Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zur Erleichterung der Kaltumformung von Edelstahl durch Aufbringen eines Oxalatüberzuges und daran anschließend eines Schmiermittels.The invention relates to a method for facilitating the cold forming of stainless steel by applying an oxalate coating and then a lubricant.

Es ist bekannt, Edelstähle zur Erleichterung der Kaltumformung, z. B. durch Rohrzug oder Kaltstauchen, mit einem Oxalatüberzug und einem anschließend aufgebrachten Schmiermittel zu versehen. Die zur Erzeugung des Oxalatüberzuges eingesetzten Oxalatierungslösungen enthalten als Hauptbestandteil Oxalsäure, Zusatzstoffe, wie Fluorid oder Chlorid, die den Beizangriff bewirken, und Natriumthiosulfat oder dergl., die als Beschleuniger bei der Kristatlkeimbildung in der Schicht wirken. Durch Eintauchen des Werkstückes in eine derartige Oxatatierungstösung läßt sich ein Oxalatüberzug von geeignetem Schichtgewicht erzeugen, auf den in einem nächsten Arbeitsgang mit Hilfe einer Metallseifenlösung oder -dispersion eine Schmierschicht aufgebracht wird. Ein solches Schichtsystem stellt die derzeit beste Form der Vorbereitung von Edelstählen für die Kaltumformung dar, sofern herkömmliche Umformungsgrade beabsichtigt sind.It is known to use stainless steels to facilitate cold forming, e.g. B. by tube drawing or cold upsetting, with an oxalate coating and a subsequently applied lubricant. The oxalation solutions used to produce the oxalate coating contain, as the main constituent, oxalic acid, additives such as fluoride or chloride, which cause the pickling attack, and sodium thiosulfate or the like, which act as accelerators in the formation of crystals in the layer. By immersing the workpiece in such an oxidizing solution, an oxalate coating of a suitable layer weight can be produced, to which a lubricating layer is applied in a next operation using a metal soap solution or dispersion. Such a layer system is currently the best form of preparation of stainless steels for cold forming, provided that conventional degrees of deformation are intended.

In jüngerer Zeit geht jedoch der Trend dahin, Edelstähle zunehmend schwereren Kaltumformungsgraden zu unterwerfen. Insbesondere beim Kaltstauchen sinf mitunter Reduktionsgrade von 80% und mehr erwünscht. Bei derartig hohen Umformungsgraden weisen jedoch die nach bekannten Verfahren erzeugten Oxalatüberzüge nicht mehr die erforderliche Haftung auf, so daß der Oxalatüberzug entfernt wird und es zum Anfressen oder Kaltverschweißen kommt. Die Folge ist, daß ein Austausch der Kaltumformungswerkzeuge unvermeidbar ist und ein erheblicher Teil der produzierten Artikel Ausschuß darstellt. Das bedeutet, daß sich Effizienz und Ausstoß bei der Kaltumformung verringern, was mit beträchtlichen Verlusten verbunden ist.More recently, however, the trend has been towards subjecting stainless steels to increasingly severe degrees of cold forming. Reduction levels of 80% and more are sometimes desirable, especially for cold upsetting. With such high degrees of deformation, however, the oxalate coatings produced by known processes no longer have the required adhesion, so that the oxalate coating is removed and corrosion or cold welding occurs. The result is that an exchange of the cold forming tools is inevitable and represents a significant part of the articles produced committee. This means that the efficiency and output during cold forming are reduced, which is associated with considerable losses.

Parallel zum vorgenannten Trend zu zunehmend schwereren Umformungen geht die Forderung nach Edelstählen mit immer höherer Korrosionsfestigkeit, insbesondere beim Einsatz in der chemischen Industrie. Auch bei der Gewinnung von Erdöl mit ständig tiefer reichenden Bohrlöchern, die mit der Einwirkung hochkorrosiver Gase verbunden ist, können die bislang gebräuchlichen Edelstähle nicht mehr eingesetzt werden. Es sind statt dessen solche mit erheblich höherem Korrosionswiderstand erforderlich. Derartige Edelstähle enthalten häufig 20 Gew.-% Nickel und mehr sowie 20 Gew.-% Chrom und mehr.In parallel to the aforementioned trend towards increasingly heavier forming, there is a demand for stainless steels with ever increasing corrosion resistance, particularly when used in the chemical industry. Even in the extraction of crude oil with ever deeper boreholes, which is associated with the action of highly corrosive gases, the previously used stainless steels can no longer be used. Instead, those with significantly higher corrosion resistance are required. Such stainless steels often contain 20% by weight of nickel and more and 20% by weight of chromium and more.

Gerade die hochwertigen und hochkorrosionsfesten Edelstähle verhalten sich hinsichtlich der Ausbildung von Oxalatüberzügen nachteilig, indem die Schichtbildungsreaktion bei Verwendung herkömmlicher Oxalatierungslösungen stark behindert ist. Um mit dem Problem fertig zu werden, hat man den Gehalt der den Beizangriff bewirkenden Badbestandteile, wie Fluorid oder Chlorid, erhöht, was jedoch zur Folge hat, daß die Behandlungsdauer mehr Zeit in Anspruch nimmt und die Überzugsausbildung nicht zufriedenstellend ist.The high-quality and highly corrosion-resistant stainless steels behave disadvantageously with regard to the formation of oxalate coatings, since the layer formation reaction is severely hindered when using conventional oxalation solutions. In order to deal with the problem, the content of the bath components causing the pickling attack, such as fluoride or chloride, has been increased, but this has the consequence that the treatment time takes longer and the coating formation is unsatisfactory.

Die vorgenannten Probleme haben dazu geführt, daß man bei der Erleichterung der Kaltumformung von Edelstählen die Technologie der Erzeugung von Konversionsüberzügen verlassen und sich statt dessen dem Studium der Bildung von nicht mit dem Grundmetall reagierenden Harzüberzügen zugewandt hat. Jedoch sind derartige Harzüberzüge bislang den Oxalatüberzügen noch immer unterlegen.The foregoing problems have resulted in abandoning conversion coating technology in facilitating cold forming of stainless steels, and instead have turned to studying the formation of resin coatings which do not react with the base metal. However, such resin coatings have so far been inferior to oxalate coatings.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist, ein Verfahren zur Erleichterung der Kaltumformung von Edelstählen bereitszustellen, mit dem insbesondere die vorstehend angesprochenen Probleme behoben werden können und das auch bei hochkorrosionsfesten Edelstählen zu haftfesten Überzügen führt, so daß selbst bei schweren Kaltumformungen ein Anfressen oder Kattverschweißen vermieden wird.The object of the invention is to provide a method for facilitating the cold forming of stainless steels, with which in particular the problems mentioned above can be remedied and which also leads to adhesive coatings in the case of highly corrosion-resistant stainless steels, so that even in the case of heavy cold forming, seizure or cold welding is avoided.

Die Aufgabe wird gelöst, indem das Verfahren der eingangs genannten Art entsprechend der Erfindung derart ausgestaltet wird, daß man den Oxalatüberzug durch Kontakt mit einer Oxalatierungslösung aufbringt, die aus

  • 20 bis 100 g/I Oxalsäure
  • 5 bis 50 g/I Hydroxylammoniumsulfat
  • 0,3 bis 3 g/I wasserlöslichem Polymer und
  • 0,1 bis 10 g/I Natriumthiosulfat gegebenenfalls Fluorid- und/oder Chloridzusätzen sowie aus in Lösung gehenden Bestandteilen des behandelten Edelstahles und üblichen Verunreinigungen Rest Wasser besteht.
The object is achieved in that the method of the type mentioned at the outset is designed in accordance with the invention in such a way that the oxalate coating is applied by contact with an oxalating solution
  • 20 to 100 g / l oxalic acid
  • 5 to 50 g / l hydroxylammonium sulfate
  • 0.3 to 3 g / l of water-soluble polymer and
  • 0.1 to 10 g / l of sodium thiosulfate, optionally fluoride and / or chloride additives, as well as constituents of the treated stainless steel in solution and usual impurities, the rest being water.

Zwar ist es aus der US-A-2 759 862 bekannt ; zwecks Erleichterung der Kaltumformung und vor der Aufbringung von Schmiermittel auf u. a. Edelstahl gemischte Oxalat-/Sulfidüberzüge mit Hilfe von Lösungen zu erzeugen, die Oxalsäure, ein wasserlösliches Sulfat, Borsäure oder ein wasserlösliches Salz hiervon, einen sich in Wasser unter Bildung von S02 und S zersetzenden Schwefel enthaltenden Aktivator, ein Schutzkolloid, Netzmittel, Rest Wasser, enthalten. Als wasserlösliches Sulfat ist jedoch Hydroxylammoniumsulfat, das sich als besonders wirksam erwiesen hat, nicht genannt.It is known from US-A-2,759,862; To facilitate cold forming and prior to the application of lubricants to stainless steel, inter alia, to produce mixed oxalate / sulfide coatings with the aid of solutions containing oxalic acid, a water-soluble sulfate, boric acid or a water-soluble salt thereof, which is in water with the formation of SO 2 and S decomposing sulfur-containing activator, a protective colloid, wetting agent, balance water. However, hydroxylammonium sulfate, which has proven to be particularly effective, is not mentioned as the water-soluble sulfate.

Besonders geeignete wasserlösliche Polymere sind Polyvinylalkohol, Polyvinylpyrrolidon, Polyethylenglykol ; Polyacrylsäure, Kasein, Leim und dergleichen. Polyvinylalkohol und Polyvinylpyrrolidon sind bevorzugt.Particularly suitable water-soluble polymers are polyvinyl alcohol, polyvinyl pyrrolidone, polyethylene glycol; Polyacrylic acid, casein, glue and the like. Polyvinyl alcohol and polyvinyl pyrrolidone are preferred.

Die Konzentrationen der wirksamen Bestandteile der Oxalatierungslösung sind insofern bedeutend, als bezüglich Oxalsäure unterhalb 20 g/l keine ausreichende Reaktion mit dem Edelstahl erfolgt und oberhalb 100 g/I keine weitere Steigerung der Reaktivität erzielbar ist. Hinsichtlich Hydroxylammoniumsulfat erfolgt bei einer Konzentration unterhalb 5 g/l keine ausreichende Auflösung des Oxidfilms von der Edelstahloberfläche, so daß die Überzugsaubildung nur schwer fortschreitet Bei Konzentrationen über 50 g/I tritt praktisch kein zusätzlicher Effekt auf.The concentrations of the active constituents of the oxalation solution are significant in that than with oxalic acid below 20 g / l there is no sufficient reaction with the stainless steel and above 100 g / l no further increase in reactivity can be achieved. With regard to hydroxylammonium sulfate, the oxide film does not dissolve sufficiently from the stainless steel surface at a concentration below 5 g / l, so that the formation of the coating proceeds with difficulty. At concentrations above 50 g / l there is practically no additional effect.

Die Gehalte an wasserlöslichem Polymer führen bei Konzentrationen unterhalb der unteren Grenze zu keiner Verbesserung der Überzugshaftung, bei Konzentrationen an der oberen Grenze ist das Maximum an Haftung erreicht.The contents of water-soluble polymer do not lead to an improvement in the coating adhesion at concentrations below the lower limit, and the maximum adhesion is reached at concentrations at the upper limit.

Bezüglich der Gehalte an Natriumthiosulfat hat sich gezeigt, daß unterhalb 0,1 g/I praktisch keine Kristallkeimbildung auf Edelstahl erfolgt und daß oberhalb 10 g/l starker Geruch von Schwefelverbindungen infolge Zersetzung auftritt, die mit zunehmender Badbenutzung fortschreitet.Regarding the contents of sodium thiosulfate, it has been shown that below 0.1 g / l there is practically no nucleation on stainless steel and that above 10 g / l there is a strong odor of sulfur compounds due to decomposition, which progresses with increasing use of the bath.

Als Schmiermittel zur Aufbringung auf den Oxalatüberzug sind insbesondere Metallseifen geeignet. Bei Einsatz von wäßrigen Lösungen von Natriumseifen werden durch Reaktion mit dem Oxalatüberzug und der Seifenlösung Eisenseifen gebildet. In Wasser dispergierte Kalzium-, Barium-, Zinkseifen und dergl. lassen auf der Werkstückoberfläche Schmiermittelschichten der entsprechenden Seifen entstehen. Im Falle des Kaltziehens ist es zweckmäßig, Metallseifenpulver der vorgenannten Art unmittelbar vor dem Eintritt des Werkstücks in die Matrize aufzubringen.Metal soaps are particularly suitable as lubricants for application to the oxalate coating. When using aqueous solutions of sodium soaps, iron soaps are formed by reaction with the oxalate coating and the soap solution. Calcium, barium, zinc soaps and the like dispersed in water give rise to layers of lubricant of the corresponding soaps on the workpiece surface. In the case of cold drawing, it is expedient to apply metal soap powder of the aforementioned type immediately before the workpiece enters the die.

Gemäß einer bevorzugten Ausgestaltung der Erfindung bringt man den Oxalatüberzug durch Kontakt mit einer Oxalatierungslösung, die eine Temperatur von 70 bis 100 'C, vorzugsweise von 85 bis 95 'C, aufweist, auf.According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the oxalate coating is applied by contact with an oxalating solution which has a temperature of 70 to 100 ° C., preferably 85 to 95 ° C.

Die mit der Konzeption der Erfindung gewonnenen Erkenntnisse deuten darauf hin, daß die in Oxalatierungslösungen üblichen, den Beizangriff bewirkenden Zusätze, wie Fluorid und Chlorid, nicht in der Lage sind, die auf der Edelstahloberfläche stets befindlichen, kompliziert zusammengesetzten Oxidfilme von Chrom, Nickel und Eisen vollständig aufzulösen. Dies ist jedoch die Voraussetzung für die Ausbildung eines einwandfrei haftenden Oxalatüberzuges.The knowledge gained with the design of the invention indicates that the additives which cause pickling, such as fluoride and chloride, which are customary in oxalation solutions, are not able to remove the complex composite oxide films of chromium, nickel and iron which are always present on the stainless steel surface completely dissolve. However, this is the prerequisite for the formation of a perfectly adhering oxalate coating.

Demgegenüber ist jedoch Hydroxylammoniumsulfat in Verbindung mit Oxalsäure imstande, schnell und einfach eine völlige Entfernung des Oxidfilmes zu bewirken und zudem die Ausbildung des Oxalatüberzuges zu beschleunigen. Dies gilt insbesondere auch bei hochkorrosionsfesten Edelstählen, deren Oxidfilm besonders resistent ist und mit Fluorid- oder Chloridzusätzen kaum entfembar ist. Dessen ungeachtet können auch beim erfindungsgemäßen Verfahren Oxalatierungslösungen zum Einsatz kommen, die zusätzlich Fluorid und/oder Chlorid enthalten.In contrast, however, hydroxylammonium sulfate in combination with oxalic acid is able to quickly and easily bring about complete removal of the oxide film and also to accelerate the formation of the oxalate coating. This applies in particular to highly corrosion-resistant stainless steels, whose oxide film is particularly resistant and can hardly be removed with fluoride or chloride additives. Nevertheless, oxalation solutions which additionally contain fluoride and / or chloride can also be used in the process according to the invention.

Das in der Oxalatierungslösung enthaltene wasserlösliche Polymer wird bei der Überzugsbildung in den Oxalatüberzug fest eingebaut, so daß es auch durch Wasserspülung nicht entfernt wird. Infolge des Einbaues wird zudem ein hoher Binde- und Hafteffekt erzielt.The water-soluble polymer contained in the oxalation solution is firmly incorporated into the oxalate coating during the formation of the coating, so that it is not removed even by water rinsing. As a result of the installation, a high binding and adhesive effect is also achieved.

Natriumthiosulfat dient primär der Keimbildung und ist damit insbesondere für die Feinkömigkeit des erzeugten Oxalatüberzuges verantwortlich.Sodium thiosulfate is used primarily for nucleation and is therefore particularly responsible for the fineness of the oxalate coating produced.

Die Erfindung wird anhand der nachfolgenden Beispiele beispielsweise und näher erläutert.The invention is illustrated by the following examples, for example and in more detail.
