Abstract
Description
Um Aluminium und Aluminiumlegierungen galvanisch mit einem metallischen Überzug zu versehen, ist es bekannt, eine Zwischenbehandlung einzuschalten; denn der Oxidfilm des Aluminiums würde das Haften des galvanischen Nieder schlags verhindern. Die Zwischenbehandlung ist entweder eine chemische, in der in alkalischen Lösungen Zink oder in sauren Bädern Eisen als galvanisierbare Metallschicht niedergeschlagen wird, oder eine anodische Behandlung nach dem Elytal-Verfahren. Auch durch Tauchen in leicht flüssige Salzschmelzen und anschließend in ein alkali sches Ätzbad kann eine galvanisierbare Oberfläche erzeugt werden.To galvanize with aluminum and aluminum alloys to provide a metallic coating, it is known to turn on an intermediate treatment; because the oxide film of aluminum would adhere to the galvanic low prevent blow. The intermediate treatment is either a chemical in which zinc or in alkaline solutions in acidic baths iron as a galvanizable metal layer is put down, or an anodic treatment according to the Elytal process. Even by diving in easily liquid salt melts and then in an alkali etching bath can produce a galvanizable surface will.
Wollte man nun eine Auto-Felge aus einer Aluminiumlegie rung mit einem galvanischen Überzug aus Chrom versehen, der sowohl die Eigenschaften eines Korrosionsschutzes als auch die einer dekorativen Außenhaut in sich vereinigt, so ist es im Hinblick auf das hohen Beanspruchungen un terworfene besondere Einsatzgebiet einer Auto-Felge zur Erzielung eines hohen Verschleißwiderstands der Chrom schicht erforderlich, die bei der Galvanisierung zur An wendung gelangenden Kupfer-, Nickel- und Chrombäder mit größeren Stromdichten und insbesondere höheren Temperatu ren zu versehen. Hierbei kann jedoch nicht ausgeschlossen werden, daß sich Zugeigenspannungen ausbilden, die bei Rißbildung zu einer Beeinträchtigung der mechanischen Eigenschaften, insbesondere der Schwingfestigkeit, führen können. Außerdem sind Beeinträchtigungen der Gefügezusam mensetzung des Grundmaterials der Auto-Felgen nicht aus zuschließen. Folglich hat man in der Praxis von der Ver chromung von Auto-Felgen aus Aluminiumlegierungen bislang Abstand genommen.Now you wanted a car rim made of an aluminum alloy with a galvanic coating made of chrome, which has both the properties of corrosion protection and also unites that of a decorative outer skin, so it is in view of the high demands special application area of a car rim Achieving a high wear resistance of the chrome layer required for galvanizing copper, nickel and chrome baths higher current densities and in particular higher temperatures to provide. However, this cannot be ruled out be that tensile residual stresses develop at Cracking affects the mechanical Properties, especially the fatigue strength can. In addition, structural impairments are common setting of the basic material of the car rims not close. Consequently, in practice, the Ver Chroming of car rims from aluminum alloys so far Distance.
Man hat vielmehr Auto-Felgen aus Aluminiumlegierungen le diglich mit einer gegen Korrosion schützenden Grundierung versehen und auf diese Grundierung dann eine Lackschicht in zumeist silbergrauer Farbe in Annäherung an das Ausse hen von Aluminium aufgebracht.Rather, you have car rims made of aluminum alloys only with a primer that protects against corrosion then apply a layer of lacquer to this primer mostly silver-gray in color, approximating the exterior hen applied by aluminum.
Der Erfindung liegt ausgehend vom Stand der Technik die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Verfahren zum Verchromen einer Auto-Felge aus einer Aluminiumlegierung zu schaffen, bei welchem keine negativen Beeinträchtigungen des Grundmate rials der Auto-Felge zu befürchten sind.The invention is based on the prior art Task, a method for chrome plating To create car rim from an aluminum alloy, at which has no negative impact on the basic material rials of the car rim are to be feared.
Entsprechend diesem Verfahren wird die Oberfläche der Auto-Felge aus einer Aluminiumlegierung wie auch bei dem bekannten Lackierungs-Verfahren zunächst mit einer Grun dierungsschicht aus Pulver oder Naßlack versehen. Nach dem Trocknen dieser Grundierungsschicht, insbesondere in einem entsprechenden Ofen, wird dann auf die Grundie rungsschicht ein Naßlack mit einer besonderen Eigenschaft aufgetragen. Es handelt sich hierbei um einen Naßlack, der nach dem Trocknen den Charakter von Galvano-ABS- Kunststoff aufweist. Wird dann die derart behandelte Auto-Felge in ein Chrombad getaucht, so reagiert dieses naturgemäß physikalisch auf Galvano-ABS-Kunststoff, so daß der Auto-Felge bei einer geringen Stromdichte und re lativ niedrigen Badtemperaturen eine einwandfreie Chrom schicht als Außenhaut vermittelt werden kann.According to this method, the surface of the Car rim made of an aluminum alloy like that known painting process first with a green Apply a coating of powder or wet paint. After drying this primer layer, especially in an appropriate oven, is then on the Grundie a wet paint with a special property applied. It is a wet paint, which after drying has the character of galvano-ABS Has plastic. Will then be treated like this Car rim dipped in a chrome bath, this reacts naturally physically on galvano-ABS plastic, see above that the car rim at a low current density and re relatively low bath temperatures a flawless chrome layer can be conveyed as an outer skin.
Hierbei ergibt sich der besondere Vorteil, daß aufgrund der niedrigen Badtemperaturen keine Veränderungen des Ge füges des Grundmaterials der Auto-Felge zu befürchten sind, so daß ihr Einsatz im Kraftfahrzeugbau unbedenklich erscheint. Außerdem entspricht eine verchromte Auto-Felge aus einer Aluminiumlegierung nicht nur dem momentan herr schenden Zeitgefühl nach verchromten glänzenden Teilen, sondern auch dem Wunsch der Kraftfahrzeugindustrie, das Gewicht der Autos zu senken.This has the particular advantage that due to the low bath temperatures no changes in the Ge fear of the basic material of the car rim are, so that their use in motor vehicle construction is harmless appears. A chrome-plated car rim also corresponds made of an aluminum alloy not only that at the moment send a sense of time for chrome-plated shiny parts, but also the desire of the automotive industry that Reduce weight of cars.
Ein weiterer Vorteil der Erfindung besteht darin, daß jetzt der Herstellungsaufwand für die Außenhaut aus Chrom merklich gesenkt werden kann. Sowohl das Aufbringen der Grundierungsschicht als auch der die Galvanisierung mit Chrom ermöglichenden Naßlackschicht (Leitschicht) kann mit einfachen herkömmlichen standardisierten Vorrichtun gen und Geräten durchgeführt werden. Letztlich sind auch für das Chrombad geringere Stromdichten und geringere Temperaturen und damit ein deutlich geringerer Energie aufwand erforderlich.Another advantage of the invention is that now the manufacturing effort for the outer skin made of chrome can be significantly reduced. Both applying the Primer layer as well as the galvanization with Chromium enabling wet paint layer (conductive layer) can with simple conventional standardized devices conditions and devices. Ultimately, too for the chrome bath lower current densities and lower Temperatures and thus a significantly lower energy effort required.
