How to remove the oxide layer in the aluminum foil with a chemical process?
Aluminum is easy to react with oxygen in the air, so even if you remove the aluminium oxide in the surface, it will soon be oxidized again.
Generally, we adopt the method of alkali corrosion to remove the oxide layer on the surface of the aluminum foil.The purpose of alkali corrosion is removing the oxide layer on the surface of the aluminum foil. (Note: Technological process of the method is as follows: under normal temperature, 20% nitric acid; the process parameters is about 0.5 minutes. Pre-degrease--degrease--rinsing--rinsing--alkali corrosion--rinsing--rinsing--bright dipping--rinsing--rinsing--pure rinsing. The purpose of bright dipping is to remove surface residual black ash after alkali corrosion.Temperature:50-60 degrees; time:0.5-1 minutes.The purpose of degreasing is to remove grease on the surface of the aluminum foil.The process parameters is 0.5-1 minutes. You can use acid to wash it.
