Anodizing Production Line with Sulfuric Acid for Improved Corrosion Resistance
一.Product overview
1.Anodizing is a surface treatment method that can improve the durability, corrosion resistance, wear resistance, and aesthetics of non-ferrous metal components (usually aluminum and its alloys).
2.Anodizing involves the formation of a thin protective oxide layer on the surface of a substrate through an electrochemical process.
3.When the oxide layer film reacts with environmental moisture, the thickness of the oxide layer will further increase. Therefore, anodized components have strong corrosion resistance and can also protect their substrates from UV radiation, thermal damage, and the effects of marine environments.

四.Treatment Process:
(6) Average anodizing layer : 0.3*1.3*30*0.77 =10.81um
1) Clour process: Mix Salts
2) Quantity:2 jig(rack)/tank x 1tanks = 2jig(rack)
3) Current density: 70A
4) Process time: 2-8min
6. Sealing
1) Sealing menthod: Sealing at Medium or Normal Temperature
2) Quantity:6jig(rack)/tank x 1 tank
3) Process time 10-15min
五. Design Parameter and Setting
1. Anodizing treatment area:
1) Each anodizing process tank need 40min ,where total jig(rack)/year:
( 2 rack x 4 tank x 60min/h) ÷40min x600 hour =7200jig(rack)
2) Design 50m²/jig(rack) . Where every tank is 100m²
3) Area treatment/year : 7200jig(rack)x 50m² /jig =360000m²
2. Anodizing treatment weight:
Monthly output : 360000m²÷350m²/T*0.9=925T≧900T
3. Power consumption:
1) Anodising Tank:100m²/tank* 130A/ m²÷0.9=14444A/tank
Power Rectifier : 15000A =4unit
2) Clouring tank: 100㎡/tank×70A/m²÷0.9 = 7777A/tank
Colour Rectifier : 8000A =2unit
