PROTECTION AGAINST CORROSION

Chromic Acid Anodizing

The CAA process will result in the electrochemical growth of an

aluminium oxide / hydroxide layer by interaction of a clean aluminium
surface with a chromic acid based immersion bath and an applied
voltage between the parts and a suitable cathode. The oxide layer
produced by the process has a good corrosion resistance when sealed
or primed, providing a good paint adhesion in unsealed conditions.

Chromic Acid Anodizing replacement

Numerous regulations in various countries and regions now strictly

restrict the use, production, storage, elimination or marking of
chromates.
The hazardous properties of the substances reinforce the need to
replace them with less hazardous substances.

Tartaric Sulfuring Anodizing

TSA and CAA are similar processes. They are electrochemical

processes both used for generating an aluminium oxide layer for
corrosion protection and surface treatment prior to application of a
corrosion-inhibiting primer.

The fatigue performance of the TSA has been tested and shown
XS51D1C1MATPR11

equivalent to CAA.

The bath is composed of demineralised water, tartaric acid and sulfuric

acid.

PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE & GENERAL CONCLUSIONS

(1) A satisfactory and complete corrosion prevention requires, in

addition to the existing corrosion protection, a preventive
maintenance.
For example, a regular washing and waxing of the outer skin increases
the corrosion resistance and maintains the given corrosion protection.
(2) For any information about preventive maintenance, refer to the
corrosion prevention recommendations in the Maintenance Planning
Document (MPD).
