Description

Verfahren zur Verstärkung der natürlichen Oxydhaut von Gegenständen aus Leichtmetallen zwecks Erhöhung der Korrosionsbeständigkeit Um Metalle durch Oberflächenbehandlung gegen Angriffe durch mechanische Agenzien oder Atmosphärilien zu schützen, stehen verschiedene Verfahren zur Verfügung, u. a. Aufbringen anderer beständigerer Metalle im Wege der Plattierung, der Galvanisation oder des Metallspritzverfahrens, ferner Oxydation der Metalloberfläche mittels hierzu geeigneter Lösungen unter Zuhilfenahme des elektrischen Stromes oder lediglich unter Beheizung des Oxydationsbades.Process for strengthening the natural oxide skin of objects Made of light metals for the purpose of increasing the corrosion resistance Surface treatment against attacks by mechanical agents or atmospheric agents Various methods are available to protect, including: Upset others more resistant metals by means of plating, galvanization or metal spraying processes, furthermore, oxidation of the metal surface by means of suitable solutions with the aid of the electric current or only with heating of the oxidation bath.

Allen diesen Verfahren haften jedoch verschiedene Nachteile an. So sind beispielsweise die Überzugsmetalle ihrerseits auch nur gegen wenige Chemikalien widerstandsfähig, oder sie sind, ebenso wie ihre Oxyddecken, zu dünn oder zu porös, um einen ausreichenden Schutz im erstrebten Sinne herbeizuführen.However, all of these methods have various disadvantages. So For example, the coating metals are only resistant to a few chemicals resistant, or, like their oxide coverings, they are too thin or too porous, in order to bring about sufficient protection in the desired sense.

Diese Nachteile werden durch die vorliegende Erfindung vermieden. Nach ihr wird die natürliche Oxvdhaut der Leichtmetalle durch Behandlung mit Ammoniakdämpfen verstärkt.These disadvantages are avoided by the present invention. According to it, the natural oxide skin of light metals is made by treatment with ammonia vapors reinforced.

Daß durch Behandlung mit Ammoniaklösung auf Leichtmetallen eine Oxydschicht oder Verfärbung erzeugt wird, ist bekannt. Auch hat man bereits versucht, eine elektrisch isolierende Schicht auf Leitern leicht oxydierbarer Metalle durch deren Behandlung mit sauerstoffreicher Luft, Wasserdampf. Ammoniak, sauren Dämpfen usw. herzustellen. Diese Verfahren haben aber mit dem Gegenstand der Erfindung nichts zu tun, denn es besteht ein grundsätzlicher Unterschied zwischen der Behandlung von Leichtmetallen durch Ammoniaklösung und Ammoniakgas. Im ersten Fall nämlich wird während der Oberflächenbehandlung das Metall erheblich angegriffen, was an der Gasentwicklung in der Lösung und an der eintretenden nennenswertenGewichtsverminderung der behandelten Gegenstände erkennbar ist. Dagegen tritt durch die Behandlung mit Ammoniakgas vom ersten Augenblick an eine wesentliche Gewichtszunahme als Folge der Verstärkung der Oxydhaut auf, und die so geschaffene Oxydschicht ist infolge ihrer großen Dichte von hervorragender korrosionshemmender Wirkung. Hierin besteht das Unterschiedliche und der technische Fortschritt der Erfindung.That by treatment with ammonia solution on light metals an oxide layer or discoloration is known. Attempts have also been made to make an electric insulating layer on conductors of easily oxidizable metals by treating them with oxygen-rich air, water vapor. To produce ammonia, acidic vapors, etc. However, these methods have nothing to do with the subject matter of the invention, because there is a fundamental difference between the treatment of light metals by ammonia solution and ammonia gas. In the first case, namely during the surface treatment the metal is seriously attacked, which is due to the evolution of gas in the solution and to the significant reduction in weight of the treated objects is. On the other hand, treatment with ammonia gas occurs from the very first moment a substantial increase in weight as a result of the strengthening of the oxide skin, and the oxide layer created in this way is excellent because of its great density corrosion-inhibiting effect. This is what is different and what is technical Progress of the invention.

Das neue Verfahren kann beispielsweise in der Weise durchgeführt werden, claß man in einen Behälter eine geringe Menge konzentrierten Ammoniaks gibt, die zu behandelnden Gegenstände in den Raum über der Flüssigkeit hängt und darauf den Behälter abdeckt. Je nach der gewünschten Stärke der Oxyddecke beläßt man die Gegenstände mehrere Tage oder bis zu einigen Wochen darin. Die Behandlung ist mit dem Herausnehmen aus dem Behälter beendet. Die Gegenstände bedürfen keiner weiteren Nachbehandlung ihre Oberfläche ist gleichmäßig matt, weingrau.The new method can be carried out, for example, in the manner a small amount of concentrated ammonia is put into a container objects to be treated hang in the space above the liquid and on the Container covers. Depending on the desired thickness of the oxide cover, the objects are left several days or up to a few weeks in it. The treatment is with taking it out Finished out of the container. Things do not need any further Post-treatment its surface is evenly matt, wine-gray.

Wie Versuche ergeben haben, ist durch diese Behandlung die Korrosionsbeständigkeit ganz erheblich gestiegen. Zudem ist das Verfahren einfach und wirtschaftlich. Es bietet besondere Vorteile z. B. für Flugzeuge, Luftschiffe und Leichtmetallboote zum Schutz gegen die Einwirkungen' der Atmosphärilien bzw. des Seewassers sowie für Bordkonstruktionsteile von Schiffen; für Dacheindeckungen aus Leichtmetall und vieles andere.As tests have shown, this treatment increases the resistance to corrosion increased quite considerably. In addition, the process is simple and economical. It offers special advantages e.g. B. for aircraft, airships and light metal boats to protect against the effects of the atmospheres and sea water as well as for on-board structural parts of ships; for roof coverings made of light metal and many other things.

Die Anwendung des Verfahrens gemäß der Erfindung ist nicht beschränkt auf Bleche und Gußkörper aus Leichtmetallen. Es kann mit Vorteil auch angewandt werden auf alle möglichen Gebrauchsgegenstände aus Leichtmetall. Insbesondere können auch sämtliche bekannten Legierungen, bei denen Aluminium oder Magnesium den Hauptbestandteil bilden, in der angegebenen Weise behandelt werden. Es können sogar ganze Bauteile aus Leichtmetall oder Metallegierungen, wie z. B. Flugzeugteile, Luftschiffträger usw., in einbaufertigem Zustande demVerfahren unterworfen werden, so daß insbesondere sämtliche Verbindungsstellen, wie Nieten usw., an welchen durch die Verbindungsarbeiten leicht Beschädigungen der natürlichen Oxydhaut möglich sind, noch nachträglich mit einer absolut dichten und starken Schutzdecke versehen werden.The application of the method according to the invention is not restricted on sheets and castings made of light metals. It can also be used to advantage are applied to all kinds of everyday objects made of light metal. In particular, can also all known alloys in which aluminum or magnesium is the main component should be treated in the manner indicated. Entire components can even be used made of light metal or metal alloys, such as. B. aircraft parts, airship carriers etc., are subjected to the process in a ready-to-install condition, so that in particular all connection points, such as rivets, etc., at which by the connection work easy damage to the natural oxide skin is possible, even afterwards an absolutely tight and strong protective cover.
