This invention relatestto a. method: of etchin aluminum and aluminum base; aiu ysl.
In many instances. whereartjicles. of: aluminum or aluminum base alloys; are tahrijcated it is, necessary to etch the; surfiace-of. the; article.- either as n id in fabricationofthe article. to provide a e for further finishin -co e give avfinal decorative finish. The. usuat industrial; practice in etching e materials: is to treat-the; surface of the article, with, a, hot; aqueous: soluti n coirta ninsan etch n alkali. such. as sodium hyx d p ssium. hydroxide. trisod um choc: p t s da ash. r s milar-mat r als;- Qrm xtures of these chemicals in varying proportions. Because of the chemical activity of the aluminum, it reacts with these alkaline etching chemicals to form aluminum reaction products as may be represented; by the reaction with sodium hydroxide:
Although such practicesin'the past have been. effective in etching the metals, these methods are not entirely satisfiactor y and the; n'iethod has certain inherent disadyanl figfia Probably the most importantv of thesedisadvanta es is the formation of a, hardrock-like scale. or m ss in the etching tank whichisdeposited on the sides of the tank, on the heating units in the tank and on other surfaces. This scale is ordinarily so hard and tenaciousthat lt is quite, diifiou t to remove. Generally this scale canonly be, re,- moved by chipping it; off with. hammers. or; other tools. This not onlycauses loss, oi. time .andexpensive labor costs but thetb leaking looseof the scale often damages the equipment. The scale is apparently formed. whenthe concentration of, the alkali in theretching solution becomes reduced due to the; reaction oi the alkali with the, metal. When this happensathe: sodiumalumia re ionproduct. reacts with water t P cip tate huninummlirdroxide. accordin o h equation:
The aluminum, hydroxide apparently thenreacts further to precipitate alumina according to the following eq ation:
The alumina, isapparently the principal constituent of the hard-rock-like scale;
It is known that; the scale formation can be postponed for a short period by the addition of fresh alkali such as sodium hydroxide to the solution as the alkali, in the solution is used up. However, as, the concentration of aluminum in the solution. increases, the addition of fresh alkali must be similarly increased in amount until these additions; become so large that they upset the control necessary for the production of av uniformly etched product. Thus the attempt to solve the problem by additions of fresh alkali s not. o m y feasible- As can be noted from the aboveequations, the reaction between the water and the sodium aluminate: regenerates; some sodium, hydroxide. While this is of some advantage; it is more than counteracted by the objectionable scale that is also formed; Furthermore this regeneration of alkali cannot be controlled so that as the work is withdrawn from; the: etching bath the regeneration often occurs in the film adhering to the work so that the increased concentration of alkali produces a non-uniform surface. Fur
thermorethe scale that is formed often adheres.

The above-table of examplesis only indicative of the results achieved since the degree of reversionis controlled by temperature, additions of alkali as upkeep, the time of the etching process and other variables.

A- further advantage obtained in using. a suitable hydroxyv compound as described herein is the. elimination or the substantial reduction of the problems involved. in removing smut often formed during aluminumetching. This smutis ordinarily silicon, carbon, copper on. other materials left at. the surface of the article being etched after. removalv of the aluminum by the etching solution. The. removal of this smut often requires additional treatment in an acid bath. When aluminum and. aluminum base" alloys are treated accordingto the method of this invention the smut that remains can be removed much easier so that the removal time is reduced byv /3 to as compared with similar articles etched in a bath according to the old methods. In many instances, the new method leaves the smut in such a condition that it can be easily rinsed off so that the usual acid treatment is unnecessary.
In testing the methods of this invention it has been observed that crude and technical grades of gluconates and gluconic acid give somewhat better results than the purified material although the reason for this is not understood. The following data illustrates the differences in the crude or technical grade gluconate and the purified material.
