Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a feed back control system in which a water control system or the like are integrated, and which is usable for the removal of coatings from various works. SOLUTION: The coating removal system 10 has a stripping tank 12 in which an electrolytic solution bath stripping solution for removing a coating of at least one work 33 dipped into an electrolytic solution bath is stored, and further, an absolute potential is controlled in the at least one work 33 to a reference electrode dipped into the electrolytic solution bath. The system has a cleaning solution tank in which a cleaning solution for cleaning the work 33 after the completion of the removal of the coating from the work 33 is stored. The system has a distillation unit for purifying the electrolytic solution, and returning the electrolytic solution to the stripping tank as a purified form.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a chrome-free conversion coating which is a chemical compound used for a component of aluminum alloy. SOLUTION: A method for forming the coating comprises, preparing the first solution including chemical species as an anodic inhibitor and the second solution including chemical species as a cathodic corrosion inhibitor, and immersing the component to be coated into the first solution out of the first and the second solutions, and then, immersing it into the second solution out of the first and the second solutions. Preferable chemical species for the anodic inhibitor include chemical species such as tungstate, permanganate, vanadate, and molybdate, and mixtures thereof. The example of the cathodic inhibitor includes cobalt, cerium, and other lanthanide elements such as praseodymium, and mixtures thereof. In one embodiment, the chemical conversion coating is formed by using each of a solution including cerium and a solution including tungstate.
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates generally to a fan blade assembly. In an embodiment, the fan blade assembly includes an airfoil having a forward edge covered by a sheath. The airfoil and the sheath are made from dissimilar conductive materials. A nonconductive coating is applied to at least one of the sheath receiving surface of the airfoil and/or the airfoil contact surface of the sheath before the sheath is bonded to the airfoil.
Abstract:
A method of applying a protective coating with improved adhesion on an aluminum alloy component includes first pretreating the surface of a component by depositing a sacrificial protective immersion layer using a zincating or similar process. Portions of the protective immersion layer as well as portions of the underlying aluminum alloy substrate are then electrolytically etched off in an ionic liquid. A protective aluminum coating is then electrodeposited on the component in an ionic liquid

Abstract:
The present invention relates to a compound, non-chromium conversion coating for a part formed from an aluminum alloy. The coating is formed by providing a first solution containing an anodic inhibitor species, providing a second solution containing a cathodic corrosion inhibitor species, and immersing the part to be coated in a first one of the first and second solutions and thereafter in a second one of the first and second solutions. Suitable anodic inhibitor species include tungstates, permanganates, vanadates, molybdates, and mixtures thereof. Suitable cathodic corrosion inhibitors include cobalt, cerium, other lanthanide elements, and mixtures thereof. In one embodiment, the conversion coating is formed using a cerium containing solution and a tungstate containing solution.
Abstract:
A feedback controlled stripping system comprises a stripping tank 12 containing an electrolyte bath stripping solution for removing a coating from at least one workpiece immersed in the stripping solution while a controlled absolute electrical potential is maintained on the at least one workpiece with respect to a reference electrode also immersed in the stripping solution, a rinse tank 14 for rinsing the workpiece(s) after removal of the workpiece(s) from the stripping tank, and a distillation unit 16 for receiving electrolyte containing dissolved metals from the stripping tank, for purifying the electrolyte received from the stripping tank, and for returning the purified electrolyte to the stripping tank. In a preferred embodiment, the stripping tank 12, the rinse tank 14, and the distillation unit are mounted to a skid 18. The system further includes a control module.
