Disadvantages of aluminum oxidation processing
Anodizing of aluminum and aluminum alloys is superior to chemical oxidation and can be used as the basis for final anti-corrosion, decoration or coloring, dyeing, and electrophoretic coating. It plays an important role in bush hog zero turn mower parts, dixon zero turn mower parts, gravely zero turn mowers parts, snapper zero turn mower parts, and toro zero turn lawn mower parts.
According to the type of electrolyte and film properties, anodizing can be divided into sulfuric acid method, chromic acid method, oxalic acid method, mixed acid method, hard and porcelain anodizing methods.
Aging: Due to the slow and continuous sealing process of aluminum oxidation processing, the structure of the oxide film changes, which in turn causes bush hog zero turn mower parts, dixon zero turn mower parts, gravely zero turn mowers parts, snapper zero turn mower parts, and toro zero turn lawn mower parts to lose their due effectiveness. The degree of change depends on the atmospheric exposure time.
Burnout:
1.During the anodizing process, the aluminum substrate is partially damaged due to the severe electrical breakdown of the oxide film.
2.During the anodic oxidation process, the anodic oxide film has a soft powdery surface due to local overheating.
Powdering: The anodized surface of aluminum oxide is exposed to the atmosphere to form a layer of white powder, usually due to the poor quality of the anodized film.
Weathering frost spots: The anodic oxide film is exposed to the atmosphere, especially in industrial atmospheric conditions, and a layer of white frost spots is formed on the surface due to irregular light and chemical effects. These frost spots are difficult to remove with conventional cleaning methods.
Size Growth: After anodization, the volume changes due to the conversion of aluminum to aluminum oxide, resulting in an increase in size. The increase is one third of the oxide film thickness.
