Description

Fluoride-free pickling method for titanium alloy
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of material surface treatment, and particularly relates to a fluorine-free acid pickling method for a titanium alloy.
Background
In the process of titanium alloy casting, sand andthe casting solution reacts, elements (mainly O, H, N, Zr) in the molding sand enter into the surface of the casting to form an 'alpha' contamination layer at high temperature, and the hard and brittle 'alpha' contamination layer is not beneficial to further processing or using the titanium casting. The method of alkali washing and acid washing is commonly adopted in China to remove the alpha fouling layer of the titanium alloy casting. In the acid cleaning, a hydrofluoric acid and nitric acid aqueous solution (5-7% hydrofluoric acid + 30-40% nitric acid + residual water) is generally used, and the chemical reaction formula is as follows: 3Ti +4HNO3+12HF→3TiF4+8H2O+4NO。
But hydrofluoric acid is a chemical reagent which is difficult to control and has strong poison to skin and respiratory tract, and has larger potential safety hazard in environmental protection in the using process. Due to the danger of hydrofluoric acid, enterprises such as 621 th and 725 th in China, northwest colored hospitals and Zunyi titanium factories all adopt a closed pickling line, complete safety protection equipment and waste liquid treatment equipment, so that the safety and environmental protection of pickling operation are guaranteed, but the cost of establishment, operation and maintenance is huge. There is an urgent need for a safe, efficient and environmentally friendly pickling method.

In order to achieve the purpose, the technical scheme adopted by the invention for solving the technical problems is as follows: the method for pickling the titanium alloy without the fluorine comprises the following steps in sequence:
(1) cutting the titanium alloy into strips of 20-30mm, removing oil and drying;
(2) uniformly mixing sodium hydroxide and sodium nitrate, heating to 400-500 ℃, then placing the dried sample obtained in the step (1) into molten salt for treatment for 2-3min, taking out the sample, quenching in water, cooling, and blow-drying to obtain an intermediate sample;
(3) and (3) adding oxalic acid into boiling water, then adding the intermediate sample obtained in the step (2), treating at the temperature of 90-100 ℃ for 20-30min until the surface is silvery white, and sequentially cleaning with clear water and air-drying to finish the fluorine-free pickling of the titanium alloy.
Further, in the step (1), the titanium alloy is ZTC 4.
Further, in the step (2), the mass ratio of the sodium hydroxide to the sodium nitrate is 340-.
Further, in the step (2), the mass ratio of the sodium hydroxide to the sodium nitrate is 350: 50.
Further, in the step (2), the temperature is raised to 450 ℃ after the sodium hydroxide and the sodium nitrate are uniformly mixed.
Further, in the step (3), the concentration of oxalic acid added to the boiling water is 20-40 wt%.
Further, in the step (3), the treatment is carried out at a temperature of 100 ℃ for 25 min.

1. the method does not use a fluorine-containing chemical reagent in the acid cleaning process, can remove an alpha-stained layer on the surface of the titanium alloy, reveals metallic luster, conceals visible crystal grains, is also suitable for castings with complex structures, and effectively solves the problems of large potential safety hazard, high operation and maintenance cost, large environmental pollution and the like in the conventional method for cleaning hydrofluoric acid.
2. Firstly, cutting titanium alloy, removing oil and drying, decomposing and stripping an oxide layer on the surface of the titanium alloy by using molten sodium hydroxide and molten sodium nitrate after pretreatment is finished, wherein the chemical mode is as follows:
TiO2+4NaOH→Na4TiO4+2H2O;
Ti+4NaOH+O→2Na4TiO3+2H2

Example 4

(1) cutting a ZTC4 casting into 30mm strips, and deoiling and drying;
(2) uniformly mixing sodium hydroxide and sodium nitrate, heating to 500 ℃, then placing the dried sample obtained in the step (1) into molten salt for treatment for 3min, taking out the sample, quenching in water, cooling, and blow-drying to obtain an intermediate sample; the mass ratio of the sodium hydroxide to the sodium nitrate is 360: 60;

The titanium alloy was pickled by the fluorine-free pickling method shown in example 3, and the appearance of the finished product was as shown in FIG. 1, and the observation and measurement of the "α" smear layer were performed by the metallographic staining method as shown in FIG. 2.
As can be seen from FIGS. 1-2, the thickness of the "α" contamination layer was less than 10 μm, and the pickling effect achieved the desired goal.
Comparative example 1
A fluorine-free pickling method for titanium alloy sequentially comprises the following steps:
(1) cutting a ZTC4 casting into 25mm strips, and deoiling and drying;
(2) uniformly mixing sodium hydroxide and sodium nitrate, heating to 450 ℃, then placing the dried sample obtained in the step (1) into molten salt for treatment for 3min, taking out the sample, quenching in water, cooling, and blow-drying to obtain an intermediate sample; the mass ratio of the sodium hydroxide to the sodium nitrate is 350: 50;
(3) and (3) putting the intermediate sample obtained in the step (2) into hydrofluoric acid and nitric acid aqueous solution (prepared by mixing hydrofluoric acid, nitric acid and water according to the volume ratio of 1:7: 12) for treatment for 7min, and sequentially cleaning with clear water and drying in the air to finish the fluorine-free pickling of the titanium alloy.
Experimental example 1
The experiment was conducted in accordance with the fluorine-free pickling method of titanium alloy shown in example 3, and the pickling was conducted in step (3) with oxalic acid solutions of different concentrations at different temperatures (25 ℃, 60 ℃ and 100 ℃) respectively, and the corrosion rates thereof were measured, and the results are shown in FIG. 3.
As can be seen from fig. 3, as the etching temperature increases, the etching rate of the oxalic acid solution to the metallic titanium increases greatly. The oxalic acid solution concentration can greatly accelerate the corrosion speed of titanium at 100 ℃, wherein the corrosion speed of the oxalic acid solution with the concentration of 25 wt% on the titanium metal is approximately equal to 20% of the corrosion speed of the traditional pickling solution (the hydrofluoric acid and nitric acid aqueous solution: hydrofluoric acid, nitric acid and water are mixed according to the volume ratio of 1:7: 12) on the titanium metal at room temperature. Further, considering that water in the solution evaporates relatively rapidly at 100 ℃ and the concentration of the oxalic acid solution changes, it is considered to directly perform pickling with a saturated aqueous oxalic acid solution (concentration of about 40 wt%) in a boiling state.
Experimental example 2
Respectively obtaining an original sample, a sample after acid pickling in example 3 and a sample after acid pickling in comparative example 1, wherein the appearance and the appearance are respectively shown in figure 4; in FIG. 4, a, b and c are the appearance and appearance of the original sample, the sample after acid cleaning of example 3 and the sample after acid cleaning of comparative example 1.
As can be seen from fig. 4, after the original sample is treated by the two treatment methods, the oxide layer is removed from the surface of the sample, the sample presents metallic luster, and the crystal grains are invisible, and the appearance of the sample treated by the two treatment methods can meet the pickling requirement; but the flatness of the sample obtained by the invention is higher.
Experimental example 3
Corroding the original sample, the sample after acid pickling in the example 3 and the sample after acid pickling in the comparative example 1 by using a dyeing reagent, and obtaining metallographic pictures of the samples, wherein the results are shown in a figure 5; in FIG. 5, a, b and c are the gold phase diagrams of the original sample, the sample after acid washing of example 3 and the sample after acid washing of comparative example 1. The thickness of the "α" stain layer of the stained specimen was also measured directly using a MeF3 research-grade metallographic microscope, and the results are shown in FIG. 6.
As can be seen from FIG. 5, the texture of the normal area of TC4 cast was yellowish brown, and the "α" stained layer was bright white. The sample obtained by the acid washing method can clearly display the condition of an alpha dirt layer on the edge, is convenient for measuring the thickness, and can avoid misjudgment on the alpha phase converted from the original beta crystal grains by dyeing.
As can be seen from fig. 6, the "α" stain layers of the samples treated in example 3 and comparative example 1 were thinner than the original samples, but were partially left, and the residual thickness of the "α" stain layer of the sample after the fluorine-free pickling method provided in example 3 was smaller. The above results indicate that the conventional method (hydrofluoric acid-nitric acid aqueous solution: hydrofluoric acid, nitric acid and water mixed at a volume ratio of 1:7: 12) has disadvantages and cannot find the residual "alpha" stain layer on the surface of the ZTC4 casting.
Experimental example 4
The microhardness from the surface to the inside of three samples (original sample, sample after acid cleaning in example 3 and sample after acid cleaning in comparative example 1) is respectively measured by adopting an HXD-1000TMB/LCD type microhardness tester; the first hardness test point was measured every 0.01mm from the edge, and the results are shown in FIG. 7.
As can be seen from FIG. 7, the sample surface treated by the fluorine-free pickling method had no "α" stain layer, the thickness of the "α" stain layer on the sample surface treated by the method shown in comparative example 1 was 0.02mm, and the hardness measurement result was substantially identical to the metallographic dyeing result in Experimental example 3.
While the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the illustrated embodiments, it should not be construed as limited to the scope of the present patent. Various modifications and changes may be made by those skilled in the art without inventive step within the scope of the appended claims.
