Industrial Application in 2014 T6 Aluminum Alloys Having High Corrosion and Weather Resistant by Anionic Resin Coating with Mirror Luster

Abstract

A new surface treatment technology for the aluminum alloys that exhibits not only high corrosion and weather resistance but also good mirror luster has been developed. By performing electrolytic permeation, the improved corrosion resistance and weather resistance while maintaining a high mirror luster was achieved for an aluminum alloy A2014-T6. The high strength aluminum alloys featuring high corrosion and weather resistance have been available for industrial products. Then the claim number of the products by A2014 T6 aluminum alloy has been reduced sharply to almost zero level in comparison with a past. A few applications and the development of the processing in industrial scale in A2014 T6 aluminum alloy will be presented.
