Alodine Surface Finishing for CNC Machining Parts
Before we have received a lot of inquiries from Israel customers for different ideas and inventions of the parts. But they have a common feature: these products need to be Alodine surface treatment. Whether you have encountered these similar customers or not recently. What’s Alodine surface finishing for CNC machining parts. Why do they need to use Alodine surface finishing, what’s its purpose and functions?
Good surface finishing is crucial to the external parts. We may encounter many different surface treatment methods for CNC Machining parts in the previous production process. Such as Anodizing, Plating, Painting, Coating, etc. Today, we will share: Alodine surface finishing for CNC machining parts.
What’s Alodine Surface Finishing for CNC machining parts?
Alodine anodizing is a kind of aluminum alloy surface treatment, which is mainly used to improve the corrosion resistance of aluminum alloy structure and the adhesion ability of the primer. It is a commodity name for surface treatment of aluminum alloy and can be reached on the surface of aluminum alloy, producing a thin 0.5-4 micron anodizing film. The electrochemical reaction of chromate is the principle of the Alodine anodizing. It is main composed of chromic anhydride, tetrafluoroborate, sodium fluoride, and other substances in a certain proportion.
What’re The Main Characteristics of The Alodine Surface Finishing?
- Producing a thinner (0.5-4 microns) anodizing film.
It is soft &porous and has good adsorption properties. And it will not affect the mechanical properties of the material, not affecting the size of the parts. It usually calls as the bottom layer of paint or other coatings.
- Operation time is short, minutes to an hour. No power consumption, simple equipment, low costs.
- Alodine anodizing has a certain conductivity.
- Alodine process is mainly carried out at room temperature, low energy consumption, and less pollution.
- Alodine solution is steady, long, and easy to maintain, suitable for larger-scale continuous production.
- Alodine solution s toxic, can’t be contacted with the human body, can’t be disposed at will. Must be fully diluted and scrapped.
- Aluminum is flammable, it should have stayed away from the source of the fire. Using the fabric of the iodine solution also needs to be insulated and avoid fire.
Why Do They Need to Use The Alodine Surface Finishing For CNC Machining Parts?
- Improve the corrosion resistance of aluminum alloy surface
- Improve the adhesion of the primer
- It can be used as a coating to change conductivity.
In general, we common use Alodine surface finishing has the following several forms:
- Alodine 600 Power. It is mainly used for the surface of the fuel tank structure with flame-resistant paint ( BMS10-20). At the same time, it is recommended for producing an anodizing film with low resistivity. Main color: Yellow color.
- Alodine 1000 Concentrate. It is mainly used for the aluminum structure that doesn’t need spray painting. Main color: colorless.
- Alodine1200/1200S Powder. It is most commonly used for cutting or repairing the repair parts. which has very good corrosion resistance, can provide better adhesion performance. Main color: Light gold or Tan color.
- Alodine 1500 Power. Main color: colorless.
