Studies were made of the effects of kind and concentration of additives and quantity of solution per unit area upon the thickness of boehmite films formed in boiling solutions.
The following results were obtained.
(1) The thicknesses of boehmite films formed on aluminum sheets were determined in the following three kinds of solutions:
(a) In triethanolamine solution
(b) In aqueous ammonia
(c) In deionized water} treating in boiling for 60min.
As the results, the former two gave the thicknesses about twice as large as that of the last.
(2) The pH value of the above (b) solution was varied with the time of boiling. Whereas, the above (a) solution showed no such a variation. Therefore, it may be concluded that (a) solution is superior to (b) solution in the stability of pH value.
(3) A relation was found between the treating time and triethanolamine concentration for maximum thickness of boehmite film formed on aluminum sheets when the liquid quantity per unit area was 0.5l/dm2. For example, the treating time was 5min. for 0.5% concentration, and was 15min, for 1.5% concentration.
(4) The thickness of boehmite film formed on aluminum sheets in 0.5% solution of triethanolamine was increased with the increase in liquid quantity per unit area; however, it was kept constant when the quantity per unit area was 3.0l/dm2 or more.
It was confirmed that the following experimental equation was established between the thickness of boehmite film under the above conditions d(μ), and the treating time, t(min.): d=0.137t2/3.
(5) The effect of the liquid quantity per unit area was found to be more marked than that of the concentration of triethanolamine on the thickness of the boehmite film.
