铝合金表面处理的方法及应用对铝及其合金进行表面处理产生的氧化膜具有装饰效果、防护性能和特殊功能,可以改善铝及其合金导电、导热、耐磨、耐腐蚀以及光学性能等。
因此,国内外研究人员运用各种方法对其进行表面处理,以提高它的综合性能,并取得了很大进展。
目前,铝及其合金材料已广泛地应用于建筑、航空和军事等领域中。
本文分类论述了铝及其合金材料表面处理的主要方法。
1·化学转化膜处理金属表面处理工业中的化学转化处理时使金属与特定的腐蚀液接触,在一定条件下,金属表面的外层原子核腐蚀液中的离子发生化学或电化学反应,在金属表面形成一层附着力良好的难溶的腐蚀生成物膜层。
换言之,化学转化处理是一种通过除去金属表面自然形成的氧化膜而在其表面代之以一层防腐性能更好、与有机涂层结合力更佳的新的氧化膜或其他化合物的技术。
1.1阳极氧化法铝的阳极氧化法是把铝作为阳极,置于硫酸等电解液中,施加阳极电压进行电解,在铝的表面形成一层致密的Al2O3膜,该膜是由致密的阻碍层和柱状结构的多孔层组成的双层结构。
阳极氧化时,氧化膜的形成过程包括膜的电化学生成和膜的化学溶解两个同时进行的过程。
当成膜速度大于溶解速度时,膜才得以形成和成长。
通过降低膜的溶解速度,可以提高膜的致密度。
氧化膜的性能是由膜孔的致密度决定的。
1.1.1硬质阳极氧化铝的硬质阳极氧化是在铝进行阳极氧化时,通过适当的方法,降低膜的溶解速度,获得更厚、更致密的氧化膜。
常规的方法是低温(一般为0℃左右)和低硫酸浓度(如<10%H2SO4)的条件下进行,生产过程存在能耗大、成本高的缺点。
改善硬质阳极氧化膜的另一种方法是改变电源的电流波形。
氧化膜的电阻很大,氧化过程中产生大量的热量,因此,传统直流氧化电流不宜过大,运用脉冲电流或脉冲电流与直流电流相叠加,可以极大地降低阳极氧化所需要的电压,并且可使用更高的电流密度,同时还可以通过调节占空比和峰值电压,来提高膜的生长速度,改善膜的生成质量,获得性能优良的氧化膜。

Two test specimens prepared in accordance with 4.2.2 and 4.2.2.1 shall be tested for wet tape adhesion. The test shall be conducted in accordance with FED-STD-141, method 6301, to determine conformance to 3.6.2.5. PACKAGING5.1 Not applicable.6. NOTES(This section contains information of a general or explanatory nature that may be helpful, but is not mandatory.)6.1 Intended use. The conversion coatings covered by this specification are intended for use, throughout the Department of Defense, on aluminum and aluminum alloy substrates that are not anodized. They are used to repair anodized coatings on aluminum. They are designated as a post treatment to ion-vapor deposition (IVD) aluminum used on many military platforms as a cadmium alternative or galvanic corrosion inhibitor. Type I and II conversion coatings provide corrosion protection on unpainted items, as well as improve adhesion of paint finish systems on aluminum and aluminum alloys. The conversion coatings covered by this specification exceed commercially available products due to the nature of their use on aircraft.6.1.1 Class 1A. Class 1A chemical conversion coatings are intended to provide corrosion prevention on unpainted items as well as improve adhesion of paint finish systems on aluminum and aluminum alloys. Coatings of this type may be used, for example, on tanks, tubing, and component structures where paint finishes are not required for interior surfaces but are required for the exterior surfaces.6.1.2 Class 3. Class 3 chemical conversion coatings are intended for use as a corrosion preventive film for electrical and electronic applications where lower resistant contacts, relative to class 1A coatings, and anodic coatings in accordance with MIL-A-8625, are required (see 6.1.2.1). Coating thickness is varied by immersion time, and as a result, the same conversion material can be listed on QPL-81706 for both classes. Because class 3 coatings are thinner they are more susceptible to corrosion than class 1A coatings. If it is required to paint areas surrounding electrical contacts, class 3 coatings improve adhesion of paint systems on aluminum and aluminum alloys.6.1.2.1 Electrical resistance testing. When under a nominal electrode pressure of 200 psi, class 3 coatings are qualified under MIL-DTL-81706 to have a resistance not greater than 5,000 microhms per square inch as supplied and 10,000 microhms per square inch after 168 hours of salt spray exposure. In addition to the coating or coating thickness (see 6.1.2), other variables heavily influence resistance values when using the test method specified in MIL-DTL-81706 or other similar methods. The following two variables (see 6.1.2.1.1 and 6.1.2.1.2) may have a greater effect on electrical resistance values than the conversion coating thickness.6.1.2.1.1 Surface roughness of the specimen panel. Test specimens having rough surfaces will yield lower resistance values when subjected to a contact electrode pressure due to coating fracture. This reasoning can also be applied to the contact electrode.6.1.2.1.2 Flatness of the contact electrode. If an electrode with a given surface area is not flat, the actual contact area will be lower than the theoretical value. A smaller contact arearesults in a higher resistance value. The same reasoning can be applied to the test specimen.6.2 Responsibility for inspection. Unless otherwise specified in the contract or order, the contractor is responsible for the performance of all inspection requirements (examinations and tests) as specified herein. Except as otherwise specified in the contract or order, the contractor may use his own or any other facilities suitable for the performance of the inspection requirements specified herein, unless disapproved by the Government. The Government reserves the right to perform any of the inspections set forth in the specification where such inspections are deemed necessary to ensure supplies and services conform to prescribed requirements.6.3 Responsibility for compliance. All items must meet the requirements of section 3. The inspection set forth in this specification must become a part of the contractor’s overall inspection system or quality program. The absence of any inspection requirement in the specification will not relieve the contractor of the responsibility of ensuring that all products or supplies submitted to the Government for acceptance comply with all requirements of the contract. Sampling inspection, as part of manufacturing operations, is an acceptable practice to ascertain conformance to requirements, however, this does not authorize submission of known defective material, either indicated or actual, nor does it commit the Government to acceptance of defective material.6.4 Acquisition requirements. Acquisition documents should specify the following:a. Title, number, and date of the specification.b. Type and class required (see 1.2.1 and 1.2.2).c.Method of application, if restricted (see 3.3).d. If touch-up is permitted for mechanically damaged areas (see 3.4).e.Colorless coatings, if required (see 3.5).f. If touch-up is permitted for contact marks (see 3.5)g.Omit the paint adhesion test, if permitted (see 3.6.2).h.If electrical resistance testing if required for class 3 coatings (see 3.7 and 6.1.2).i.When electrical resistance testing is required, specify the required resistance values,frequency of testing, and test method (see 3.7 and 6.1.2).j.Alloy and temper of the process control test specimens, if different than that specified in4.2.2.k.Paint finish system for treated parts, if applicable (see 4.2.2.1).l.Quantity required.m. Sampling plan, if different than that specified (see 4.3.1 and 6.18).n. Lot size, if different than that specified (see 4.3.2).6.5 Interchangeability. The various products approved in accordance withMIL-DTL-81706 and listed on QPL-81706 provide equivalent coatings within eachtype and class. These coatings are equivalent insofar as performance of the chemical conversion coating is concerned, to the provisions of this specification, but are not interchangeable from a chemical standpoint; that is, different materials cannot be mixed. The materials from onesupplier cannot be mixed or used to strengthen an existing solution from another material supplier. As the chemical coating materials are proprietary products, the ingredients, processes, the method of application (e.g., spray, brush, or immersion), and the equipment required for application of the coating may vary. Contractors and military activities must take this into account in acquisition, in the design of parts, and in the establishment of facilities. Detail drawing of parts requiring treatment in accordance with this specification should specify class1A or 3, where applicable the required type, I or II, and any paint finishing systems required to meet the performance desired. If the coating class is not specified, class 1A is recommended.6.6 Cleaners. Use of a non-etch cleaner is preferred, particularly on wrought alloys. If an etch is used, caution must be taken to prevent pitting or intergranular attack. This is particularly important when using an alkaline etch because the aluminum tends to be more soluble than its alloying elements and existing intermetallics, such as copper, which may be further exposed. As a result, alkaline etching should be avoided (particularly when cleaning assembled structures). If an alkaline etch is used, it should always be followed by an acid neutralization step.6.7 Abrasion resistance. The abrasion resistance of chemical coatings is relatively low. Coatings are reasonably durable when subjected only to moderate handling, but are readily removed by severe wear or erosion. However, cold forming operations, when performed with care, can generally be performed on treated metals without appreciable damage to the coatings.6.8 Visual appearance. The simplest way to evaluate a conversion coating is to observe color, continuity in appearance, smoothness and adhesion to the base metal (see 3.5). Visual examination is performed to ensure that proper cleaning and coating procedures were used such that a coating with sufficient protection exists over the entire part. Materials qualified underMIL-DTL-81706 produce coatings that range in color from clear/colorless to iridescent yellow, brown, gray, or blue. It may be possible to develop acceptable color levels for a particular coating system by use of color chips. The following circumstances may exist that relate to color uniformity:a.When several alloys are processed with the same conversion chemical, color may varyfrom alloy to alloy.b.Due to the high level of impurities and oxidation on the surfaces of aluminum welds andcastings, color may not be as uniform as that obtained by treating wrought alloys.c.Dark spots may result from dripping or rundown of the conversion chemicals when theparts are lifted out of the treatment tank. A small amount of spotting does not result incoating degradation but must be minimized by quickly rinsing the parts after treatment, and use of proper racking techniques.Visual examination does not reveal if the protective value of the coating has been impaired by contamination or by overheating during drying. If a clear coating is required, inspection difficulties may arise because visual inspection does not reveal the presence of a coating. Fortype I materials, existence of a coating can be verified by using a simple spot test specified in ASTM-B449. For type II materials, existence of a coating should be verified per the manufacturer’s recommendation6.9 Determination of a corrosion spot or pit. As a general rule, a corrosion spot or pit usually displays a characteristic tail or line, however, any visible corrosion or pitting except scratches or substrate surface defects is to be counted..6.10 Test specimens (2024-T3). Due to high copper content, 2024-T3 aluminum alloy test specimens are more susceptible to salt spray failure than 6061-T6 aluminum alloy test specimens (see 4.2.2).6.11 Chemical analysis of the conversion solution. Note that many conversion materials do not react sufficiently with aluminum surfaces at low temperatures. Conversion coating of parts in an unheated facility, such as a hangar, during colder periods of the year is not recommended.6.12 Paint adhesion. Coated parts should be allowed to dry in accordance with the chemical manufacturer’s recommendation before they are subsequently painted or adhesion failures may occur. When coated parts are stored for extensive periods before painting, they should be cleaned in accordance with 3.2 to reactivate the surface by removing dust particles. Excessively thick coatings may result in paint adhesion problems, such as blistering, due to higher amounts of soluble material under the paint.6.13 Paint compatibility. Compatibility problems between conversion coatings and certain Chemical Agent Resistant Coatings (CARC) have been reported.6.14 Temperature effects on corrosion protection. Unpainted conversion coatings will commence losing corrosion resistance properties if exposed to temperatures of 140 ºF (60 ºC) or higher, during drying, subsequent fabrication, or service. As temperatures and exposure times increase, the corrosion protection of unpainted conversion coated parts decreases. The reduction is believed to result from the coating dehydrating and the resulting insolubility of the chromates within the coating.6.15 Solution analysis documentation. Documentation of the history of each processing bath, showing additions of replenishing chemicals to the bath and the results of all solution analyses performed must be maintained. Testing of the solution should be consistent with best industry practices and manufacturer’s recommendations. Upon request of the acquisition activity, such records, as well as reports of the test results, should be made available. These records must be maintained for not less than one year after completion of the contract or order.6.16 Shelf life. This specification covers items where shelf life is a consideration. Specific shelf-life requirements should be specified in the contract or purchase order. The shelf-life codes are contained in the Federal Logistics Information System Total Item Record. Additive information for shelf-life management may be obtained from DoD 4140.27-M, Shelf-life。

The Government reserves the right to perform any of theinspections set forth in the specification where such inspections are deemed necessary to ensure supplies and services conform to prescribed requirements.4.1.1Responsibility for compliance: All items must meet all requirements of Section 3. The inspectionset forth in this specification shall become a part of the contractor’s overall inspection system or quality program. The absence of any inspection requirements in the specification shall not relieve the contractor of the responsibility of ensuring that all products or supplies submitted to theGovernment for acceptance comply with all requirements of the contract. Sampling inspection, as part of manufacturing operations, is an acceptable practice to ascertain conformance torequirements, however, this does not authorize submission of known defective material, eitherindicated or actual, nor does it commit the Government to acceptance of defective material.4.2Classification of inspection:--``,,``,`````,```,,,`,```,,,``-`-`,,`,,`,`,,`---The inspection requirements specified herein are classified as follows:a.Process control inspection (see 4.3).b.Quality conformance inspection (see 4.4).4.3Process control inspection:4.3.1Process control tests and solution analysis: To assure continuous control of the process, testspecimens (see 4.3.3) shall be tested in accordance with Table I (see 4.3.1.1).

If desired, 2024-T3 panels may be used in lieu of 6061-T6 panels for testing class 3 coatings (see 6.8). When castings are being processed and the cleaning procedures used are detrimental to the wrought --``,,``,`````,```,,,`,```,,,``-`-`,,`,,`,`,,`---specimen panels, the panels shall be cleaned in an appropriate manner (see 3.2) and conversion coated with the castings.4.3.3.1Preparation of paint adhesion specimens: Unless otherwise specified (see 6.2), the paint systemto be used on the specimen panels for adhesion testing (see 4.5.2) shall be that used for theproduction work (applied and cured in the same manner as the production work) or the paintsystem specified in 4.3.3.1.1.4.3.3.1.1Epoxy primer coatings: Specimen panels shall be finished with one coat of a (VOC) compliantepoxy-polyamide primer conforming to either MIL-P-23377 or MIL-P-85582.

After the coating application, the specimen panels shall be dried at 60-100°F for 24 hours. The panels shall then be subjected to a 5 percent saltspray test in accordance with ASTM B117 for 168 hours, except that the significant surface shall be inclined 6 degrees from the vertical. After exposure, test pieces shall be cleaned in running water, not warmer than 38°C (100°F), blown with clean, dry unheated air, and visually examined forconformance with paragraph 3.6.4.5.2Wet tape adhesion test: Two specimen panels prepared in accordance with 4.3.3 and 4.3.3.1 shall --``,,``,`````,```,,,`,```,,,``-`-`,,`,,`,`,,`---be tested for wet tape adhesion. The test shall be conducted as described in method 6301 ofFED-STD-141 to determine conformance with paragraph 3.7.5.PACKAGING:5.1The requirements of Section 5 are not applicable.6.NOTES:(This section contains information of a general or explanatory nature that may be helpful, but is not mandatory.)6.1Intended use:6.1.1Class 1A: Class 1A chemical conversion coatings are intended to provide corrosion preventionwhen left unpainted as well as to improve adhesion of paint finish systems on aluminum andaluminum alloys. Coatings of this type may be used, for example, on tanks, tubing, andcomponent structures where paint finishes are not required for the interior surfaces but arerequired for the exterior surfaces.6.1.2Class 3: Class 3 chemical conversion coatings are intended for use as a corrosion preventive filmfor electrical and electronic applications where lower resistant contacts, relative to Class 1Acoatings, and anodic coatings in accordance with MIL-A-8625, are required (see 6.1.2.1). Theprimary difference between a Class 1A and Class 3 coating is thickness, since current passesmore readily through a thinner current resistant barrier (coating). Coating thickness is varied by immersion time, and as a result, the same conversion material can be listed on QPL-81706 for both classes. Because Class 3 coatings are thinner, they are more susceptible to corrosion than Class 1A coatings. If it is required to paint areas surrounding electrical contacts, Class 3 coatings will improve adhesion of paint systems on aluminum and aluminum alloys.6.1.2.1Electrical resistance testing: When under a nominal electrode pressure of 200 psi, Class 3coatings are qualified per MIL-C-81706 to have a resistance no greater than 5,000 microhms per square inch as supplied and 10,000 microhms per square inch after 168 hours of salt sprayexposure. In addition to the coating or coating thickness (see 6.1.2), other variables heavilyinfluence resistance values when using the test method specified in MIL-C-81706 or other similar methods. The following two variables may have a greater effect on electrical resistance values than the conversion coating thickness.6.1.2.1.1Surface roughness of the specimen panel: Panels having rough surfaces will yield lowerresistance values when subjected to a contact electrode pressure due to coating fracture. Thisreasoning can also be applied to the contact electrode.6.1.2.1.2Flatness of the contact electrode: If an electrode with a given surface area is not flat, the actualcontact area will be lower than the theoretical value. Smaller contact area will result in a higherresistance value. The same reasoning can be applied to the specimen panel.6.2Ordering data:Acquisition documents should specify the following:a.Title, number and date of this specification.b.Class of coating (see 1.2.1).c.Method of application, if restricted (see 3.3).d.Clear coatings, if desired (see 3.5).--``,,``,`````,```,,,`,```,,,``-`-`,,`,,`,`,,`---e.Omit the paint adhesion test, if permitted (see 3.7)f.If electrical resistance testing is required for Class 3 coatings, (see 3.8 and 6.1.2).g.When electrical resistance testing is required, specify the required resistance values, frequencyof testing, and test method (see 3.8 and 6.1.2).h.Alloy and temper of the process control specimen panels, if different than that specified in 4.3.3.i.Paint finish system for treated parts, if applicable (see 4.3.3.1)j.Lot size, if different from that specified (see 4.4.1).k.Sampling plan, if different from that specified (see 4.4.2).6.3Interchangeability:The various products approved in accordance with MIL-C-81706 and listed on QPL-81706 willprovide equivalent coatings within each class insofar as performance of the chemical conversion coating is concerned to the provisions of the document, but are not interchangeable from a chemical standpoint; that is, different materials can not be mixed. The materials from one supplier shall not be mixed or used to strengthen an existing solution from another material supplier. As the chemical coating materials are proprietary products, the ingredients, processes, the method of application (spray, brush, or immersion), and the equipment required for application of coating may vary.Coating contractors and military activities should take this into account in acquisition, in the design of parts and the establishment of facilities. Detail drawing of parts requiring treatment in accordance with this specification should specify the Class 1A or 3 and any paint finishing systems required to meet the performance desired. If the coating class is not specified, Class 1A is recommended.6.4Cleaners:Use of a non-etch cleaner is preferred, particularly on wrought alloys. If an etch is used, caution should be taken to prevent pitting or intergranular attack. This is particularly important when using an alkaline etch because the aluminum tends to be more soluble than its alloying elements and existing intermetallics, such as copper, may be further exposed. As a result, alkaline etching should be avoided (particularly when cleaning assembled structures). If an alkaline etch is used, it should always be followed by an acid neutralization step.6.5Abrasion resistance:The abrasion resistance of chemical coatings is relatively low. Coatings are reasonably durable when subjected only to moderate handling, but are readily removed by severe wear or erosion.However, cold forming operations, when performed with care, can generally be performed on treated metals without appreciable damage to the coatings.6.6Visual appearance:--``,,``,`````,```,,,`,```,,,``-`-`,,`,,`,`,,`---The simplest way to evaluate a conversion coating is to observe color, uniformity of appearance, smoothness and adhesion to the base metal (see 3.5).

It should be noted that many conversion materials do not react sufficiently withaluminum surfaces at low temperatures. Conversion coating parts in an unheated facility (ie. a hangar) during colder periods of the year would not be recommended.6.10Paint adhesion:Coated parts should be allowed to dry in accordance with the chemical manufacturer’srecommendation before they are subsequently painted or adhesion failures may occur. Whencoated parts are stored for extensive periods before painting, they should be cleaned in accordance with 3.2 to reactivate the surface by removing dust particles. Excessively thick coatings may result in paint adhesion problems (blistering) due to higher amounts of soluble material under the paint.6.10.1Paint compatibility: Compatibility problems between conversion coatings and certain ChemicalAgent Resistant Coatings (CARC) have been reported.6.11Temperature effects on corrosion protection:Unpainted conversion coatings will commence losing corrosion resistance properties if exposed to temperatures of 60°C (140°F) or above, during drying, subsequent fabrication, or service. Ingeneral, as temperature and exposure times increase, the corrosion protection of unpaintedconversion coated parts decreases. The reduction is believed to result from the coating dehydrating and the resulting insolubility of the chromates within the coating.6.12This paragraph was deleted as it did not pertain to the converted SAE document.6.13Subject term (key word) listing:AluminumAluminum AlloysChemical Conversion CoatingsChromate Conversion CoatingsPREPARED UNDER THE JURISDICTION OF AMS COMMITTEE “B”--``,,``,`````,```,,,`,```,,,``-`-`,,`,,`,`,,`---。

铝材表面硬化处理的方法一、阳极氧化法。
这阳极氧化可神奇啦。
就是把铝材放到特定的电解液里,通上电。
这时候呢,铝材表面就会发生化学反应,形成一层氧化膜。
这层膜可不简单哦,它能让铝材表面变得硬邦邦的。
就像给铝材穿上了一层坚固的铠甲。
而且呀,这层氧化膜还能有不同的颜色呢,可以根据需求让铝材变得既坚硬又好看,像那些彩色的铝门窗框,好多就是经过阳极氧化处理的。
二、硬质阳极氧化法。
这个呀,是阳极氧化法的升级版。
它在特殊的条件下进行阳极氧化,能让形成的氧化膜更厚更硬。
这种方法处理后的铝材,硬度那是相当厉害,耐磨性能超棒。
比如说一些在高磨损环境下使用的铝制零件,像机械加工中的铝制夹具之类的,用硬质阳极氧化法处理后,就能用好久好久呢。
三、化学转化膜法。
这个方法是利用化学药剂和铝材表面反应,生成一层保护膜。
这层膜虽然没有阳极氧化膜那么厚,但也能在一定程度上提高铝材表面的硬度。
而且这种方法相对简单,成本也比较低。
就像给铝材做了个简易的硬化小套餐。
在一些对硬度要求不是特别高,但是又想提高一点铝材表面性能的地方,就可以用这个方法啦。
四、电镀法。
电镀就像是给铝材穿上一层金属外套。
把其他硬度比较高的金属,像铬啊之类的,通过电镀的方式镀到铝材表面。
这样铝材表面就有了高硬度金属的特性。
不过呢,电镀也得做好,要是没处理好,这层金属外套可能会掉哦。
就像穿衣服没穿好,掉链子啦。
但是电镀做好了的话,能让铝材既好看又耐用,像一些铝制的装饰品,就经常会用到电镀来硬化和美化表面呢。
总之呀,不同的铝材表面硬化处理方法都有自己的优缺点,要根据实际的需求和情况来选择合适的方法哦。

金属表面转化膜之一磷化的作用和分类 磷化是一种化学与电化学反应形成磷酸盐化学转化膜的过程,所形成的磷酸盐转化膜称之为磷化膜。磷化的目的主要是:给基体金属提供保护,在一定程度上防止金属被腐蚀;用于涂漆前打底,提高漆膜层的附着力与防腐蚀能力;在金属冷加工工艺中起减摩润滑使用。 金属表面在除油、除锈后,为了防止重新生锈,通常要进行化学处理,使金属表面生成一层保护膜,该膜通常只有几微米,主要起增强涂层和底材附着力的作用,较厚的膜层还能增强防锈性能。常用的表面化学转化方法有氧化、磷化、钝化三种。其中,磷化是化学处理的中心环节,是一种大幅度提高金属工件耐腐蚀能力的简单可靠、费用较低、操作简便的工艺方法,在工业上应用很广。 1、 与磷化工艺相关的标准 金属(主要指钢铁)经含有锌(Zn)、锰(Mn)、铬(Cr)、铁(Fe)等磷酸盐的溶液处理后,在基底金属表面形成一种不溶性磷酸盐膜,此种过程称为磷化。磷化使金属表面形成一层附着良好的保护膜,以磷酸锌为例,在氧化剂的存在下,所生成的磷化膜为Zn(PO)·4H0和ZnFe(PO)·4H0的结晶体。该磷化膜闪烁有光、24422223
灰色多孔(空隙率为表面积的0.5%~1.5%),膜厚通常为0.1—50μm。
关于磷化工艺,我国和国际上都有相应的标准体系,可参照执行: GB/T11376—1997 金属的磷酸盐转化膜 GB/T6807—2001 钢铁工件涂装前磷化处理技术条件 GB/T12612—1990 多功能钢铁表面处理液通用技术条件 ISO 9717—1990 (E)金属的磷酸盐转化膜——确定要求的方法 ISOl0546—1993 (E)化学转化膜——铝及铝合金上的漂洗和不漂洗铬酸盐转化膜 DIN 50942—1973 金属的磷化处理 方法原理、缩写符号和检验方法 ANSI/ASTM/AMS 2480C 涂漆基体磷化处理 2、磷化的作用 磷酸盐转化膜应用于铁、铝、锌、镉及其合金上,既可当作最终精饰 层,也可作为其他覆盖层的中间层,其作用主要有以下方面。.
AZ91D、AZ31两种镁合金表面锡酸盐化学转化膜的
研究中期报告
本研究旨在探究AZ91D和AZ31两种镁合金表面锡酸盐化学转化膜的制备及其性能。
在研究的前期,我们通过浸泡法在两种镁合金表面制备出了锡酸盐化学转化膜,并进行了表面形貌观察和成分分析。
结果显示,制备出的锡酸盐化学转化膜均具有微米级别的厚度,在扫描电子显微镜下可见多孔性结构,主要由SnO2和Mg(OH)2等化合物组成。
在研究的中期,我们进一步对两种镁合金表面的锡酸盐化学转化膜进行了性能测试。
首先,我们对其耐腐蚀性能进行了测试,结果表明锡酸盐化学转化膜能够显著提高两种镁合金的耐腐蚀性能,尤其在NaCl溶液中的耐蚀性能更为突出。
其次,我们还进行了表面硬度测试,发现锡酸盐化学转化膜能够显著提高两种镁合金表面的硬度,其中AZ91D合金的表面硬度提高了约50%。
最后,我们进行了热稳定性测试,结果显示锡酸盐化学转化膜能够在高温条件下保持较好的稳定性。
综上所述,本研究初步验证了锡酸盐化学转化膜能够显著提高两种镁合金表面的耐腐蚀性能、表面硬度和热稳定性。
然而,还需要更加深入的研究探索其制备工艺和优化方法,以期实现其在实际应用中的广泛使用。
