Problems solved by technology

However, the process requires pretreatment, anodizing, sealing and other steps, the process is complicated and takes a long time
In addition, the thicker oxide film layer is brittle and hard, which is not conducive to the bending process of the subsequent refrigerator freezer production process, and the joints between copper and aluminum are prone to leakage
Patents CN1683590 and CN1811014 propose a chromium-free process flow with titanium salt and fluoride as the main body, but the processing time is still long and the effect is not ideal

Abstract

The invention relates to a non-chromium passivation technique and passivation solution of an aluminum pipe. The aluminum pipe is used for evaporators of ice refrigerators and ice chests. The invention belongs to the aluminum material surface treatment technical field. The invention aims at promoting the corrosion resistance of the aluminum pipe for evaporators of ice refrigerator and ice chest, etc. The continuous extrusion shape aluminum pipe is cooled off and quickly passivated in the passivation solution under the temperature from 20 DEG C to 90 DEG C. A tier of passivated film is formed on the surface of the aluminum pipe through airing and solidifying. The passivation solution contains passivant alkyl phosphate ester. The mass concentration of the passivant alkyl phosphate ester is from 1 percent to 15 percent. The mass concentration of the silane coupler is from 0.1 percent to 0.5 percent. The mass concentration of the sodium silicate is from 0.01 percent to 0.15 percent. The rest of the passivation solution is water. The passivated aluminum pipe is dried through wind under 20 DEG C to 60 DEG C and packed through the turn plate. The technique of the invention has the advantages of simple process, low cost and high speed, and the corrosion resistance of the passivated aluminum pipe is greatly promoted, and pharmaceuticals and passivation process has the performance of safety and environmental protection.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of surface treatment of metal materials, in particular to a chrome-free passivation process and passivation solution for aluminum tubes used in evaporators of refrigerators and freezers Background technique [0002] The evaporator is a heat exchange device commonly used in household refrigerators and plays a vital role in the operation of refrigerators or freezers. Due to price and other reasons, traditional copper tube evaporators are mostly replaced by aluminum tube evaporators. Compared with copper tubes, aluminum tubes have the advantages of light weight and low cost. However, the natural oxide layer on the surface of aluminum is very thin and has poor corrosion resistance. During the processing and use of refrigerators and freezers, due to environmental and other reasons, aluminum tubes will be corroded and perforated, resulting in refrigerant leakage. Since the aluminum tube of the refrigerator freezer evapor...
