26、s TSA process is an electrochemical process used for generating an aluminium oxide layer for corrosion protection and surface treatment prior to application of a corrosion-inhibiting primer. The TSA process is characterized by using an electrolyte composed of tartaric and sulphuric acid. Suitable su

27、rface preparation steps, e. g. alkaline cleaning, alkaline etching, acidic pickling/desmutting and subsequent steps such as rinsing (and sealing, if applicable), have to be defined and are integral to the TSA process.

28、e the anodic film such as forming, or heat-treatment shall be performed prior to surface preparation of the parts to be anodized. TSA anodizing shall not be applied: for metal bonding applications; inside of oxygen pipes; for tubes, pipes and open holes with a length to diameter ratio higher than 10

29、:1; for trapped holes with a length to a diameter ratio greater than 5:1; for parts or assemblies (e.g. spot-welded and riveted), which can permanently entrap; for components which can permanently entrap treatment solutions, except components that can be adequately masked. NOTE The formation of oxid

30、e layer influences the dimensions of the part and should be considered for close tolerance parts. 5 Requirements 5.1 Technical requirements 5.1.1 Prior to anodizing step: the parts shall be free of oil, grease, marking inks and other surface contaminations; the surface shall be free from precipitati

31、ons or smut from alloying elements or pre-processes indicated by the bright and uniform appearance of the surface; parts/areas that do not require anodizing shall be masked accordingly; mechanically disturbed layer shall be removed either by mechanical or chemical processes; in case of chemical pre-

32、treatment, the final step prior to anodizing shall be acidic pickling, preferably chromate-free; in case of re-anodizing all residuals from the previous anodizing shall be completely removed. 5.1.2 During the anodizing process: the parts shall not be subjected to any tensile, flexure, torsion or oth

33、er stress; the process shall performed such, that parts do not dry between single process steps (pre-treatment, anodizing, etc.). BS EN 4704:2012EN 4704:2012 (E) 7 5.1.3 After the anodizing procedure: parts have to be adequately rinsed with water according to 5.1.4; afterwards, the parts shall be ei

34、ther: dried and painted within 16 h.
