Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method for surface treatment of aluminum alloys for forms an oxidation film in the aluminum alloys for casting by adding a metallic anion compound to an electrolytic solution. The method can prevent cracks from occurring on a surface of the aluminum alloys for casting at the time of applying an anodizing method.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method for surface treatment of aluminum alloys for casting, comprising: forming an oxidation film in the aluminum alloys for casting by adding a metallic anion compound to an electrolytic solution, wherein the electrolytic solution is prepared using any one material selected from sulfuric acid and oxalic acid as a base, and wherein the metallic anion compound is NaAlO 2 . 2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the aluminum alloys for casting includes Si ranging from 4.0 to 24.0 wt %, and the oxidation film has a thickness which is set to be equal to or more than 5 μm. 3. The method of claim 2 , comprising steps of: coupling anions of the metallic anion compound included in the electrolytic solution with cracks formed on a surface of the aluminum alloys for casting by controlling a range of voltage, current, time, and temperature. 4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the voltage is controlled to be within a range of 10 to 200 V, the current is controlled to be within a range of 0.2 to 10 A/cm 2 , and the time is controlled to be within a range of 1 to 24 h, and the metallic anion compound is added within a range of 0.02 to 0.4 M.
