous ones, and preferably a molybdenum salt.
  • The previously mentioned inorganic salt or salts behave as corrosion inhibitors by preventing the development of the different corrosion reactions (depending on the type of inorganic salt), therefore improving the behaviour of the parts pertaining to corrosion.
  • The same aluminium or aluminium alloy parts to be anodised can be used as an anode.
  • According to particular embodiments, the electrolyte is an aqueous acidic electrolyte; preferably it is an aqueous solution of tartaric-sulphuric acid.
  • According to a preferred embodiment, the aqueous solution that acts as an electrolyte has a concentration of sulphuric acid between 0.1 and 1.5 M, preferably between 0.2 M and 0.9 M, and a concentration of L(+)-tartaric acid between 0.1 and 1.5 M, preferably between 0.2 and 0.8M.
  • According to the most preferable embodiment, said solution has a concentration of sulphuric acid between 0.2 M and 0.9 M, L(+)-tartaric acid with a concentration between 0.2 and 0.8M, and one or several inorganic salts composed of at least one or several transition metals in a concentration between 1·10-6 and 1 M.
  • During the anodising process, the temperature of the aqueous solution is kept between 0°C and 140°C, preferably between 0°C and 130°C, even more preferably between 5°C and 80°C, and most preferably between 30 and 40°C.
  • The electrolytic cell is subject to a potential difference 0.5V and 130V, preferably between 1 V and 120 V, even more preferably between 2 V and 100 V, and most preferably between 10 and 30 V according to the procedure.
  • The duration of the anodising procedure is between 1 and 130 minutes, preferably between 5 and 120 minutes, and more preferably between 5 and 40 minutes.
  • This procedure has a duration cycle of about 40% less time as regards traditional chromic acid anodising.
  • The toxicity and hazardousness to the environment of the residues created by this invention is greatly reduced when compared to those created by the traditional anodising procedures.
