Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of aluminum alloy surface treatment technology, specifically relating to a wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant hard anodized film layer on aluminum alloy surface and its staged preparation process. Background Technology

[0002] Aluminum alloys have great application potential in marine equipment, aerospace, transportation and building materials decoration, but aluminum alloys themselves have shortcomings in properties such as wear resistance, which greatly limits the application fields of this type of material.

[0003] Aluminum alloys possess excellent properties such as high specific strength, high heat resistance, and high corrosion resistance, leading to their widespread application in marine equipment. However, when used as open-moving components in marine equipment (such as seawater hydraulic transmission systems, offshore helicopter platforms, and drill pipes for oil exploration), aluminum alloys are subjected to long-term seawater corrosion and wear loads. Under the coupled effect of corrosion and wear, the aluminum alloy surface suffers severe damage, significantly impacting the reliability and safety of equipment operation. Hard anodizing of aluminum alloys, forming a dense, corrosion- and wear-resistant protective film on the surface, is an effective way to solve this problem.

[0004] Furthermore, due to their low hardness and poor wear resistance, aerospace aluminum alloys (such as structural components, fasteners, actuators, and transmission components) are prone to wear and scratches under long-term harsh service environments, and are susceptible to failure behaviors such as corrosion, peeling, and cracking, resulting in huge economic losses and posing significant safety hazards to flights. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a protective technology to form a well-bonded, highly dense, and corrosion- and wear-resistant protective film layer on the surface of aluminum alloys to solve the above problems.

[0005] In the transportation sector, lightweighting of vehicles such as automobiles and motorcycles is a significant development trend. Aluminum alloys are widely used in transportation vehicles and their components due to their inherent properties. However, the low hardness and poor wear resistance of conventional aluminum alloys limit their application in vehicles. For example, replacing some cast iron components in an engine with aluminum alloys will cause severe wear on the cylinder walls and piston contact points due to the poor wear resistance of aluminum alloys, significantly reducing engine life. Furthermore, components in rail vehicles, such as brake pads and wheels, are frequently exposed to wear environments; without surface wear-resistant and friction-reducing treatments, the wear rate will increase considerably. These application challenges place higher demands on the wear resistance of aluminum alloys.

[0006] The wear resistance of architectural aluminum alloy profiles is a crucial technical parameter reflecting their resistance to friction and abrasion. Wear resistance primarily refers to a material's ability to resist frictional mechanical forces; it is essentially a reflection of the combined effects of coating hardness, adhesion, and cohesion, directly impacting the service life of the aluminum profile. Therefore, a surface protection technology is urgently needed to improve the corrosion and wear resistance of the aluminum alloy substrate. Summary of the Invention

[0007] The technical problem this invention aims to solve is to address the shortcomings of the prior art by providing a staged preparation process for a wear-resistant hard anodized film on aluminum alloy surfaces. This process employs a staged hard anodizing technique, resulting in a tighter bond between the hard anodized film and the aluminum alloy substrate. This significantly improves the surface hardness of the aluminum alloy and reduces the roughness of the hard anodized film, thereby enhancing the wear and corrosion resistance of the aluminum alloy parts and extending their service life. This solves the application challenges of aluminum alloys in various fields due to their low hardness, poor wear resistance, and poor corrosion resistance.

[0008] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is: a staged preparation process of a wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant hard anodized film layer on the surface of aluminum alloy, characterized in that the process includes the following steps:

[0009] Step 1: The aluminum alloy parts are sequentially degreased, impregnated, brightened, neutralized, ultrasonically cleaned, and dried to obtain clean aluminum alloy parts;

[0010] Step 2: Place the clean aluminum alloy parts obtained in Step 1 into a mixed solution of sulfuric acid, organic acid, complexing agent and glycerol for hard anodizing. Use a staged process to adjust the oxide film formation rate and dissolution time, and use compressed air to stir to form a wear-resistant hard anodized film layer on the surface of the aluminum alloy parts.

[0011] Step 3: Neutralize the aluminum alloy parts with the wear-resistant hard anodized film layer on the surface from Step 2 with dilute ammonia water, and then perform ultrasonic cleaning.

[0012] Step 4: After ultrasonic cleaning in Step 3, the aluminum alloy parts with a wear-resistant hard anodized film layer on the surface are sealed at high temperature and then dried.

[0013] The above-mentioned staged preparation process of wear-resistant hard anodized film layer on aluminum alloy surface is characterized in that the mixed solution of sulfuric acid, organic acid, complexing agent and glycerol in step two comprises: sulfuric acid 180g / L~220g / L, organic acid 5g / L~30g / L, complexing agent 2g / L~10g / L, and glycerol 10g / L~30g / L.

[0014] The above-mentioned staged preparation process of wear-resistant hard anodized film on aluminum alloy surface is characterized in that the organic acid in step two is one or a mixture of two or more of oxalic acid, tartaric acid, malic acid, citric acid and dodecyl sulfonic acid.

[0015] The above-mentioned staged preparation process of wear-resistant hard anodized film on aluminum alloy surface is characterized in that the complexing agent in step two is one or a mixture of two or more of sodium pyrophosphate, triethanolamine and EDTA-2Na.

[0016] This invention further promotes a uniform and fine oxide film on the aluminum alloy surface by adding an appropriate amount of organic acid to the electrolyte used in hard anodizing; on the other hand, it balances the complexing and dissociation effects during hard anodizing by adding a complexing agent. The synergistic effect of these two methods reduces the surface roughness of the hard anodized film, significantly increases its surface hardness, and improves its wear and corrosion resistance.

[0017] The aforementioned staged preparation process of the wear-resistant hard anodized film layer on the aluminum alloy surface is characterized in that the staged process in step two is as follows: Stage one, the voltage is increased to 14V and held constant for 5 minutes; Stage two, the current density is controlled to be 0.5A / dm² based on the area S of the aluminum alloy part. 2 ~1A / dm 2 The current I1 is calculated, then adjusted to I1 and kept constant for 20 minutes. The voltage at this time is recorded as U1. In the third stage, the voltage is adjusted to U2 and kept constant for 10 minutes, with U2:U1 = 3:2. In the fourth stage, based on the area S of the aluminum alloy part, the current density is controlled to 2A / dm². 2 ~4A / dm 2 The current I2 is calculated, and then adjusted to I2 and kept constant for 30 minutes. This invention adjusts the growth and dissolution time of the hard anodized layer through a staged process, so that the hard anodized layer has high adhesion, low roughness and high hardness, thereby improving its wear and corrosion resistance.

[0018] The above-mentioned staged preparation process of wear-resistant hard anodized film on aluminum alloy surface is characterized in that the mass concentration of dilute ammonia water in step three is 3%, and the ultrasonic cleaning is deionized water cleaning for 10 minutes.

[0019] The above-mentioned staged preparation process of wear-resistant hard anodized film on aluminum alloy surface is characterized in that the high-temperature sealing in step four is to soak in nickel acetate solution at 90°C for 30 minutes, and then wash with deionized water; the drying treatment is to blow dry with compressed air.

[0020] In addition, the present invention also discloses a wear-resistant hard anodized film layer on the surface of aluminum alloy prepared by the process described above.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0022] 1. This invention employs a hard anodizing method to prepare a hard anodized film layer in situ on the surface of a treated, smooth, and clean aluminum alloy part. By adopting a staged process, the generation and dissolution time of the oxide film layer during the hard anodizing process are effectively controlled, thereby adjusting the generation rate of the oxide film layer, greatly reducing the roughness of the hard anodized film layer. Furthermore, the hard anodized film layer is tightly bonded to the aluminum alloy part substrate, significantly improving the surface hardness of the aluminum alloy part. As a result, the hard anodized film layer has high adhesion, low roughness, and high hardness characteristics, improving the wear and corrosion resistance of titanium alloys and increasing their service life.

[0023] 2. This invention uses a staged hard anodizing process to increase the surface hardness of aluminum alloy parts to over 470 HV and reduce the roughness of the hard anodized film to a minimum of 0.21, significantly improving the wear and corrosion resistance of aluminum alloys. It has good application prospects in aerospace and marine equipment, transportation and other fields.

[0024] 3. This invention uses a hard anodizing method, which places aluminum alloy parts in a mixed solution, i.e., an electrolyte, for oxidation. This achieves uniform overall treatment of large-sized and irregularly shaped aluminum alloy parts, improves the uniformity of the hard anodized film, and is simple, economical and convenient.

[0025] 4. In the hard anodizing process, the present invention introduces compressed air into the electrolyte for stirring, which can effectively reduce the concentration gradient and temperature gradient at the interface between the aluminum alloy parts and the electrolyte solution, making the current distribution more uniform and improving the uniformity of the hard anodized film.

[0026] 5. This invention generates an oxide film in situ on the surface of aluminum alloy parts as a wear-resistant film layer through hard anodizing. The reaction cycle is short and the application range is wide.

[0027] The technical solution of the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. Attached Figure Description
