Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for applying conversion coatings on metal surfaces made of aluminum, zinc and their alloys with the aid of solutions containing alkaline ChromVI and ChromIII.
- the concentration of the hexavalent chromium is approximately 13 g / l (expressed as CrO3), but the concentration of the dissolved trivalent chromium is extremely low, approximately in the order of 1 ppm, even if the solution is saturated with chromium III oxide. The reason is the very low solubility of the trivalent chromium at high pH values of the solution.
- the relatively thick conversion coating obtained by this process consists essentially of aluminum and chromium III oxide.
- the aforementioned method has numerous disadvantages.
- the appearance of the conversion coating formed is very different, for example stained or marbled green and / or brown.
- the treatment requires a diving time of about 5 minutes at a temperature of 90 to 100 ° C.
- the high content of hexavalent chromium in the solution requires extensive treatment of the waste water.
- GB-PS 899 599 provides for essentially colorless chromate coatings on surfaces of zinc or conventional zinc alloys by treatment with a strongly acidic (pH 0.2 to 2.8) solution containing hexavalent chromium and trivalent chromium produce.
- concentration of the hexavalent chromium is around 10 g / l (calculated as chromium VI oxide) and is therefore also complex with regard to the required wastewater treatment.
- the strongly acidic reaction of the chromating solution also makes the solution very aggressive, so that material suitable for plant construction is only available to a limited extent.
- this method cannot be used satisfactorily for the treatment of aluminum, since acidic solutions tend to be somewhat ineffective on aluminum if they do not contain fluoride.
- the use of solutions containing acid fluoride in turn leads to unsatisfactory results in the treatment of zinc.
- GB-PS 1 042 108 describes a method for the treatment of zinc and conventional zinc alloys, in which the zinc surfaces are treated with a chromium VI-free aqueous alkaline solution, the pH of which is above 11 and which is one of the Group 1 of the periodic system contains different metal, brought into contact.
- the majority of the examples show the use of metals such as iron, cobalt or magnesium, whereas trivalent chromium is not mentioned as a suitable metal.
- the use of hexavalent chromium is expressly excluded, since it allegedly affects the formation of the desired conversion coating.
- DE-A1-37 11 095 is a method for producing conversion coatings on Zn or Zn alloy surfaces by means of aqueous solutions, the Cr (III) ions and ions of at least two other multivalent metals, preferably Fe (III) ions, and Contains Co and / or Ni ions and complexing agents and whose pH is greater than 11, known.
- the object of the invention is to provide a method which allows the treatment of pure aluminum, pure zinc, but also of alloys of zinc or aluminum with other metals, but in particular the treatment of zinc / aluminum alloys using the same solutions.
- 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 metal surfaces are brought into contact with a solution which, owing to the addition of a Complexing agent for ChromIII contains at least 20 ppm dissolved ChromIII.
- the complexing agent can be used to adjust the concentrations of the chromium III to such considerably higher values.
- the hexavalent chromium can be introduced into the treatment solutions in the form of suitable soluble chromates, preferably as alkali chromates. If the concentration of hexavalent chromium is too low, the required conversion coating does not take place, so that the protection achieved is inadequate. If the concentrations are too high, there is a tendency to passivate the metal surfaces instead of forming a conversion coating formed by reaction.
- the metal surfaces are brought into contact with a solution which contains 8 to 75 ppm of ChromVI. It is particularly advantageous to bring the metal surfaces into contact with a solution that contains 15 to 60 ppm ChromVI.
- the trivalent chromium can be added as any suitable soluble chromium compound, especially as a chromium salt.
- the conversion coating produced by the process according to the invention is usually rinsed with water, it is desirable to use a salt with an anion which does not cause any corrosion problems.
- a further advantageous embodiment of the invention therefore provides for the metal surfaces to be brought into contact with a solution in which the chromium III is introduced as nitrate, sulfate, phosphate and / or acetate.
- Halides, especially chlorides should preferably not be used.
- chromium III carbonate can also be used, but this requires the presence of an initially acidic solution, which is then made alkaline by adding alkali.
- Another way of achieving the required chromium III content in the solution is to produce it by reducing the excess hexavalent chromium which has previously been introduced.
- the reduction required for this usually takes place in an acidic medium, so that alkali must subsequently be added.
- the reduction can, for example, be brought about by introducing organic reducing agents into the solution in a manner known per se.
- the concentration of trivalent chromium is below 30 ppm, the conversion coating can be formed relatively slowly. Accordingly, an advantageous development of the invention provides for the metal surfaces to be brought into contact with a solution which contains at least 30 ppm, preferably even at least 50 ppm, of chromium III. It is particularly advantageous to adjust the concentration of trivalent chromium to a maximum of 700 ppm, preferably to 100 to 500 ppm. At concentrations above 700 ppm, no further advantages are usually achieved.
- the pH of the solution should be above 12, otherwise the process takes place with too slow a coating formation.
- the setting of a pH value of at least 12.5 is particularly advantageous.
- the pH value is usually determined by a suitable one which does not impair the formation of the coating Alkali made.
- the use of sodium silicate should be avoided, since a sodium silicate content tends to passivate individual surfaces, particularly those made of aluminum.
- Sodium carbonate can be used, but the required pH cannot be achieved with it, so that additional pH adjustment with alkali hydroxide is required. It is therefore most expedient to use alkali hydroxide, in particular sodium and / or potassium hydroxide, for the entire pH adjustment.
- the amount of the hydroxides is generally at least 10 g / l, but is below 80 g / l. If the concentration is too high, there is a risk that the solution will vigorously etch the zinc and aluminum surface and fail to provide the desired coating.
- any compound capable of keeping the required amounts of trivalent chromate in solution can be used as the complexing agent.
- the metal surfaces are brought into contact with a solution which is used as a complexing agent for chromium III hydroxycarboxylic acid, in particular gluconic acid and / or hexahydroxy heptanoic acid, such as glucoheptanoic acid, or but contains as a complexing agent for ChromIII aminocarboxylic acid, in particular nitrilotriacetic acid and / or ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid.
- Citric acid is suitable as the hydroxy carboxylic acid, albeit less advantageously.
- the aforementioned acids can also be introduced into the solution in the form of their sodium salts.
- aminocarboxylic acid especially in combination with hydroxycarboxylic acid, has the advantage that the effectiveness of the method is increased by a more uniform pickling attack on the metal surface and the formation of a particularly uniform conversion coating.
- the metal surfaces are brought into contact with a solution which contains the hydroxycarboxylic acid in an amount of 0.2 to 10 g / l or the aminocarboxylic acid in an amount of 0.5 to 10 g / l .
- the aforementioned quantities refer to the neutral sodium salts.
- the solution required to carry out the method according to the invention can be prepared by dissolving the individual constituents in water while adjusting the concentrations required in each case.
- the alkali required for pH adjustment can be added separately or already contained in the batch concentrate.
- Suitable concentrates usually have a solids content of 15 to 40% by weight, in particular 25 to 35% by weight. They contain the effective solution components in the ratio in which they are also contained in the working solution. This makes it possible to prepare the working solution by simply diluting it with the appropriate amount of water.
- the method according to the invention can be applied in any known manner, the treatment of the metal surfaces in spraying or immersion is preferred.
- the treatment time can be very short, for example 5 to 15 s, but longer treatment times, for example up to 1 minute, are also possible. The latter applies in particular when the concentration of trivalent chromium and / or the treatment temperatures are comparatively low.
- the temperature of the solution to be brought into contact with the metal surface is normally below 70 ° C, generally in the range of 40 to 60 ° C.
- the workpieces to be treated are generally at a temperature of 30 to 50 ° C, usually at about 40 ° C before treatment.
- the conversion coating formed by the process according to the invention is generally rinsed with water, generally by spraying. Furthermore, it is advantageous to carry out a passivation rinse with a chromate solution, preferably as described in GB-PS 1 084 478, following the application of the conversion coating. This is followed by drying.
- the conversion coatings produced with the method according to the invention have good corrosion resistance. You can stay without further post-treatment, but in general it is common to apply a varnish afterwards, which can be both colorless and colored.
- the method according to the invention is advantageously applicable to the treatment of zinc, aluminum and their alloys with other metals or with one another.
- the invention is particularly advantageous if the intention is to treat different metal surfaces simultaneously or subsequently.
- hot-dip galvanized or hot-dip galvanized steel strip can be treated without having to change the nature of the solution.
- the aforementioned solution was sprayed on at 50 ° C. for 15 seconds onto steel strip which was hot-dip galvanized or hot-dip coated with a zinc / aluminum alloy.
- the alloy consisted of 5% by weight aluminum and 95% by weight zinc. Following the conversion treatment, it was rinsed with water in a syringe and dried. An epoxy primer and a top coat made of a silicone-modified polyester were then applied.
- the steel strip treated in this way was treated in the salt spray test in accordance with ASTM-B 117 for a period of 1500 h. The subsequent evaluation showed that, based on the cross-cut, the paint had infiltrated ⁇ 1 mm.
- a concentrate was made that contains, manufactured.
- a working solution can be prepared from the aforementioned concentrate by dilution with water in a ratio of 1:10.
