Aluminum alloy dyeing common problems and solutions
[China Aluminum Industry Network] First, the issue of "dyeing is not colored" may occur due to several reasons. 1. The anodized film thickness is insufficient. To resolve this, check if the anodizing process is following standard procedures. Ensure that the temperature, voltage, and conductivity are stable. If any issues are found, adjust the parameters accordingly. If everything seems normal, consider extending the oxidation time to meet the required film thickness.
2. The pH level of the dye solution might be too high. In such cases, glacial acetic acid can be used to bring the pH back to the recommended range.
3. If the workpiece remains in the dye tank for too long, it may lead to uneven coloring. It's advisable to dye the workpiece promptly. If this has already happened, place the workpiece in an anodic oxidation bath or a nitric acid neutralization tank for proper activation before dyeing again, which should improve the outcome.
4. Using the wrong type of dye can also cause problems. Always choose the appropriate dye for the specific application.
5. If the dye has decomposed or become moldy, it must be replaced immediately.
6. Low oxidation temperature can result in a dense film, making it difficult for the dye to penetrate. Increasing the oxidation temperature slightly can help.
7. Poor conductivity due to dirty anode copper rods or cathode lead sheets may affect the process. Clean these components regularly to ensure good electrical contact.
Second, the appearance of white spots or dew-like marks can be caused by: 1. Inadequate rinsing. Improve the washing process to remove all residues.
2. Using contaminated rinse water. Replace the water frequently to maintain its quality.
3. Oxide film contamination from soot, acid fumes, or alkali fog in the air. Enhance washing and speed up the dyeing and transfer processes to minimize this issue.
4. Oil or sweat contamination on the oxide film. Avoid direct handling of the workpieces and ensure proper protection during processing.
5. Impurities or oil in the dye solution can damage the coloring process. Filter or replace the dye solution as needed.
6. Residual acid in deep holes of the workpiece. Increase the washing intensity for such parts.
7. Chloride ions in the dye solution can cause point corrosion. Replace the dye solution and take care to prevent impurity ions from entering during operation.
Third, color inconsistencies or uneven film thickness may result from: 1. Uneven temperature or concentration in the anodizing bath. Use compressed air to stir the solution for better uniformity.
2. Non-uniform temperature or concentration in the dye solution. Introduce stirring to improve consistency.
3. Dyeing too quickly may cause uneven coloration. Slow down the process by diluting the dye and increasing the dyeing time.
4. Poor conductivity may lead to loose racking. Ensure tight connections to avoid this problem.
5. The dye may be too diluted. Add more dye to increase the concentration.
6. Low dye temperature can affect the process. Warm the dye solution to below 60°C for better results.
7. Improper dissolution of the dye or floating insoluble particles can cause color differences. Improve the dissolving method to ensure complete dissolution.
Fourth, issues like "dyeing hair" or color loss may occur due to: 1. Low pH in the dye solution. Adjust it using diluted ammonia.
2. Incomplete cleaning. Enhance the washing process to remove all residues.
3. Incomplete dye dissolution. Make sure the dye is fully dissolved before use.
4. High dye temperature. Lower the temperature for better control.
5. Small pores in the oxide film due to low oxidation temperature. Adjust the temperature to allow proper film formation.
6. Dyeing too fast with short time. Dilute the dye, lower the temperature, and extend the time for better results.
7. Low sealing temperature. Heat the sealing solution as needed.
8. Low pH in the sealing solution. Adjust it using diluted ammonia.
9. A rough oxide film can cause staining that is easily wiped off. This is often due to excessive oxidation temperature. Monitor and control the temperature within the specified range to prevent this issue.
