Effect of Phosphating Technologies on Corrosion Resistance of Phosphate Coatings on 6063 Aluminum Alloy

Article Preview

Abstract:

The basic formulation and technologies of phosphating for 6063 aluminum alloys were discussed to enhance the corrosion resistance. The effect of phosphating time, pH, ZnO, H3PO4 and NaF content on corrosion resistance was investigated using Tafel polarization methods. The results show that the optimum phosphating technologies of 6063 aluminum alloys are as follows: 7 g/L ZnO, 20 mL/L 85% H3PO4, 1.2 g/L NaF, pH 3.0, temperature 45±2°C, phosphating time 7 min. After phosphating treatment the anodic and cathodic corrosion processes of 6063 alloys are suppressed greatly, and the corrosion resistance is enhanced.
