5、seding AMS2470M Anodic Treatment of Aluminum Alloys Chromic Acid Process RATIONALE This specification was issued as a result of the SAE Five Year Review process. ORDERING INFORMATION: The following information shall be provided to the processor by the purchaser. 1) Purchase order shall specify not l
6、ess than the following: AMS2470N Basis metal to be anodized Required color, if dyed Special features, geometry or processing present on parts that requires special attention by the processor Quantity of pieces to be anodized 2) Parts manufacturing operations such as heat treating, forming, joining a
7、nd media finishing can affect the condition of the substrate and adversely affect the finished part. The sequencing of these types of operations should be specified by the cognizant engineering organization or purchaser and is not controlled by this specification. 1. SCOPE 1.1 Purpose This specifica
8、tion establishes the requirements for anodic coatings on aluminum alloys. 1.2 Application This process has been used typically to increase corrosion resistance and to provide surfaces which will promote adherence of paint and other organic finishes, and has been found useful for assemblies which hav
9、e faying surfaces and/or which may trap electrolyte, but usage is not limited to such applications. 1.2.1 This process is primarily applicable to aluminum and aluminum alloy parts which have nominal copper content not greater than 5% by weight or total nominal alloy content not greater than 7.5% by
10、weight, AMS2471 being recommended for parts having higher alloy content. Coating may be dyed if specified, but AMS2472 is recommended where a colored finish is required.

TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS 3.1 Solutions 3.
17、1.1 Electrolyte The electrolyte shall be an aqueous chromic acid solution. Use of surfactants and anti-misting additives shall be approved by the cognizant engineering organization before processing If surfactants have been approved for use and if anodized parts are to be subsequently adhesively bon
18、ded, purchaser shall notify processor of the need to perform the adhesive bond verification test of 3.4.3. 3.1.2 Dye, when used, shall be as required to produce the specified color. SAE AMS2470N Page 3 of 8 3.1.3 Sealer Unless otherwise permitted, the sealer shall be water of suitable purity and con

20、 iron, such as steel wool, iron oxide rouge, or steel wire, which may become embedded in the metal and accelerate subsequent corrosion, are prohibited. 3.2.2 Masking Areas where anodizing is prohibited shall be masked. 3.2.3 Tight electrical contact shall be maintained during the anodic treatment, t
21、o prevent contact arcing (burning) of parts, but small irregularities of coating at points of electrical contact are acceptable. For parts which are to be anodized all over, contact locations shall be acceptable to purchaser. For parts which are not to be anodized all over, locations shall be in are
22、as on which anodize is not required. 3.3 Procedure: 3.3.1 Anodizing The cleaned parts shall be made the anode(s) in the electrolyte contained in a suitable chemical-resistant tank which may also serve as the cathode. The processing shall be adjusted to obtain the required weight and quality of the c
23、oatings. The rate of increase of the voltage shall be maintained within a range of 2 V/min of the nominal value, and the anodizing voltage shall be maintained within 2 V of the nominal value. After anodizing, parts shall be rinsed thoroughly in water at ambient temperature and sealed (See 3.3.3) unl
24、ess dyeing (See 3.3.2) or other treatment is specified. 3.3.2 Dyeing Parts shall be dyed, when specified, to the color required by immersing in an appropriate dye solution. The anodic coating shall not be allowed to dry before dyeing. The temperature of the solution and the time of immersion shall b
25、e as necessary to produce the specified color. Either the parts or the solution shall be agitated during immersion. Parts shall then be rinsed in clean water at ambient temperature. 3.3.3 Sealing Parts shall be immersed in the sealant solution for a suitable time and temperature (See 8.2.11 and 8.2.
26、12), then rinsed. The rinse shall be thorough, but slight staining resulting from the sealant solution is acceptable. Rinsing is not required if reagent water (ASTM D 1193 Type IV) is used for sealing. 3.4 Properties Coated parts shall conform to the following requirements: SAE AMS2470N Page 4 of 8
27、3.4.1 Coating Weight The coating weight (See 4.3.2.1), determined in accordance with ASTM B 137, shall be not less than 200 milligrams/square foot (2 g/m2) on parts which are not to be dyed, and not less than 500 milligrams/square foot (5 g/m2) on parts which are to be dyed. 3.4.1.1 If small parts,
28、such as rivets or machine screws, are anodized in bulk in a container, the specified coating weight shall apply to not less than 75% of the parts treated together, determined by random sampling, but in no case shall any part show uncoated areas. 3.4.2 Corrosion Resistance Panels (See 4.3.2.2) shall
29、meet the following requirements, determined after exposure for not less than 336 hours to salt spray corrosion test in accordance with ASTM B 117, except that the significant surface shall be inclined 6 degrees from the vertical. The five test panels shall show not more than a total of 15 isolated c
30、orrosion pits, none larger than 1/32 inch (0.8mm) in diameter, in a total of 150 sq.inches (968 sq cm) of test area. Individual test panels shall show no more than 5 isolated corrosion pits, none larger than 1/32 inch (0.8mm) in diameter, in a total of 30 sq. inches (194 sq cm). (See 8.7 for definit
31、ion of corrosion pit morphology) Areas within 1/16 inch (1.6 mm) of identification markings or of an edge, or at electrode contact marks, shall not be included. 3.4.2.1 Panels which are acceptable to the criteria of 3.4.2 but which exhibit patchy dark gray areas (spots, streaks, or marks) with a whi
32、te chalky film on the surface shall be examined at 10X magnification. Pits, if discovered, shall be added to those found with the unaided eye and the acceptance criteria reapplied. 3.4.3 Adhesive Bond Verification Test When an anti-misting agent or surfactant is used as in 3.1.1, the effect of such
33、agents on adhesive bond strength shall be determined in accordance with ASTM D 3762, using panels primed and adhesively bonded with materials and procedures acceptable to purchaser. Test panels shall be conditioned by exposure to 100% RH at a temperature of 100 F 5 (49 C 3) for 60 minutes, minimum.
34、Crack growth in excess of 0.25 inch (6.4 mm) or any evidence of adhesion failure at the anodize/primer interface shall be cause for failure. 3.5 Touch Up Parts on which the anodic coating has been scratched or damaged superficially may be coated using AMS2473 or another method acceptable to the cogn
35、izant engineering organization. Touch-up, unless otherwise specified, shall not exceed 0.5 inches (13 mm) in its longest dimension, except that scratches that are essentially one dimensional (less than 0.03 inch (0.8 mm) wide) may be reworked. The total reworked area shall not exceed 5% of the total
36、 surface area. 3.6 Quality 3.6.1 Anodic coating, as received by purchaser, shall be continuous, smooth, adherent, and uniform in appearance, and shall be free from powdery areas, loose films, discontinuities, such as breaks or scratches (except at contact points), or other damage or imperfections de
37、trimental to usage of the coating. Slight discoloration from dripping, bleedout or rundown of the anodize or sealing solution from joints and recesses shall be acceptable 3.6.2 Parts sealed in sodium dichromate solution may have a characteristic yellow color, and those sealed in nickel acetate solut
38、ion may have a characteristic gray-green color. Slight variations in color between cast and machined surfaces, between welds and adjacent areas, due to grain size or grain flow variations, or due to variation in alloy composition from lot to lot, are acceptable.
