New accurate batch anodising technology

Cel

Alucol as a SME's involved in batch anodizing of aluminum products, e.g. in architectural applications, is under pressure from legally enforced reductions in energy consumption, competitive coating techniques, like powder coating, and market demands for reproducible and sustainable products. Using existing anodizing technology a distribution of oxide layer thickness and quality over a batch of products is obtained, resulting in longer process times than necessary and insufficient reproducibility of colored oxide layers. This forces us and other European SME's to seek new ways to improve the energy efficiency and accuracy of current batch anodizing technology and thereby safeguarding and widening our market. It is the objective of this proposal to improve the process of industrial batch anodizing with respect to the energy efficiency and the quality of the anodic layer by the introduction of new process technology, designed on the base of computer simulations and accurate electrochemical data. The hence obtained precise prediction and control of process will lead the way to an improvement of the energy efficiency with 25% by a reduction in process time.
