Update: Specification for Anodized Aluminum and its Alloys (MIL-A-8625F) Mark Jozefowicz, Reliant Aluminum Products, LLCThe Aluminum Anodizers Council was alerted to an issue regarding MIL-A-8625F specification for anodized aluminum in use for more than 25 years. The update to the specification disallows the use of nickel acetate/surfactant seal chemistry, a process that is used by most anodizers. In response, AAC is working with the specification holder to amend the clause. We expect to see the new specification in the coming weeks. In the meantime, AAC is currently developing a specification that covers the requirements for two types and two classes of anodized aluminum coatings for non-architectural applications, which is the non-military equivalent of MIL-A-8625. Learn the latest information from Mark Jozefowicz who is spearheading the process.

Anodizing Aluminum for Precision Medicine: The Future of HealthcareMatthew Nickel, University of AlbertaPrecision medicine is health care tailored to the individual and is the future of medicine under the U.S. Precision Medicine Initiative. One of the pitfalls with personalized medical care is that it benefits far too few patients for the dollars spent. Visual diagnostics based on anodized aluminum may be a cost-effective solution. The health of an individual may be assessed by visualizing a surface color change. We demonstrate the ability to detect color shifts from molecules as small as 2nm at pmolar concentrations on the anodized surface. It was used to detect biomarkers of the measles virus.

Ammonia & U.S. EPA RegulationsJanette Courtney, Bonnell AluminumAmmonia is a byproduct from the aluminum acid etch and aluminum anodizing processes. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has regulations regarding ammonia. This presentation will cover the Clean Water Act and Clean Air Act and how they pertain to ammonia. Case studies will be presented.

Acid Etch: Options for Ammonia  Linda Newman, Houghton InternationalAcid etch is known for hiding many extrusion defects and producing a very smooth matte finish. One challenge acid etch users face is dealing with ammonia in wastewater. This presentation will discuss what ammonia levels to expect from acid etch and ways to reduce ammonia in wastewater.

Lunch in Aluminum MarketplaceNoon – 1:00 p.m.

What’s Next For Aluminum in AutomotiveGregg Peterson, Michigan Manufacturing Technology Center The emerging consensus is that your next car is likely to be a multi-material vehicle with a mix of advanced high strength steel, aluminum, magnesium and perhaps

composites. And, it will be assembled less by traditional spot welds and more by structural adhesives. What specific applications appear most attractive, and what will be required to capture them? How can extruders and anodizers better meet the challenges that the OEMs and Tier 1’s would like addressed, and by doing so, help themselves? Gregg Peterson, Principle Materials Engineer at the MMTC will provide some insight.

Importance of the Anodize Process in Regards to Sporting Goods Shelf Appeal and Quality Vance Jones, Easton Technical ProductsThe importance of how consistency of the anodized coating plays a key role in the quality of sporting goods will be outlined. Using Statistical Process Control to monitor critical parameters, how the cosmetics of sporting goods are important for shelf appeal and what has been done to insure color consistency will be discussed. Several case examples and products will be covered including arrow shafts, tent tubing, mountain climbing and fishing equipment.

Considerations for Matching Anodized Components Jude M. Runge, Ph.D., CompCote Intl, Inc.Aluminum alloys are selected for recreational products: they are lightweight and strong, with high impact resistance and fatigue strength. Anodizing is often the finish of choice: It looks good, and is, by far, the lightest-weight finish. For optimal appearance of multiple anodized assembly components, it is necessary that they have the same color/appearance. Some of the challenges and solutions with matching anodized and dyed components, specifically used for bicycles manufactured with 7000-series aluminum components, are discussed.

Anodizing Armament/Gun Components: Anodizing Factors and Features to Consider in the Anodizing Finish Tej Patel, Techevon LLCThis paper will provide an overview of the anodizing industry as it relates to armament components and end user expectations for color, finish, uniformity and durability. Specifically, factors such as mechanical pretreatment and subsequent chemical pretreatments prior to anodizing will be discussed. Furthermore, the paper will provide information on how to address galvanic corrosion as it relates to alloys, tooling, dye chemistry and other operations.

Anodizing of Brake Calipers Stefan Lenzer, MacDermid EnthoneThe market share of brake components made of aluminum and the quality requirements for components of automotive braking systems are increasing, both with regard to functionally relevant parameters—essential for system reliability—as well as corrosion protection and decorative properties. The anodization has special demands on the coater, and therefore on the process suppliers. An overview of the requirements and specifications for automotive anodized aluminum calipers, and relevant processes—taking into account the aluminum alloys and quality requirements—are presented.

Dyes and Dye Chemistry

James Bernard, First Source Worldwide, LLCThis session will address a variety of dye topics, including a brief history of dyes covering synthetic and natural dyes, what they are and where they come from, and dye classes. In addition, Azo Dyes and how they are made will be discussed. Characteristics that make dyes good for anodizing, and dyes and the anodic surface will be covered. And, finally, the author will share his thoughts on the future of dyes.

Integral Coloring in the Color and Dye TechnologyMarcello Rossi, Italtecno SrlUniform color anodizing using a special type of new rectifiers with pulses at variable frequency is possible with new-generation rectifiers that allow for harder coating layers. Colors from bronze to black using special new non-toxic electrolytes directly in the anodizing tank are possible; colors may also depend on the composition of the alloys. The new rectifiers allow for more uniform color with lower energy consumption compared to the conventional integral coloring methods of many decades ago.

Dyeing and Light Fastness of Aluminum Anodizing

Kenji Hara, Okuno Chemical Indust. Co., LTDIn this presentation, dyeing and light fastness of aluminum anodizing are presented. The influence of the conditions in surface conditioning and in dyeing on dyeability will be explained. Furthermore, the results of investigating the dye penetration of aluminum anodizing, the light fastness of the dyeing product and several methods to improve light fastness, which is a problem of dyeing of aluminum anodizing, are discussed.

Selecting a Black Dye for Your Application Pinakin Patel, Techevon LLCA number of factors such as undertone, heat/light fastness, metamerism, and other chemistry aspects will be presented in order to educate anodizers on the newest trends in black dyes within the anodizing field. The effect of coating thickness/density on color depth, as well as the effects of contaminants such as aluminum sulfates and aluminum phosphates, will be discussed.

Practical Additions Including Anodic Test Evaluation Cells (ATEC) Fred Schaedel, Anodic Technical Services affiliate of Alpha Plus SystemsThis paper will present the real importance of practical additions related to quality and efficiency issues in anodizing facilities. Discussions will include: 1) How and when practical additions should be made, including follow up analyses, 2) The significance of free and total sulfuric acid concentrations in the anodize tank, including aluminum build up and drag out, and 3) The use of Anodize Test Evaluation Cells (ATEC) for making practical additions of additives, modifiers and/or accelerators.

The Environmentally Friendly Bright Finish for Aluminum Wayne Chandler, SIC Technologies, Inc.The history of electropolishing from the early 1930’s to current day is discussed in addition to the method of processing and the effects of different variables on the metal. Comparison with chemical bright dipping is also discussed. The advantages and disadvantages of electropolishing are delineated.

The Effect of Dissolved Aluminum in Low Caustic Etch Baths Used as Post Treatment on Acid Etched SurfacesCan Akyil, PolitenikThis paper aims to find the optimum range for the dissolved aluminum in low caustic concentration baths as post treatment after acid etch process to achieve the desired surface effect with minimum deviations from the set values such as surface gloss and the color shade. To investigate the effect of dissolved aluminum on the surface morphology in low caustic etching baths; SEM/SEI investigations, 3D surface profiling, surface gloss measurements and spectrophotometer analyses are used.

Deoxidizing Aluminum and its Effectiveness as a Pre-Treatment for Anodizing Aluminum AlloysPeter Totaro, Master Metal FinishersDeoxidizing solutions are widely used as a subsequent treatment after etching aluminum; deoxidizing solutions allow for a wide range of applications from enhancing the activity of the substrate to removing chemical film. The basic mechanisms of deoxidizer chemistry, what applications they can be used for and solution maintenance will be covered, offering a comprehensive view of all roles of deoxidizer solutions.
