DIN EN 15646:2009-07 EN 15646:2009 (E) 5 Introduction Electroplating of aluminium and aluminium alloy coatings provides several advantages: coating temperature (approximately 80 C to 100 C); no hydrogen emb

21、rittlement due to the electrodeposition of aluminium. Prevention of hydrogen embrittlement results from the (process) technology of electroplating, because it is conducted in aprotic, organic solvents, in which the aluminium is dissolved as an aluminium-organic complex. To protect these electroplati

22、ng solutions from humidity (water) and air oxygen, the electroplating of aluminium is performed under an inert gas atmosphere of nitrogen or argon. For anodic material aluminium is used, which has a purity of 99,7 %. During electroplating of aluminium a purification (electrolytic refining) takes pla

23、ce, which results in an aluminium coating with a purity of 99,99 % Al percentage by mass. The high level of purity of the aluminium forms the basis for corrosion protection. The corrosion protection of the aluminium coating can be increased by common procedures of aluminium after-treatment, e.g. con

24、version coatings. The corrosion behaviour in chlorine-containing media is based on the fact that pure aluminium has a low self-corrosion because the aluminium is passivated by a thin oxide layer due to air oxygen. The oxide layer of the pure-aluminium coating is stable in the pH range from 4,0 to 8,

25、5. Corrosion damage does not result in voluminous corrosion products. The electrodeposited aluminium coatings cathodically protect iron materials. However, polarization effects in chlorine-free media, e.g. condensed water, may result in an anodic protective behaviour in such electrolytes. This effec

26、t can be reduced by alloying, for example, zinc or magnesium to the aluminium. Due to low dissolution current densities and extensive freedom of pores, the coatings can be suitable as galvanic corrosion protection on less reactive (more precious) materials like stainless steels and copper alloys. Fo

27、r adhesion reasons the application of a nickel strike may become necessary. High ductility of the coatings allows an extreme deformation of the work pieces in the electroplated state. The European Committee for Standardization (CEN) draws attention to the fact that it is claimed that compliance with

28、 this document may involve the use of a patent concerning the use of individual electrolyte (electroplating solution) formulations to electrodeposit aluminium and/or aluminium alloys as given in Subclause 3.2 and Annex C.
