Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zum Korrosionsschutz von Metallen, insbesondere von Eisen und Stahl, durch Aufbringen einer Phosphatschicht und Imprägnieren der Phosphatschicht mit organischem Kunstharz.The invention relates to a method for corrosion protection of metals, in particular iron and steel, by applying a phosphate layer and impregnating the phosphate layer with organic synthetic resin.

Es ist bekannt, auf Metalloberflächen Schutzüberzüge aufzubringen, um die Korrosionsbeständigkeit zu verbessern. Hierzu werden üblicherweise die Metalloberflächen mit Lösungen in Berührung gebracht, die einen Phosphatüberzug ausbilden.It is known to apply protective coatings to metal surfaces in order to improve the corrosion resistance. For this purpose, the metal surfaces are usually brought into contact with solutions which form a phosphate coating.

Die Erzeugung der Phosphatüberzüge geschieht im allgemeinen nach dem Verfahrensschema

  • Reinigung,
  • Wasserspülung,
  • Bildung des Phosphatüberzuges,
  • Wasserspülung.
The phosphate coatings are generally produced according to the process scheme
  • Cleaning,
  • Water flushing,
  • Formation of the phosphate coating,
  • Water flushing.

Zur weiteren Verbesserung des so erhaltenen Phosphatüberzuges ist es üblich, eine Behandlung mit einer Nachbehandlungslösung anzuschließen. Neben der Nachspülung mit Lösungen auf Chromatbasis ist es zur Nachbehandlung von Phosphatüberzügen bekannt, eine nicht zusammenhängende Dichtungsschicht eines hydrophobmachenden Mittels, z. B. unter Verwendung organischer Stoffe, etwa auf Basis Polyisocyanat modifizierter Harzkondensationsprodukte (DE-AS 11 47820) zu erzeugen bzw. mit trochnenden Ölen oder niedrigviskosen Lacken abzudichten (H. Fortmann « Nachbehandlungsverfahren phosphatierter Eisenteile •, Metallwaren-Industrie und Galvanotechnik MSV Nr. 6 (1943), Seite 229). Diese Mittel konnten sich jedoch gegenüber den chrömhaltigen Nachbehandlungslösungen aus Gründen niederer Qualität nicht durchsetzen. Zudem führten zahlreiche dieser Mittel nicht zu brauchbaren Ergebnissen.To further improve the phosphate coating obtained in this way, it is customary to follow up with a treatment with an aftertreatment solution. In addition to rinsing with chromate-based solutions, it is known for the aftertreatment of phosphate coatings, a non-contiguous sealing layer of a hydrophobizing agent, for. B. using organic materials, such as based on polyisocyanate modified resin condensation products (DE-AS 11 47820) or to seal with drying oils or low-viscosity paints (H. Fortmann «post-treatment process phosphated iron parts •, metalware industry and electroplating MSV No. 6 (1943), page 229). However, these agents could not prevail over the chromium-containing aftertreatment solutions for reasons of low quality. In addition, many of these funds did not lead to useful results.

Weiterhin ist es bekannt, chemisch aufgebrachte Umwandlungsüberzüge, insbesondere Phosphatüberzüge. auf Metallen mittels Lösungen nachzubehandeln, die eine Poly-4-vinyl-phenolverbindung der Formel

Figure imgb0001

enthält. Hierbei sind

  • n eine Zahl zwischen 5 und 100,
  • x unabhängig voneinander Wasserstoff und/oder CRRIOH-Gruppen mit R und R1 = Wasserstoff, aliphatischem und/oder aromatischem Rest mit 1 bis 12 Kohlenstoffatomen (DE-OS 31 46265).
Furthermore, it is known to apply chemically applied conversion coatings, in particular phosphate coatings. post-treat on metals using solutions containing a poly-4-vinyl-phenol compound of the formula
Figure imgb0001

contains. Here are
  • n is a number between 5 and 100,
  • x independently of one another hydrogen and / or CRR I OH groups with R and R 1 = hydrogen, aliphatic and / or aromatic radical with 1 to 12 carbon atoms (DE-OS 31 46265).

Der pH-Wert der zum Einsatz kommenden Lösung liegt üblicherweise im alkalischen Bereich, was bei der Behandlung von mit Umwandlungsüberzügen versehenen Metalloberflächen gegebenenfalls mit dem Nachteil einer teilweisen Schichtablösung verbunden sein kann.The pH of the solution used is usually in the alkaline range, which in the treatment of metal surfaces provided with conversion coatings can be associated with the disadvantage of partial delamination.

Schließlich ist es auch bekannt, Phosphatschichten zunächst mit Cr-(VI)haltigen Lösungen nachzuspülen, ein Vorgang der üblicherweise zum Phosphatierprozeß gerechnet wird, und dann mit anorganischen Verbindungen, Ölen, Wachsen oder Lacken nachzubehandeln (W. Rausch, « Die Phosphatierung von Metallen Eugen G. Leuze Verlag, Saalgau Württ. 1974, Seite 120). Obgleich diese Behandlungen einen Korrosionsschutz verleihen, der bis an den Schutzwert von verzinkten, chromatierten Oberflächen heranreicht, sind sie bei höheren Beanspruchungen nicht mehr zufriedenstellend. Nachteilig ist auch, daß diese Art Imprägnierung häufig flüssige, weiche bis halbharte Filme von nur geringer Abriebbeständigkeit liefert.Finally, it is also known to rinse phosphate layers first with Cr- (VI) -containing solutions, a process that is usually included in the phosphating process, and then to treat them with inorganic compounds, oils, waxes or varnishes (W. Rausch, "The Phosphating of Metals Eugen G. Leuze Verlag, Saalgau Württ. 1974, page 120). Although these treatments provide corrosion protection that is up to the level of protection of galvanized, chromated surfaces, they are no longer satisfactory for higher loads. Another disadvantage is that this type of impregnation often provides liquid, soft to semi-hard films with only low abrasion resistance.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, ein Verfahren bereitzustellen, das die Nachteile der bekannten Verfahren nicht aufweist und Oberflächen mit ausgezeichnetem Korrosionsschutz sowie hoher Abriebbeständigkeit liefert.The object of the invention is to provide a method which does not have the disadvantages of the known methods and which provides surfaces with excellent corrosion protection and high abrasion resistance.

Die Aufgabe wird gelöst, indem das Verfahren der eingangs genannten Art entsprechend der Erfindung derart ausgestaltet wird, daß man auf der Metalloberfläche zunächst eine Phosphatschicht mit einem Flächengewicht von mindestens 8 g/m2 erzeugt und mittels einer wäßrigen Lösung oder Dispersion eines kationischen Kunstharzes stromlos mindestens 8 g/m2 Kunstharz aufbringt und einbrennt.The object is achieved by designing the method of the type mentioned at the outset in accordance with the invention in such a way that a phosphate layer with a basis weight of at least 8 g / m 2 is first produced on the metal surface and at least electrolessly by means of an aqueous solution or dispersion of a cationic synthetic resin 8 g / m 2 synthetic resin applied and baked.

Überraschenderweise führt gerade die Kunstharzbeschichtung derartig dicker Phosphatschichten zu Erzeugnissen mit sehr hohen Korrosionsschutzwerten, was im Gegensatz zu der herrschenden Meinung steht, daß mit Kunstharz zu behandelnde Phosphatschichten dünn sein sollen (vgl. z. B. W. Rausch « Die Phosphatierung von Metallen Eugen G. Leuze Verlag, Saalgau Württ. 1974, Seite 142).Surprisingly, the synthetic resin coating leads to such thick phosphate layers Products with very high corrosion protection values, which is in contrast to the prevailing opinion that phosphate layers to be treated with synthetic resin should be thin (see, for example, BW Rausch «The Phosphating of Metals Eugen G. Leuze Verlag, Saalgau Württ. 1974, page 142) .

Eine vorteilhafte Weiterbildung des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens sieht vor, maximal 40 g/m2 Kunstharz aufzubringen. Höhere Auftragsgewichte liefern praktisch keinen zusätzlichen Korrosionsschutz mehr.An advantageous development of the method according to the invention provides for a maximum of 40 g / m 2 of synthetic resin to be applied. Higher application weights practically no longer provide additional corrosion protection.

Zur Erzeugung der Phosphatschichten werden an sich bekannte Phosphatierverfahren mit Zink. Zink + Eisen, Mangan, Mangan + Zink, Mangan + Eisen, Mangan + Zink + Eisen, Zink + Calcium und Zink + Calcium + Eisen als schichtbildende Kationen verwendet.In order to produce the phosphate layers, known phosphating processes with zinc are used. Zinc + iron, manganese, manganese + zinc, manganese + iron, manganese + zinc + iron, zinc + calcium and zinc + calcium + iron used as layer-forming cations.

Zur Modifizierung der Schichtbildung können im Phosphatierbad noch weitere Kationen, z. B. Ni, Cu, Mg, Alkali, Ammonium, zugegen sein. Bei den nicht beschleunigten Langzeitphosphatierverfahren ist Phosphat das einzige Anion in der sauren, wäßrigen Phosphatierlösung. Zur Beschleunigung der Schichtbildung und zur Einstellung der erforderlichen Azidität sind in den Bädern häufig noch weitere Anionen, z. B. Nitrat, Nitrit, Chlorid, Sulfat, Chlorat, Fluorid, komplexes Fluorid, Zitrat, anwesend.To modify the layer formation, other cations, e.g. B. Ni, Cu, Mg, alkali, ammonium. In the non-accelerated long-term phosphating process, phosphate is the only anion in the acidic, aqueous phosphating solution. To accelerate layer formation and to set the required acidity, other anions, e.g. B. nitrate, nitrite, chloride, sulfate, chlorate, fluoride, complex fluoride, citrate, present.

Für das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren eignen sich insbesondere die Phosphatierbäder, in denen mindestens ein erheblicher Anteil des während der Schichtbildung abgebeizten Eisens als zweiwertiges Eisen in Lösung bleibt.The phosphating baths are particularly suitable for the process according to the invention, in which at least a considerable proportion of the iron pickled during the layer formation remains in solution as divalent iron.

Die Konzentration der Phosphatierbäder wird vorzugsweise zwischen 20 und 120 Punkten gewählt. Die Anwendungstemperatur liegt meist im Bereich von 40 bis 98 °C. Zur Schichtbildung wird das Tauchverfahren vorgezogen, weil es in einfacherer Weise als das Spritzverfahren die Einhaltung der in der Erfindung geforderten Schichtgewichtsgrenze erlaubt. Die Phosphatierzeiten betragen üblicherweise 4 bis 30 min.The concentration of the phosphating baths is preferably chosen between 20 and 120 points. The application temperature is usually in the range of 40 to 98 ° C. The immersion process is preferred for layer formation because it allows the layer weight limit required in the invention to be maintained in a simpler manner than the spray process. The phosphating times are usually 4 to 30 minutes.

Die im erfindungsgemäßen Verfahren zur Imprägnierung benutzten kationischen Kunstharze können mit organischen Säuren oder Phosphorsäure teilweise oder voll neutralisiert in dem wäßrigen Medium als Emulsion, Dispersion und/oder kolloidale Lösung vorliegen. Der Festkörpergehalt beträgt vorzugsweise 5 bis 25 'Gew.%.The cationic synthetic resins used in the impregnation process according to the invention can be partially or fully neutralized with organic acids or phosphoric acid in the aqueous medium as an emulsion, dispersion and / or colloidal solution. The solids content is preferably 5 to 25% by weight.

Die kationischen Kunstharze werden aus der Gruppe der Polykondensations- und Polymerisationsharze ausgewählt und erhalten ihre kationische Funktion z. B. durch basische Stickstoff-enthaltende Gruppen, die nach Zugabe von Säure im wäßrigen Medium Kationen bilden. Kationische Acrylatharze sind beispielsweise durch Einpolymerisation von N,N-Dimethylaminoäthylmethacrylat erhältlich. Ferner lassen sich kationische Harze durch Umsetzung von Mannich-Basen des Bisphenols A mit Epoxidharzen herstellen. Besonders gut sind modifizierte Epoxidharze für das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren geeignet, die durch Addition eines Amins säurelöslich gemacht wurden und bei denen durch Addition eines halbseitig verkappten Diisocyanats während des Einbrennens eine Vernetzung ermöglicht ist.The cationic resins are selected from the group of polycondensation and polymerization resins and maintain their cationic function z. B. by basic nitrogen-containing groups which form cations after addition of acid in an aqueous medium. Cationic acrylate resins can be obtained, for example, by copolymerizing N, N-dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate. Cationic resins can also be prepared by reacting Mannich bases of bisphenol A with epoxy resins. Modified epoxy resins which have been made acid-soluble by addition of an amine and in which crosslinking is made possible by addition of a half-capped diisocyanate during baking are particularly suitable for the process according to the invention.

Weiterhin ist es vorteilhaft, das kationische Kunstharz aus einer wäßrigen Lösung oder Dispersion aufzubringen, die zusätzlich aus der Lack- und Farbformulierung bekannten Zusätze und Modifizierungsmittel, wie Farb-, Füll- und Korrosionsschutzpigmente, lösliche Korrosionsinhibitoren, organische Lösungsmittel und/oder Additive für einen verbesserten Filmverlauf sowie zur Unterstützung des Vernetzungsvorganges beim Einbrennen, enthaltenFurthermore, it is advantageous to apply the cationic synthetic resin from an aqueous solution or dispersion which additionally contains additives and modifiers known from the paint and color formulation, such as colorants, fillers and anti-corrosion pigments, soluble corrosion inhibitors, organic solvents and / or additives for an improved Film flow and to support the networking process when burning

Für das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren sind u. a. auch die Lackformulierungen geeignet, die für die kathodische Elektrotauchlackierung von Metallen Verwendung finden. Im Rahmen der Erfindung werden sie mit Erfolg als kationisches Kunstharz enthaltendes wäßriges Medium ohne Anwendung elektrischen Stromes eingesetzt.For the inventive method u. a. Also suitable are the paint formulations which are used for the cathodic electrocoating of metals. In the context of the invention, they are successfully used as an aqueous medium containing cationic synthetic resin without the use of electric current.

Die Aufbringung des organischen Imprägnierfilms erfolgt durch Benetzung der phosphatierten Oberfläche mit der das kationische Kunstharz enthaltenden wäßrigen Lösung oder Dispersion. Die Benetzung kann durch Aufspritzen, Übergießen, Eintauchen und gegebenenfalls anschließendes Abschleudern von überschüssiger Flüssigkeit durchgeführt werden.The organic impregnation film is applied by wetting the phosphated surface with the aqueous solution or dispersion containing the cationic synthetic resin. The wetting can be carried out by spraying on, pouring over, immersing and, if appropriate, subsequently spinning off excess liquid.

Um zu vermeiden, daß nach einmaliger Benetzung Fehlstellen im organischen Film zurückbleiben bzw. wenn hohe Auflagegewichte beabsichtigt sind, sieht eine weitere vorteilhafte Ausgestaltung der Erfindung vor, das kationische Kunstharz durch mindestens zweimaliges Benetzen mit kurzzeitigem Zwischentrocknen und abschließendem Einbrennen aufzubringen.In order to prevent defects from remaining in the organic film after wetting once or when high coating weights are intended, a further advantageous embodiment of the invention provides for the cationic resin to be applied by wetting it at least twice with brief drying and subsequent baking.

Die Zwischentrocknung sollte soweit geführt werden, bis der Film eine ausreichende mechanische Festigkeit erreicht hat.The intermediate drying should be carried out until the film has achieved sufficient mechanical strength.

Das den Auftrag des kationischen Kunstharzes abschließende Einbrennen erfolgt üblicherweise bei Objekttemperaturen zwischen 160 und 200 °C und Haltezeiten von 5 bis 30 min.The baking, which concludes the application of the cationic synthetic resin, is usually carried out at object temperatures between 160 and 200 ° C. and holding times of 5 to 30 minutes.

Eine vorteilhafte Weiterbildung der Erfindung besteht darin, zur weiteren Verbesserung des Korrosionsschutzes die Phosphatschicht vor dem Aufbringen des kationischen Kunstharzes mit an sich bekannten Cr(VI)-haltigen wäßrigen Passiviermitteln nachzubehandeln. Sie können auf Basis von Chromsäure, Chromchromat, Alkalidichromat und dergleichen formuliert sein.An advantageous development of the invention consists in post-treating the phosphate layer with known Cr (VI) -containing aqueous passivating agents before the application of the cationic synthetic resin in order to further improve the corrosion protection. They can be formulated based on chromic acid, chromium chromate, alkali dichromate and the like.

Eine Nachbehandlung im Anschluß an das Einbrennen des kationischen Kunstharzes mit einem Korrosionsschutzöl stellt eine weitere vorteilhafte Ausführungsform der Erfindung dar. Hierdurch wird der Korrosionsschutz häufig weiter heraufgesetzt und der Oberfläche, insbesondere nach Behandlung als Schüttgut, ein ansprechendes gleichmäßig glänzendes Aussehen vermittelt. Eine anschließende Lackierung ist nicht vorgesehen.Aftertreatment after baking the cationic synthetic resin with a corrosion protection oil represents a further advantageous embodiment of the invention. As a result, the corrosion protection is often further increased and the surface, in particular after treatment as bulk material, is given an appealing, uniformly shiny appearance. Subsequent painting is not planned.

Das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren eignet sich insbesondere zum hochwertigen Korrosionsschutz von Massenteilen aus dem funktionellen Bereich. Typische Werkstücke sind Schrauben, Muttern, Unterlegscheiben, Federn, Befestigungselemente, Bremsteile und dergleichen. Der Schutzwert der nach dem erfindungsgemäßen Verfahren erzeugten Schichten liegt meist deutlich über dem von chromatierten, elektrolytisch erzeugten Zink- und Cadmiumschichten.The method according to the invention is particularly suitable for high-quality corrosion protection of Mass parts from the functional area. Typical workpieces are screws, nuts, washers, springs, fasteners, brake parts and the like. The protective value of the layers produced by the process according to the invention is usually significantly higher than that of chromated, electrolytically produced zinc and cadmium layers.
