System for Automation Anodizing Treatment of Metal and Method

The present invention relates to a system and a method for automating anodizing treatment of metals, and more particularly, to a metal surface such as aluminum, and to an anodizing process and an automatic anodizing, sealing, cleaning and drying process. It relates to a treatment method.

In general, anodizing is anodizing (metal oxide: Al ₂ O) which has great adhesion with the base metal by oxygen generated from the anode when the metal or parts are electrolytically deposited on the anode and electrolyzed in a dilute-acid electrolyte. ₃ ) is formed. Anodization is a compound word of anode and oxidation (anodizing). In addition, there is a difference from plating a metal part on a cathode in electroplating. The most representative material of anodization is aluminum (Al), and in addition, it is anodized to metal materials such as magnesium (Mg), zinc (Zn), titanium (Ti), tantalum (Ta), hafnium (Hf), and niobium (Nb). Processing. Recently, the anodizing treatment of magnesium and titanium materials is also increasingly used.

Anodizing on aluminum alloys, which treat anodized aluminum on the surface of aluminum, results in half the erosion of aluminum and a half of the aluminum oxide. Aluminum anodizing (anodic oxidation) can form a film having different properties depending on the composition and concentration of various electrolyte (treatment), additives, temperature, voltage, current, and the like of the electrolyte.

As the characteristics of the anodized film, the film is a dense oxide excellent corrosion resistance, improve the decorative appearance, the anodized film is quite hard, excellent wear resistance, improve the coating adhesion, improve the bonding (bonding) performance, It improves lubricity, displays unique colors for decorative purposes, enables pretreatment of plating, and detects surface damage.

In particular, the characteristic of hard anodizing is low temperature (or room temperature) electrolysis by the alloying property of aluminum, which is a low temperature electrolytic method in H ₂ SO ₄ solution, which is a hard film having corrosion resistance, abrasion resistance, and insulation rather than anodizing film. If it is 30 micrometers or more, it is hard. Aluminum metal surface is transformed into alumina ceramic using electric and chemical methods. When this method is applied, aluminum metal itself is oxidized and converted into alumina ceramic, and the surface of aluminum is stronger than steel and wear resistance is better than hard chromium plating. It does not peel off like plating or coating, and the changed alumina ceramic surface has excellent electrical insulation (1,500V), but electricity flows well inside. Advanced technologies using a hard-anodizing surface treatment method have been developed and applied to such aluminum metals.

Thus, in order to process hard anodizing on aluminum metal, an aluminum film is immersed in an electrolytic cell containing an acidic electrolyte solution, and a voltage and a current of a certain magnitude are flowed to form an oxide film on the metal surface. Depending on the thickness of the oxide film.

Accordingly, in order to increase the thickness of the aluminum metal, an aluminum metal is immersed in an electrolytic cell to which a low voltage and current are applied to form a film having a predetermined thickness, and then the aluminum metal is transferred to an electrolytic cell to which a relatively high voltage and current is applied. . That is, it was necessary to prepare a plurality of electrolytic cells having different voltages and currents, and to increase the film thickness while immersing aluminum metal in the corresponding electrolytic cells sequentially.

Therefore, the work conditions for anodizing aluminum metal are disadvantageous, and the manpower is increased, the space utilization for the installation of the equipment for anodizing is reduced and the cost of construction is increased, and the demand and management of the electrolyte solution stored in the electrolytic cell is disadvantageous. Increasing the cost of the product by providing a separate rectifier for supplying the corresponding voltage and increasing the demand for power, requiring a cooling facility for cooling the electrolyte, and lowering the homogeneity of the product by anodizing through a separate electrolyzer.
