Description

Zinc-nickel plating process for steel material
Technical Field
The invention relates to a steel material surface protection process method, in particular to a steel material zinc-nickel plating process.
Background
The ultra-high strength steel material is widely applied to the field of aviation manufacturing at present, and basically adopts processes of low-hydrogen embrittlement cadmium plating, titanium plating and the like for surface protection in order to improve the corrosion resistance of the material and provide a good bottom layer for paint spraying, so that the cost is high, and the environmental protection requirements of heavy metals chromium and cadmium cannot be met. In contrast, the zinc-nickel plating process has the advantages of strong corrosion resistance, environmental protection, strong plating solution dispersing capability, weak corrosiveness, convenient wastewater treatment, low production cost and the like, is rapidly developed in recent years, and has wide application in the automobile industry and the foreign aerospace manufacturing industry. The research of the ultra-high strength steel zinc-nickel plating process is developed, and the ultra-high strength steel zinc-nickel plating process is applied to the field of domestic aviation, becomes a replacement process for cadmium plating (cyanided cadmium plating and low-hydrogen brittle cadmium plating) and cadmium-titanium plating, and is a technical problem to be solved in the technical urgent need in the art.
The patent with publication number CN106637315A discloses an automatic electroplating process of zinc-nickel alloy without chromium ions, which comprises the following steps: pretreatment: removing greasy dirt and rust on the surface of a rubber metal composite part or a metal part to be plated by adopting acid washing, electrolytic degreasing and high-temperature degreasing modes (the high-temperature degreasing temperature is 50-60 ℃, the concentration is 40-60g/L, the time is 3-5min, the electrolytic degreasing voltage is 4-8V, the concentration is 20-40g/L, the temperature is 40-60 ℃, the time is 2-3min, the acid washing concentration is 300-500g/L, and the acid washing time is 2-3 min). Electroplating: the electrochemical reaction is utilized to make zinc and nickel metal ions co-deposit on the metal surface to form a plating layer; closing: penetrating into the coating gap by using a sealing liquid, forming an organic or inorganic protective layer on the surface of the coating, wherein the sealing time is 50-80S, and the temperature of the sealing liquid is 40-50 ℃; blow-drying; drying; and (5) packaging. The invention has short neutral salt fog resistance time. The process is only suitable for common metal composite parts, because the ultra-high strength steel material is particularly sensitive to hydrogen embrittlement, if the acid with high concentration of 300-500g/L is used for long-time treatment for 2-3min to remove rust in the electroplating pretreatment, the process has great corrosion function on the material, and a large amount of hydrogen is generated, so that the risk of hydrogen embrittlement fracture is greatly increased. Therefore, the alloy can be used for common metal material pieces and cannot be used for ultra-high strength steel materials.
Disclosure of Invention
Aiming at the defects of the prior art, the invention provides a zinc and nickel plating process for a steel material, which has the advantages of strong corrosion resistance, excellent hydrogen embrittlement performance, good binding force between a plating layer and a matrix and good fatigue strength.
In order to solve the technical problems, the invention adopts the following technical scheme: a zinc-nickel plating process for steel materials comprises S1, cleaning the steel materials; s2, electroplating zinc and nickel; the method also comprises the following steps:
s3, removing hydrogen: heating the galvanized nickel steel material in the step S2 to remove hydrogen;
s4, surface activation: adding acid into the electroplating solution in the step S2, and placing the galvanized nickel steel material subjected to the dehydrogenation in the step S3 into the electroplating solution for activation, and cleaning after the activation is completed to obtain an activated galvanized nickel steel material;
s5, passivating: putting the activated zinc-nickel plated steel material prepared in the step S4 into Cr 3+ Passivating in the solution, and cleaning after the passivation is finished to obtain a passivated zinc-nickel plated steel material;
s6, sealing: placing the galvanized nickel steel material after passivation in the step S5 into hot water for sealing to obtain a sealed galvanized nickel steel material, wherein the thickness of a plating layer of the sealed galvanized nickel steel material is 10-20 mu m;
wherein, S2, electroplated zinc nickel specifically comprises: putting the steel material cleaned in the step S1 into zinc-nickel electroplating solution, wherein the electroplating current density is 3-3.5A/dm 2 And the electroplating time is 20-30 min, and after the electroplating is finished, the galvanized nickel steel material is obtained by cleaning.
In the design of the technological process, the invention adopts the steps of firstly removing hydrogen and then carrying out Cr after electroplating 3+ And (5) passivating the solution. Firstly removing hydrogen and then passivating, firstly preventing the passivation film layer which is passivated and then densified from obstructing the overflow of hydrogen molecules, and effectively reducing the risk of hydrogen embrittlement fracture; and secondly, the passivation film layer is effectively protected from discoloration, aging and damage caused by the influence of the dehydrogenation temperature, and the appearance and the corrosion resistance of the plating layer are ensured. According to the process, zinc-nickel electroplating of the ultra-high strength steel material can be realized, and the method is also suitable for common steel materials.
The invention adopts the method of post-treatment technology, and the deionized hot water is used for sealing immediately after passivation. After the passivated zinc-nickel coating is sealed by hot water, pinholes generated by electroplating can be blocked, the binding force between the passivation film layer and the electroplated layer is improved, and the brightness and corrosion resistance of the passivation film layer are improved.
Zinc and nickel ions together undergo oxidation-reduction reaction deposition on the cathode to form an alloy coating, but because the standard electrode potential (-0.762V) of zinc is much more negative than the standard electrode potential (-0.246V) of nickel, hydrogen is evolved from the cathode surface during electroplating to form Zn (OH) 2 The adsorption layer blocks the passage of nickel ions so that zinc ions are preferentially deposited. However, the invention mainly adopts low current density to carry out electroplating, so that the reaction speed is reduced, the hydrogen evolution amount is reduced, and Zn (OH) cannot be caused 2 The effect on the deposition of nickel ions forms a zinc-nickel co-deposit.
The accurate control of the current density effectively ensures the plating thickness of the enclosed galvanized nickel steel material, thereby further ensuring the good fatigue strength of the galvanized nickel steel material.
