Anodie oxidation generates an oxide coating on the surface of aluminium, which results in an increased resistance to corrosion. Furthermore, for certain suitable alloys anodizing preserves the decorative appearance obtained through pretreaiment as in Table 1 For the purposes of this standard, semiinished aluminium produets are: — sneet, strip and plate as in DIN EN 485-1 — cole drawn rod, bars and tube as in DIN EN 754-1; — extruded rod, bars, tube and profles asin DIN EN 765-1 — extruded precision profiles asin DIN EN 12020+4 This standard does not cover: — products with oxide coatings produced by hard anodizing for technical purposes: — products with oxide coatings produced by coil anodizing: — products worked after anodizing 2 Normative references ‘The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.

Anodizing quality For products for which a decorative finish is required after anodizing, sembfinished products of anodizing quality (EQ) shall be ordered Semi-finished products of anodizing quality require special measures regarding later decorative use, such as, ‘chemical composition, manufacturing parameters, treatment, testing and packaging Parts to be anodized which are to be joined to form a continuous surface should be taken from the same batch, because different batches, semHinished products, alloys and anodizing methods can lead to different surface appearances. The anodizing quality required shall be specially agreed at the time of ordering Suitable materials as in DIN EN §73-3 are, for example: Series 1000 — Al Series 5000 — Al Mg Series 6000 — Al MgSi EN AW-10500 (Al 99.5) EN AW-5008 (Al Mg 1(B)] EN AW-6060 [Al MgSi] EN AW=1070A [Al 99.7] EN AW-5005A [Al Mg1(C)] EN AW-6063 [Al Mg0,7Si] EN AW-10808 [Ai 99.8(4)} EN AVW-5050 (AI Nig. 5(C)} EN AV-5051A [Al Mg2(8)] EN AW-5754 [Al Mga]? The technical delivery conditions specified in the relevant standards listed in Clause 1 apply to the surface appearance of the different types of semi-finished product, The intended surface treatment (see Table 1) and the anodizing method to be used (see 5.3) shall be stated when ordering the semi-finished product, €.9, Profile DIN EN 12020-1 EN AW-6060 —Té — EQ — E6iC 33, The designation of a semMfinished product shall be in accordance with the relevant standard which covers. that type of product, and shall aso include the intended surface treatment as in Table 1. 1).

Standard quality Standard grade semi-finished products are also suitable for anodizing. A decorative finish cannot be expected, however, even after one of the pretreatment methods as in Table 1 has been carried out 4 Designing products for anodizing Products which are to receive a decorative finish shall have a design suitable for anodizing. For example, account is to be taken of necessary centact points, excess widths and lengths, dimensions, and of drainage holes in hollow sections. Welds and extrusion seams may become visible after anodizing, Contact points are a result of the manufacturing process and therefore cannct be avoided. Their location on visible surfaces shall be agreed upon by the customer and the coating producer. 5 Anodizing 5.4 Materials ‘The works carrying cut the treatment shall be informed of the material and temper of the components supplied 5.2. Pretreatment Mechanical, chemical andlor electrochemical pretreatment is caried out to prepare the surface of components, for anodizing, by which particular surface effects can be obtained. The type of treatment shall be designated Using the symbols given in Table 1. Because of technically unavoidable variations, the same treatment may result in diferent surface effects. The customer and the works carrying out the treatment shall agree on the appearance required for rolled and extruded semifinished producis or components made from them. If necessary for the purposes of comparison, the permissible range of variaton shall be defnee by at least two limit samples. 2) For example, €-33, medium bronze, see AluminiumeMerkblatt 41] & az g 8 2 = 2 S 8 5 8 2 2 g Bg 3 2 é ‘ i : : é& az g 8 2 = 2 S 8 5 8 2 2 g Bg 3 2 é ‘ i : : é Table 1 — Surface preparation designation system Pretreatment Notes symbol_| Type of pretreatment = Degreasing and “Surface praparation balore ancdang In which the surlace i dagreased and seoridaton eovicized wtnout Sither pretreatment.

Anodizing process Anodized aluminium can retain its natural colour or can be coloured using various methods such as adsorption dyeing, electrolytic colouring, integral colouring, combined colouring processes, and interference colouring The customer and coating producer shall agree on the anodizing procedure and, where appropriate, the colouring procedure, but details shall be lef to the coating producer. ‘Some specifications and descriptions of anodizing and colouring procedures are given in Aluminium-Merkblatt (Aluminium instruction Sheet) 0 4 issued by the Gesamtverband der Aluminiumindustre e.V., Dusseldorf 1) 5.4 Sealing Oxide coatings produced by anodizing are to be sealed as a rule. Sealing should preferably be carried out in demineralized water boliing at over 96 °C or in steam for three minutes per 1 jim of coating thickness. Sealing deposits which couki impair the decorative appearance of visible surfaces shall ether be prevented by means of bath additives, or subsequently removed by cleaningDIN 17611:2011-11 Cold impregnation using nickel flucridelcobalt fluoride may be used, provided this is property carried out. It shall be folowed by treatment in a warm water bath at over 60 °C for one minute per 1 um of oxide coating thickness. 6 Requirements 61 Oxide coating thickness Anodie oxide coatings are classified according to the smallest pemissible value of the average thickness g (smallest average thickness), in micrometres.

Slight variations in hue due to differences in material and the production process are unavoidable, ‘The decorative appearance of components shall be evaluated by viewing them by diffuse daylight at right angles fo the visible surface and from the following distances: — components tobe used outside at ground level:3 m: — components to be used outsie on upper fears: § m; — components tobe used inside: 2m — for evaluating colour, comparison withthe limt samples: no more than 1m; — ther viewing distances and criteria shall be agreed between customer and coating producer.

Measurement of coating thickness using an eddy current instrument as in DIN EN ISO 2360 This non-destructive method is particularly suited to flat surfaces. Measure the thickness of the oxide coating on the visible surface at 2 minimum of five points, each 0,5 in area, taking 3 to 5 single measurements at each point. Calculate the mean of the measurements for each point Uneertainty of measurement: = 2 um 7.4.3. Measuring the coating thickness at a section, using a microscope, as in DIN EN ISO 1463 This method requires the destruction of the component under test Measure the thickness of the oxide coating on the visible surface at two points which should be at least 800 mm apart. Uncertainty of measurement = 0,8 um 7.2. Determining coating durability 7.21 Measuring admittance as in DIN EN ISO 2931") The admittance Ya related to a coating thickness of 20 ym shall not exceed 20 pS for uncoloured oxide coatings. The admittance is fo be measured within 48 hours after sealing, For coloured oxide coatings, other limit values may provide a sufficient durabilty under certain circumstances. 7.22. Dye-spot test as in DIN EN ISO 2143, The sealing shall be deemed satisfactory if the intensity ofthe stain is rated from 0 up to 2 on the seale. The dye spot testis only suitable for uncoloured oxide coatings. 7.2.3 Determining loss of mass as in DIN EN ISO 3210 The loss of mass shall be determined after immersion in phosphoric acidchromie acid solution with prior acie treatment, and shall not exceed 20 ma/am’. *) Translators note, The incerect standard number is given in the original German text.
