Description
- This invention relates to a process for treating metal surface, by which corrosion resistance of the metal and adhesion of coating thereto are improved.
- It is known to phosphate a metal surface, and subject the thus formed phosphate film to chromic acid chemical conversion treatment (often called "chromium rinsing") in order to improve the corrosion resistance of the metal and adhesion of coating thereto.
- In the early days, these two treatments were carried out using aqueous treating compositions. Such a process comprising phosphating and chromium rinsing requires a plurality of treating steps and a large space for the equipment, consumes a large amount of energy for evaporating water, and above all, is accompanied by problems of environmental pollution caused by aqueous waste. Therefore, recently, these treatments are mainly carried out using non-aqueous treating compositions. Such a typical process for this is disclosed in Japanese Patent Publication No. 42-3363 (1967). However, as the organic solvent for the compositions for the two treatments, only chlorinated hydrocarbon has been used.
- The respective compositions per se have been improved, and there is known a phosphating treatment composition consisting of 100 parts by weight of a halogenated hydrocarbon solvent (carbon tetrachloride, chloroform, methylene chloride, 1,1,1-trichloroethane, trichloroethylene, perchloroethylene, trichlorotrifluoroethylene, perchloroethylene, trichlorotrifluoroethane, tetrachlorodifluoroethane, dichlorotetrafluoroethane, trifluoromonofluoromethane, etc. or a mixture thereof), 0.05-5 parts by weight of phosphoric acid compound such as orthophosphoric acid, pyrophosphoric acid, polyphosphoric acid such as triphosphoric acid, a salt thereof, an acidic metal salt of phosphoric acid, an acidic alkyl ester of phosphoric acid, or a mixture thereof), 1-75 parts by weight of an alcohol solubilizer having 1-10 carbon atoms such as methanol, ethanol, isopropyl alcohol, n-propanol, n-butanol, sec-butanol, t-butanol, etc. and 0.01-2 parts by weight of a nitrogen-containing organic compound reaction promoter, urea, pyridine, thiourea, dimethylisobutylenamine, ethylenediamine tetraacetate, dinitrotoluene, etc. This phosphating composition may contain a small amount of a quinone, an aromatic compound having a nitroso or azo functional group or a zinc compound such as zinc phosphate, zinc fluoride, zinc oxide, a fatty acid salt of zinc, etc. as a stabilizer for halogenated hydrocarbon solvent. The phosphating composition may further contain 0.5-15 parts by weight of aprotic polar organic compound such as N,N-dimethylformamide, dimethylsulfoxide, acetonitrile, acetone, nitromethane, nitrobenzene and tetramethylenesulfone. The phosphating composition may still further contain not less than 0.4 part by weight and not more than 5 parts by weight of water (in an amount that maintains a homogeneous phase). Water acts as a reaction promoter. (Japanese Patent Publication Nos. 57-49111, 56-31878, etc.)
- Japanese Laying-Open Patent Publication No. 61-34184 of the applicant of the present application discloses a metal-surface-treating solution consisting of 100 parts by weight of a chlorofluorinated hydrocarbon organic solvent (typically, trichlorotrifluoroethane, tetrachlorodifluoroethane, tetrachlorodifluoroethane, dichlorotetrafluoroethane, trichloromonofluoromethane, etc. or a mixture thereof), 0.01-10 part by weight of chromic acid anhydride, 0.001-0.1 part by weight of an organic acid having 1-20 carbon atoms (typically, formic acid, acetic acid, lactic acid, stearic acid, oxalic acid, fumaric acid, naleic acid, malic acid, etc.) and 1-20 parts by weight of an alcohol solubilizer having 3-20 carbon atoms (typically isopropyl alcohol, tert-butanol, tert-amyl alcohol, triphenyl carbinol, etc. or a mixture thereof). In this case, an organic acid reaction promoter can be dispensed with.
- Up to today, however, in the combination of the phosphating treatment and the chromic acid chemical conversion treatment, there has been no case wherein a chromic acid chemical conversion treatment composition using a fluorochlorinated hydrocarbon as a solvent is used.
- We have found that in the combination of the phosphating treatment and the chromic acid chemical conversion treatment, if at least the chromic acid chemical conversion treatment is carried out using a chromic acid chemical conversion treatment solution in which a fluorochlorinated hydrocarbon is used as the solvent, the treated metal surface exhibits excellent adhesion property to coatings (paints).
- This invention provides a process for treating metal surface comprising subjecting a metal surface to phosphating treatment and subjecting the phosphated surface to chromic acid chemical conversion treatment, said process being characterized in that the phosphating treatment is carried out using a non-aqueous phosphating treatment solution in which a chlorinated or chlorofluorinated hydrocarbon is used as the solvent and the chromic acid chemical conversion treatment is carried out using a non-aqueous chromic acid chemical conversion treatment solution in which a chlorofluorinated hydrocarbon is used as the solvent.
- In the process of the present invention, the phosphating treatment composition per se is known as stated above.
- In the process of the present invention, the chromic acid chemical conversion composition per se is also known as stated above.
- The process of the present invention is applicable to all the metals to which the known phosphating treatment and chromic acid chemical conversion treatment are applicable, that is, iron and steel, zinc, aluminum, tin and alloys thereof.
- Now the invention will be described in detail by way of working examples and comparative examples. It should be understood that the invention is not limited to these working examples only.
- A phosphating treatment solution consisting of 100 parts by weight (hereinafter referred to simply as parts) trichlorotrifluoroethane, 22 parts methanol and 0.6 part orthophosphoric acid and 4 parts N,N-dimethylformamide was kept at the boiling temperature thereof. Test panels (70 x150 x 0.8 mm cold-rolled steel sheets) which had been degreased and cleansed beforehand were immersed in the boiling solution for 1 minute, were thereafter washed with the vapor in the vapor zone above the treating solution, and then were dried in the vapor-free space above the vapor zone. (Phosphating treatment)
- Then, a chromic acid chemical conversion treatment solution consisting of 100 parts trichlorotrifluoroethane, 5 parts t-amyl alcohol, and 1 part chromic acid anhydride was kept at the boiling temperature thereof, and the test panels which had been phosphated as described above were immersed in the boiling treating solution for 15 seconds, and then were dried in the vapor-free space. (Chromic acid chemical conversion treatment)
- The thus treated panels were coated with an epoxy resin powder paint ("Konac No. 3500" manufactured by Nippon Oil and Fats Company, Ltd.) or an acrylic resin powder paint ("Konac No. 4500" manufactured by Nippon Oil and Fats Company, Ltd.) by the electrostatic painting process, and the thus painted panels were baked at 180°C for 20 minutes.
- The adhesion of the paint was tested by scoring some of the painted panels in a grid pattern at intervals of 1 mm reaching the substrate, forming 100 small squares by means of a knife edge, applying a cellophane adhesive tape 20 mm in width (manufactured by Nichiban Co.) onto the scored surface and peeling off the tape quickly at an angle of 45°. The number of the remaining squares of the coating (paint) was counted and the adhesion of the coating film before the corrosion test (named primary adhesion) was evaluated.
- Other coated (painted) panels were scored in an X pattern (called cross cutting), and the panels were subjected to the salt spray test to investigate the corrosion resistance performance of the coating.
- Occurrence of blisters at the cross-cutting was observed (the width of blisters formed along the cutting (score) was measured), and the adhesion of the coating film after the corrosion test (called "secondary adhesion") was measured by the cellophane adhesive tape test. (Width of the peeled-off zone of the coating was measured and the number of the remaining squares was counted.)
- The results are indicated in Table 1 together with the results of Example 1a, Comparative Example 1 and Comparative Example 1a described hereinafter.
- Example 1 was repeated using the same chromic acid chemical conversion treatment composition which had been continuously used for 12 months.
