Description

Coating
The present invention relates to decorate and protective coating.
At present; to as lamp; tripod; candlestick, water tap, spherical door knob; the habituation of brass wares such as door handle is processed as at first with its surface grinding and the surface applied protectiveness organism coating that is polished to high gloss and is being polished subsequently; as by acrylic acid or the like, urea, the organism coating that Resins, epoxy etc. are formed.The shortcoming of this system need to be polishing and polishing processing, particularly has complicated shape as fruit product, needs highly intensive labour.Also have, known organic coating does not have the ideal wear resistance.
These shortcomings can be by comprising nickel bottom and non-valuable high-temperature resistant metal compound, and as zirconium nitride, the coating of titanium nitride and zirconium-titanium alloy nitride (zirconium-titanium alloy nitride) is improved.But, to have found titanium to occur in the coating, during as titanium nitride or zirconium-titanium alloy nitride, coating can suffer galvanic etching in corrosive atmosphere.This galvanic etching meeting makes coating show as in fact inefficacy.The tin-nickel alloy layer that now has been surprised to find between end nickel dam and top titanium compound or titanium alloy compound layer can reduce or eliminate galvanic etching.At United States Patent (USP) 5,667, disclosed the coating that contains the tin-nickel alloy layer in 904, wherein said tin-nickel alloy layer is between end nickel dam and non-valuable high temperature material top layer.Coating is by nickel dam, tin-nickel alloy layer and comprise zirconium compounds or the top layer of titanium compound constitutes.Though its performance is very good usually, this coating still has several shortcomings.This coating does not have enough against power to chemical action.Its corrosion to bronsted lowry acids and bases bronsted lowry is responsive especially.And being this coating, its another problem breaks sometimes.
The objective of the invention is to eliminate these defectives and a kind of coating is provided, it has the resistance to chemical corrosion of improvement, resistance to breakage, and electrochemically resistant corrosive nature.
The present invention relates to a kind of protection and decorative coating that is used for a basic unit, particularly metal substrate.The present invention relates more specifically to a kind of basic unit, particularly a kind of metal substrate as brass, and minimum have a coating on the one part surface, and this coating comprises the multilayer superimposed layer of some specialty metal or metallic compound.Described coating has ornamental and erosion resistance can also be provided, abrasion resistance and chemical resistant properties.In one embodiment, described coating can provide the outward appearance that has flavous polishing brass, promptly has golden yellow brass tone.Therefore, the product surface with described coating can be simulated the polishing brass with golden yellow tone.
The first layer that directly is coated in substrate surface is made of nickel.Described the first layer can be an individual layer, as single nickel dam, or comprises two different nickel dams, the bright nickel layer as described in being arranged on as a semi-bright nickel layer and that directly is coated in substrate surface above the semi-bright nickel layer.The one deck that is coated in above the nickel dam is tin and nickel alloy layer.At tin with above the nickel alloy layer be interlayer, it is made of the titanium or the titanium alloy layer that are arranged alternately with titanium compound or titanium alloy compound.
The setting of described interlayer should make titanium or titanium alloy layer be positioned on the tin-nickel alloy layer, and promptly as bottom, and titanium compound or titanium alloy compound layer are top layer or outlier.
In another embodiment of the present invention, at titanium compound or be titanium oxide or titanium oxide alloy layer above the titanium alloy compound layer, or titanium or titanium alloy, the reaction product layer of oxygen and nitrogen.
