[Underlined] Process Check on Anodic Axidation to D.T.D. 910A. Y Shed. 26th August, 1942. [/underlined]
[Underlined] Preparation. [/underlined]
Parts are effectively cleaned prior to treatment in a hot solution os [sic] Zonax Cleaner, followed by washing in hot water.
[Underlined] Electrolyte. [/underlined]
Is tested approximately one per week for C.R.O.3 content. Last test report was dated 25/8/42 and free C.R.O.3 content was 2.2. Bath is agitated by menas [sic] of circulation by electric pump. Bath and rails are in good clean condition and parts are correctly suspended from anode rail on aluminium wire.
A batch of parts was watched through entire process and voltage time cycle was to specification requirements. Temperature was maintained at 100°F (37.8°C) by means of steam pipes, which is within required limits. Cathodes are of staybrite stainless steel.
[Underlined] Cleaning after Treatment. [/underlined]
Parts are washed in cold, then hot running water and allowed to dry.
[Underlined] Tests. [/underlined]
The feel of the anodised surface was correct. The film was marked with methyl-violet dye, which when rubbed with a damp cloth did not produce any loss of colour.
Process as viewed is considered satisfactory.
