Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft die Stabilisierung von sauren Sn (II)-haltigen Elektrolyten, die zum Färben von anodisch erzeugten Oxidschichten auf Aluminium oder Aluminiumlegierungen oder zum Galvanisieren eingesetzt werden.The invention relates to the stabilization of acidic Sn (II) -containing electrolytes which are used for coloring anodically produced oxide layers on aluminum or aluminum alloys or for electroplating.
Sowohl beim Galvanisieren als auch beim Färben von anodisch aufgebrachten Aluminiumoxidschichten auf Aluminium oder Aluminumlegierungen werden in sauren Lösungen Sn(II)-Salze z.B. in Form von Sulfat-, Fluoroborat- oder Chloridlösungen verwendet.Both in electroplating and in the dyeing of anodically applied aluminum oxide layers on aluminum or aluminum alloys, Sn (II) salts are used in acidic solutions, e.g. used in the form of sulfate, fluoroborate or chloride solutions.
Es ist bekannt, dass praktisch nur das saure Sulfatbad einfache Sn(II)-Ionen enthält. Bei allen anderen Elektrolyten ist das Zinn mindestens teilweise komplex gebunden.It is known that practically only the acidic sulfate bath contains simple Sn (II) ions. With all other electrolytes, the tin is at least partially complexly bound.
Eine Schwierigkeit beim Galvanisieren bzw. beim Einfärben von anodisch erzeugten Oxidschichten auf Aluminium oder Aluminiumlegierungen in sauren Lösungen besteht darin, dass das Sn(II) während des Arbeitsprozesses zu Sn(IV) aufoxidiert wird. Durch Zugabe von Substanzen zum Elektrolyten, sogenannten Stabilisatoren, kann die Oxidation mehr oder weniger verhindert werden, d.h. Sn(II) kann mehr oder weniger stabilisiert werden.A difficulty in electroplating or coloring anodically produced oxide layers on aluminum or aluminum alloys in acidic solutions is that the Sn (II) is oxidized to Sn (IV) during the working process. By adding substances to the electrolyte, so-called stabilizers, the oxidation can be more or less prevented, i.e. Sn (II) can be more or less stabilized.
Die Wirksamkeit des Stabilisators ist ausschlaggebend für die Güte der Niederschläge bzw. der Einfärbung der Eloxalschicht. Es ist allgemein bekannt, dass sich bei Anwesenheit beider Ionenarten Sn(II) und Sn(IV) durch unzureichende Stabilisierung des Sn(II) in erheblichen Mengen die Güte der Oberflächenbehandlung verschlechtert. Es ist also danach zu trachten, das Zinn in sauren Lösungen als Sn(II) zu erhalten.The effectiveness of the stabilizer is decisive for the quality of the precipitation or the coloring of the anodized layer. It is generally known that in the presence of both types of ions Sn (II) and Sn (IV) inadequate stabilization of Sn (II) results in significant quantities the surface treatment deteriorated. It is therefore desirable to obtain the tin in acidic solutions as Sn (II).
Bei sauren Elektrolyten sind auch organische aromatische Verbindungen als Stabilisatoren bekannt, die Aminogruppen enthalten z.B. Aminophenol, Dimethylanilin.In the case of acidic electrolytes, organic aromatic compounds are also known as stabilizers which contain amino groups, e.g. Aminophenol, dimethylaniline.
Diese Verbindungen haben einen stabilisierenden Effekt für Sn(II). Sie können es jedoch nicht verhindern, dass ein Teil des Sn(II) zu Sn(IV) oxidiert wird. Dadurch wird besonders die Qualität der Färbung von anodisch erzeugten Oxidschichten auf Aluminium oder Aluminiumlegierungen beeinflusst. Bei unzureichender Stabilisierung von Sn(II) ist die Farbtiefe von dunklen Farbtönen und die Gleichmässigkeit der Färbung oft mangelhaft. Hierin liegt ein wesentlicher Nachteil der bisher verwendeten Stabilisatoren. Ein idealer Stabilisator wäre einer, der die vollständige Stabilisation des Sn(II)-Ions bewirkt. Tatsächlich ist es aber schwierig, beim Färben von anodisch erzeugten Oxidschichten auf Aluminium oder Aluminiumlegierungen Farben wie dunkelbronze oder schwarz bei Verwendung der oben angeführten Zusätze herzustellen. Meist lässt zusätzlich die Streuung des Elektrolyten zu wünschen übrig. Dies macht sich durch hellere und dunkelere Färbung der Randzonen bemerkbar. Mit fortgeschrittener Färbezeit der Eloxalschicht - ab etwa 10 Minuten - treten Ueberfärbungen auf und man erhält einen metallischen Belag auf der Oberfläche, was Reinigungsprobleme der gefärbten Oberfläche, Verunreinigung der Verdichtungsbäder und Korrosionsprobleme nach sich zieht.These compounds have a stabilizing effect for Sn (II). However, you cannot prevent part of the Sn (II) from being oxidized to Sn (IV). This particularly affects the quality of the coloring of anodic oxide layers on aluminum or aluminum alloys. If Sn (II) is not sufficiently stabilized, the depth of color of dark shades and the uniformity of the coloring are often poor. This is a major disadvantage of the stabilizers previously used. An ideal stabilizer would be one that effects full stabilization of the Sn (II) ion. In fact, when coloring anodized oxide layers on aluminum or aluminum alloys, it is difficult to produce colors such as dark bronze or black using the additives mentioned above. Usually the scattering of the electrolyte also leaves something to be desired. This is noticeable by the lighter and darker coloring of the edge zones. With an advanced coloring time of the anodized layer - from about 10 minutes - over-coloring occurs and a metallic coating is obtained on the surface, which results in cleaning problems of the colored surface, contamination of the compression baths and corrosion problems.
Der Erfindung liegt somit die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen sauren Sn(II)-haltigen Elektrolyt zum Färben von anodisch oxidierten Aluminumoxidschichten bzw. zum Galvanisieren zu finden, der Substanzen mit besserem stabilisierenden Effekt von Sn(II) als die bisher bekannten enthält und eine bessere Streuung und damit gekoppelt eine bessere Stromverteilung hat.The invention is therefore based on the object of finding an acidic Sn (II) -containing electrolyte for coloring anodically oxidized aluminum oxide layers or for electroplating, which contains substances with a better stabilizing effect of Sn (II) than those known hitherto and better scattering and coupled with it has a better power distribution.
Erfindungsgemäss wird die gestellte Aufgabe durch einen Elektrolyt gelöst, der sich nach dem Wortlaut des Anspruchs 1 auszeichnet. Weitere vorteilhafte Ausführungsformen der Erfindung sind gekennzeichnet durch die Merkmale der Ansprüche 2 bis 5. Ein weiterer Gegenstand der Erfindung ist die Verwendung gemäss Anspruch 6,1 das Verfahren zum Färben gemäss Ansprüche 7 bis 9 und die gefärbten Aluminiumgegenstände gemäss Anspruch 10.According to the invention, the object is achieved by an electrolyte which is distinguished by the wording of claim 1. Further advantageous embodiments of the invention are characterized by the features of claims 2 to 5. A further object of the invention is the use g emäss Claim 6, 1, the method according to the dyeing claims 7 to 9 and the colored aluminum articles according to claim 10 degrees.
Beim Einsatz von Verbindungen aus der erfindungsgemäss genannten Gruppe in Elektrolysebädern treten überraschenderweise während des Färbeprozesses von anodisch oxidierten Aluminiumschichten Fehler der Ueberfärbung bei fortgeschrittener Färbezeit nicht mehr auf. Der Mangel der oft unvorteilhaften Erhaltung des dunklen Farbtons und die Ungleichmässigkeit der Färbung, die beim Färben der Schichten in Anwesenheit der bisher üblichen und anfangs genannten Stabilisatoren immer wieder auftraten sind durch die erfindungsgemässen Zusätze wesentlich verbessert oder ganz verhindert worden. Die ausgezeichneten Färbeeigenschaften betreffen nicht nur die hellen Farbtöne, sondern ganz besonders auch die dunklen, die gerade bis anhin sehr schwer sowohl bezüglich Farbtiefe als auch Gleichmässigkeit der Färbung zu erreichen waren.When compounds from the group according to the invention are used in electrolysis baths, surprisingly, errors in the over-coloring no longer occur during the dyeing process of anodically oxidized aluminum layers with an advanced dyeing time. The lack of the often disadvantageous preservation of the dark hue and the non-uniformity of the coloration, which repeatedly occurred when the layers were colored in the presence of the previously customary and initially mentioned stabilizers, have been substantially improved or completely prevented by the additives according to the invention. The excellent coloring properties not only hit the light colors, but especially the dark ones, which until now have been very difficult to achieve both in terms of color depth and uniformity of color.
Von besonderer Ueberraschung ist es, dass diese Verbindungen bereits in sehr kleinen Konzentrationen hochwirksam sind. So bewirkt schon ein Zusatz von 20 ppm einen erheblichen Stabilisierungseffekt.It is particularly surprising that these compounds are highly effective even in very small concentrations. Even an addition of 20 ppm has a significant stabilizing effect.
Gesamthaft wurde somit festgestellt, dass die eingangs erwähnten Nachteile der bekannten Stabilisatoren für saure Sn(II)-haltige Elektrolyten zum Färben von anodisch oxidierten Aluminiumschichten oder zum Galvanisieren in den erfindungsgemässen Elektrolyten nicht oder nur in nicht störendem und damit vernachlässigbarem Masse auftraten.Overall, it was found that the aforementioned disadvantages of the known stabilizers for acidic Sn (II) -containing electrolytes for coloring anodically oxidized aluminum layers or for galvanizing did not occur in the electrolytes according to the invention, or only to a non-disturbing and therefore negligible extent.
In der Formel I des Anspruchs 2 sind die Gruppen R1 bis R10 bevorzugt H, -NH2, -COOM oder -S03M und ist R11 bevorzugt Wasserstoff oder eine Gruppe (a), worin n eine Zahl von 1-5 bedeutet.In the formula I of claim 2, the groups R 1 to R 10 are preferably H, -NH 2 , -COOM or -S0 3 M and R 11 is preferably hydrogen or a group (a), in which n is a number from 1-5 means.

- 1-amino-2,4-di (phenylamino) benzene-5-sulfonic acid and diphenylamine-4,4'-disulfonic acid, preferably their mixtures with the diphenylamine-4-sulfonic acid.
Damit die Vorteile des erfindungsgemässen Elektrolyten gegenüber den bisher benutzten vollkommen erkannt werden, müssen alle Faktoren - Stabilisierungswirkung des Sn(II), Streuung / Stromverteilung, Färbewirkung - selbstverständlich gemeinsam beurteilt werden.In order for the advantages of the electrolyte according to the invention to be fully recognized compared to those previously used, all factors - stabilizing effect of Sn (II), scattering / current distribution, coloring effect - must of course be assessed together.
Um hier den hervorragenden Effekt der Stabilisierung und die damit verbundenen besseren Färbeeigenschaften von anodisch erzeugten Oxidschichten auf Aluminium oder Aluminiumlegierungen in sauren Lösungen zu zeigen, werden die folgenden zwei Versuchsreihen und Färbeversuche angeführt. Zweck dieser Vergleichsversuche ist, mit einem Schnelltest unter Begasung mit reinem Sauerstoff die stabilisierende Wirkung der erfindungsgemässen Zusätze zu zeigen.In order to demonstrate the excellent effect of stabilization and the associated better coloring properties of anodically produced oxide layers on aluminum or aluminum alloys in acidic solutions, the following two test series and coloring tests are given. The purpose of these comparative experiments is to show the stabilizing effect of the additives according to the invention using a rapid test with gassing with pure oxygen.
Es wurde ein wässriger Elektrolyt hergestellt, bestehend aus H2S04, 10 g/l, und SnS04, 20 g/l. Unter diesen Bedingungen liegt Zinn anfangs als Sn(II) vor. Der Elektrolyt wurde auf 7 Gefässe von gleicher geometrischer Form aufgeteilt. In jedem Gefäss befand sich 1 Liter Elektrolyt.An aqueous electrolyte was produced, consisting of H 2 S0 4 , 10 g / l, and SnS0 4 , 20 g / l. Under these conditions, tin is initially available as Sn (II). The electrolyte was divided into 7 vessels of the same geometric shape. There was 1 liter of electrolyte in each vessel.
Die anderen Bäder enthielten folgende Zusätze:
- Bad 2: Paraphenolsulfonsäure, 20 g/l, bisher üblicherweise verwendeter Zusatz
- Bad 3: N,N-Dimethylanilin, 100 mg/l, bekannter Zusatz
- Bad 4: Diphenylamin, 100 mg/l
- Bad 5: Diphenylamin-4-sulfonsäure 100 mg/1
- Bad 6: 2-Amino-diphenylamin-4-sulfonsäure 100 mg/l
- Bad 7: 4-Amino-diphenylamin-2-carbonsäure 100 mg/l
- Bath 2: Paraphenolsulfonic acid, 20 g / l, additive previously used
- Bath 3: N, N-dimethylaniline, 100 mg / l, known additive
- Bath 4: diphenylamine, 100 mg / l
- Bath 5: Diphenylamine-4-sulfonic acid 100 mg / 1
- Bath 6: 2-amino-diphenylamine-4-sulfonic acid 100 mg / l
- Bath 7: 4-amino-diphenylamine-2-carboxylic acid 100 mg / l
In allen Bädern war der pH-Wert gleich 1; die Bäder befanden sich auf Raumtemperatur und wurden mit einem Magnetrührer ständig bewegt. Jedes Bad wurde durch eine Glasfritte mit 200 cm3 reinem Sauerstoff pro Minute begast und alle halbe Stunde der Gehalt an Sn(II) analysiert. Die Ergebnisse sind in Figur 1 wiedergegeben (Ordinate: Verlust an SnII in g/L; Abszisse: Zeit in Stunden).In all baths the pH was 1; the baths were at room temperature and were constantly moved with a magnetic stirrer. Each bath was gassed through a glass frit with 200 cm 3 of pure oxygen per minute and the Sn (II) content was analyzed every half hour. The results are shown in FIG. 1 (ordinate: loss of Sn II in g / L; abscissa: time in hours).
Es wurde die gleiche Stammlösung wie in Versuchsreihe 1 hergestellt und ebenfalls in gleiche Gefässe wie bei Versuchsreihe 1 je 1 Liter Elektrolyt gegeben. In allen Bädern war der pH-Wert gleich 1; die Bäder befanden sich auf Raumtemperatur und wurden mit einem Magnetrührer ständig bewegt.The same stock solution as in test series 1 was prepared and likewise placed in the same vessels as in test series 1, 1 liter of electrolyte. In all baths the pH was 1; the baths were at room temperature and were constantly moved with a magnetic stirrer.
Das Bad 8 entsprach dem Bad 1 der Versuchsreihe 1 und enthielt keinen Zusatz. Die folgenden drei Bäder enthielten alle Diphenylamin-4-sulfonsäure und zwar
- Bad 9: 20 mg/l
- Bad 10: 100 mg/l
- Bad 11: 200 mg/l
- Bath 9: 20 mg / l
- Bath 10: 100 mg / l
- Bath 11: 200 mg / l
Bad 10 entspricht somit Bad 5 der Versuchsreihe 1.Bath 10 thus corresponds to bath 5 of test series 1.
Wie auch in Versuchsreihe 1 wurde jedes Bad mit 200 cm3 reinem Sauerstoff pro Minute durch eine Glasfritte begast und alle halbe Stunde der Sn(II)-Gehalt bestimmt. Die Ergebnisse sind in Figur 2 dargestellt(0rdinate: Verlust an SnII in g/L; Abszisse: Zeit in Stunden).As in test series 1, each bath was gassed with 200 cm 3 of pure oxygen per minute through a glass frit and the Sn (II) content was determined every half hour. The results are shown in FIG. 2 (0dinate: loss of Sn II in g / L; abscissa: time in hours).
Aus den Figuren ist ersichtlich, dass ohne Zusatz schon nach relativ kurzer Zeit ein grosser Anteil des Sn(II) in Sn(IV) übergegangen ist. Ferner ist zu sehen, dass der stabilisierende Effekt sowohl von der Zusatzsubstanz als auch von der Zusatzmenge abhängig ist. Trotz viel grösserer zugegebener Menge wirkt der bekannte Zusatz Paraphenolsulfonsäure ebenso wie der bekannte Zusatz N,N-Dimethylanilin wesentlich schlechter als Stabilisator von (SnII) als die verwendeten erfindungsgemässen Zusätze.It can be seen from the figures that without addition, a large proportion of the Sn (II) has changed into Sn (IV) after a relatively short time. It can also be seen that the stabilizing effect is dependent both on the additional substance and on the additional amount. Despite the much larger amount added, the known additive paraphenolsulfonic acid works just like the known additive N, N-dimethylaniline much worse than the stabilizer of (SnII) than the additives used according to the invention.
Mit den Elektrolyten, wie sie in den Versuchsreihen 1 und 2 angegeben sind, die den erfindungsgemäss neuen Zusätzen enthalten, wurden in 60 Liter-Bädern Färbeversuche von anodisch oxidierten Aluminiumschichten durchgeführt. Die Spannung betrug in allen Fällen 15 V, die Behandlungszeit variierte zwischen 1 und 12 Minuten. Die Musterplatten bestanden aus PERALUMAN-100 (halbhart) und hatten die Masse 200 x 300 x 1,5 mm. Sie wurden nach dem normalen Gleichstrom/ H2S04-Verfahren anodisiert. Die Schichtdicke betrug 20 um.With the electrolytes, as stated in test series 1 and 2, which contain the new additives according to the invention, coloring tests of anodically oxidized aluminum layers were carried out in 60 liter baths. The voltage was 15 V in all cases, the treatment time varied between 1 and 12 minutes. The sample panels consisted of PERALUMAN-100 (semi-hard) and had the dimensions 200 x 300 x 1.5 mm. They were anodized using the normal direct current / H 2 S0 4 method. The layer thickness was 20 µm.
In allen Fällen,wo eine erfindungsgemässe stabilisierende Verbindung eingesetzt wurde, wurde eine vollkommene regelmässige Bronzefärbung erzielt, die frei von Randverfärbungen war. Bei den bisher gebräuchlichen Zusätzen treten gerade beim Bronzefarbton häufig Kanteneffekte, bedingt durch schlechte Streuung des Elektrolyten, auf. D.h., bei dem erfindungsgemässen Sn(II)-haltigen Elektrolyten, der die neuen Zusätze enthält, ist die Streuung besser als bei den für diesen Zweck bisher gebrauchten Elektrolyten. Die Folge ist eine bessere Stromverteilung und damit verbunden eine regelmässigere Einfärbung der anodisch oxidierten Schicht.In all cases where a stabilizing compound according to the invention was used, a perfect regular bronze coloration was achieved which was free from edge discoloration. With the additives that have been used up to now, edge effects often occur, particularly in the case of bronze color, due to poor scattering of the electrolyte. That is, with the Sn (II) -containing electrolyte according to the invention, which contains the new additives, the scatter is better than with the electrolytes previously used for this purpose. The result is a better current distribution and associated with this a more regular coloring of the anodized layer.
Als sinnvolle obere Grenze, ohne sich dabei festlegen zu wollen, wurden Mengen von 1 g der erfindungsgemässen Zusätze pro Liter Elektrolyt gefunden; entsprechend als sinnvolle untere Grenze etwa 20 mg. Dabei stört eine MischungAmounts of 1 g of the additives according to the invention per liter of electrolyte were found as a sensible upper limit, without wishing to be determined in the process; accordingly as a reasonable lower limit about 20 mg. A mixture is disturbing
bzw. Kombination der verschiedenen Zusätze nicht. Darüber hinausgehende Zusatzmengen zeigen praktisch keine besondere Wirkung mehr. Als vorteilhaft haben sich Mengen von 20 bis 500 mg/l, vorzugsweise 100 bis 200 mg/l, Elektrolyt erwiesen.or combination of the various additives. Additional amounts beyond this have practically no special effect. Quantities of 20 to 500 mg / l, preferably 100 to 200 mg / l, of electrolyte have proven to be advantageous.
