Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of aluminum surface treatment technology, specifically to the surface treatment process of corrosion-resistant, ultra-hard aerospace aluminum materials. Background Technology

[0002] In the aerospace industry, ultra-hard aerospace aluminum, due to its high strength and low density, has become an important material for manufacturing key components such as aircraft structural parts and skin. With the continuous development of aerospace technology, the service requirements for aircraft in various complex environments are increasingly stringent. Especially in harsh environments such as marine climates, high humidity, and strong ultraviolet radiation, aluminum surfaces are highly susceptible to corrosion, thus affecting aircraft safety and service life. Therefore, effective surface treatment of corrosion-resistant ultra-hard aerospace aluminum to improve its corrosion resistance and overall performance has become one of the key technologies in the aerospace manufacturing field.

[0003] However, current surface treatment methods have the following problems: 1. Shortcomings of Traditional Anodizing: Traditional anodizing is a common method for surface treatment of aerospace aluminum materials, improving corrosion resistance by forming an oxide film on the aluminum surface. However, this method has some problems. For example, the oxide film has high porosity, allowing corrosive media such as chloride ions and water molecules to easily penetrate the substrate through the pores during long-term service, leading to film peeling and substrate corrosion. Taking the aluminum alloy skin of a certain type of aircraft as an example, after traditional anodizing treatment, localized corrosion spots appeared on the surface after a period of flight in coastal areas. Further inspection revealed pitting corrosion in the substrate under the oxide film, severely affecting the structural strength and appearance of the skin.

[0004] 2. Coating-substrate adhesion issues: In some surface treatment processes, such as spraying organic coatings, insufficient adhesion between the coating and the aluminum substrate is a common problem. Because a dense oxide film easily forms on the aluminum surface, improper pretreatment can prevent the coating from bonding firmly to the substrate. During aircraft flight, factors such as vibration and temperature changes can cause the coating to peel or crack, thus losing its protective function for the substrate.

[0005] 3. Challenges posed by environmental protection requirements: With increasingly stringent environmental regulations, some agents containing heavy metals and volatile organic compounds used in traditional surface treatment processes are subject to restrictions. For example, in the electroless nickel plating process, the commonly used reducing agent sodium hypophosphite generates phosphorus-containing wastewater, which can pollute the environment if not properly treated. Furthermore, some anodizing processes using sulfuric acid, chromic acid, and other agents also require strict wastewater treatment, increasing production costs and environmental pressure.

[0006] Based on the above, a surface treatment process for corrosion-resistant, ultra-hard aerospace aluminum materials is invented. Summary of the Invention
