Anodizing of aluminium and its alloys - Assessment of quality of sealed anodic oxidation coatings by measurement of admittance (ISO 2931:2017)

ISO 2931:2017 specifies a method for assessing the quality of sealed anodic oxidation coatings on aluminium and its alloys by measurement of the admittance.
The method is applicable to anodic oxidation coatings sealed in an aqueous medium.
NOTE 1    Results obtained from anodic oxidation coatings sealed by different methods, e.g. hydrothermal sealing and cold sealing, are not necessarily comparable.
NOTE 2    Results obtained from anodic oxidation coatings on alloys containing more than 2 % silicon or 5 % manganese or 3 % magnesium are not comparable with results obtained from anodic oxidation coatings on more dilute alloys.
The method is suitable for use as a production-control test and as an acceptance test where there is agreement between the anodizer and the customer.
Any type of anodized component can be tested by the method described, provided that there is a sufficient area (a circle of diameter about 20 mm) and that the film thickness is greater than 3 µm.

Anodisieren von Aluminium und Aluminiumlegierungen - Prüfung der Qualität von verdichteten, anodisch erzeugten Oxidschichten durch Messung des Scheinleitwertes (ISO 2931:2017)

Dieses Dokument legt ein Verfahren zur Prüfung der Qualität von verdichteten, anodisch erzeugten Oxidschichten auf Aluminium und Aluminiumlegierungen durch Messung des Scheinleitwertes fest.
Das Verfahren ist auf anodisch erzeugte Oxidschichten anwendbar, die in einer wässrigen Lösung verdichtet wurden.
ANMERKUNG 1   Ergebnisse, die für anodisch erzeugte Oxidschichten erzielt wurden, welche mit unterschiedlichen Verfahren (z. B. hydrothermales Verdichten und Kaltimprägnieren) verdichtet wurden, sind nicht zwangsweise vergleichbar.
ANMERKUNG 2   Ergebnisse, die für anodisch erzeugte Oxidschichten auf Legierungen erzielt wurden, die mehr als 2 % Silicon oder 5 % Mangan oder 3 % Magnesium enthalten, sind nicht vergleichbar mit den Ergebnissen, die für anodisch erzeugte Oxidschicht auf stärker verdünnten Legierungen erzielt wurden.
Das Verfahren ist zur innerbetrieblichen Produktionsüberwachung geeignet und nach Vereinbarung zwischen dem das Anodisationsverfahren durchführenden Unternehmen und dem Besteller auch für Abnahmeprüfungen anwendbar.
Alle Arten von anodisierten Gegenständen können nach dem beschriebenen Verfahren geprüft werden, vorausgesetzt es gibt eine ausreichend große Messfläche (Kreis mit etwa 20 mm Durchmesser) und die Schichtdicke ist größer als 3 μm.

Anodisation de l'aluminium et de ses alliages - Évaluation de la qualité des couches anodiques colmatées par mesurage de l'admittance (ISO 2931:2017)

ISO 2931:2017 spécifie une méthode d'évaluation de la qualité des couches anodiques colmatées formées sur de l'aluminium ou des alliages d'aluminium, par mesurage de l'admittance.
Cette méthode est applicable aux couches anodiques colmatées en milieu aqueux.
NOTE 1    Les résultats obtenus sur des couches anodiques colmatées par des méthodes différentes, par exemple par colmatage hydrothermique ou par colmatage à froid, ne sont pas nécessairement comparables.
NOTE 2    Les résultats obtenus sur des couches anodiques formées sur des alliages contenant plus de 2 % de silicium ou plus de 5 % de manganèse ou plus de 3 % de magnésium ne sont pas comparables aux résultats obtenus sur des couches anodiques formées sur des alliages dans lesquels ces concentrations sont inférieures.
Cette méthode peut être utilisée pour les contrôles de la production et pour les contrôles de réception lorsqu'un accord a été conclu entre l'anodiseur et le client.
Des produits anodisés de tout type peuvent être soumis à essai selon la méthode décrite pour autant que leur surface soit suffisante (un cercle d'environ 20 mm de diamètre) et que l'épaisseur de la couche soit supérieure à 3 μm.

Anodizacija aluminija in njegovih zlitin - Ocenjevanje kakovosti tesnjenih anodno oksidiranih prevlek z meritvijo admitance (ISO 2931:2017)

Ta dokument določa metodo za ocenjevanje kakovosti tesnjenih anodno oksidiranih prevlek na aluminiju in aluminijevih zlitinah z meritvijo admitance.
Metoda se uporablja za anodno oksidirane prevleke, zatesnjene v vodnem mediju.
OPOMBA 1: Rezultati, pridobljeni iz anodno oksidiranih prevlek, zatesnjenih z različnimi metodami, kot sta hidrotermalna
in hladna zatesnitev, niso nujno primerljivi.
OPOMBA 2: Rezultati, pridobljeni iz anodno oksidiranih prevlek na zlitinah, ki vsebujejo več kot 2 % silicija ali 5 %
mangana ali 3 % magnezija, niso primerljivi z rezultati, pridobljenimi iz anodno oksidiranih prevlek na bolj razredčenih zlitinah.
Metoda je primerna kot kontrolni preskus proizvoda in kot preskus sprejemljivosti, če je tak dogovor med izvajalcem eloksacije in stranko.
Vse vrste anodiziranih komponent je mogoče preskusiti z opisano metodo pod pogojem, da je
površina dovolj velika (krog s premerom približno 20 mm) in da je debelina premaza najmanj 3 μm.

Overview

EN ISO 2931:2018 (ISO 2931:2017) specifies a rapid, non‑destructive method for assessing the quality of sealed anodic oxidation coatings on aluminium and its alloys by measurement of admittance. The test is designed for coatings sealed in an aqueous medium and is suitable for routine production control and, where agreed between anodizer and customer, for acceptance testing.

Key topics and technical requirements

  • Principle: Admittance (the inverse of complex impedance) of a sealed anodic film is measured to infer sealing quality; the anodic coating behaves as a combination of resistive and capacitive elements in an AC circuit.
  • Measurement device: Instrument capable of 3 µS to 200 µS range, measuring at 1 000 Hz ± 10 Hz, with two electrodes - a contact screw to the base metal and a pencil‑type probe.
  • Cell & electrolyte: Test cell formed by a self‑adhesive rubber ring (~13 mm internal diameter, internal area ≈133 mm²; acceptable range 100–200 mm²) and potassium sulfate aqueous solution at 35 g/L as electrolyte.
  • Specimen requirements: Any anodized component can be tested provided there is a sufficient flat area (a circle of about 20 mm diameter) and film thickness > 3 µm.
  • Timing & preparation: Preferably measure 1–4 hours after sealing (within 48 hours). Test area must be clean; degreasing and specific cleaning procedures are described when preservatives are present.
  • Limitations & comparability: Results from different sealing methods (e.g., hydrothermal vs cold sealing) are not necessarily comparable. Coatings on alloys with >2% Si, >5% Mn or >3% Mg may give non‑comparable results versus more dilute alloys.

Applications and users

  • Who uses it: Anodizers, quality control / inspection laboratories, coating engineers, and customers specifying acceptance tests for anodized aluminium components.
  • Practical uses: Routine production control to monitor sealing effectiveness, quality checks before subsequent finishing (oiling, waxing, lacquering), and contractual acceptance measurement when agreed. It is useful wherever fast, non‑destructive assessment of sealed anodic coatings is needed.

The article discusses the SIST EN ISO 2931:2018 standard, which outlines a method for evaluating the quality of sealed anodic oxidation coatings on aluminum and its alloys using admittance measurement. The method is specifically designed for anodic oxidation coatings that have been sealed in an aqueous medium. Results obtained from different sealing methods or alloys with varying compositions may not be directly comparable. This method can be used as a production-control test or as an acceptance test when both the anodizer and the customer agree. It can be applied to any type of anodized component that meets certain requirements, such as having a sufficient area and a film thickness greater than 3 μm.

The article discusses a method for evaluating the quality of sealed anodic oxidation coatings on aluminium and its alloys. The method involves measuring the admittance and is applicable to coatings sealed in an aqueous medium. It is important to note that results may not be comparable if different sealing methods are used or if the alloys contain certain percentages of silicon, manganese, or magnesium. The method can be used as a production-control test or as an acceptance test with agreement between the anodizer and the customer. It can be applied to any type of anodized component, as long as there is a sufficient area for testing and the film thickness is greater than 3 μm.
