Definitions

  • Aluminum substrates usually have a natural, atmospheric oxide layer with layer thicknesses of a few nanometers.
  • the aluminum substrates are usually pretreated by degreasing and pickling the substrates. Pickling takes place, for example, first with basic alkalis based on sodium hydroxide solution and then with acidic solutions, typically with nitric acid or hydrofluoric acid. The mordants used and the pickling conditions depend on the material properties of the aluminum substrates. Pickling also removes the thin, natural oxide layer.
  • the pores In order to improve the corrosion resistance of aluminum substrates with porous aluminum oxide layers, the pores must be closed, which can be accomplished for example by applying the surface with wax, enamel, insulating varnish, water glass or by compacting the pores.
  • the densification of the pores of the porous aluminum oxide layer is conveniently accomplished in hot, demineralized water.
  • the oxide layer absorbs water, which leads to an increase in volume and, in particular, whereby the pore necks are narrowed or closed.
  • the anodic oxidation takes place during the process according to the invention in an electrolyte which dissolves aluminum oxide in such a way that an anodic oxide layer having a layer thickness of 8 to 25 ⁇ m is formed. It is essential that this anodic aluminum oxide layer before the paint coating either hot water partially compressed or cold-compressed and then hot water partially compacted.
  • the inventive method allows the production of a corrosion-resistant and wear-resistant aluminum substrate with a thick, wear-resistant wear layer of anodized aluminum oxide and a thin, organic or inorganic lacquer layer which can be dried and cured at temperatures of 140 ° C or higher, without being too decorative or functionally impairing layer cracks ('cracking' or 'crazing') in the anodic oxide layer and / or lacquer topcoat comes.
