17、an electrochemical process voltage controlled allowing to transform the metal surface in an microporous oxide layer made of alumina. The aim of this treatment is to ensure a protection against the corrosion, and/or to be used as an adhesion base before bonding or before painting. This anodizing is g
18、enerally sealed for protection corrosion application (with or without painting or bonding) and can stay unsealed when the part is bonded or painted. This specification is applicable on aluminium and aluminium alloys generally on single parts. Hard anodizing and plasma electrolytic anodizing dedicate
19、d to wear protection are not covered by this specification. 3.1 Applicability 3.1.1 Type A: unsealed anodizing It shall be used either as surface preparation before the application of painting/ bonding or any other finishing. 3.1.2 Type B: sealed anodizing It is intended for corrosion protection. It
20、 shall be with or without dyeing and used with or without additional painting. See Table 1.

Anodizing shall not be applied: in electric conductivity zones/areas; for tubes, pipes and open ho
23、les with a length to diameter ratio higher than 10:1 (unless using specific cathode); 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 treatment solutions; for components which can permanently e
24、ntrap treatment solutions, except components that can be adequately masked. NOTE The formation of oxide layer influences the dimensions of the part and shall be considered for close tolerance parts. 4 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.
25、 4.1 de-anodizing process, which removes the anodic oxide 4.2 smut precipitations of alloying elements (e. g. Cu, Fe, Zn, Si) on the surface of parts after a process step normally after alkaline etching step 4.3 Mechanically Disturbed Layer MDL Layer that is present at the surface resulting from the
26、 rolling process of the material 4.4 pit surface corrosion defect at which the anodic coating is penetrated. Typical characteristics of corrosion pits are: rounded or irregular or elongated geometry, comet tail or line or halo that emerges from the cavity, some corrosion by-products inside pits (on
27、aluminium test samples the by-product may be granular, powdery or amorphous and white, grey or black in colour). To be considered as a corrosion pit, a surface cavity must exhibit at least two of the above characteristics. 4.5 process instruction document that describes the application scopes, detai

29、 step after complete de-anodizing 4.8 sealing chromate free sealing (of the anodized layers) is applied to close the pores produced by the acid anodizing process. It is usually applied in hot demineralized water bath with or without additives at different temperatures. Sealing improves the corrosion
