Definitions

  • a disadvantage of using these known solutions is that when the treatment systems are at a standstill, the tin content in the solution drops, so that conversion coatings of inferior quality are produced when the system is restarted, unless an additional addition of tin to the treatment solution is carried out beforehand.
  • a method for cathodic deposition of a phosphate coating on stainless steels in which a phosphating solution is used which contains a chelating agent, such as condensed phosphates.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a process for applying conversion coatings on tinplate which does not have the disadvantages of the known processes and which, with small tin deposits, leads to conversion coatings with excellent corrosion resistance and precludes a decrease in the tin concentration in the treatment solution when the treatment systems are at a standstill.
  • the complexing agent content suppressed the tin precipitation from the treatment solution, but at the same time its deposition on the workpiece surface when the Conversion overlay is not prevented.
  • the complexing agent also accelerates the pickling attack on the metal surface and is responsible for a balance between the tin which dissolves (as a result of the pickling attack) and the tin which deposits as a coating component. This largely avoids fluctuations in the tin concentration in the treatment solution, which ultimately has a favorable effect on the quality, in particular the high corrosion resistance of the conversion coating.
  • the phosphate can be introduced as an alkali phosphate, such as sodium, potassium or ammonium monohydrogen phosphate or dihydrogen phosphate. It can also be formed from phosphoric acid and sodium, potassium or ammonium hydroxide. Solutions with phosphate concentrations outside the range of 1 to 50 g / l are unable to produce conversion coatings with the desired excellent properties. Concentrations within the range of 2 to 25 g / l lead to particularly high-quality conversion coatings.
  • the chlorides and / or sulfates of divalent or tetravalent tin can be used in particular as the source of tin ions.
  • Sodium stannate is also suitable.
  • the range from 0.01 to 5 g / l applies to tin II or tin IV ions, or to the sum of tin II and tin IV ions.
  • Concentrations below 0.01 g / l reduce the corrosion resistance of the conversion coatings produced.
  • concentrations above 5 g / l there is a risk that the treatment solution will become unstable. An additional improvement in the coating quality is also not achieved.
  • Complexing agents are sodium, potassium or ammonium pyrophosphate, tripolyphosphate or tetrapolyphosphate. At concentrations below 0.01 g / l, the complexing effect of the condensed phosphates is no longer sufficiently pronounced, i.e. the ability to prevent tin precipitation is waning. With concentrations above 5 g / l, an excessive pickling attack on the metal surface can be associated, in particular, the deposition of the tin in the conversion coating can be hindered.
  • phosphoric acid hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid or sodium, potassium or ammonium hydroxide is expediently used.
  • the pH range to be set from 2 to 6 is important insofar as the corrosion resistance of the conversion coating formed becomes low at a pH value below 2 and the tendency at a pH value above 6 that tin ions precipitate out of the solution and therefore proper coating formation is no longer guaranteed.
  • the conversion coating is formed electrochemically.
  • This embodiment is particularly advantageous for the treatment of strip material made of tinplate.
  • the corrosion resistance of the conversion coating formed is particularly high.
  • the tinplate is switched as the anode against graphite, stainless steel and the like as the cathode, an electrode spacing of approximately 10 to 500 mm and a current density of approximately 0.1 A / dm 2 are set for a period of 0.5 to 60 s. Direct or alternating current can be used.
  • the conversion coating is produced in two stages, first chemically, then electrochemically. This will increase the corrosion resistance again achieved.
  • Tin-II or tin-IV and phosphate are the essential constituents forming the conversion coating.
  • the layer formation begins with the pickling attack of the acidic solution on the metal surface. It is intensified by the action of the accelerators, especially the oxo acids.
  • the complexing agent controls the tin deposition by forming a chelate complex with tin, which would otherwise easily precipitate out of the treatment solution, and provides the tin ions required for coating formation in a controlled manner.
  • Another role of the complexing agent is to bind the metal ions released from the metal surface by the pickling attack and to make them available again in a controlled manner for coating formation.
  • the complexing agent is responsible for uniform coating formation by influencing the pickling attack.
  • the coatings also have excellent properties as the basis for subsequent painting, printing and the like in terms of corrosion resistance, adhesion and gloss.
  • the treatment solution experiences practically no reduction in the tin content even after long downtimes, so that the process can then be resumed immediately and perfect conversion coatings are immediately obtained.
  • Cans made from tinplate were cleaned in a mildly alkaline cleaner with a concentration of 1% by weight in water. The coating was then sprayed for 20 s using the solutions listed below. After a water rinse, deionized water of a quality of at least 300,000 ohm ⁇ cm was sprayed for a period of 10 s and then dried in a hot air oven at 200 ° C. within 3 minutes. The conversion coating was applied in each case with a freshly prepared coating solution and one which had stood for one day for 10 cans per liter of solution.
  • H3PO4 (75% by weight) 15 g / l (PO4 11 g / l) NaClO3 6 g / l SnCl4 ⁇ 5H2O 0.6 g / l (Sn 0.2 g / l) Na4P2O7 ⁇ 10H2O 1.5 g / l (P2O7 0.6 g / l) pH 3.1 adjusted with sodium hydroxide solution
  • Tinplate cans were treated according to the procedure described in Example 1 with the following solution: H3PO4 (75% by weight) 2.8 g / l (PO4 2 g / l) NaClO3 0.3 g / l SnCl2 ⁇ 2H2O 0.04 g / l (Sn 0.02 g / l) Na4P2O7 ⁇ 10H2O 0.05 g / l (P2O7 0.02 g / l) pH 5.7 adjusted with sodium hydroxide solution Treatment temperature 70 ° C
  • tinplate cans were treated with the following solution: H3PO4 (75% by weight) 55 g / l (PO4 40 g / l) NaBrO3 17 g / l SnCl4 ⁇ 5H2O 13.2 g / l (Sn 4.5 g / l) Na5P3O10 6.5 g / l (P3O10 4.5 g / l) pH 2.2 adjusted with sodium hydroxide solution Treatment temperature 60 ° C
  • tinplate cans were treated with the following solution: H3PO4 (75% by weight) 15 g / l (PO4 11 g / l) NaClO3 6 g / l SnCl4 ⁇ 5H2O 0.6 g / l (Sn 0.2 g / l) Na4P2O7 ⁇ 10H2O 21 g / l (P2O7 8 g / l) pH 3.1 adjusted with sodium hydroxide solution Treatment temperature 60 ° C
  • the tin content was determined after the batch and after standing for one day.
  • the tinplate cans provided with conversion coatings were subjected to the corrosion test and the paint adhesion test.
  • the treated cans were immersed in tap water at 60 ° C. for 30 minutes and the rust development was assessed.
  • an epoxy / urea paint with a thickness of 5 to 7 ⁇ m was applied to the cans provided with the conversion coatings and baked at 210 ° C. (duration 10 minutes). After standing for 24 hours, the cans were immersed in a 1% by weight aqueous citric acid solution at 95 to 97 ° C and left therein for 60 minutes. It was then rinsed with water and dried.
  • the samples were provided with a cross cut reaching to the metal surface and then with cellophane adhesive tape by pressing firmly. After the adhesive tape was torn off, it was found that the paint adhesion was consistently excellent, i.e. no paint detachment was found.
