Description

Heater plug and spark plug and manufacture method thereof
Technical field
The present invention relates to be used for the heater plug of preheating diesel engine or analog, the spark plug and the manufacture method thereof of internal-combustion engine.
Background technique
In general, in the structure of heater plug, resistance heater is arranged in the main metal shell, and connecting thread part of the formation in appearance of this shell makes the front end heating part of resistance heater extend through arbitrary end face of main metal shell.This helical thread portion is used for heater plug is connected in engine head.
The spark plug that is used for the petrol engine igniting of automobile or analog is equipped with an insulating component and a metal shell that is arranged on the insulating component outside that is arranged on the contre electrode outside.In addition, be used for being connected in above-mentioned main metal shell with a ground electrode of contre electrode formation spark-discharge gap.The connecting thread of main metal shell outer surface setting partly is used for spark plug is connected in the cylinder head of motor.
Main metal shell is normally made as carbon steel with iron material, and its body plan must have the surface of zinc-plated corrosion protection.Though zinc coat has the fabulous anticorrosion ability for iron,, the zinc coat that forms on iron may be owing to well-known sacrificial corrsion is easy to consume.Worse, zinc coat fades and bleaches owing to the zinc oxidation, makes appearance quality become bad.Therefore, the major component body plan of heater plug and spark plug must make the surface coverage chromate film of zinc coat to prevent the corrosion of coating.
The chromate film that forms on the main metal shell of heater plug and spark plug is so-called yellow chromate film always.Because yellow chromate film has fabulous decay resistance, thereby yellow chromate film is widely used in various fields, comprises the coating of can internal surface and heater plug and spark plug.Because it is Cr VI that a part contains chromium component, thereby because protecting, global concern for the environment progressively bans use of yellow chromate film in recent years.For example, in heater plug and a large amount of auto industry fields that use of spark plug, considered that forbidding contains chromic chromate film.Bathe the Cr VI that contains high concentration owing to be used for forming the processing of yellow chromate film, thereby the problem that is produced is to need too high cost for dispose of wastewater.
Therefore, relatively early working out a kind of not chromyl chromate film period, that is, a kind of contained chromium component substantially all be chromic film.Therefore, having developed the chromic processing bath or the not chromyl processing that contain relatively low concentration bathes.Therefore, overcome the problem of waste water dis posal.But, adopt chromic chromate film and yellow chromate film relatively, problem is that Corrosion Protection is unsatisfactory.Therefore, the yellow chromate film of extensive use still is unrealized as the plated film of heater plug and spark plug.
In addition, the common issue with that comprises the traditional chromic acid salt film of yellow chromate film is that heat resistance is unsatisfactory.For example since motor car engine the cylinder head that is connecting spark plug is housed is with water-cooled, thereby make the temperature of spark plug can be not too high.When motor applying under the condition of big thermal load or when spark plug connect when gas exhaust manifold is nearer during continuous firing, the temperature of main metal shell is increased to about 200 ℃ to 300 ℃ sometimes.In said circumstances, it is bad that chromate film is easy to become.Therefore, caused problem is that change is bad rapidly for decay resistance.In addition, it is bad that the problem of traditional chromate film is that performance becomes, and this is because acid ingredient, for example carbon dioxide that contains in the acid rain, nitrogen oxides or sulfur oxide, and the invasion and attack of the acid water that motor produces in the situation of natural gas engine.
Summary of the invention
The purpose of this invention is to provide a kind of heater plug and spark plug with chromate film, described chromate film covers the surface of main metal shell, and contain in a small amount Cr VI, compare with the heater plug of traditional chromate film and spark plug and manufacture method thereof, have fabulous Corrosion Protection and resistance to heat.
In order to address the above problem, according to one aspect of the present invention, a kind of heater plug is provided, it comprises: a resistance heater that is arranged in the main metal shell, the front end of resistance heater extends through arbitrary end face of main metal shell, and wherein, the surface of main metal shell is coated with chromate film, this chromate film contains 95wt% or the more trivalent chromium that accounts for contained chromium component, and has the thickness of 0.2 μ m to 0.5 μ m.
In addition, according to another aspect of the present invention, provide a kind of spark plug, it comprises a contre electrode; An insulating component that is arranged on the contre electrode outside; A main metal shell that is arranged on the insulating component outside; And one be oppositely arranged to form the ground electrode of spark-discharge gap with contre electrode, wherein, the main metal shell surface is coated with chromate film, and this chromate film contains 95wt% or the more trivalent chromium that accounts for contained chromium component, and has the thickness of 0.2 μ m to 0.5 μ m.
Said structure is arranged to such an extent that make the main metal shell surface be coated with chromate film, and this chromate film contains and accounts for contained chromium component 95wt% or more trivalent chromium, and has the thickness of 0.2 μ m to 0.5 μ m.That is to say that common yellow chromate film contains about 25% to 35wt% the Cr VI that accounts for chromium component, yet contain the 5wt% that accounts for chromium component or a small amount of Cr VI still less according to film of the present invention.Therefore, can improve environmental protection effect.The chromate treatment solution that is adopted compares with the Treatment Solution that is used to form yellow chromate film, does not contain any Cr VI, or contains Cr VI in a small amount.Therefore, the waste water dis posal problem can not appear.
The present inventor considers, for example, the chromate film that is called the gloss of monochrome film (uni-chrome film) can not be realized needed gratifying corrosion resistance characteristic of main metal shell and heat resistance in heater plug and the main Environmental Conditions of spark plug with traditional trivalent chromium film such as blue chromate film with little thickness of 0.1 μ m.Therefore, once carry out the investigation of relevant thickness energetically.As a result, detected thickness range, thereby made the present invention for the recommendation of heater plug and spark plug.That is to say that when chromate film thickness is made 0.2 μ m or when bigger, mainly the decay resistance of the chromate film that is made of trivalent chromium can obtain sizable improvement.Therefore, the durability of opposing main metal shell corrosion can be improved fully.In the heater plug environment relevant with spark plug, temperature may be easy to promote exhaust gas constituents (CO 2And NO x) acid etch that causes can't prevent that in this environment, the decay resistance of main metal shell can be kept satisfactorily.
In the structure of heater plug major component, make the wiring axle of resistance heater energising be provided with to such an extent that make the wiring shaft rear end extend through the other end of main metal shell.In addition, be used for nut and wiring shaft rear end that electricity cable is fixed on the wiring axle are partly gone up the male screw portion engagement that forms.In said circumstances, at least a portion on nut surface is coated with chromate film.Therefore, nut and main metal shell all can have gratifying decay resistance and resistance to heat.
The part of spark plug is equipped with a ring washer, and it must be contained on the bottom of engage threads part of outer surface of main metal shell.When the helical thread portion of main metal shell is tightened in the screw on the cylinder head, the packing ring compressive deformation, resemble it and between the periphery of flange shape gas seal part on the helical thread portion bottom and screw opening, be squeezed, so that the space between sealing screw and the gas hermetic unit.In said circumstances, at least a portion of washer face can be coated with above-mentioned chromate film.Therefore, packing ring and main metal shell all can have gratifying decay resistance and resistance to heat.
When the thickness of chromate film during, can not realize gratifying decay resistance and resistance to heat less than 0.2 μ m.When this thickness during greater than 0.5 μ m, film can the crack take place and/or film is peeled off easily, therefore, makes decay resistance undesirably become bad.The thickness of chromate film is preferably 0.3 μ m to 0.5 μ m.Chromate film does not preferably contain Cr VI substantially.
Chromate technology is conversion one of (conversion) treatment process, during just oxidized and wash-out, chromium component is substituted and accumulation when base metal.Therefore, must not use the metal that can be eluted in the chromate processing bath as base metal from the nothing electricity chromate technology of external world's power supply.The main metal shell of heater plug and spark plug, nut or packing ring generally all are that iron material constitutes as carbon steel.Therefore, the major metal composition is that the zinc class coating of zinc can form on the surface of main metal shell, nut or packing ring to prevent corrosion.Zinc coating is as the preferred base metals that forms chromate film.In said circumstances, the zinc composition of wash-out is brought into chromate film usually.It should be noted that by carrying out known electrogalvanising or molten zinc plating and can form zinc coat.When adopting the electrolytic chromate processing method,, also can form chromate film even be in the situation of nickeling layer of nickel at the major metal composition.
When base metal is a zinc coat, and on substrate metal layer, form when satisfying the chromate film of above-mentioned thickness range, the white rust that zinc-plated erosion causes (white rust) total surface about 20% or more on needed time occurs and can reach " the neutral brine spray test " of the chapter 5 of the coating corrosion resistance test of having carried out meeting JIS H8502 40 hours or longer afterwards.The needed above-mentioned decay resistance level of the main metal shell of heater plug and spark plug is gratifying level.
When substrate metal layer is to be made of zinc coat, and form when having the chromate film of above-mentioned thickness, even also can realize gratifying durability in the test that the temperature of heater plug and spark plug improves in supposition Environmental Conditions subsequently.That is to say, when in atmosphere, under 200 ℃ temperature, heating 30 minutes, and when meeting " the neutral brine spray test " of chapter 5 of coating corrosion resistance test of JIS H8502, the white rust that zinc-plated erosion causes total surface about 20% or more on the required time occurs and can be 40 hours or longer.
In addition, in supposition heater plug and spark plug are subjected to test subsequently in the Environmental Conditions of etch of acid, also can realize gratifying durability.That is to say, the white rust that zinc-plated erosion causes total surface about 20% or more on the required time appears for " the CASS test " of the chapter 7 of the coating corrosion resistance test of having carried out meeting JISH8502 20 hours or longer afterwards.
In method according to manufacturing heater plug of the present invention and spark plug, main metal shell (or nut, or packing ring) immerses in the chromate processing bath, this processing is bathed and is contained chromic salt and trivalent chromium and be blended in wherein complexant, thereby go up at main metal shell (or nut, or packing ring) and to form above-mentioned chromate film.
Chromate processing bath contains chromic salt and chromic complexant.Therefore, can form the chromate film of densification and the thick trivalent chromium class that can not form with common chromate processing method.Therefore, can easily form as chromate film key component, that have the trivalent chromium class of 0.2 μ m to 0.5 μ m thickness according to heater plug of the present invention and spark plug.A kind of method of above-mentioned chromate film has been disclosed among open text DE 19638176 A1 of D.B.P., will describe this method below.
As mentioned above, established a kind of theory, when chromate film forms, will make at first oxidized and wash-out in handling bath of base metal (for example, zinc).Eluted base metal member composition and the solution that contains chromate ion react to each other, because hydroxyl or oxo bridge (oxygen bridges), trivalent chromium forms polymer shape complex, thus on the base metal component surface complex of deposit glue.In said circumstances, chromate film just can generate when only the deposit of contained chromate ion takes place simultaneously in the wash-out of base metal and groove.When having big thickness when chromate film deposit, the elution of reactive of base metal member is suppressed, and therefore, the generation of film also is suppressed.
According to the open text of above-mentioned D.B.P., reduce the speed of the chromate film reverse dissolution of deposit, improve the speed of base metal member dissolving simultaneously and because the speed that the base metal member composition of dissolving and the reaction between the trivalent chromium make the film deposit, this thickness for the formed film of increase is very important.Can think that said method can make the thickness of film increase, this is to make the trivalent chromium coordination can promote the accumulation of film owing to add suitable complexant in groove.
Effectively complexant can be any (dicarboxylic acids, tricarboxylic acids, oxyacid (hydroxydicarboxylic acid or the hydroxyl tricarboxylic acids: for example in the various chelating agents, oxalic acid, malonic acid, succinic acid, glutaric acid, adipic acid, pimelic acid, suberic acid, selenous acid, decanedioic acid, maleic acid (meleic acid), phthalic acid, terephthalic acids, tartaric acid (2, the 3-dyhydrobutanedioic acid), citric acid, malic acid (hydroxysuccinic acid) or ascorbic acid).Also can use other a kind of complexant.Operable complexant is disclosed in the open text of above-mentioned D.B.P..
In order to increase the thickness of film, it also is effective that the temperature of chromate processing bath is brought up to about 20 ℃ to about 80 ℃.When the temperature of handling bath is lower than 20 ℃,, temperature effect can not realize substantially because increasing the effect of thickness.When temperature is 80 ℃ or when higher, water is excessive vaporization from bathe.Therefore, handling the state of bathing can not easily control.The immersion time of the member (main metal construction and nut) that must handle in the chromic acid salt bath is 20 seconds to 80 seconds.When the immersion time is 20 seconds or more in short-term, the thickness that needs of chromate film can not be realized sometimes.When the immersion time surpassed 80 seconds, formed chromate film was blocked up.Therefore, crackle (for example, when connecting) can appear in film, and perhaps film easily peels off, and therefore, it is bad that decay resistance undesirably becomes sometimes.
In order to promote the dissolving of base metal member, effectively the practice is to reduce the pH value of chromate processing bath in following ranges, that is, in this scope, the dissolving once more of the film that forms owing to accumulation exceedingly takes place.For example, preferred pH value scope is about 1.5 to about 3.In order to prevent the dissolving again owing to the film of accumulation formation, effectively the practice is film to be contained be difficult for the dissolved again hydroxide as nickel, cobalt or copper.For accomplishing this point, the compound solubilized of above-mentioned metal, be blended in the chromate processing bath.
The investigation result repeatedly that the inventor did is described now.Sneak in the chromic acid salt bath when the sodium salt (for example, sodium nitrate) of prearranging quatity, when making the content of sodium composition in the chromate film be 2wt% to 7wt%, can form chromate film fine and close, that thickness is big.Though can not find detailed mechanism,, can think, in chromate film, contain sodium ion and can prevent that chromate film is dissolved in the processing bath again.When the content of the sodium composition in the chromate film did not satisfy the scope of 2wt% to 7wt%, the thickness of chromate film was difficult for reaching 0.2 μ m or bigger sometimes.The content of sodium composition in chromate film is preferably 2wt% to 6wt%.
When being nut or packing ring plated film, when carrying out above-mentioned processing, can substitute main metal shell with nut or packing ring.Therefore, certainly adopt identical method.
