Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zur Erzeugung von Konversionsschichten auf Oberflächen aus Zink und/oder Zink-Aluminium Legierungen mittels wäßriger saurer Chromatierungslösungen, die Chrom-VI-, Nitrat- und Phosphationen enthalten.The invention relates to a process for the production of conversion layers on surfaces made of zinc and / or zinc-aluminum alloys by means of aqueous acidic chromating solutions which contain chromium VI, nitrate and phosphate ions.

Es ist bekannt, durch Feuerverzinkung oder elektrolytische Verzinkung von Stahl erhaltene Oberflächen mit Chromatierungslösungen zu behandeln, um dadurch insbesondere den Korrosionsschutz zu verbessern und Verfärbung sowie Weißrostbildung zu verhindern. Neben Verfahren zur Grünchromatierung, d.h. zur Chromatierung mit Chromatierungslösungen, die Phosphat enthalten, haben sich vor allem solche zur Gelbchromatierung durchgesetzt (Handbuch der Galvanotechnik, Bd. 3 (1969), Seiten 135 ff.). Hierzu dienen in erster Linie Chromatierungslösungen, die Chromat, Borsäure und Fluorid als wesentliche Bestandteile enthalten.It is known to treat surfaces obtained by hot-dip galvanizing or electrolytic galvanizing of steel with chromating solutions, in particular to improve corrosion protection and to prevent discoloration and white rust formation. In addition to processes for green chromating, i.e. For chromating with chromating solutions containing phosphate, especially those for yellow chromating have become established (Handbuch der Galvanotechnik, Vol. 3 (1969), pages 135 ff.). Chromating solutions that contain chromate, boric acid and fluoride as essential components serve primarily for this purpose.

Obgleich die zuletzt genannten Chromatierungslösungen bei der Behandlung von reinen zinkoberflächen gute Ergebnisse erzielen lassen, treten Schwierigkeiten auf, wenn die zu behandelnde Oberfläche aus Zink-Aluminium Legierungen besteht. Gerade diese Legierungstypen erlangen in jüngerer Zeit als Beschichtungsmaterial für Stahlblech oder -band zunehmend zum Austausch der herkömmlichen Feuerverzinkung an Bedeutung. Ein Beispiel für eine derartige Zink-Aluminium Legierung ist die unter der Bezeichnung Galvalume® im Handel befindliche Legierung, die 55 Gew.-% Aluminium, 43,5 Gew.-% Zink und 1,5 Gew.-% Silizium enthält. Herkömmliche, der Behandlung von reinen Zinkoberflächen dienende Chromatierungslösungen versagen bei derartigen Zinklegierungen, indem die damit erzeugten Konversionsschichten ein Schwarzwerden bzw. eine Verfärbung der Zink-Aluminium Legierung unter normalen atmosphärischen Einflüssen nicht verhindern können.Although the latter chromating solutions give good results in the treatment of pure zinc surfaces, difficulties arise when the surface to be treated consists of zinc-aluminum alloys. These types of alloys have recently become increasingly important as a coating material for steel sheet or strip for the replacement of conventional hot-dip galvanizing. An example of such a zinc-aluminum alloy is the alloy commercially available under the name Galvalume®, which contains 55% by weight. Contains aluminum, 43.5% by weight zinc and 1.5% by weight silicon. Conventional chromating solutions used for the treatment of pure zinc surfaces fail with such zinc alloys because the conversion layers produced with them cannot prevent blackening or discoloration of the zinc-aluminum alloy under normal atmospheric influences.

Aus Patent Abstracts of Japan, Band 8, Nr. 222, 1984, Seite 5, C 246 und Kokai-Nr. 59 104 483 ist ein Chromatierungsverfahren von Oberflächen von Zinklegierungen bekannt. Die Chromatierungslösung enthält 0,1 bis 15 g/l Cr⁶⁺, 1,0 bis 12 g/l Cl⁻, 0,5 bis 2,0 g/l F⁻, 0,5 bis 2,0 g/l SO₄²⁻, 0,5 bis 3,0 g/l Zn²⁺ und gegebenenfalls 0,05 bis 1,0 g/l PO₄³⁻ und 0,005 bis 1,0 g/l NO₃⁻. Unter Verwendung dieser Lösung wird eine Zinklegierung, die 1 bis 30 Gew.-% Aluminium enthält, unter Chromatbildung behandelt.From Patent Abstracts of Japan, Volume 8, No. 222, 1984, page 5, C 246 and Kokai No. 59 104 483 a chromating process of surfaces of zinc alloys is known. The chromating solution contains 0.1 to 15 g / l Cr⁶⁺, 1.0 to 12 g / l Cl⁻, 0.5 to 2.0 g / l F⁻, 0.5 to 2.0 g / l SO₄²⁻ , 0.5 to 3.0 g / l Zn²⁺ and optionally 0.05 to 1.0 g / l PO₄³⁻ and 0.005 to 1.0 g / l NO₃⁻. Using this solution, a zinc alloy containing 1 to 30% by weight of aluminum is treated to form chromate.

Aus US-PS 4 531 978 ist ein Verfahren zur Herstellung von Chromat-Konversionsüberzügen auf Aluminiumoberflächen bekannt, wobei die Aluminiumoberfläche in eine saure, wäßrige Lösung eingetaucht wird, die sechswertiges Chrom enthält. Darüberhinaus wird die Aluminiumoberfläche einer Ultraschallbehandlung unterworfen, zur Vermeidung der üblicherweise verwendeten Beschleunigerkomponenten.US Pat. No. 4,531,978 discloses a process for producing chromate conversion coatings on aluminum surfaces, the aluminum surface being immersed in an acidic, aqueous solution which contains hexavalent chromium. In addition, the aluminum surface is subjected to an ultrasound treatment to avoid the commonly used accelerator components.

Aus Patent Abstracts of Japan, Band 9, Nr. 17, 1984, Seite 134, C 262 und Kokai-Nr. 59 166 678 ist ein Behandlungsverfahren von Stahlblechen bekannt, die mit Eisen-Zink-Legierungen beschichtet sind.From Patent Abstracts of Japan, Volume 9, No. 17, 1984, page 134, C 262 and Kokai No. 59 166 678 a treatment method of steel sheets is known, which are coated with iron-zinc alloys.

Die Bleche werden in eine wäßrige Lösung eingebracht, die 0,005 bis 1 Mol/l Chromanhydrid, 0,001 bis 0,5 Mol/l Nickel, Cobalt und Eisen als Nitrat, Sulfat, Phosphat, Fluorid oder als Fluorokomplex enthalten.The sheets are placed in an aqueous solution containing 0.005 to 1 mol / l chromium anhydride, 0.001 to 0.5 mol / l nickel, cobalt and iron as nitrate, sulfate, phosphate, fluoride or as a fluorocomplex.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, ein Verfahren zur Erzeugung von Konversionsschichten bereitzustellen, das insbesondere bei Anwendung auf Zink-Aluminium Legierungen gute Ergebnisse bei der korrosionsbeständigkeit erzielen laßt, aber darüber hinaus insofern universell einsetzbar ist, als auch herkömmliche "reine" Zinkoberflächen mit einer Konversionsschicht versehen werden können.The object of the invention is to provide a process for producing conversion layers which, particularly when used on zinc-aluminum alloys, gives good results in terms of corrosion resistance, but is also universally applicable insofar as conventional "pure" zinc surfaces are provided with a conversion layer can be.

Die Aufgabe wird gelöst, indem das Verfahren der eingangs genannten Art entsprechend der Erfindung derart ausgestaltet wird, daß man die Oberflächen mit einer Chloridfreien Chromatierungslösung in Kontakt bringt, die 2 bis 20 g/l Chromionen (ber. als Cr), 1 bis 15 g/l Phosphationen (ber. als PO₄) und 0,5 bis 6 g/l Nitrationen (ber. als NO₃) enthält.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 the surfaces are brought into contact with a chloride-free chromating solution which contains 2 to 20 g / l of chromium ions (calculated as Cr) and 1 to 15 g / l phosphate ions (calc. as PO₄) and 0.5 to 6 g / l nitrate ions (calc. as NO₃) contains.

Das Verfahren ist zur Behandlung von Zinkoberflächen, d.h. Werkstücken aus massivem Zink, oder verzinkten Metallen, wie verzinktem Stahl, die praktisch keine oder nur geringfügig Legierungsbestandteile enthalten, insbesondere aber für Oberflächen aus Zink-Aluminium Legierung, z.B. der vorgenannten Beschaffenheit, geeignet.The process is for the treatment of zinc surfaces, i.e. Workpieces made of solid zinc, or galvanized metals, such as galvanized steel, which contain practically no or only minor alloy components, but in particular for surfaces made of zinc-aluminum alloy, e.g. of the aforementioned quality.

Die wirksamen Bestandteile der Chromatierungslösung werden in an sich bekannter Weise eingebracht.The active constituents of the chromating solution are introduced in a manner known per se.

Die Chrom-VI-Ionen werden zweckmäßigerweise über Chromsäure, Alkali- oder Ammoniumchromat bzw. -dichromat zugesetzt. Außer den Chrom-VI-Ionen enthält die Chromatierungslösung im allgemeinen auch Chrom-III-Ionen, die als solche zugeführt oder aber durch Reduktion eines Teiles der Chrom-VI-Ionen erzeugt werden können. Der überwiegende Teil der in der Chromatierungslösung gelösten Chromionen befindet sich jedoch im sechswertigen Zustand.The chromium VI ions are expediently added via chromic acid, alkali metal or ammonium chromate or dichromate. In addition to the chromium VI ions, the chromating solution generally also contains chromium III ions, which can be added as such or can be generated by reducing some of the chromium VI ions. However, the major part of the chromium ions dissolved in the chromating solution is in the hexavalent state.

Die Nitrationen werden am zweckmäßigsten über Salpetersäure, Alkali- und/oder Ammoniumnitrat eingebracht. Die Verwendung von Salpetersäure ist bevorzugt.The nitrate ions are most conveniently introduced via nitric acid, alkali and / or ammonium nitrate. The use of nitric acid is preferred.

Der Phosphationengehalt wird in einfachster Weise durch Zugabe von Alkali- oder Ammoniumphosphat bzw. -polyphosphat oder aber durch Zugabe von Phosphorsäure eingestellt.The phosphate ion content is adjusted in the simplest manner by adding alkali metal or ammonium phosphate or polyphosphate or else by adding phosphoric acid.

Die Chromatierungslösung arbeitet im sauren Bereich. Besonders vorteilhaft ist es, die Oberflächen mit einer Chromatierungslösung in Kontakt zu bringen, deren pH-Wert unter 2 liegt. Die pH-Wert-Einstellung kann erfolgen, wenn einzelne der vorgenannten Badbestandteile in Form freier Säure zugegeben werden. Es sind jedoch auch andere geeignete Säuren verwendbar.The chromating solution works in the acidic range. It is particularly advantageous to bring the surfaces into contact with a chromating solution whose pH is below 2. The pH can be adjusted if individual of the aforementioned bath components are added in the form of free acid. However, other suitable acids can also be used.

Insbesondere bei der Behandlung von Zink-Aluminium Legierungen, wie Galvalume, ist es von Vorteil, zur Beschleunigung der Ausbildung der Konversionsschicht und zur Erhöhung deren Qualität der Chromatierungslösung Aktivatorionen zuzusetzen.In particular in the treatment of zinc-aluminum alloys, such as galvalume, it is advantageous to add activator ions to the chromating solution in order to accelerate the formation of the conversion layer and to increase its quality.

Eine weitere bevorzugte Ausgestaltung der Erfindung sieht daher vor, die Oberflächen mit einer Chromatierungslösung in Kontakt zu bringen, die zusätzlich eine die Schichtausbildung beschleunigende Menge Fluorid, vorzugsweise 0,5 g/l, bzw. Molybdat, vorzugsweise 0,5 bis 0,7 g/l, bzw. Wolframat, vorzugsweise etwa 0,2 g/l, enthält. Dabei wird das Fluorid zweckmäßigerweise in Form von Flußsäure, Molybdat in Form des Alkali- oder Ammoniumsalzes, Wolframat in Form von Alkaliwolframat zugegeben.A further preferred embodiment of the invention therefore provides for the surfaces to be brought into contact with a chromating solution which additionally contains an amount of fluoride, preferably 0.5 g / l, or molybdate, preferably 0.5 to 0.7 g, which accelerates the formation of the layer / l, or tungsten, preferably about 0.2 g / l. The fluoride is expediently added in the form of hydrofluoric acid, molybdate in the form of the alkali or ammonium salt, tungstate in the form of alkali tungstate.

Die Behandlungslösung wird auf die zuvor gereinigten Oberflächen in üblicher Weise appliziert, beispielsweise durch Spritzen, Tauchen, Fluten, Aufbürsten oder Rollenauftrag. Überschüssige Lösung kann entfernt werden, z.B. durch Verwendung von Abquetschrollen. Auf diese Weise wird ein hinsichtlich der Dicke bestimmter Flüssigkeitsfilm auf der Oberfläche geschaffen, der - beim Auftrocknen - für das erwünschte Schichtgewicht verantwortlich ist. Gemäß einer bevorzugten Ausgestaltung der Erfindung sollte das Schichtgewicht auf ca. 10,8 mg/m² (ber. als Cr) eingestellt werden. Bei Verfahren, bei denen die Schichtausbildung in Kontakt mit der Chromatierungslösung erfolgt, hängt das erhaltene Schichtgewicht von der Behandlungsdauer, der Temperatur der Chromatierungslösung und der Konzentration der wirksamen Bestandteile ab.The treatment solution is applied to the previously cleaned surfaces in the usual way, for example by spraying, dipping, flooding, brushing or roller application. Excess solution can be removed, for example by using squeeze rollers. In this way, a liquid film with a certain thickness is created on the surface, which - when it dries - is responsible for the desired layer weight. According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the layer weight should be set to approximately 10.8 mg / m 2 (calculated as Cr). In processes in which the layer is formed in contact with the chromating solution, the layer weight obtained depends on the duration of the treatment, the temperature of the chromating solution and the concentration of the active ingredients.

Die Anwendungstemperatur der Chromatierungslösung liegt im allgemeinen im Bereich von 37,8 bis 87,8°C. Eine Temperatur im Intervall von 54,4 bis 71,1°C ist bevorzugt. Besonders günstig ist eine Behandlungstemperatur von 60°C.The application temperature of the chromating solution is generally in the range from 37.8 to 87.8 ° C. A temperature in the interval of 54.4 to 71.1 ° C is preferred. A treatment temperature of 60 ° C. is particularly favorable.

Die Behandlungsdauer kann zwischen 0,5 sec. und 1 min. liegen. Sofern besonders hohe Schichtgewichte angestrebt sind, kann die Behandlungsdauer auch über 1 min. liegen.The treatment time can be between 0.5 sec. And 1 min. lie. If particularly high layer weights are desired, the treatment time can also be over 1 min. lie.

Der Verfahrensgang zur Herstellung von verzinktem und chromatiertem Stahlband läuft üblicherweise wie folgt ab:
Das Stahlband wird zunächst mit einem organischen Lösungsmittel gereinigt, um Rostschutzöl zu entfernen, dann einer Reinigung mit z.B. einem alkalischen Reiniger unterworfen. Anschließend, erfolgt Wasserspülung, Trocknung und Verzinken in einer Schmelze einer Zink-Aluminium Legierung. Nach Verfestigung der Legierungsschicht kann das Band direkt mit der Chromatierungslösung in Kontakt gebracht werden.
The process for the production of galvanized and chromated steel strip usually proceeds as follows:
The steel strip is first cleaned with an organic solvent to remove anti-rust oil, then subjected to cleaning with, for example, an alkaline cleaner. This is followed by water rinsing, drying and galvanizing in a zinc-aluminum alloy melt. After the alloy layer has solidified, the strip can be brought into direct contact with the chromating solution.

Die Chromatierungslösung kann unter Verwendung der wirksamen Badbestandteile direkt in gebrauchsfähiger Form hergestellt werden. Im allgemeinen ist es jedoch zweckmäßiger, die Behandlungslösung mit Hilfe eines Konzentrates anzusetzen. Ein derartiges geeignetes Konzentrat enthält beispielsweise 30,4 Gew.-% Chromsäure (ca. 219 g/l Chromionen); 4,35 Gew.-% Salpetersäure (100 Gew.-%ig; ca. 59 g/l Nitrationen), 10,65 Gew.-% Phosphorsäure (100 Gew.-%ig; ca. 142 g/l Phosphationen), Rest Wasser. Es besitzt eine Dichte von 1,383 g/cm³.The chromating solution can be prepared directly in a usable form using the effective bath components. In general, however, it is more expedient to prepare the treatment solution using a concentrate. Such a suitable concentrate contains, for example, 30.4% by weight chromic acid (approx. 219 g / l chromium ions); 4.35% by weight nitric acid (100% by weight; approx. 59 g / l nitrate ions), 10.65% by weight phosphoric acid (100% by weight; approx. 142 g / l phosphate ions), Rest of water. It has a density of 1.383 g / cm³.

Die Blechstücke wurden dann dem in der Branche üblichen Test zur Vorbestimmung der Witterungsbeständigkeit unterworfen. Hierzu erfolgte zunächst eine Entfernung des Rostschutzöles mit Petroleumsolvent. Anschließend wurden die Blechstücke aufrecht in mit destilliertem Wasser gefüllten Glasschalen in einem Feuchtraum, der auf 37,7°C temperiert war, verbracht. Während des Testes erfolgte in regelmäßigen zeitlichen Abständen eine Prüfung und Bewertung des Aussehens der Oberfläche hinsichtlich Dunkelfärbung bzw. Verfärbung. Die Bewertung geschah mittels einer von 1 bis 8 reichenden Skala, wobei 8 keine feststellbare und 1 vollständige Dunkelfärbung bedeutet. Die Ergebnisse sind in der nachfolgenden Tabelle angegeben.The pieces of sheet metal were then subjected to the industry standard test to determine weather resistance. For this purpose, the rust protection oil was first removed with petroleum solvent. Then were the sheet metal pieces were placed upright in glass dishes filled with distilled water in a damp room which had been heated to 37.7 ° C. During the test, the appearance of the surface was checked and assessed at regular intervals with regard to darkening or discoloration. The evaluation was carried out on a scale ranging from 1 to 8, with 8 meaning no discernible and 1 complete darkening. The results are shown in the table below.
