Description

Die Erfindung betrefft ein Verfahren zur elektrolytischen Metallsalzcinfärbung von Aluminium, bei dem zuerst mittels Gleichstrom in saurer Lösung eine definierte Oxidschicht erzeugt und diese anschließend mittels Wechselstrom unter Verwendung eines Zinn(II)-salze enthaltenden sauren, vorzugsweise schwefelsauren, Elektrolyten eingefärbt wird.The invention relates to a process for the electrolytic metal salt coloring of aluminum, in which a defined oxide layer is first generated by means of direct current in an acidic solution and this is then colored by means of alternating current using an acidic, preferably sulfuric acid, electrolyte containing tin (II) salts.

Bei den Verfahren zur Einfärbung von eloxiertem Aluminium unterscheidet man nach dem Stand der Technik die chemische und die elektrolytische Einfärbung.In the processes for coloring anodized aluminum, a distinction is made according to the prior art between chemical and electrolytic coloring.

Bei der chemischen Einfärbung wird eloxiertes Aluminium in wäßriger Phase mit geeigneten organischen und/oder anorganischen Verbindungen ohne Einwirkung von Strom eingefärbt.In chemical coloring, anodized aluminum is colored in the aqueous phase with suitable organic and / or inorganic compounds without the influence of electricity.

Das Verfahren der elektrolytischen Einfärbung kann einstufig oder zweistufig erfolgen.The process of electrolytic coloring can be carried out in one or two stages.

Bei der einstufigen elektrolytischen Einfärbung wird Aluminium meistens unter Verwendung von Gleichstrom in einem Verfahrensschritt sowohl eloxiert als auch eingefärbt, wobei als Elektrolytflüssigkeit Schwefelsäure in Abmischung mit geeigneten organischen Säuren, wie z.B. Maleinsäure, Oxalsäure, Sulfosalicylsäurc, Sulfophthalsäure, eingesetzt wird.In the one-step electrolytic coloring, aluminum is usually both anodized and colored using direct current in one process step, with sulfuric acid mixed with suitable organic acids, e.g. Maleic acid, oxalic acid, sulfosalicylic acid, sulfophthalic acid, is used.

Bei der zweistufigen elektrolytischen Einfärbung, der sogenannten elecktrolytischen Metallsalzeinfärbung, wird zunächst im ersten Verfahrensschritt unter Verwendung von Gleichstrom mit Schwefelsäure oder Schwefelsäure und Oxalsäure als Elektrolytflüssigkeit eine definierte Oxidschicht erzeugt. Das so eloxierte Aluminium wird dann in einem zweiten Verfahrensschritt unter Anwendung von Wechselstrom und Einsatz von Lösungcn bestimmter Metallsalze bzw. Metallsalzmischungen elektrolytisch eingefärbt.In the two-stage electrolytic coloring, the so-called electrolytic metal salt coloring, a defined oxide layer is first generated in the first process step using direct current with sulfuric acid or sulfuric acid and oxalic acid as the electrolyte liquid. The anodized aluminum is then electrolytically colored in a second process step using alternating current and the use of solutions of certain metal salts or metal salt mixtures.

Die elektrolytischen Einfärbeverfahren werden für die Einfärbung von Aluminium aufgrund ihrer Vorteile, wie höherer Lichtbeständigkeit und Wirtschaftlichkeit, in überwiegendem Maße eingesetzt. Bei den elektrolytischen Einfärbeverfahren überwiegen aufgrund niedrigerer Kosten und damit höherer Wirtschaftlichkeit eindeutig die elektrolytischen Metallsalzeinfärbungen, wobei hierbei bevorzugt zinn(II)-Sulfat- haltige Lösungen verwendet werden.The electrolytic coloring processes are mainly used for coloring aluminum due to their advantages such as higher light resistance and economy. In the case of the electrolytic coloring processes, the electrolytic metal salt coloring clearly outweighs the lower costs and therefore greater economy, with tin (II) sulfate-containing solutions preferably being used here.

Die vorliegende Erfindung bezieht sich auf das zweistufige Verfahren der elektrolytischen Metallsalzeinfärbung.The present invention relates to the two-step process of electrolytic metal salt coloring.

Bei Einsatz von zinn(II)-sulfathaltigen Lösungen für die elektrolytische Einfärbung von Aluminium nach dem 2-StufenVerfahren können Farbtöne, je nach Wahl der Arbeitsbedingungen, zwischen silberhell, hell-, mittel- und dunkelbronze bis schwarz erzeugt werden, die beständig gegen Licht und normale atmosphärische Einflüsse sind.When using tin (II) sulfate-containing solutions for the electrolytic coloring of aluminum according to the 2-step process, depending on the choice of working conditions, color tones can be produced between light silver, light, medium and dark bronze to black, which are resistant to light and are normal atmospheric influences.

Schwefelsaure zinn(II)-sulfathaltige Lösungen, wie sie für die elektrolytische Metallsalzeinfärbung von Aluminium zum Einsatz kommen, scheiden jedoch durch Hydrolyse und/oder Oxydation entsprechend der Standzeit in zunehmendem Maße schwerlösliche Zinnverbindungen ab, die für die Einfärbung von Aluminium unwirksam sind.Sulfuric acid tin (II) sulfate-containing solutions, such as those used for the electrolytic metal salt coloring of aluminum, however, increasingly separate tin compounds which are sparingly soluble and which are ineffective for coloring aluminum by hydrolysis and / or oxidation in accordance with the service life.

Man hat bisher versucht, die Abscheidung solcher schwerlöslicher Zinaverbindungen durch Zusätze geeigneter Verbindungen, wie z.B. Phenolsulfonsäure, Kresolsulfonsäure, Phenol oder dessen Derivate, zu verringern. Diese Verbindungen sind aufgrund ihrer hohen Abwasserschädlichkeit, ihrer Giftigkeit sowie der durch sie hervorgerufenen Geruchshelästigung in erheblichem Umfang umweltbelastend geworden. Hinzu kommt als besonderer Nachteil, daß solche Verbindungen die Bildung von schwerlöslichen Zinnverbindungen nicht ausreichend unterdrücken.So far, attempts have been made to separate such poorly soluble zina compounds by adding suitable compounds gene, such as phenolsulfonic acid, cresolsulfonic acid, phenol or its derivatives. These compounds have become environmentally harmful to a considerable extent due to their high level of waste water damage, their toxicity and the odor nuisance they cause. In addition, there is a particular disadvantage that such compounds do not sufficiently suppress the formation of poorly soluble tin compounds.

Der Erfindung liegt deshalb die Aufgabe zugrunde, Verbindungen zu finden, die diese Nachteile nicht aufweisen, somit also umweltfreundlicher sind und die Bildung von Niederschlägen in zinn(II)-sulfathaitigen Lösungen beim Stehen möglichst vollständig verhindern.The invention is therefore based on the object of finding compounds which do not have these disadvantages, and are therefore more environmentally friendly and as completely as possible prevent the formation of precipitates in tin (II) sulfate-containing solutions when standing.

Überraschenderweise wurde gefunden, daß man diese Aufgabe in einfacher Weise dadurch lösen kann, wenn man das Verfahren der elektrolytischen Metallsalzeinfärbung mit einem Zinn(II)-salze enthaltenden Elektrolyten durchführt, der 1 - 10 g/l eines oder mehrerer Eisen(II)-salze(s) von Säuren aus der Gruppe, die Schwefelsäure, eine Sulfonsäure mit höchstens 8 Kohlenstoffatomen und die Amidosulfonsäure umfaßt, enthält.Surprisingly, it has been found that this object can be achieved in a simple manner by carrying out the electrolytic metal salt dyeing process with an electrolyte containing tin (II) salts which contains 1-10 g / l of one or more iron (II) salts (s) of acids from the group comprising sulfuric acid, a sulfonic acid having at most 8 carbon atoms and the amidosulfonic acid.

Dieser Effekt war für den Fachmann überraschend, da die freien Säuren, wie z.B. Schwefelsäure, Phenolsulfonsäure und Amidosulfonsäure, nicht in der Lage sind, die Bildung von Niederschlägen zu verhindern.This effect was surprising for the person skilled in the art, since the free acids, e.g. Sulfuric acid, phenolsulfonic acid and amidosulfonic acid, are unable to prevent the formation of precipitates.

Die Zusätze sind in einer Menge von 1 - 10 g/l wirksam. Vorzugsweise setzt man dem Zinn(II)-salze enthaltenden schwefelsauren Elektrolyten etwa 5 g/l einer oder mehrerer der im Patentanspruch genannten Verbindungen zu.The additives are effective in an amount of 1 - 10 g / l. About 5 g / l of one or more of the compounds mentioned in the patent claim is preferably added to the sulfuric acid electrolyte containing tin (II) salts.

Im Falle der Verwendung von Eisen(II)-salzen einer Sulfonsäure spielt der mit dem Schwefelatom verbundene Kohlenwasscrstoffrest, der bis zu 8 Kohlenstoffatome einschließlich enthalten darf, keine entscheidende Rolle. Der Kohlenwasserstoffrest kann ein gegebenenfalls substituierter Alkyl-, Aryl- oder Alkarylrest sein.In the case of the use of iron (II) salts of a sulfonic acid, the hydrocarbon residue which is connected to the sulfur atom and which may contain up to 8 carbon atoms inclusive, does not play a decisive role. The coals hydrogen radical can be an optionally substituted alkyl, aryl or alkaryl radical.

Ein besonderer Vorteil des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens besteht darin, daß durch den Zusatz der vorgenannten Eisen(II)-salze neben der Unterdrückung der Bildung von schwerlöslichen Niederschlägen in vielen Fällen ein erheblicher farbverstärkender Effekt beobachtet wird.A particular advantage of the process according to the invention is that the addition of the aforementioned iron (II) salts, in addition to the suppression of the formation of sparingly soluble precipitates, results in a considerable color-enhancing effect in many cases.

Eine besonders bevorzugte Ausführungsform des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens besteht im Hinblick sowohl auf den farbverstärkenden Effekt als auch auf die Unterdrückung von schwerlöslichen zinnhaltigen Niederschlägen deshalb darin, daß man als Eisen(II)-salze enthaltenden Elektrolyten einen solchen verwendet, der Eisen(II)-sulfosalicylat und/oder Eisen(II)-sulfophthalat enthält.A particularly preferred embodiment of the process according to the invention in view of both the color-enhancing effect and the suppression of sparingly soluble tin-containing precipitates is therefore that the electrolyte containing iron (II) salts used is one which contains iron (II) sulfosalicylate and / or contains iron (II) sulfophthalate.

Der gleiche Effekt, sowohl der der Farbverstärkung als auch der der Unterdrückung schwerlöslicher Niederschläge, kann aber auch dadurch erzielt werden, daß man dem entsprechend Patentanspruch 1 Eisen(II)-salze enthaltenden Elektrolyten zusätzlich 1 - 10 g/1 freie Sulfosalicylsäure und/oder Sulfophthalsäure zusetzt.The same effect, both that of the color enhancement and that of the suppression of sparingly soluble precipitates, can also be achieved by adding 1 - 10 g / 1 free sulfosalicylic acid and / or sulfophthalic acid to the electrolyte containing iron (II) salts adds.

Die für die Einfärbung verwendeten, die erfindungsgemäßen Zusätze enthaltenden Elektrolyten können weitere Verbindungen enthalten, wie sie aus dem Stand der Technik bekannt sind. So ist es beispielsweise möglich, diesen Lösungen in an sich bekannter Weise Amine oder Phenole bzw. Phenolderivate zuzusetzen.The electrolytes used for the coloring and containing the additives according to the invention can contain further compounds as are known from the prior art. For example, it is possible to add amines or phenols or phenol derivatives to these solutions in a manner known per se.

Entsprechend dem erfindungsgemäßen Verfahren gelingt es scmit, in einfacher und besonders wirtschaftlicher Weise die Bildung von schwerlöslichen Niederschlägen in schwefelsauren Zinn(II)-Salzlösungen praktisch vollständig zu verhindern und gleichzeitig eine Farbvertiefung bei der Einfärbung des Aluminiums zu erzielen.In accordance with the method according to the invention, scmit succeeds in a simple and particularly economical manner in practically completely preventing the formation of sparingly soluble precipitates in sulfuric acid tin (II) salt solutions and at the same time achieving a deepening of color during the coloring of the aluminum.

Die Wirksamkeit der erfindungsgemäß im Elektrolyten enthaltenden Verbindungen wurde dadurch ermittelt, daß 200 ml einer schwefelsauren Zinnsulfatlösung, wie sie zur elektrolytischen Einfärbung von Aluminium zum Einsatz kommt, mit 14 g Zinn(II)-sulfat und 16 g konz. Schwefelsäure/l als solche bzw. mit den jeweils zusätzlich in der folgenden Tabelle genannten Verbindungen 1 Woche lang stehengelassen wurden. Die sich bildenden Niederschläge wurden abfiltriert und gewichtsanalytisch ermittelt.The efficacy of the compounds according to the invention contained in the electrolyte was determined by that 20 ml 0, sulfate of a tin sulfate solution containing sulfuric acid, as it is used for the electrolytic coloring of aluminum for use with 14 g of tin (II) and 16 g conc. Sulfuric acid / l as such or with the compounds additionally listed in the following table were left to stand for 1 week. The precipitates that formed were filtered off and determined by weight analysis.

Ferner wurde mit den einzelnen Lösungen die elektrolytische Einfärbung von zuvor eloxiertem Aluminium vorgenommen. Die Heiligkeiten (L) der hierbei erhaltenen eingefärbten Aluminiumbleche wurden nach Verdichten und Trocknen mit einem Farb- und Farbdifferenz-Meßgerät ermittelt, wobei das Meßgerät von 0 - 100 skaliert ist und 100 weiß und O schwarz bedeutet. Somit konnten in objektiver Weise Helligkeitsunterschiede einwandfrei ermittelt werden.

Furthermore, the electrolytic coloring of previously anodized aluminum was carried out with the individual solutions. The sanctities (L) of the colored aluminum sheets obtained in this way were determined after compression and drying using a color and color difference measuring device, the measuring device being scaled from 0-100 and meaning 100 white and O black. Differences in brightness could thus be correctly determined in an objective manner.

In der Gruppe I sind freie Säuren und Amine genannt, wobei Phenolsulfonsäure, Kresolsulfonsäure und Amidosulfonsäure entsprechend dem Stand der Technik schwefelsauren Zinnsulfatlösungen zugesetzt werden. Mit Ausnahme der umweltbelastenden Kresolsulfonsäure ist die Unterdrückung der Bildung von zinnhaltigem Niederschlag völlig ungenügend.Group I lists free acids and amines, phenolsulfonic acid, cresolsulfonic acid and amidosulfonic acid being added in accordance with the prior art to tin sulfate solutions containing sulfuric acid. With the exception of the environmentally harmful cresol sulfonic acid, the suppression of the formation of tin-containing precipitate is completely insufficient.

Die Ergebnisse der Gruppe II zeigen, daß bei Zusatz erfindungsgenmäß zu verwendender Verbindungen der sich bildende zinnhaltige Kiederhchlag praktisch vernachlässigbar ist. Die Farbtief den eingefärbten Aluminiums wird nicht beeinträchtigt. Bei Verwendung von Eisen(II)-sulfosalicylat und Eisen(II)-sulfophthalat erfolgt zusatzlich eine deutliche und bei Verwendung von Eisen(II)-sulfamat und Eisen-(II)-sulfonaten eine merkliche Verstärkung der Farbintensität.The results of group II show that when compounds to be used according to the invention are added, the compound which forms tin-containing Kiederhchlag is practically negligible. The color depth of the colored aluminum is not affected. When iron (II) sulfosalicylate and iron (II) sulfophthalate are used, the color intensity is additionally markedly increased, and when iron (II) sulfamate and iron (II) sulfonates are used, the color intensity is markedly increased.

Die Zusätze gemäß Gruppe III bewirken wiederum, daß sich praktisch keine nennenswerten Niederschlage bilden, während die Farbintensität den eingefärhten Aluminiums in allen Fällen erheblich gesteigert ist. Hieraus ergibt sich, daß die erfindungsgemäß genannten Eisen(II)-Verbindungen die Bildung von Niederschlägen in zinn(II)-sulfathaltigen Lösungen mit Sicherheit unterdrücken, wobei Eisen(II)-sulfonate und Eisen(II)-sulfamate als solche bzw. in Kombination mit Sulfosalicylsäure bzw. Sulfophthalsäure außerdem zu einer Verstärkung der Farbintensität führen.The additives according to group III in turn have the effect that practically no appreciable precipitate forms, while the color intensity of the colored aluminum is considerably increased in all cases. It follows from this that the iron (II) compounds mentioned according to the invention reliably suppress the formation of precipitates in solutions containing tin (II) sulfate, iron (II) sulfonates and iron (II) sulfamates as such or in combination with sulfosalicylic acid or sulfophthalic acid also lead to an intensification of the color intensity.

Das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren soll anhand der folgenden Beispiele noch näher erläutert werden:The process according to the invention will be explained in more detail with the aid of the following examples:

Beispiel 1example 1

Es wurden Aluminiumbleche (100 mm · 50 mm · 2 mm) in bekannter Weise entfettet, alkalisch und sauer gebeizt, wobei zwischen den einzelnen Arbeitsgängen jeweils ein Spülen mit Wasser vorgenommen wurde, und unter Verwendung von Gleichstrom mit wäßriger Schwefelsäure (200 g konz. H2SO4/l) als Elektrolytflüssigkeit derart eloxiert, daß eine Eloxalschicht von 20 µm erzeugt wurde. (Kathodenmaterial: Edelstahl; Stromdichte: 1,3 - 1,5 Amp./dm2)Aluminum sheets (100 mm × 50 mm × 2 mm) were degreased in a known manner, alkaline and acid pickled, rinsing with water being carried out in each case between the individual operations, and using direct current with aqueous sulfuric acid (200 g conc. H 2 SO 4 / l) anodized as electrolyte liquid in such a way that an anodized layer of 20 µm was produced. (Cathode material: stainless steel; current density: 1.3 - 1.5 amp./dm 2 )

So eloxiertes Aluminiumblech wurde nach dem Spülen mit Wasser in 300 ml einer Elektrolytflüssigkeit, die 14 g Zinn(II)-sulfat, 16 g konz. Schwefelsäure sowie 5 g Eisen(II)-sulfo- salicylat/l enthielt, eingetaucht, wobei die Flüssigkeit sich in einer rechteckig gehaltenen Glaszelle befand. S o anodized aluminum sheet was after rinsing with water in 300 ml of an electrolyte containing 14 g of tin (II) sulfate, 16 g conc. Contained sulfuric acid and 5 g of iron (II) sulfo-salicylate / l, immersed, the liquid being in a rectangular glass cell.

Die elektrolytischß Metallsalzeinfärbung wurde unter Verwendung von zwei Edelstahlelektroden nach Anlegen von Wechselspannung und einer Elektrolyttemperatur von 18 - 20°C innerhalb 5 Minuten vorgenommen. Hierbei wurde die Spannung innerhalb der ersten Minute kontinuierlich auf 15 Volt hochgeregelt und 4 Minuten konstant gehalten. Das eingefärbte Aluminiumblech wurde nach dem Einfärbeprozeß in bekannter Weise verdichtet. Der mit dem Farbmeßgerät ermittelte Helligkeitswert betrug 12,7.
