PROCEDURE FOR SEALING ANODICALLY MANUFACTURED OXIDE LAYERS ON ALUMINUM OR ALUMINUM ALLOYS

摘要

A process for sealing anodically produced oxide layers on aluminum and aluminum alloys by treating them with an aqueous solution at a temperature between about 90 DEG C. and its boiling point, wherein the aqueous solution has a pH of from about 4 to about 8 and and contains from about 0.0005 to about 0.5 g/l of at least one phosphinocarboxylic acid or its water-soluble salt.
