Definitions
- This invention relates to phosphating metal surfaces.
- Japanese Patent Publications (unexamined) No. 107784/1980 and No. 152183/1980 (both in the name Nippon Paint Co. Ltd.) disclose phosphating methods for treating iron-based metal surfaces which are particularly suitable for treating manufactured products having complicated surfaces, such as automobile bodies.
- the phosphating methods are in use commercially in the automotive industry for pre-treating automobile bodies prior to cationic electrocoating, which is a coating process now used extensively in this industry.
- 107784/1980 is carried out by first subjecting the metal surface to a dipping treatment with an acidic aqueous solution containing 0.5 to 1.5 g/I of zinc ion, 5 to 30 g/I of phosphate ion, and 0.01 to 0.2 g/I of nitrite ion and/or 0.05 to 2 g/I of m-nitrobenzenesulfonate ion at a bath temperature of 40° to 70°C for 15 seconds or more, followed by spraying with the above-mentioned solution for 2 seconds or more.
- 152183/1980 comprises spraying onto the metal surface an acidic aqueous solution containing 0.4 to 1.0 g/I of zinc ion, 5 to 40 g/I of phosphate ion, 0.01 to 0.2 g/I of nitrite ion and 2.0 to 5.0 g/I of chlorate ion at 40° to 70°C for 40 seconds or more.
- U.S. Patent 3,338,755 discloses a process for phosphating metal surfaces with a phosphating solution containing zinc, manganese, phosphate, nitrate, and nitrite, as essential ingredients, in stated proportions.
- German Patent 29 31 693 discloses a phosphating process using a solution containing zinc, manganese, phosphate, nitrate, and chlorate ions in stated gram-atom relationships.
- Japanese Patent J50139-039 discloses a conversion coating solution containing manganese ions for the treatment of zinc surfaces.
- this prior art solution contains from 3 to 20 g/I of zinc ions, which results in a conversion coating having leaf-like crystals on iron-based surfaces. Such leaf-like crystals are unsuitable as a substrate for cationic electrocoating.
- the solutions of this patent are unsuitable for treating both zinc-based and iron-based surfaces.
- EP-A-0 018 841 discloses a coating composition for forming a zinc phosphate coating on a metal surface, which composition comprises an acidic, aqueous solution containing about 0.4 to about 1 g/I of zinc, about 5 to about 40 g/I of phosphate, and about 0.01 to about 0.2 g/I of nitrite.
- the specification states that there are applications where advantages can be realized by applying the composition utilizing intermittent spraying, and that for these applications, the composition includes also about 2 to about 5 g/I of chlorate.
- the aqueous coating solution may contain, in addition to the aforementioned ingredients, one or more of: nickel, cobalt, calcium and manganese ions, and one or more of nitrate, chloride and complex fluoride ions.
- EP-A-0 060 716 discloses a process for phosphating an iron- or zinc-based metal surface comprising subjecting the metal surface to a dipping treatment in an acidic aqueous solution characterized in that the solution contains:
- the conversion coating accelerator is preferably at least one of the following:
- the acidic aqueous solution may also contain one or more of the following:
- the present inventors have surprisingly found that by the inclusion of defined quantities of manganese ion in certain acidic aqueous phosphating solutions, very satisfactory results can be attained when the resulting solutions are applied by spraying more than once.
- the inventors have further found that the amounts of chlorate ion can be markedly lower than those of known compositions.
- the present invention provides an improved phosphating method for metal surfaces, which is particularly suitable for treating metal surfaces, such as those of car bodies, which have both iron-based surfaces and zinc-based surfaces.
- the method is especially advantageous for forming phosphate coating films suitable for electrocoating, particularly cationic electrocoating.
- the invention provides a process for phosphating an iron- or zinc-based metal surface comprising contacting the metal surface with an acidic aqueous solution containing:
- the solution can be formed by a method comprising diluting with water a concentrate which comprises:
- a metal substrate having an iron- or zinc-based surface, which surface is coated with a zinc phosphate conversion coating which contains from 1 to 20%, preferably 2 to 15%, especially 2 to 7%, by weight of manganese, and which coating has a non-leaf-like crystal structure on iron-based surfaces.
- the solution contains 0.1 to 0.4 g/I of zinc ion. In another particular, preferred, embodiment, the solution contains 1.6 to 2.0 g/I of zinc ion. In another particular, preferred, embodiment, the solution contains 0.2 to 0.5 g/I of manganese ion.
- the present acidic aqueous solution may also contain one or more of the following:
- the chlorate concentration in the present solution is preferably 0.2 to 1.5 g/I.
- the present process is carried out preferably at a temperature of from 40° to 70°C, especially 45° to 60°C, and preferably for a contact time of at least 5 seconds, more preferably at least 15 seconds, especially 30 to 180 seconds, and most preferably 30 to 120 seconds, as hereinafter discussed.
- the period of spray treatment is generally at least 5 seconds. It should be noted that at temperatures below about 40°C coatings can be formed, but the coating is sparse, coating formation is relatively slow and longer times are required to form satisfactory coatings. At temperatures above 70°C, the conversion coating accelerators begin to decompose at an unacceptable rate, changing the composition of the solution and resulting in an unacceptable conversion coating; also, precipitates begin to form in the bath.
- the phosphated metal surface(s) are then usually coated with a siccative coating by a known electrocoating process, preferably by the cationic electrocoating process.
- iron- or zinc-based metal surface means iron-based surfaces, iron alloy-based surfaces, zinc-based surfaces, and zinc alloy-based surfaces.
- Zinc-based and zinc alloy-based surfaces include, for example, zinc plated steel plate formed by hot dipping, alloyed zinc plated steel plate formed by hot dipping, zinc plated steel plate formed by electroplating, and alloyed zinc plated steel plate formed by electroplating.
- An important advantage of the present invention is that surfaces of metal components, such as car bodies, that contain both iron-based surfaces and zinc-based surfaces can be treated by the process of the invention with excellent results.
- the process of the invention produces better conversion coatings than are obtainable with conventional dip or spray treating processes, and the amount of etching of the metal surfaces during the present process is only 2/3 to 4/5 that of conventional processes, so that both the quantity of chemicals used in the process as well as sludge formation is only from 2/3 to 4/5 that of conventional processes.
- the present process is equally applicable to the treatment of a single metal surface of a type described above.
- the metal surface to be phosphated is preferably first degreased by dipping in and/or spraying with a known alkaline degreasing agent at 50° to 60°C for a few minutes; washed with tap water; dipped in and/or sprayed with a known surface conditioner at room temperature for 10 to 30 seconds; and the thus treated metal surface then contacted with the acidic aqueous solution of the invention at 40° to 70°C for at least 5 seconds. Finally, the thus treated metal surface is preferably washed with tap water and then with deionized water. An acidic final chromate rinse can be employed before the rinse with deionized water.
- the acidic aqueous solution contains
- the ranges can be adjusted depending on the intended objects, materials and conditions used. However, when the amount of zinc ion is less than 0.1 g/l, an even phosphate film will seldom form on an iron-based surface, and a partially blue-coloured film is formed. On the other hand, when the amount of zinc ion is in excess of 2.0 g/I, then the film tends to be in the form of leaf-like crystals and deficient in secondary adhesion, which renders it unsuitable as a substrate for cationic electrocoating.
- the amount of phosphate ion in the solution is less than about 5 g/l, an uneven film results, whereas when the amount of phosphate ion exceeds 30 g/I, no further improvement in the phosphate film is realized and hence, the use of greater quantities of phosphate is uneconomical.
- the amount of manganese ion is less than about 0.2 g/l, the manganese content in the film formed on the zinc-based surface is insufficient, resulting in inadequate adhesivity of the siccative coating film to the phosphate conversion coating after cationic electrocoating.
- the amount of manganese ion exceeds 3 g/l, no further improvement in the phosphate coating is realized and hence, use of a greater quantity is uneconomical.
- the present contact of the metal surface with the coating solution a plurality of times can be by intermittent spraying of the metal surface.
- the coating solution can be applied by intermittent spray where the metal substrate is sprayed for about 5 to about 30 seconds, then allowed to stand without any coating application for about 5 to about 30 seconds, and then sprayed for at least 5 seconds, with a total spray time of at least 40 seconds. This cycle can be carried out once, twice or three times.
- treating times and treating sequences can be changed according to the composition of the metal substrate to be treated and the treating solution and conditions to be used.
- the coating solution is conveniently applied at a spraying pressure of from about 0.5 to about 2 kg/cm 2.
- the resulting phosphate film present on the zinc-based surface should preferably contain from about 1.0 to about 20% by weight, more preferably from about 2 to about 18% by weight, and most preferably from about 5 to about 18% by weight of manganese ion, which is very important for the subsequent cationic electrocoating.
- the zinc ion is usually present in from about 28 to about 45% by weight, preferably about 28 to about 40% by weight.
- nickel ion is used in the solution, then from about 0.3 to about 4% by weight, preferably about 0.5 to about 4% by weight of nickel is usually present in the coating.
- the remainder of the coating is usually phosphate and water, except for quantities of other ions such as sodium, calcium and magnesium, which usually total less than 1% by weight. It has also been found that as the content of manganese in the bath increases, increased manganese coating results. However, increasing the manganese level of the coating above the ranges given above does not improve coating quality.
- sources of zinc ions for use in the invention one or more of the following can be employed: zinc oxide, zinc carbonate, and zinc nitrate.
- sources of phosphate ions one or more of the following can be used: sodium phosphate, zinc phosphate, and manganese phosphate.
- sources of manganese ions one or more of the following can be employed: manganese carbonate, manganese nitrate, manganese chloride, and manganese phosphate.
- sources of nitrite conversion coating accelerator sodium nitrite or ammonium nitrite can be employed.
- sources of chlorate ions chloric acid, sodium chlorate or ammonium chlorate can be employed.
- the addition of nickel ion to the manganese-containing composition results in further improvement in the performance of the phosphate conversion coating, so that the adhesion and the corrosion-resistance of the film produced by cationic electrocoating are also further improved.
- nickel carbonate, nickel nitrate, nickel chloride, nickel phosphate, etc. can be used for nickel ions; sodium nitrate, ammonium nitrate, zinc nitrate, manganese nitrate, nickel nitrate, etc. for nitrate ions; and sodium m-nitrobenzene-sulfonate or hydrogen peroxide for additional conversion coating accelerators.
- the acidic aqueous treating solutions are conveniently prepared by diluting an aqueous concentrate which contains a number of the solution ingredients in proper weight ratios, and then adding other ingredients as needed to prepare the treating solutions.
- the concentrates are advantageously formulated to contain zinc ion, phosphate ion and manganese ion, and optionally nickel ion, in a weight proportion of
- the concentrates are preferably formulated to contain at least about 25 g/I, and more preferably from about 50 g/I to 130 g/l, of zinc ion.
- the phosphated metal surface is preferably rinsed and electrocoated.
- Example XXV The invention is illustrated by the following Example XXV. Comparative Examples I-XXIV and XXVI-XXXI are presented for purposes of comparison.
