Most aluminum alloy materials contain more than 90% aluminum, and aluminum is a relatively active metal. This silver-white light metal has good ductility, that is to say, we can easily put the raw materials Shape it into what you want.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The melting point of aluminum is not high in metals, about 660\u00b0C, while the boiling point reaches 2327\u00b0C. In other words, the difficulty of keeping aluminum in a liquid state is not very high, which provides natural conditions for aluminum to be widely used in the foundry industry. The development of the surface treatment process of aluminum alloy castings can perfectly make up for this short board, so that aluminum alloy die castings have a broader space in the application level. There are many methods for surface treatment of aluminum alloy die castings. According to different alloy materials and different uses of castings, an appropriate surface treatment method can be selected. Among the many surface treatment processes of aluminum alloy castings, the most widely used one is anodizing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Anodic oxidation treatment is the use of electrochemical methods. In a suitable electrolyte, the alloy parts are used as the anode, and the stainless steel, chromium, or conductive electrolyte itself is used as the cathode. Under certain voltage and current conditions, the anode is oxidized, thereby The process of obtaining an anodized film on the surface of the workpiece requires anodic oxidation with sulfuric acid in the anodic oxidation coloring process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Cast aluminum alloys and die castings generally contain high silicon content, and the anodic oxide film is dark in color, and it is impossible to obtain a colorless and transparent oxide film. With the increase of silicon content, the color of the anodic oxide film varies from light gray to Dark gray to dark gray. Cast aluminum alloys are therefore not suitable for anodizing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n One is aluminum-silicon alloy, mainly including YL102 (ADC1, A413.0, etc.), YL104 (ADC3, A360); the second is aluminum-silicon-copper alloy, mainly including YL112 (A380, ADC10), YL113 (A383, ADC12), YL117 ( B390, ADC14); The third is aluminum-magnesium alloys, mainly including 302 (5180, ADC5, ADC6).<\/p>\n\n\n\n For aluminum-silicon alloys and aluminum-silicon-copper alloys, as the name suggests, silicon and copper are the main components besides aluminum; usually, the silicon content is between 6-12%, which mainly plays a role in improving the fluidity of the alloy liquid The content of copper is second only, mainly to enhance the strength and tensile force; the content of iron is usually between 0.7-1.2%, within this ratio, the demoulding effect of the workpiece is the best.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It can be seen from its composition that it is impossible for this type of alloy to be oxidized and colored, and it is difficult to achieve the desired effect even if desiliconization is used. However, for aluminum-silicon alloys or aluminum alloys with higher copper content, it is difficult to form an oxide film, and the formed film is dark, gray and has poor gloss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The oxide film of aluminum-magnesium alloy is easy to form, the quality of the film is also better, and it can be oxidized and colored. This is an important feature that distinguishes it from other alloys; but comparatively speaking, there are also some shortcomings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The anodized film has duality, and the pores are large and unevenly distributed, making it difficult to achieve the best anti-corrosion effect; In summary, it can be seen that sulfuric acid anodization is not suitable for common die-casting aluminum alloys; however, not all die-casting aluminum alloys cannot achieve the purpose of oxidation and coloring, such as Al-Mn-Co alloy DM32, Al-Mn-Mg alloy DM6, etc. Excellent die casting performance and oxidation performance.<\/p>\n\n\n Die-casting aluminum can be anodized, and the composition of die-casting aluminum is 97% aluminum, and does not contain silicon. Ordinary aluminum alloy materials such as ADC12, A380 and other materials contain silicon elements above 11, so they cannot be anodized. However, if the silicon content of the aluminum alloy raw material of the new material is less than 0.3, it can be die-casted, and anodized in various colors after forming.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Die-casting parts can complete the structure, edges and corners, and oxidation quality that are difficult to achieve for forging parts, car parts\/CNC parts, and the quality of the die-casting parts is very important. A small change and detailed process control determine the quality of the anode. . Manufacturers engaged in the oxidation of die castings must scientifically control the runner technology, die casting process and post-processing methods of the mold. With this series of strict control processes, the smooth production of oxidation quality can be guaranteed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Most aluminum alloy materials contain more than 90% aluminum, and aluminum is a relatively active metal.

The commonly used die-cast aluminum alloys can be divided into three categories:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
Al-Si Alloy, Al-Si-Cu Alloy<\/h5>\n\n\n\n
Al-Mg Alloy<\/h5>\n\n\n\n
Magnesium has a tendency to produce hardening and brittleness, reduce elongation, and increase hot cracking, such as ADC5 and ADC6. In production, because of its wide solidification range and large shrinkage tendency, shrinkage porosity and cracks often occur, and the casting performance is extremely poor. , therefore, there are relatively large limitations in its scope of use, and workpieces with slightly complex structures are not suitable for production at all;
The aluminum-magnesium alloy commonly used in the market, due to its complex composition and low purity of aluminum, it is difficult to produce a transparent protective film during anodic oxidation with sulfuric acid.<\/p>\n\n\n\ncan you anodize die cast aluminum\uff1f<\/h3>\n
