Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of metal surface treatment and relates to a method for removing an over-aged film layer of aluminum alloy chemical oxidation. Background Art

[0002] As an important surface treatment technology, aluminum alloy chemical oxidation technology has a wide range of applications. It is not only often used as an effective base layer for organic polymer spraying on the surface of aluminum alloy to enhance the bonding strength between the coating and the substrate and the overall performance of the coating, but can also be used directly as the final coating of aluminum alloy to provide the necessary protection and decorative functions for aluminum alloy products. This chemical oxidation film layer has the characteristics of thin thickness (usually between 0.125 and 1.000 microns) and strong adhesion, and can resist the erosion of the external environment to a certain extent. However, with the passage of time and changes in the use environment, the aluminum alloy chemical oxidation film layer may age due to various factors such as long-term storage and high-temperature baking. After aging, the key properties of the film layer, such as corrosion resistance and bonding strength, may change, and sometimes even improve performance, but more often the performance decreases, resulting in a weakened bonding effect of the aluminum alloy substrate on the coating.

[0003] When the aluminum alloy oxide film ages to a certain extent and no longer meets the requirements of use, it needs to be removed. Traditional chemical corrosion methods for removing the film, such as alkaline corrosion and pickling, can achieve the removal of the film to a certain extent, but there are many shortcomings. For example, the corrosion rates of these methods on the same workpiece are often uneven, which makes it difficult to completely remove the film in some areas, while other areas may damage the substrate due to excessive corrosion. Especially for the over-aged aluminum alloy oxide film, due to its more complex structure and poorer stability, traditional methods require longer corrosion to remove it. However, in this way, it is easy to cause excessive corrosion of the substrate due to excessive corrosion time, which in turn causes the workpiece to be scrapped, bringing unnecessary economic losses to the company. Therefore, it is particularly important and urgent to find a new removal method that can effectively remove the aged aluminum alloy oxide film and avoid excessive corrosion of the substrate. Summary of the invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to solve the technical problem of excessive corrosion caused by traditional removal methods of aluminum alloy chemical oxidation aged film in the prior art, and to provide a method for removing aluminum alloy chemical oxidation excessive aged film.

[0005] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions: In a first aspect, the present invention discloses a method for removing an over-aged film layer of an aluminum alloy chemically oxidized, comprising the following steps: The aluminum alloy sample with an aged film layer is used as an anode, placed in an electrolytic cell and an electrolyte is added, and the electrochemical workstation parameters are set to electrochemically dissolve the aluminum alloy sample to obtain a loose and porous aluminum alloy sample with an aged film layer; Putting the loose and porous aged film layer aluminum alloy sample into a chemical etching solution for chemical etching to obtain a corroded aluminum alloy sample; The corroded aluminum alloy sample is placed in a polishing liquid, and after the polishing treatment, it is taken out, rinsed and blown dry to complete the removal of the over-aged film layer of the aluminum alloy chemical oxidation.

[0006] Further improvements are: Before the aluminum alloy sample is electrochemically dissolved, it is mounted and ultrasonically degreased; the mounting adopts aluminum or titanium hangers to fasten the workpiece.

[0007] The ultrasonic degreasing is specifically: Immerse the mounted aluminum alloy sample with an aged film layer in a 3% to 5% metal cleaning agent aqueous solution at 30°C to 40°C, turn on the ultrasonic cleaning machine, and clean it for 3 min to 5 min. After cleaning, use tap water to clean the metal cleaning agent aqueous solution on the sample.

[0008] The electrolyte is a sulfuric acid solution with a concentration of 200g / L-250g / L; after the electrochemical dissolution is completed, the obtained loose and porous aged film layer aluminum alloy sample is taken out and rinsed with deionized water.

[0009] The parameters of the electrochemical workstation are: current density of 1.5A / dm²-2.5A / dm², voltage of 14V-20V at room temperature; the time of the electrochemical dissolution is 2min-5min.

[0010] The chemical etching solution is a mixed solution of 35g / L-45g / L sodium hydroxide solution, 20g / L-30g / L sodium carbonate solution and 20g / L-30g / L sodium fluoride solution.

[0011] When performing the chemical etching, a magnetic stirrer is used to keep the chemical etching solution uniform.

[0012] The temperature of the chemical etching is controlled between 35° C. and 45° C., and the etching time is controlled between 60s and 120s.

[0013] The light emitting liquid is a mixed solution of 500ml / L-700ml / L nitric acid solution and 20ml / L-30ml / L sulfuric acid solution.

[0014] The light extraction treatment is carried out at room temperature, and the treatment time does not exceed 8 minutes.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: The invention discloses a method for removing an over-aged film layer of aluminum alloy chemically oxidized. The method first makes the aged film layer loose and porous through electrochemical dissolution pretreatment. This step can effectively promote the penetration and reaction of the subsequent chemical corrosion liquid to the film layer, thereby significantly improving the efficiency of removing the film layer. At the same time, the uniformity of the electrochemical dissolution ensures the uniformity of the subsequent corrosion process, avoiding the problem of uneven corrosion rate in the traditional method. Due to the combined use of electrochemical dissolution and chemical corrosion, the film removal process can be more accurately controlled, avoiding the over-corrosion of parts caused by long-term corrosion. This not only protects the aluminum alloy substrate, but also ensures the dimensional accuracy and surface quality of the parts after the film layer is removed, meeting higher quality requirements. The method combines the dual effects of electrochemistry and chemical corrosion, and through reasonable step design and parameter setting, realizes the effective removal of the over-aged film layer of aluminum alloy chemically oxidized, while simplifying the complex steps in the traditional removal process, and improving the operability and stability of the overall process. Compared with traditional alkaline corrosion and pickling methods, the chemical corrosion solution (a mixed solution of sodium hydroxide solution, sodium carbonate solution and sodium fluoride solution) used in this method may have a lower environmental pollution risk, and the electrochemical dissolution process can effectively reduce the amount of chemical reagents used, which is in line with the current development trend of green manufacturing and energy conservation and emission reduction.

[0016] Furthermore, a sulfuric acid solution with a concentration of 200g / L-250g / L is used as the electrolyte, combined with a current density of 1.5A / dm²-2.5A / dm² and a voltage of 14V-20V at room temperature, and an electrochemical dissolution time of 2min-5min, which can quickly make the aged film layer loose and porous, providing a good pretreatment effect for subsequent chemical corrosion. This combination of electrochemical dissolution and chemical corrosion not only improves the removal efficiency, but also achieves precise control of the removal process, avoiding the problem of over-corrosion caused by long-term corrosion in traditional methods. The chemical corrosion solution is a mixture of 35g / L-45g / L sodium hydroxide solution, 20g / L-30g / L sodium carbonate solution and 20g / L-30g / L sodium fluoride solution. These components work synergistically to effectively accelerate the dissolution of the aged film layer. At the same time, a magnetic stirrer is used to keep the chemical corrosion solution uniform, ensuring the uniformity and consistency of the corrosion process. The temperature of chemical corrosion is controlled between 35℃-45℃, and the corrosion time is controlled between 60s-120s, which further optimizes the corrosion conditions and improves the removal efficiency and quality. The combination of electrochemical dissolution and chemical corrosion not only achieves the effective removal of the aged film layer, but also protects the aluminum alloy substrate to the maximum extent and avoids damage to the substrate caused by excessive corrosion. In addition, the light treatment step uses a mixture of 500ml / L-700ml / L nitric acid solution and 20ml / L-30ml / L sulfuric acid solution at room temperature for no more than 8 minutes, which further removes the residue and improves the finish and quality of the aluminum alloy surface.

[0056] The working principle of the present invention is as follows: Electrochemical anodic dissolution of the aged film layer loosens the aged film layer and produces pores. Combined with chemical corrosion to remove the loose film layer, the aged film layer can be removed while minimizing damage to the substrate.

[0057] Electrochemical dissolution treatment is based on the principle of electrochemistry. The aluminum alloy workpiece is used as the anode and placed in an electrolyte solution for power treatment. The aged chemical oxide film layer is loosened by electrolysis and electrolyte solution dissolution. Under the action of a strong external electric field, the aged oxide film layer is transformed into a porous oxide due to electrical breakdown and electrolyte solution dissolution. O2- migrates to the interface between the aluminum matrix and the oxide film, while Al3+ migrates to the interface between the oxide film and the solution. The migration of O2 fills the volume vacated by the consumption of the metal, allowing a new active layer to grow under the aged oxide film. As the reaction proceeds, the gaps in the aged film layer become larger and larger, making the aged oxide film loose and porous. After this step is completed, chemical corrosion is immediately carried out. The porous and loose film layer is easier to dissolve, and then light treatment is carried out to complete the removal of the aged film layer of the aluminum alloy chemical oxidation.

[0058] The oxide film generated by the electrochemical dissolution process is approximately 1-2μm, the aged film thickness is 0.125-1μm, and the total thickness is no more than 3μm. It will be corroded in the subsequent chemical corrosion process. The corroded film layer is thin and has little effect on the mechanical dimensions of the parts.

[0059] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. For those skilled in the art, the present invention may have various modifications and variations. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
