Work to Zero: Eliminating Non-Roadway Workplace Fatalities through the use of Emerging TechnologyDr. Lori Guasta, National Safety CouncilThis session will present a special preview of the NSC’s upcoming presentation at the Aluminum Safety Summit in November, of the most common hazardous situations contributing to workplace fatalities, as well as promising safety technologies for fatality prevention. Resources will also be shared to help make safety innovation, training and education more accessible for employers.

Advantages and Disadvantages of Closed Loop AnodizingJörgen Pettersson, Candor Sweden ABRecycling of water in a surface treatment or anodizing line puts demand on the wastewater treatment, rinse water capacity, how the line is built, salt build up, and what kind of chemistry is used. The basic idea of a closed-loop system is to reduce the consumption of new fresh water in the line to save and re-use existing water. This session will delve into questions such as what is a closed loop system, what is needed to have a line closed loop, and what are the advantages and disadvantages of such a system?

Anodizing Innovation/New Technology Technical/Pretreatment

Techniques to Enhance UV Stability of Dyed Anodic Coatings Tej Patel, TechevonUV stability of anodic coatings dyed with organic dyes, plus factors and anodic coating characteristics influencing UV stability are examined. Chrome metallized dyes and alternative new dyes that can be non-metallized or metallized with copper and cobalt are considered. Light sources that can accelerate UV stability testing to 24 hours are presented, and testing benefits discussed. Best process conditions are outlined to produce an anodic coating that rivals inorganic colors, as relates to UV stability.

Development and Experimental Testing: New Theoretical Model Describes the Mechanism of PAA FormationDr. Mikhail Pashchanka, Dept. of Chemistry, Eduard-Zitntl-Institute, Technical University of DarmstadtResearch has progressed in electrosynthesis and morphological tuning of porous anodic alumina (PAA). A theory based on emergence of electroconvection in electrolyte solutions enables better understanding of the PAA formation mechanism and explains synergy between electrode reactions and transport processes leading to self-organization, holding promise to more strategically approach PAA synthesis with deliberately tuned geometric parameters.

New Design and Surface Possibilities with 3D-iExtrusion Mark J. Kragh, Reliefed Technologies3D-iExtrusion enables an imprint depth on extruded profiles from 1/1000 mm to 50% of the profile thickness. Learn about new considerations, how design is affected and potential new user values. Can we mix silk-imitation surface with shiny surfaces, and logotypes with functional surface? Mix braille with a grippy pattern on a stair railing? Will anodizing affect the result? Can it enhance the “3D-effect”? New options and creative possibilities are discussed, combined with cost, material and energy savings

How Interruptions in Anodizing Affect Post-Treatment Processes: A Look into Color and Seal Response in Non-Ideal Circumstances Nathan Sheffield, Quaker HoughtonUnexpected faults in electrical equipment can interrupt process controls during production, affecting both the cranes and rectifiers that directly control the anodizing process. Common electrical interruptions in the anodizing tank reproduced in lab settings are reviewed and interruptions’ effects on post-anodize treatment of electrolytic color and seal are discussed. Three interruption types are highlighted: pre-anodizing dwelling without current; breaks in electrical flow during anodizing process stages; and post-anodizing dwelling times in the anodizing tank.

Effect of a New Electrolyte on Mechanical Properties and Corrosion Resistance of TiO2NT Coatings Prof. Mariana de Souza Sikora, Federal Technological University of ParanáPato BrancoIons present in the electrolyte solution incorporated into the coating structure during anodizing can promote changes in coating characteristics. The effect of an electrolyte used in TiO2NT coatings synthesis is compared to a modified electrolyte for mechanical properties, wettability and corrosion resistance and results are presented.

Utilizing Chemical Machining Principles for an Aesthetical Matte or Bright Finish on High Alloyed Aluminum SurfacesCan Akyil, Coventya FundingTo achieve the right alloy surface roughness and gloss, etching and brightening alternatives with nitric-free chemistry are reviewed. Traditional alkaline etching and deoxidizing is compared to a new “conditioning” approach, focusing on etching benefits of alloy elements with alternate conditioning during brightening and etching cycles, to demonstrate surface property improvements in functionality and appearance compared with non-conditioned surfaces. Data are summarized to demonstrate the impact on visual-aesthetical appearance, sealing process efficiency and resulting corrosion performance.

Three Solutions for Three Major Sealing Problems Pinar Afsin, Istanbul Technical Univ. Dept. of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering When improving corrosion resistance of anodic oxide (AAO) layers, the sealing process for anodized aluminum parts/components is critically important considering chemical and physical mechanisms for reducing porosity’s impact in the oxide layer. Three solutions are presented. Black color finish and hot sealing interaction are investigated using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Energy Dispersive X-Ray Spectroscopy (EDS). When characterizing high pH alkaline performance, different sealing techniques’ effects on AAO layers is reviewed. The AAO sealing process and impact of by-products formation with ADT testing is examined; SEM-EDS characterization is reviewed.

Novel Prospects in the Synthesis and Applications of Anodic AluminaEwa Wierzbicka, Institute of Chemistry, Humboldt University of BerlinHigh power anodizing – plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) is applied for the synthesis of compact, resistive protective layers. Studies focus on varied pre-treatment, post-treatment, and in-situ modifications that additionally change the oxide layer properties. Nanoporous anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) initiated development of a new discipline for nanomanufacturing. Novel research touches upon varied modifications of the oxide morphology (fabrication of different patterns and channel shapes), or using AAO as a platform for electrochemical sensors used for hormone determination.

Pretreatment Essentials: Bright Dip and EtchingMary Oakley, Bright Aluminum Technology Linda Newman, Quaker HoughtonBright dipping increases aluminum’s specularity or bright-ness by leveling microscopic roughness on aluminum part surfaces. Bright dipping applications are somewhat limited because it does little to macro polish or smooth scratches or pits, underscoring the need for prior buffing and handling. Etching minimizes/hides die lines and surface irregularities, creating a smooth reproducible finish, achieved by caustic or acid etching. Understanding each etching process allows anodizers to make informed decisions on the best chemistry for the desired finish.

Anodizing for Architectural LightfastnessKevin Janis, Reliant Aluminum Products, LLCSeal coating and quality parameters are examined as requirements for achieving lightfastness, regardless of coloring method. Impact on lightfastness based on dye selection, dye bath maintenance and processing conditions is discussed and various coloring processes emphasizing dye and overdye are explained. A case study designed by the architectural firm Behles and Jochimsen, Berlin, involving the Biomedical Research Center at Justus Liebig University, Giessen, Germany, showcases the lightfastness capabilities of architectural dyeing and overdyeing (Sandalor Process).

Copper Disposition on Anodized AluminumProf. Per Morgen, SDU Chemical Engineering Dept. of Green TechnologyA hypothesis for depositing copper in the pores of the anodic oxide of suitable alloys, as a sealing agent and as an active surface coating explores controlling filling and growth out of pores to create solid copper film coatings. Grown copper surface layers are polished into strongly adhering copper film, or polished down to the hard oxide surface finish. The microscopic nature of copper films formed at different DC potentiostatic processing conditions with copper baths is explored.

Using Design of Experiment (DOE)– Matte Finish Gloss OptimizationDr. George Oh, Quaker HoughtonThe Design of Experiment (DOE) method tests the effects and statistical significance of experimental parameters. Etch matteness and appearance (measured by gloss) depend on various parameters of etch and other anodize process steps. The effects of acid etch, temperature, time and concentration, as well as caustic cleanup temperature on gloss are probed. These parameters all greatly affect gloss; thus, the use of DOE for process optimization and determining operational limits is discussed.

Die Design: One of the Biggest Opportunities for Increasing ProductivityRichard Dickson, Hydro Aluminum MetalsPotential productivity gains made by improving tempera-ture control at the press can be unlocked and established as increases in productivity and profitability. Various elements of die design and their primary role in forming extrusion shapes are discussed, and importantly, their sec-ondary role of compensating for less-than-ideal process control. Until that level is repeatably/reliably attained, die designers must include elements to “correct” process issues, resulting in less than ideal productivity.
