ALUMINUM EXTERIOR PANEL AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18581657 titled 'ALUMINUM EXTERIOR PANEL AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING SAME
The manufacturing method of an aluminum exterior panel involves preparing an aluminum material, anodizing to create pores on the surface, atmospheric-pressure plasma treating to enhance hydrophilicity, digital printing for color and image implementation, and sealing to close the pores.
- Aluminum material is prepared for the exterior panel.
- Anodizing is used to form pores on the surface of the aluminum material.
- Atmospheric-pressure plasma treating at room temperature improves the hydrophilicity of the surface.
- Digital printing is employed to add color and images to the aluminum surface.
- Sealing is done to close the pores on the surface.
Potential Applications: - This technology can be used in the manufacturing of aluminum exterior panels for buildings, vehicles, and other structures. - It can also be applied in the production of decorative aluminum panels for interior design purposes.
Problems Solved: - Enhances the hydrophilicity of the aluminum surface, improving adhesion of coatings and inks. - Provides a method for adding color and images to aluminum panels with precision and durability.
Benefits: - Improved surface properties for better adhesion and durability. - Enhanced aesthetic appeal with digital printing capabilities. - Efficient and cost-effective manufacturing process for aluminum exterior panels.
Commercial Applications: "Advanced Manufacturing Method for Aluminum Exterior Panels: Enhancing Durability and Aesthetics" This technology can revolutionize the production of aluminum exterior panels for various commercial applications, including construction, automotive, and interior design industries. The improved surface properties and digital printing capabilities offer a competitive edge in the market.
Questions about the manufacturing method of an aluminum exterior panel: 1. How does atmospheric-pressure plasma treating enhance the hydrophilicity of the aluminum surface? 2. What are the key advantages of digital printing on aluminum panels?
Original Abstract Submitted
A manufacturing method of an aluminum exterior panel including: preparing an aluminum material; anodizing to form pores on a surface of the aluminum material; performing atmospheric-pressure plasma treating, at room-temperature, to improve hydrophilicity of the surface of the aluminum material on which the pores are formed; digital printing of implementing a color and an image on the surface of the aluminum material with improved hydrophilicity; and sealing to close the pores.
