Ninth Edition, January 2003 Reaff i rmed January 2009 The Aluminum Association Designation System for Aluminum Finishes Ninth Edition, January 2003 The many proprietary designations for aluminum finishes can confuse users specifying finishes. To remedy this

12、, the Aluminum Association developed a designation system broad enough to cover all types of finishes currently used on aluminum products and meet future needs as new finishes are developed. These designations are simply a way to name a finish and do not constitute a performance specification. Care

13、must be taken in using these designations as it is possible to create a designation for a finish that is inappropriate or cannot be produced. Almost all finishes used on aluminum may be subdivided into three major categories: 1. Mechanical Finishes 2. Chemical Finishes 3. Coatings When designations

14、for chemical coatings are used alone, it is understood that other processing steps normally used before these finishes are at the option of the processor. Where a finish requires two or more treatments of the same class, the class letter is repeated, each being followed by the appropriate two-digit

15、number. The “Examples of Methods of Finishing“ given in the tables are intended for illustrative purposes and not as specifications. Alternatives to the examples of methods of obtaining a final finish can be used provided that an equivalent finish is produced. Many equipment and process variations a

16、nd limitations exist in the finishing industry that may require modifications of example methods. Designations for specific coatings have been developed for only the first of the five classes listed above - the Anodic Coatings (Table 3). For the present, coatings of the - other four classes may be t

17、entatively designated by the Coatings may be further subdivided into the following respective letters assigned for them (Tables 4 to 7, categories: inclusive). Detailed designations for these four categories Anodic Coatings Resinous and Other Organic Coatings Vitreous Coatings Electroplated and Othe

18、r Metal Coatings Laminated Coatings In the Aluminum Association system, a letter designates mechanical and chemical finishes and each of the five classes of coatings. The various finishes in each class are designated by two-digit numbers. Specific finishes of the various types thus are designated by

19、 a letter followed by a two-digit number as shown in the tables. In the case of Protective and Decorative Anodic Coatings (Table 3), three-digit numbers are used to further define them by minimum coating thickness and weight. Chemical conversion coatings are listed under “Chemical Finishes“ (Table 2

20、) because they are produced by chemical processes and frequently are used as pretreatments with other coatings. A single designation may be used alone for a simple finish, or two or more designations may be combined into a single composite designation to identify a sequence of operations covering al

21、l of the steps leading to a final complex finish. may be developed and added to the system later. System Can Be Expanded If additional finishes require the use of all of the two- digit numbers available in a given group, the system may be expanded by adding a third digit to the numbers. For example,

22、 under Mechanical Finishes - Directional Textured, if new entries are made requiring the use of all the numbers between M35 and M39, the system will be expanded by the use of three-digit numbers M301, M302, etc., as required. This will provide for 99 more designations. While the need for designation

23、s beyond these is not foreseen at present, the system could be expanded still further by adding a fourth digit if necessary. Table 4. Resinous and Other Organic Coatings (R) Designations for these coatings consist of the letter R followed by a two-digit number. The following designations can be used

Vitreous Coatings (Porcelain and Ceramic Types) (V) Designations for these coatings consist of the letter V followed by a two-digit number. The following designations can be

Example 1 - Smooth Specular Finish A smooth specular finish may be obtained by polishing aluminum with an aluminum oxide compound according to the following procedure: begin with grits coarser than 320; follow with 320 grit and a peripheral wheel speed of 30 ds (6,000 Wmin);

30、complete polishing by buffing with tripoli based buffing compound at peripheral speeds of 36 to 41 ds (7,000 to 8,000 Wmin).
