Mechanism of Acid Pickling for Al-Si Alloy before Spiral Vibration Polishing
It is an necessary procedure to wash the workpiece with mixed acid before the spiral vibration polishing
however
the mechanism of acid pickling can not be well understood. The composition and roughness of the surface of aluminum alloy samples before and after acid pickling were examined by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and contour measure apparatus. The results show that major Si phase in surface of aluminum alloy samples is dissolved by acid to form Al

film with higher roughness after acid pickling
which is cut by the succedent spiral vibration polishing to form a more smooth and bright polished surface.
