This practical handbook provides an introduction to all aspects of decorative, protective and engineering finishes applicable to aluminium. Descriptions of the processes concerned, including properties and methods of application, their benefits and limitations, are given, making this manual a useful asset to managers, technologists and students.
This one-stop reference is a tremendous value and time saver for engineers, designers and researchers. Emerging technologies, including aluminum metal-matrix composites, are combined with all the essential aluminum information from the ASM Handbook series (with updated statistical information).
This book is a guide to all new and presently existing processes available to chemically modify the surfaces of industrially used metals. The modifications described here will produce hard scratch-resistant surfaces, corrosion-resistant surfaces, and surfaces that will easily accept applied coatings, such as industrial paints. Included in the book are processes for aluminum, magnesium, titanium, iron, copper, and silver and their respective alloys, as well as a number of other metals and their related alloys.
Adherent coatins of aluminum were deposited on low carbon steel specimens by vapor (gas) plating using metals-organic triisobutyl aluminum. In the process liquid triisobutyl aluminum was mixed with isobutylene and argon, vaporized, then thermally decomposed at a heated steel specimen into metallic aluminum plus volatile decomposition effluents. As a result of this reaction the aluminum was deposited on the steel substrate and the volatile decomposition products were swept out the exhaust. Uniform, ductile coatings, 2 mils thick, were obtained. The capability of obtaining thicker deposits was indicated. Significantly, the deposition of aluminum by vapor plating was no limited to mild steel or metal substrates in general. Other materials including copper, magnesium, titanium, stainless steel, glass and graphite were also plated by this process.
Anodic Oxidation of Aluminium and Its Alloys focuses on the basic principles of anodic oxidation, choice of materials, pretreatment, design, properties of the anodic film, testing, and maintenance. Organized into 16 chapters, this book begins with the principles of anodizing; applications of anodized aluminum; factors influencing the choice of grade of aluminum for anodizing; and factors influencing the choice of anodizing process. Subsequent chapters explain designing for anodizing; anodizing equipment; jigging (racking) methods for anodizing; chemical treatment processes before anodizing; and the anodizing process. The coloring, sealing, and stripping of the anodic coating; testing anodized aluminum; properties of anodized aluminum; maintenance of anodized aluminum; and effluent treatment for anodizing plants are also described. This text will be useful to students, technicians, product designers, architects, and engineers in the aluminum industry.
