Anodisation Process

As an OEM/custom machined metal parts manufacturer, Unison Tek is not just experienced in the turning and milling process, but also have had affiliated companies who can take care of different surface treatments for us – anodisation.

For example, it is a process that’s being heavily used on our machined parts.

What is anodisation?

Anodizing is an electrolyticpassivation process used to increase the thickness of the natural oxidelayer on the surface of metal parts.

The process is called anodizing because the part to be treated forms the anode electrode of an electrolytic cell. Anodizing increases resistance to corrosion and wear, and provides better adhesion for paint primers and glues than bare metal does.

Anodic films can also be used for a number of cosmetic effects, either with thick porous coatings that can absorb dyes or with thin transparent coatings that add interference effects to reflected light.

Types of anodising

1) Chromic Acid Anodising

Rarely used, but suitable for castings and in situations where a reduction in fatigue strength is not acceptable. Film thicknesses are the thinnest of the three common processes. However, it’s not ideal for when coloring is needed.

2) Sulphuric Acid Anodising

Used in a variety of occations. A range of oxide layer thicknesses can be achieved as can effective colouring, most commonly achieved by the application of a secondary colouring treatment.

3) Hard Anodising

Hard Anodising is ultimately is the thickest form of anodising, creating an oxide layer which is between 20-100 Microns thick, depending on the base alloy being treated.

It offers the highest increases in hardness, wear resistance and electrical resistance and is primarily a functional coating.

Case Study: Issues we ran into when anodizing:

-Fixation for anodisation/ jigging marks: It’s prone to corrosion and bruises.

-Blind holes: Electrolyte will not able to get into the blind holes, thus creating uneven appearances.

-Insufficient packaging/ impact while shipping the goods is likely to create marks.

Preventative measures:

• -Reinforce inspection equipment: anodisation thickness testers, durometers, salt spray test machine
• -Tapes applied to mask the area while anodising
• -Reinfoce packaging sufficiency

Benefits of Anodizing

• Corrosion resistance: Protects the metal from moisture and chemicals.
• Wear resistance: Increases surface hardness.
• Aesthetic finish: Allows for a matte or colored appearance.
• Environmentally friendly: No heavy metals or toxic by-products.
• Stable surface: Will not peel or chip like paint or plating.

Common Applications

• Consumer electronics (e.g., smartphone casings)
• Architectural components (e.g., window frames)
• Automotive and aerospace parts
• Kitchenware and sports equipment

Introduction of Production Part Approval Process

PPAP is used in the automotive supply chain for establishing confidence in suppliers and their production processes. Actual measurements are taken of the parts produced and are used to complete the various test sheets of PPAP.

Although individual manufacturers have their own particular requirements, the Automotive Industry Action Group (AIAG) has developed a common PPAP standard as part of the Advanced Product Quality Planning (APQP) – and encourages the use of common terminology and standard forms to document project status.

The PPAP process is designed to demonstrate that a supplier has developed their design and production process to meet the client's requirements, minimizing the risk of failure by effective use of APQP.

Requests for part approval must therefore be supported in official PPAP format and with documented results when needed.

The purpose of any Production Part Approval Process (PPAP) is to ensure that a supplier can meet the manufacturability and quality requirements of the parts supplied to the customer to provide evidence.

Tthe customer engineering design record and specification requirements are clearly understood and fulfilled by the supplier to demonstrate that the established manufacturing process has the potential to produce the part that consistently meets all requirements during the actual production run at the quoted production rate.

As such, at Unison Tek, we have a strict series of quality control procedures. IPQC, FQC, OQC is in place to make sure the parts are being closely monitored during production. And PPAP documentation can be arranged, if it’s per our customer’s requirement.

When working with us, customers can always feel an extra sense of assurance, as we take the quality of their machining parts as seriously, as if they are ours.

Worker Safety in Production Line

Worker safety in a production line is crucial for ensuring the health and well-being of employees, as well as for maintaining productivity and efficiency in manufacturing operations. A safe work environment helps prevent accidents, injuries, and illnesses, which can result in costly downtime and legal issues.

Why automating an industrial operation in the production line? "Worker Safety" is an important reason for that. It often remove workers from the workplace, thus safeguarding them against the hazards of the factory environment.

In the United States the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (OSHA) was enacted with the national objective of making work safer and protecting the physical well-being of the worker.

The reduction of the average working hours of the factory works is another benefit of the automation. It really promotes the use of automation and robotics in the factory.Finally, the time required to process a typical production order through the factory is generally reduced with automation.

Introduction of CNC Sliding Head Lathe

CNC Sliding Head Lathes are also known as Swiss Auto Lathes. The unique technology behind the sliding head lathes is associated with a bar being push through CNC machine’s headstock and being gripped by a collet.

Conventional Lathe with a Fixed Headstock

In a conventional lathe with a fixed headstock, the worpiece is firmly clamped in a chuck or collet and then each type of tools need changing manually after it serves its turn.  What separates a Swiss machine from other types is that the headstock moves.

The bar comes out of a guide bushing and extends into the machining area. A Swiss machine can produce sophisticated parts, performing more than one operation and can be equipped with numerous tools to cut and shape the workpiece in just one setting.

According to the sizes of parts you are going to work on and the complexity of your tasks, a Swiss machine or two could cut down cycle times and reduce defect loss.

Heat treatment

Heat treatment refers to an industrial application, with which workers may heat or chill an item at extreme temperatures, to achieve a result that a designated material can be hardened to a desirable extent.

Heat treatment ranges from annealing, case hardening, precipitation strengthening, tempering, normalizing to quenching.

We often associate heat treatment with an increase in the strength of material, but heat treatment can actually serve to improve machining performance, enhance the plasticity of an object, or even make an object resilient after it has been kept in a freezer for a long period of time.

Steels

Steels are especially suitable for heat treatment for the reason that they are in nature well responsive to heat treatment.  Needless to say, the use of steels goes far beyond that of any other materials in terms of industrial applications.

Film thicknesses in aluminium are in the range of 5-25 Microns, with 10-15 required for effective colouring using dyes.
