Definitions

  • This invention relates to a novel process for cleaning and deoxidizing aluminum prior to conversion treatment.
  • the process is based on an acid or alkaline cleaning system and a chromate-free deoxidizer system.
  • chromated deoxidizers have been used to enable aluminum samples to pass designated corrosion tests, as for example, MIL-C-5541C.
  • the aluminum is first-cleaned in a relatively non-etching alkaline soak cleaner, deoxidized in an acidic chromate solution and subsequently chromated.
  • an alkaline etch or alkaline chemical milling solution was used. This step was followed by a deoxidation step which usually employed a chromated deoxidizer, to remove "smut" produced by etching.
  • the aluminum was then chromated.
  • attempts to replace chromate in the deoxidizing step have generally involved the use of iron salts such as ferric sulfate.
  • iron based deoxidizers have never provided results equal to the chromate containing deoxidizer systems.
  • U.S. Patent 4,451,304 to Batiuk provides a treatment for aluminum which employs an alkaline cleaning step and a deoxidizer step.
  • the deoxidizer step employs a non-chromate deoxidizer which is an aqueous solution of sodium or potassium nitrite.
  • This patent includes a detailed discussion of the prior art in this area.
  • US-A-4 459 216 discloses an aqueous acidic dissolving solution for metals: e.g. aluminum and aluminum alloys comprising hydrogen peroxide, an inorganic acid, and at least one aromatic compound, said solution can be used at a temperature of from 10 to 80°C and for a treating time of from 5 sec. to 15 min.
  • metals e.g. aluminum and aluminum alloys comprising hydrogen peroxide, an inorganic acid, and at least one aromatic compound
  • GB-A-2 186 292 describes a process for cleaning aluminum surfaces employing:
  • GB-A-2100 757 is related to a fluoride-free, low-temperature solution for cleaning aluminum comprising sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid and surfactants.
  • the present invention is advantageous in that it eliminates the use of hexavalent chromium in the cleaning and deoxidizing step and further provides enhanced performance over previously disclosed non-chromium processes for the cleaning and deoxidizing of aluminum prior to chemical conversion treatments.
  • aluminum is cleaned in an aqueous acidic or alkaline solution.
  • the preferred acidulants are acids such as sulfuric acid, mitric acid, hydrofluoric acid, phosphoric acid, citric acid, oxalic acid, acetic acid, gluconic acid, hydroxyacetic acid and the like or mixtures of two or more such acids.
  • the acidic solution is a dilute solution which provides low etching.
  • the alkaline cleaning solutions useful in the present invention generally contain alkali metal hydroxides or other water soluble alkaline materials such as trisodium phosphate, alkali silicates, tetrasodium pyrophosphate and the like.
  • the etchants can also comprise acidic solutions of fluoride compositions such as hydrogen fluoride and fluoride salts, fluoride complexes and the like, such as ammonium bifluoride, fluorosilicic acid, fluorophosphonic acid, its salts, and the like.
  • fluoride compositions such as hydrogen fluoride and fluoride salts, fluoride complexes and the like, such as ammonium bifluoride, fluorosilicic acid, fluorophosphonic acid, its salts, and the like.
  • the aluminum is then immersed in an aqueous acidic deoxidizer solution containing at least one of the following deoxidizer compositions hydrogen peroxide or heteropoly vanadic acids or its salts.
  • the aluminum can be rinsed before contact with the deoxidizer solution. The use of a rinse is preferred.
  • the aluminum article can be cleaned and deoxidized in a single step by including a deoxidizer compound such as hydrogen peroxide in the acid cleaning solution.
  • a deoxidizer compound such as hydrogen peroxide
  • the term "aluminum" used in connection with the substrate metal to be treated includes aluminum metal per se and also those aluminum alloys which are generally subjected to a cleaning and deoxidizing treatment prior to chromating or other chemical or electrochemical conversion treatment.
  • impurity metals are copper, manganese, nickel, zinc, titanium, vanadium, sodium and gallium.
  • Aluminum alloys generally contain larger amounts of other metals.
  • Such alloying metals include silicon, chromium, lead, iron, copper, magnesium, manganese, and zinc.
  • Such metals in the form of ions as well as aluminum ions invariably are present in the deoxidizer solutions by virtue of the action of such solutions on the metal and smut. It is one aspect of the present invention that the deoxidizer solutions containing stabilizers can continue to function in the presence of such other metal ions, particularly iron, copper and manganese.
  • the multivalent metal ions tend to catalyze the decomposition of the hydrogen peroxide component. This is especially true with copper and manganese.
  • the aluminum substrate is subjected to cleaning and/or etching preferably with a dilute aqueous acidic solution at a pH of less than 2.
  • the pH is below 2 and most preferably below 1.5.
  • the cleaning solutions generally contain from 0.005% to 5% by volume or 10% by weight of the acids but can contain up to 50% by weight, and preferably from 0.2 to 8% by weight and more preferably from 0.4% to 2.5% by volume. It is also preferred to employ a mixture of acids such as sulfuric acid and hydrofluoric acid.
  • suitable surfactants can be included in the cleaning solutions. They can be used in amounts of from 0% to 5% by weight, and preferably up to 2% and most preferably up to 0.5% by weight. Any suitable surfactants which are compatible with the cleaning solution and do not leave an undesirable film on the aluminum's surface can be used. Such surfactants include the cationic, anionic, amphoteric and nonionic surfactants.
  • the cleaning and/or etching step can be done in an alkaline cleaner etching solution.
  • alkaline cleaning solutions which contain alkali metal hydroxide, alkali metal carbonate, trialkali metal phosphate (such as trisodium phosphate) tetralkali metal pyrophosphate (tetrasodium pyrophosphate) alkali metal silicates, alone or in combination can also be used in the cleaning step of the present invention.
  • Alkaline cleaning compositious such as Ridoline® 53, P3 Almeco® 18 and Ridoline® 322 can be used in the cleaning step.
  • an acid cleaning-etching step can be combined with the deoxidizer step by including hydrogen peroxide and a hydrogen peroxide stabilizer with an acid cleaning solution.
  • the combined cleaning and deoxidizing steps can be carried out at a temperature of from ambient to 76,6°C (170°F) and preferably from 32,2°C (90°F) to 65,5°C (150°F).
  • the pH of the solution is preferably below 3 and more preferably below 1.5 and most preferably below 0.5.
  • the cleaning-etching step can be conducted in a short period of time with substantially little etching or can be continued for a longer period of time if a deeply etched surface is desired.
  • the cleaning-etching step can be conducted at ambient temperatures but it is preferred to conduct the cleaning step at elevated solution temperatures. Higher temperatures increase the rate of cleaning and/or etching action of the cleaner solution and a certain degree of care must be exercised to ensure that the desired degree of cleaning or etch is obtained.
  • the temperature of the cleaning/etching solution is preferably from 32,2°C (90°F) to 79,4°C (175°F) and most preferably from 37,7°C (100°F) to 65,5°C (150°F).
  • the deoxidizer bath be acidic and preferably be below a pH of 4, and more preferably at or below 2.
  • the heteroploy ions can be added to the bath as such or can be generated in situ from their components.
  • the deoxidizer comprises from 0.1 gram/liter to the solubility limit of the material and an acid to form a composition having a pH below 3.
  • mineral acids are used and nitric acid is preferred.
  • the solutions contain from 0.03 to 30% by weight hydrogen peroxide and it is further preferred that one or more stabilizers for hydrogen peroxide also be employed in the solution.
  • the pH is also preferable to adjust the pH to 3 or less and preferably with nitric acid.
  • the pH is preferably not greater than 1.5 and most preferably 0.5 or below.
  • the deoxidizer solution is preferably maintained at a temperature from ambient to 65,5°C (150°F) depending on the time the aluminum article is in contact with the solution.
  • the aluminum article preferably is in contact with the deoxidizer solution from 1 to 25 minutes.
  • the contact time is generally shorter at higher temperatures.
  • Stabilizers for peroxides are well known and are exemplified in U.S. Patent 4,059,678.
  • Other suitable stabilizers for hydrogen peroxide are well known in the art and any of these can be conveniently used provided they are compatible with acidic solutions.
  • a preferred group of stabilizers is disclosed in U.S. Patent Application Serial No. 07/221,063 filed on July 19, 1988, in the name of Mark McMillen and entitled "Stabilization of Peroxide Solutions corresponding to EP 0351 772 A1.
  • the treated aluminum substrate is then chromated by chromating treatments for aluminum, which are well known in the art. Chromating with chromating compositions such Alodine® 1200S or Alodine® 600 product of Parker + Amchem a division of Henkel Corporation are useful.
