Product Description
900 Tons/Month Turnkey Micro-Arc Oxidation Production Line for New Energy Battery Trays
This turnkey micro-arc oxidation (MAO) production line is designed for manufacturers of new energy vehicle battery trays. The line covers the complete process chain from pre-treatment through micro-arc oxidation to post-treatment within a PLC-controlled automated system.
Micro-arc oxidation is an electrochemical surface treatment process that generates a ceramic oxide layer on the surface of aluminum, magnesium, and titanium alloys through micro-zone arc discharge in an electrolyte. The process uses a weak alkaline electrolyte without heavy metals, and the resulting ceramic layer is metallurgically bonded to the substrate, providing corrosion resistance, electrical insulation, and wear resistance for battery tray applications.

Micro-Arc Oxidation Process Flow
The production line follows a sequential multi-stage process:
  • Loading
  • Degreasing
  • Rinsing
  • Alkaline Cleaning
  • Rinsing
  • Acid Neutralization
  • Rinsing
  • Micro-Arc Oxidation
  • Multi-stage Rinsing
  • Post-treatment (Sealing/Impregnation)
  • Rinsing
  • Drying
  • Unloading
Each stage is controlled by the central PLC system, with automated transfer between tanks. Rinse stages incorporate cascading counter-flow to reduce water consumption. The micro-arc oxidation stage uses a dedicated pulse power supply with adjustable frequency, duty cycle, and voltage waveform. Electrolyte temperature is maintained within the process range by a circulation and cooling system.
Key Features
  • Controlled Film Thickness: The MAO power supply and PLC system regulate voltage, current density, and oxidation time to achieve target film thickness from 5 μm to 100 μm.
  • Automated Process Control: Central PLC system manages hoist movement schedules, immersion times, power supply parameters, and electrolyte circulation with real-time data logging.
  • Batch Consistency: Automated electrolyte circulation, temperature control, and dosing systems maintain stable bath composition for consistent results.
  • Temperature & Filtration Control: Circulation pump system, plate heat exchanger or chiller, and filtration units maintain electrolyte temperature within 20-40°C.
  • Flexible Surface Finishing: Accommodates different pre-treatment and post-treatment options based on specific requirements.
  • Environmental Compliance: Uses weak alkaline electrolyte without heavy metals, equipped with wastewater treatment and exhaust gas collection systems.
Production Line Configuration
A typical line layout includes the following major equipment:
  • Pre-treatment System: Degreasing tank, alkaline cleaning tank, acid neutralization tank, multi-stage rinsing tanks
  • MAO Power Supply: Dedicated high-voltage pulse power supply with adjustable parameters
  • Oxidation Tank System: Corrosion-resistant tank with cathode system and uniform electric field design
  • Electrolyte Circulation & Cooling System: Circulation pumps, heat exchanger or chiller, filtration units
  • Automated Transfer System: Gantry crane or rail-mounted hoist system
  • PLC Control Cabinet: Central control with touchscreen HMI, recipe management, and data logging
  • Post-treatment System: Sealing/impregnation equipment, pure water rinsing, and drying system
  • Exhaust & Scrubber System: Fume hoods with exhaust gas treatment
  • Wastewater Treatment System: pH adjustment, sedimentation, and filtration for discharge compliance
The line footprint and tank dimensions are customized based on maximum workpiece size and required throughput.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What is the difference between micro-arc oxidation and conventional anodizing?
Micro-arc oxidation operates at higher voltages than conventional anodizing, generating micro-zone arc discharge on the metal surface. This produces a ceramic oxide layer that is metallurgically bonded to the substrate, with higher hardness (400-3,000 HV compared to 200-400 HV for conventional anodizing) and improved corrosion resistance. The process uses a weak alkaline electrolyte without heavy metals.
Q2: What film thickness is suitable for battery trays?
For battery tray applications, typical film thickness ranges from 50 μm to 100 μm to provide enhanced corrosion protection and electrical insulation. Thinner coatings (5-20 μm) may be suitable for precision components where dimensional tolerance is a concern.
Q3: What is the typical lead time for line delivery and installation?
Lead time and installation schedule are confirmed based on project scope. Equipment manufacturing, shipment, installation, and commissioning proceed according to the project plan after design confirmation. (Actual timeline is subject to project scope confirmation.)
Q4: How is the 900 tons/month capacity calculated?
Capacity is calculated as: Monthly throughput = (Surface area per rack × Racks per hour × Operating hours) ÷ Average surface area per ton. Actual throughput depends on part geometry, racking density, and required film thickness.
Q5: What alloys are supported?
The line supports aluminum alloys (including 6061, 6063, and die-cast grades) and magnesium alloys (including AZ91D and AM60) commonly used in battery tray manufacturing.
Q6: Does the line include environmental compliance equipment?
Yes. The line is equipped with wastewater treatment and exhaust gas collection systems. Micro-arc oxidation uses a weak alkaline electrolyte without heavy metals, and the specific treatment configuration is customized based on local environmental regulations.
