Polishing methods for clear mirror aluminum sheet

There are three polishing methods for clear mirror aluminum sheet: mechanical polishing, electrolytic polishing and chemical polishing. Mechanical polishing is generally the operation of pressing an aluminium sheet onto a rotating cloth wheel or other elastic wheel pre-coated with a polishing paste. The essence is to use the polishing wheel to smooth the extremely small unevenness on the surface. The aluminum sheet can be mechanically polished to obtain a mirror-like surface, and its color varies with the polishing paste used. Electrolytic polishing is to use an aluminum sheet as the anode. During the electrolysis process, the protruding speed of the protruding part of the sheet is higher than that of the low recess. As the polishing progresses, the microscopic and macroscopic convex and concave portions of the sheet surface are completely This process improves the micro-geometry of the metal surface, reduces the micro-roughness of the metal surface, and the aluminum profile brightens the surface of the part.

Electrolytic polishing for the clear mirror aluminum sheet can be used to replace heavy mechanical polishing, especially in the shape of complex, mechanically difficult to machines. However, electrolytic polishing cannot remove non-gold inclusions in the gold period, nor can it remove or mask surface defects such as scratches and deep pitting on the sheet surface. In a multiphase alloy, when one phase is not easily dissolved in the anode, which will affect the quality. Chemical polishing is the chemical etching of metal parts under certain conditions. During this etching process, the metal surface is etched and leveled by the solution to obtain a relatively bright surface.
Chemical polishing can be used in the manufacturing clear mirror aluminum sheet for instruments and the decorative processing of other parts and coatings. Compared with electrolytic polishing, chemical polishing has a higher production efficiency, but the surface quality is generally slightly lower. It is also difficult to adjust and regenerate the solution. In the polishing process, harmful gases such as nitrogen oxides are precipitated. In the process of electrolytic polishing, the surface of the anode is formed. During the chemical polishing process, either due to the formation of a non-uniform passivation film on the microscopic surface of the metal, or due to the formation of a thick sticky similar to that occurring during electro-polishing so that the surface micro-convex portions dissolution rate significantly greater than the micro-concave portion, thus reducing the microscopic roughness of the surface of the aluminum sheet, the part of the surface of relatively light and smooth.

Slitting of 1mm 2mm 4mm aluminium strip

图片
What kind of machine is used to make aluminum sheets into 1mm 2mm 4mm aluminium strip belts? Many people might think about a shearing device, but they are actually dealt with by a continuous slitting unit of a similar working principle to that of a shearing device. The difference lies in the point that there is no pause of shearing with a continuous slitting unit. Generally, the mother roll, namely, an  aluminum coil  to be slit, is placed. During the slitting process, the coil roll is divided into several belts which are further rolled into narrow aluminium strip rolls. The slitting method of both  1mm 2mm 4mm aluminium strip  or other aluminum strips can be divided into two types: a straight pull type and a loose sleeve type. The straight pull type refers to the method that aluminum strip rolls are kept in tension from being fed into the unwinding sail to being coiled by the coiling machine, and this production method is suitable for trimming and intermediate ...

Diamond Embossed Aluminum Sheet Application

图片
The  diamond embossed aluminum sheet  refers to aluminium sheets with diamond patterns on the surface. In addition to 1000 series, 5005 and 3003 are frequently applied alloys as well. 5005  diamond embossed aluminum sheet s can be used for conductivity materials, cookware, instrument panels, electronic shells and building ornaments. Their anodized film proves to be brighter than that of 3003, and the color matches perfectly with that of 6063 aluminum alloy products. Generally speaking,  diamond aluminum checker plate s are sold by the unit of pieces. In international business the unit of metric ton is frequently used as well. Their thickness ranges from 1.7mm to 8mm, but those between 2mm and 7.75mm prove to be the most popular. The width is from 1010 to 1500, among which 1250 and 1500 are most frequently adopted. Embossed aluminum sheet s with different patterns usually match varied application scope. Five-bar and one-bar sheets are mostly used for anti-skid pu...

Embossed Aluminium Coil Patterns And Applications

图片
If you have ever used an escalator you might have noticed that there are partition panels respectively at the bottom and top of the escalator. These partitions are usually paved with  embossed aluminium sheet  coil that have a good pressure bearing capacity and are made of composite metals. As a matter of fact, there are various patterns and applications of embossed aluminium coil, and here we will give a simple introduction. 　　Patterns 　　Aluminum sheets with patterns on the surface is called embossed aluminum sheets or  aluminium tread plate . Pattern shapes include lentils, diamonds, round beans, and oblate mixed shapes. The market is most common in lentils. 　　Application 　　The aluminium tread plate has beautiful appearance, excellent anti-slip property, enhanced performances, and material-saving advantage in production. It is widely used in transportation, construction, decoration, equipment, floor, machinery, shipbuilding and other fields. Generally speaking,...
