Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of aluminum alloy anodizing coating, and in particular to an aluminum alloy sample anodizing coating device and a coating method. Background Art

[0002] Aluminum alloy anodizing coating refers to placing coating liquid in a container, connecting the sample to the positive pole of a DC regulated power supply through a sample clamp and a wire, and placing a cathode made of a stainless steel plate or a lead plate in the solution, and the cathode is connected to the negative pole of the DC regulated power supply. During the experiment, the DC regulated power supply is turned on at a certain voltage parameter, and the sample is used as an anode to evaporate a layer of anisotropic metal oxide film on its surface. Due to the different orientations of grains and their atomic arrangements, the coating rate of the metal oxide film is different, thereby generating oxide films of different thicknesses on the surfaces of different grains. When the light source passes through the sample and the oxide films of different thicknesses on the surface, birefringence occurs, and each grain obtains polarized light with different interference degrees. At this time, through the polarization mode observation, the grain structure with different brightness and color will be observed, so as to analyze the information such as grain size, grain boundary morphology, grain texture orientation, second phase distribution, and identify defects such as inclusions. However, in the current coating device and coating method, the coating parameters such as voltage and time are manually set during the coating process. These parameters cannot be unified, resulting in many variables in the coating process, making it difficult to accurately control the degree of electrolytic corrosion, thereby affecting the effect of anodizing film formation. Summary of the invention

[0003] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides an anodizing film-making device and method for aluminum alloy specimens, which solidify the coating parameters in the coating process, reduce the variables in the coating process, and only need to control the appropriate coating time in the coating process to obtain a stable oxide film thickness that can obviously reflect the grain orientation, ultimately presenting a good coating effect.

[0037] Comparative Example 1

[0038] The difference between this comparative example and Example 4 is that the current of the DC power supply is set to 0.25A in this comparative example, and the other aspects are the same as those in Example 4.

[0039] Comparative Example 2

[0041] Through Figure 2-9 According to the analysis, the metallographic photographs of Examples 1-6 have obvious contrast and clear grain boundaries, and can clearly show the grain structure; while the metallographic photographs of Comparative Examples 1 and 2 have unclear contrast and cannot clearly show the grain boundaries.

[0042] In addition, it should be noted that different alloys and different states have different corrosion resistance, and the required coating time is also different.

Usually, for cast and aged 2xxx series aluminum alloys, the coating time is 40~50s; for cast and work-hardened 5xxx series aluminum alloys, the coating time is 45~60s; for cast and aged 6xxx series aluminum alloys, the coating time is 50~65s, but the coating time of 6 series rolled plates in the natural aging state is relatively long, which is 90~120s; for cast, solid solution and aged 7xxx series aluminum alloys, the coating time is 30~45s.
