Hard anodizing is not covered by this European Standard. The purpose of this European Standard is to give design, quality and manufacturing requirements. It does not give complete in-house process instructions; these shall be given in the manufacturers detailed process instructions. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.

EN 4827:2017 (E) 5 3 Purpose of process The anodizing is an electrochemical process voltage controlled allowing transforming the metal surface in a microporous oxide layer made of alumina. The aim of this treatment is to ensure a protection against the corrosion, and/or to be used as an adhesion base before bonding or before painting. This anodizing is generally sealed for protection corrosion application (with or without painting or bonding) and can stay unsealed when the part is bonded or painted. This specification is applicable on aluminium and aluminium alloys generally on single parts. Hard anodizing and plasma electrolytic anodizing dedicated to wear protection are not covered by this specification. 3.1 Applicability 3.1.1 Type A: unsealed anodizing It shall be used either as surface preparation before the application of painting/bonding or any other finishing. 3.1.2 Type B: sealed anodizing It is intended for corrosion protection. It shall be with or without dyeing and used with or without additional painting. See Table 1. Table 1 — Different application cases

EN 4827:2017 (E) 6 3.2 Limitations All processes that can compromise the anodic film such as forming, or heat-treatment shall be performed prior to surface preparation of the parts to be anodized. Anodizing shall not be applied:  in electric conductivity zones/areas;  for tubes, pipes and open holes with a length to diameter ratio higher than 10:1 (unless using specific cathode);  for trapped holes with a length to a diameter ratio greater than 5:1;  for parts or assemblies (e.g. spot-welded and riveted), which can permanently entrap treatment solutions;  for components which can permanently entrap treatment solutions, except components that can be adequately masked.
NOTE The formation of oxide layer influences the dimensions of the part and is to be considered for close tolerance parts. 4 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply. 4.1 de-anodizing
process, which removes the anodic oxide 4.2 smut precipitations of alloying elements (e.g. Cu, Fe, Zn, Si) on the surface of parts after a process step normally after alkaline etching step 4.3 Mechanically Disturbed Layer MDL layer that is present at the surface resulting from the rolling process of the material 4.4 pit surface corrosion defect at which the anodic coating is penetrated
Note 1 to entry: Typical characteristics of corrosion pits are:  rounded or irregular or elongated geometry,  comet tail or line or halo that emerges from the cavity,  some corrosion by-products inside pits (on aluminium specimens the by-product may be granular, powdery or amorphous and white, grey or black in colour). To be considered as a corrosion pit, a surface cavity must exhibit at least two of the above characteristics. SIST EN 4827:2017



EN 4827:2017 (E) 7 4.5 process instruction document that describes the application scopes, detailed process (key parameters, detailed steps, etc.), quality management, environmental and safety regulations, etc.
4.6 alloys all aluminium alloys, that are treated with the chromate free anodizing process in the specific shop 4.7 re-anodizing
repetition of the anodizing process step after complete de-anodizing
4.8 sealing chromate free sealing (of the anodized layers) is applied to close the pores produced by the acid anodizing process.
Note 1 to entry: It is usually applied in hot demineralized water bath with or without additives at different temperatures. Sealing improves the corrosion resistance performance of the anodic film. 4.9. batch unless otherwise specified, it comprises parts of the same type (i.e. shape, size, material), processed at the same time in the same bath
5 Protection system classification 5.1 System types Anodizing layer is classified by the two following types:  Type A: unsealed anodizing: It shall be used as surface preparation before the application of painting/ bonding or any other finish.  Type B: sealed anodizing: It is intended for corrosion protection. It shall be with or without dyeing and used with or without additional painting. 5.2 Layer thicknesses See Table 2.

6 Process requirements 6.1 Information for the processor  type and class designation,  substrate standard reference and heat treatment,  areas to be anodized,  anodized thickness measuring points,  electrical contact points or areas where these are inadmissible,  specification for testing on parts and/or samples. 6.2 Condition of parts prior to the treatment Welding, soldering/brazing, mechanical operations and heat treatments shall have been completed.  the parts shall be free of oil, grease, marking inks and other surface contaminations;  the surface shall be free from precipitations or smut from alloying elements or pre-processes indicated by the bright and uniform appearance of the surface;  mechanically disturbed layer shall be removed either by mechanical or chemical processes;  in case of re-anodizing all residuals from the previous anodizing shall be completely removed. 6.3 Process conditions 6.3.1 Tooling
The tools, bars, electrical contact systems, and metal masking tooling must be free of corrosion or any other damage which may be detrimental to the treatment during use. The part racks and tools must be designed and set up in such a manner as to:  avoid any retention of air or treatment solution in the parts,  facilitate neutralization and removal of solutions during rinsing operations,  the electrical contacts must be kept in good condition for the correct passage of the current  avoid any accidental contact between the parts to be treated and the tank equipment or electrodes, and between the different parts during all the process.  electrical contact points should be defined between purchaser and processor;  the fixturing tools (e.g. in aluminium alloy or titanium) must provide effective electrical contact with the parts;  the contact is preferably achieved at several points in order to ensure better current distribution.
