Abstract

PURPOSE:To rapidly obtain a desired color tone when an anodic oxide film on Al is subjected to secondary electrolytic coloring, by reducing the time in which the plus component of an ondogram is supplied by a specified percentage. CONSTITUTION:When an anodic oxide film on Al or its alloy is subjected to secondary AC electrolytic coloring in an electrolytic bath contg. metallic salt, the time in which the plus component of the ondogram is supplied is reduced by 10-50%, and while keeping the ratio of the plus component to the minus component in supply time constant, AC is continuously supplied until a desired color tone is obtd. Thus, the necessary time is reduced to about half of the time of the Asada process. The metallic salt contained in the electrolytic bath is nickel or tin salt.

Conventionally, the method of coloring an anodic oxide film of aluminum or its alloy by immersing it in an electrolytic bath containing a metal salt and applying an alternating current current is a well-known technique known as the Asada method, and is widely practiced in industry. The metal salts most commonly used in the Asada method are nickel, tin, and other salts, and when colored, they all give a bronze color tone. The colored oxide film obtained in this way has excellent weather resistance, and due to its color tone, it is widely used in building materials such as curtain walls and sash.

However, in order to obtain a deep color tone using metal salts such as nickel or tin, a long coloring process time of usually 15 minutes or more is required, and from the viewpoint of productivity improvement, the faster electrolytic coloring method is The purpose of the present invention is to improve the drawbacks of the Asada method,
When an anodic oxide film of aluminum or its alloy is electrolyzed with alternating current in an electrolytic bath containing metal salts, the energization time of the positive component of the alternating current waveform is partially shortened to produce a colored film that is quick and has good pecking properties. That is, the present invention provides a method for secondary electrolytic coloring of aluminum or its cypress 1 to obtain the following: It is characterized by shortening the energization time of the positive component of the waveform by an arbitrary ratio, keeping the ratio of energization time with the negative component constant, and continuously energizing until the desired color tone is obtained.

The effect of shortening the positive component becomes apparent from 1%, but when it exceeds 10 inches, the difference from a normal AC sine wave becomes noticeable, and in reality, the positive component shortens at a rate exceeding 10% and less than 50%. It would be better to shorten the energization time, but 1
It can be arbitrarily selected within the range of 99%. Shortening of the positive component of the AC waveform is achieved by cutting one side of the positive waveform, and such cutting can be done by controlling the firing angle of the thyristor.

When electrolytically coloring aluminum strips or their alloys, metal ions in the electrolytic bath precipitate into the anodic oxide film when the anodic oxide film side becomes cathode, so the longer the time that the anodic oxide film side takes on the cathode color, the better the coloring. Although it is considered to have excellent properties, no effective method has been proposed to date.

However, by applying the method according to the present invention described above, by adjusting the time during which the anodic oxide film takes on the cathode color, the time required to achieve coloring of the same tone can be reduced compared to the conventional Asada method. - The time can be shortened to about half. Further, the method according to the present invention is not limited to a specific metal salt, but can be applied to all metal salts conventionally used for electrolytic coloring of aluminum or its alloys.

In addition, in the case of a nickel salt electrolytic bath, spalling occurs when electrolysis is performed for a long time in the Asada method, making it difficult to obtain a blank colored film that requires a long time. By applying this, a blank colored film can be obtained in a relatively short time.
