Description

Electrolytic solution and the coating for depositing the purposes of black ruthenium coating and obtaining in this way thereof
The present invention relates to a kind of ruthenium electrolytic solution that deposition has the ornamental of specific blackness and industrialness layer that is suitable for.The invention further relates to and use in one approach this used for electrolyte of the present invention to there is the ornamental of specific blackness and industrialness ruthenium layer (" black ruthenium ") in deposition on jewelry, ornamental commodity, the consumer's goods and industrial article.Therefore the present invention relates to corresponding layer and equally by the article of coating in this way.
The consumer's goods and industrial article, jewelry and ornamental commodity are upgraded for corrosion prevention and/or optics with thin oxidation-stabilized metal level coating.Even if must to be mechanicalness stable and also should not show corrosion or wear phenomenon in long-term use for these layers.The mode of producing the empirical tests of this class layer is electro-plating method, by these electro-plating methods, can obtain many metals and alloy layer with high quality form.The example of knowing from daily life is bronze and layer of brass, the chromium coating on vehicle component, zinc-plated instrument or the gold plate on watchband in door handle or knob By Electrolysis formula deposition.
Concrete challenge in field of electroplating is to produce metal level oxidation-stabilized and that mechanicalness is strong, and these metal levels have black color and not only can decorate and jewelry industry is interesting but also can be used for industrial application (for example, at sun power sciemtifec and technical sphere).Only there are several metals to be available for producing these oxidation-stabilized black layers.Except ruthenium, rhodium and nickel are suitable.Because high raw materials cost, the use of Noble Metal Rhodium is limited to jewelry industry.Due to nickel be contactant containing nickel metal layer, cheap nickel and the use of nickel-containing alloys are only possible and will observe strict rules under exception, especially in jewelry and consumer lines industry.For described all Application Areass, using ruthenium is a kind of attractive replacement scheme.
For produce the electrolytic solution of black ruthenium layer at electro-plating method, be known in the art.The ruthenium (US 6117301, US 3576724, JP 63259095, WO 2001/011113, DE 19741990, US 4375392, JP 2054792, EP 1975282) of the ruthenium that the bath (baths) that those use the most widely comprises the form in the complex compound with thionamic acid or conduct time amino chlorine (nitridochloro) or inferior amino bromine (nitridobromo) complex compound.The pH of these baths is often in acid range.
DE1959907 has described and in a kind of plating bath, has used double-core ruthenium complex [Ru 2nCl xbr 8- x(H 2o) 2] 3-.In one embodiment, used inferior amino chloro-complex [Ru 2nCl 8(H 2o) 2] 3-.JP56119791 relates to a kind of containing from the ruthenium of 1g/l to 20g/l and is selected from the ruthenium electrolytic solution of the compound of group or the derivative of mentioned these compounds together with one or more, this group is comprised of the following: dicarboxylic acid and tricarboxylic acid, Phenylsulfonic acid, containing N aromatics and amino acid, and additionally used therein from the sulfocompound of 0.01g/l to 10g/l as melanism additive.
In order to make jewelry and the upgrading of ornamental commodity, black layer must not only have outstanding mechanical adhesion intensity and also will have flawless optical quality.They must produce and have very dark blackness as requested with the form of light or dumb light.This is at industrial trade, especially applicable equally in the application of sun power science and technology.For making the black layer of consumer's goods upgrading also must meet the harsh requirement with regard to mechanical stability.Especially, even through the long-term time, they also must wear and tear without any black under frequent use.
In the prior art the described ruthenium that meets these requirements bathe and processing requirement use toxicology on problematic compound (as sulfocompound) as melanism additive or comprise other transition metal so that desired mechanical adhesion intensity to be provided, this makes in deposition process, to be difficult to this bath to be safeguarded.In addition, acid bath only allows to deposit on the metal with relative inertness characteristic.
According to US 4082625, the ruthenium settling of light color can also obtain in alkaline range.US 350049 has described a kind of method for deposit ruthenium within the scope of the pH of 9-10.By complex anion (EDTA, NTA, CDTA), ruthenium is remained in the solution within the scope of this pH.Obtained the stable still ruthenium settling of light color.
In US 4297178, described, in the nonacid bath of water-based, also used the inferior amino chloro-complex of ruthenium for galvanic deposit ruthenium.It contains oxalic acid or oxalate negatively charged ion extraly.Problematic is whether the settling of producing by this way has suitable blackness.
Consider the prior art of quoting at this, an object of the present invention is to provide a kind of stable electrolytic solution and its purposes, can on these metals, produce lasting as far as possible and black as far as possible ruthenium settling thus.In addition also just should likely in strong acidic environment, on unsettled article, deposit.
These objects and the other object that can draw from prior art in a kind of obvious mode can realize by a kind of electrolytic solution with the characteristic properties of claim 1.In claim 2-9, pointed out the favourable embodiment of this electrolytic solution of the present invention.Electrolytic solution of the present invention purposes has in the method for the invention been described in claim 10-19.These settled layers are followed claim 20-24.Claim 25 is for the article of coating by this way.
