Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zur Phosphatierung von Metalloberflächen, insbesondere ein Verfahren zur Herstellung von mangan- und magnesiumhaltigen Zinkphosphatüberzügen auf Stahl, Zink, Aluminium und/oder deren Legierungen. Diese mangan- und magnesiumhaltigen Zinkphosphatschichten werden durch Spritzen, Spritztauchen und Tauchen mit wäßrigen Lösungen aufgebracht.The present invention relates to a method for phosphating metal surfaces, in particular a method for producing zinc phosphate coatings containing manganese and magnesium on steel, zinc, aluminum and / or their alloys. These zinc phosphate layers containing manganese and magnesium are applied by spraying, splash-dipping and dipping with aqueous solutions.

Verfahren zum Phosphatieren von Oberflächen aus Eisen, Stahl, Zink und deren Legierungen sowie Aluminium sind seit langem Stand der Technik (Ullmanns Encyklopädie der technischen Chemie, 4. Auflage, Band 15, Seiten 686 und 687). Das Phosphatieren der genannten Oberflächen dient zur Erhöhung der Haftfestigkeit von Lackschichten und zur Verbesserung des Korrosionsschutzes.Processes for phosphating surfaces made of iron, steel, zinc and their alloys as well as aluminum have long been state of the art (Ullmanns Encyklopadie der Technische Chemie, 4th edition, volume 15, pages 686 and 687). The phosphating of the surfaces mentioned serves to increase the adhesive strength of paint layers and to improve corrosion protection.

Die größte Bedeutung als Phosphatierverfahren besitzen saure Zink- und Alkaliphosphatlösungen. Zinkphosphatierbäder können beispielsweise Monozinkphosphat, freie Phosphorsäure, Zinknitrat und Oxidationsmittel als Hauptkomponenten enthalten. Der pH-Wert solcher Lösungen liegt üblicherweise im Bereich zwischen 2,8 und 3,4. Der Verfahrensablauf besteht aus im wesentlichen zwei Reaktionen: der Beizreaktion und der Bildung einer Zinkphosphatschicht auf der zu phosphatierenden Oberfläche.Acidic zinc and alkali phosphate solutions are of the greatest importance as phosphating processes. Zinc phosphating baths can contain, for example, monozinc phosphate, free phosphoric acid, zinc nitrate and oxidizing agents as main components. The pH of such solutions is usually in the range between 2.8 and 3.4. The process consists essentially of two reactions: the pickling reaction and the formation of a zinc phosphate layer on the surface to be phosphated.

Aus W.A. Roland und K.-H. Gottwald, "Metalloberfläche", 42. Jahrgang 1988/6 sind manganmodifizierte Zinkphosphatüberzüge als Haftungsgrund für moderne Lackierungen bekannt. Hier wird ausgeführt, daß der Einsatz von Manganionen neben Zink- und Nickelionen in Niedrig-Zink-Phosphatierverfahren den Korrosionsschutz nachweislich verbessert, insbesondere bei der Verwendung oberflächenveredelter Feinbleche. Der Einbau von Mangan in die Zinkphosphatüberzüge führt zu kleineren und kompakteren Kristallen mit erhöhter Alkalistabilität. Gleichzeitig wird die Arbeitsbreite von Phosphatierbädern erhöht; auch Aluminium kann im Verbund mit Stahl und elektrolytisch- oder schmelztauchverzinktem Stahl schichtbildend phosphatiert werden, wobei der allgemein erreichte Qualitätsstandard gewährleistet ist.From WA Roland and K.-H. Gottwald, "Metallfläche", 42nd year 1988/6, manganese-modified zinc phosphate coatings are known as a basis of liability for modern coatings. Here it is stated that the use of manganese ions in addition to zinc and nickel ions in Low-zinc phosphating processes have been proven to improve corrosion protection, especially when using surface-coated thin sheets. The incorporation of manganese into the zinc phosphate coatings leads to smaller and more compact crystals with increased stability to alkali. At the same time, the working range of phosphating baths is increased; Aluminum can also be phosphated in combination with steel and electrolytically or hot-dip galvanized steel, whereby the generally achieved quality standard is guaranteed.

Aus EP-A-0 261 704 ist ein Verfahren zum Erzeugen von Phosphatüberzügen auf Oberflächen bekannt, die aus Aluminium oder dessen Legierungen sowie mindestens einem der Werkstoffe Stahl oder verzinktem Stahl gebildet werden, wobei durch Spritzen oder Spritztauchen zwecks Bildung gleichmäßiger Phosphatschichten mit hohem Deckungsgrad mit einer Phosphatierlösung gearbeitet wird, die neben Zink, Phosphat und Fluorid auch weitere Kationen aus der Gruppe Nickel, Mangan, Magnesium und Calcium enthalten kann.EP-A-0 261 704 discloses a method for producing phosphate coatings on surfaces which are formed from aluminum or its alloys and at least one of the materials steel or galvanized steel, by spraying or splash-dipping to form uniform phosphate layers with a high degree of coverage a phosphating solution is being worked which, in addition to zinc, phosphate and fluoride, can also contain other cations from the group nickel, manganese, magnesium and calcium.

Aus WO 85/03089 ist ein Hochnickel-Zinkphosphatierverfahren bekannt. Hierbei werden außerordentlich hohe Nickel-Konzentrationen zur Phosphatierung eingesetzt. Es wird allgemein darauf hingewiesen, daß ein Teil des Nickels prinzipiell durch eine Reihe einwertiger oder zweiwertiger Kationen ersetzt werden kann. Diese sind beispielsweise ausgewählt aus Cobalt, Mangan und Magnesium. Weiterhin wird ausgeführt, daß der Nickel-Gehalt der einzusetzenden Lösung wenigstens 1,0 g/l betragen muß. Das einzusetzende Verhältnis zwischen geringem Zink- und hohem Nickelgehalt ist ein wesentlicher Bestandteil der technischen Lehre.A high nickel zinc phosphating process is known from WO 85/03089. Here extraordinarily high nickel concentrations are used for phosphating. It is generally pointed out that part of the nickel can in principle be replaced by a series of monovalent or divalent cations. These are selected, for example, from cobalt, manganese and magnesium. Furthermore, it is stated that the nickel content of the solution to be used must be at least 1.0 g / l. The ratio to be used between low zinc and high nickel content is an essential part of technical teaching.

Die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung bestand darin, ein Phosphatierungsverfahren zur Verfügung zu stellen, das Nickel-frei ist oder gegenüber dem Stand der Technik einen niedrigeren Nickelgehalt aufweist, da Nickel einen außerordentlich teuren Badbestandteil darstellt und außerdem ökologisch bedenklich ist. Da das Ablassen nickelhaltiger Abwässer kostenpflichtig ist, bestand die Aufgabe weiterhin darin, die schichtverfeinernde Wirkung von Nickel durch ökologisch unbedenklichere Ionen zu erzielen.The object of the present invention was to provide a phosphating process which is nickel-free or has a lower nickel content compared to the prior art, since nickel is an extremely expensive bath component and is also ecologically unsafe. Since the discharge of nickel-containing wastewater is subject to a charge, the task continued to be to achieve the layer-refining effect of nickel by means of ions that are less harmful to the environment.

Ein Vorteil der vorliegenden Erfindung besteht darin, daß außerordentlich geringe flächenbezogene Massen der Phospatschichten ohne Einbuße im Korrosionsschutzverhalten erhalten werden konnten. Dies gilt insbesondere für Oberflächen von Stahl.An advantage of the present invention is that extremely low area-related masses of the phosphate layers could be obtained without loss of corrosion protection behavior. This applies in particular to steel surfaces.

Durch separate Aktivierung und den Zusatz von Magnesium zu den erfindungsgemäßen Badzusammensetzungen konnten in der Phosphatierung sehr kleine Kristalle mit einer Kantenlänge von etwa 0,5 bis 1,5 µm im Tauchverfahren und etwa 1 bis 2 um beim Spritzverfahren erhalten werden. Mit Hilfe der vorliegenden Erfindung konnte in den Phosphatschichten ein sehr geringer Hopeitanteil, insbesondere auf Stahl erreicht werden. Die Ursache ist insbesondere in dem Einbau eines zusätzlichen Kations zu sehen und darin, daß erfindungsgemäß mit niedrigem Zinkgehalt gearbeitet wird.Through separate activation and the addition of magnesium to the bath compositions according to the invention, very small crystals with an edge length of approximately 0.5 to 1.5 μm in the immersion process and approximately 1 to 2 μm in the spray process could be obtained in the phosphating. With the help of the present invention, a very small amount of hopite, in particular on steel, could be achieved in the phosphate layers. The cause can be seen in particular in the incorporation of an additional cation and in the fact that the invention works with a low zinc content.

Gute Korrosionstestwerte konnten sowohl ohne die Verwendung von Nickel als auch bei Substitution von Teilen des Nickelgehaltes durch Magnesium bezüglich der Unterwanderung am Schnitt als auch im Lackhaftungsergebnis auf Stahl erhalten werden. Die Substitution von Nickel durch Magnesium zeigte sehr gute Korrosionstestwerte.Good corrosion test values could be obtained both without the use of nickel and with the substitution of parts of the nickel content by magnesium with regard to the infiltration at the cut and in the paint adhesion result on steel. The substitution of nickel with magnesium showed very good corrosion test values.

Bei der Phosphatierung von Oberflächen von Stahl oder Zink ist der Einsatz von Fluoridionen nicht unbedingt erforderlich. Im Falle der Phosphatierung von Aluminiumoberflächen oder dessen Legierungen führt der Einsatz von Fluoridionen zu einem gleichmäßigen Deckungsgrad der Phosphatschichten auf dem Aluminium. Als Beispiele für Aluminium-Oberflächen und deren Legierungen seien Reinaluminium-, AlMg und AlMgSi-Knetwerkstoffe genannt. Eine ausführliche Darstellung der Aluminiumwerkstoffe findet sich z.B. im Aluminiumtaschenbuch, 14. Auflage, Aluminium-Verlag, Düsseldorf, 1988.The use of fluoride ions is not absolutely necessary when phosphating steel or zinc surfaces. In the case of phosphating aluminum surfaces or their alloys, the use of fluoride ions leads to a uniform one Degree of coverage of the phosphate layers on the aluminum. Pure aluminum, AlMg and AlMgSi kneading materials may be mentioned as examples of aluminum surfaces and their alloys. A detailed description of the aluminum materials can be found, for example, in the aluminum pocket book, 14th edition, Aluminum-Verlag, Düsseldorf, 1988.

Unter dem Begriff Stahl wird un- bis niedrig-legierter Stahl verstanden, wie er z.B. in Form von Blechen für den Karosseriebau Verwendung findet. Der Begriff verzinkter Stahl umfaßt z.B. Verzinkungen auf elektrolytischem und auf dem Schmelz-Tauch-Wege und bezieht sich auf Zink und Zinklegierungen, z.B. Z, ZE, ZNE, ZF, ZA, AZ.The term steel is understood to mean unalloyed to low-alloy steel, as it e.g. in the form of sheets for body construction. The term galvanized steel includes e.g. Galvanizing on the electrolytic and on the hot-dip route and refers to zinc and zinc alloys, e.g. Z, ZE, ZNE, ZF, ZA, AZ.

Die Phosphatierung im Sinne der vorliegenden Erfindung erfolgt im Spritzen, Spritztauchen und Tauchen. Die zu phosphatierenden Metalloberflächen müssen frei von störenden Belägen aus Ölen, Schmierstoffen, Oxiden und dergleichen sein. Vor der Phosphatierung werden die Oberflächen in geeigneter Weise gereinigt und gegebenenfalls mit an sich bekannten Aktivierungsmitteln, z.B. titansalzhaltigen wäßrigen Suspensionen aktiviert. Üblicherweise kann das Aktivierungsmittel im Reinigerbad oder als getrennte Verfahrensstufe eingebracht werden.The phosphating in the sense of the present invention takes place in spraying, splash immersion and immersion. The metal surfaces to be phosphated must be free from disturbing deposits of oils, lubricants, oxides and the like. Before phosphating, the surfaces are cleaned in a suitable manner and, if necessary, with activating agents known per se, e.g. activated aqueous titanium suspensions. The activating agent can usually be introduced in the cleaning bath or as a separate process step.

Als Beschleuniger können die in der Phosphatierungstechnik generell üblichen Substanzen eingesetzt werden.The substances generally used in phosphating technology can be used as accelerators.

Von besonderem Vorteil ist es, die Oberfläche mit einer wäßrigen Phosphatierungslösung in Kontakt zu bringen, die als Beschleuniger Chlorat, Nitrat, Nitrit, Peroxid und/oder organische Oxidationsmittel, insbesondere organische Nitroverbindungen, enthält.It is particularly advantageous to bring the surface into contact with an aqueous phosphating solution which contains chlorate, nitrate, nitrite, peroxide and / or organic oxidizing agents, in particular organic nitro compounds, as accelerators.

Weiterhin können die Phosphatierungslösungen in der Phosphatiertechnik bekannte Zusätze zur Modifizierung der Verfahrensweise und der Schichteigenschaften enthalten. Als Beispiele seien genannt: Tenside, Polyhydroxycarbonsäuren, Polyphosphate, Ammonium-, Alkali-, Kupfer-, Cobaltionen und indifferente Anionen, wie Chlorid und/oder Sulfat.Furthermore, the phosphating solutions known in phosphating technology can be used to modify the procedure and of the layer properties included. Examples include: surfactants, polyhydroxycarboxylic acids, polyphosphates, ammonium, alkali, copper, cobalt ions and indifferent anions such as chloride and / or sulfate.

Gemäß der vorliegenden Erfindung wird somit in einer ersten Ausführungsform ein Niedrigzink-Verfahren beschrieben, bei dem Nickel durch Magnesium ersetzt ist. Bei der vorliegenden Erfindung handelt es sich somit um ein Zinkphosphatierverfahren, das insbesondere im Niedrigzink-Bereich eingesetzt werden kann. Mit Hilfe dieses Verfahrens werden Phosphatschichten erzeugt, die als Kationen neben Zink und Magnesium auch Mangan enthalten. Unter gewissen Anlagenbedingungen kann die Zugabe von Ni-Ionen vorteilhaft sein. So werden bei Zink (Z, ZE) enthaltenden Oberflächen und bei den Legierungen ZNE, ZF, ZA und AZ, durch die Anwesenheit von Nickel verbesserte Phosphatierungsergebnisse erhalten, während bei Stahloberflächen eine positive Wirkung nicht beobachtet wurde.According to the present invention, a low-zinc process in which nickel is replaced by magnesium is thus described in a first embodiment. The present invention is therefore a zinc phosphating process, which in particular Low zinc range can be used. With the help of this process, phosphate layers are generated which contain manganese as well as zinc and magnesium. Under certain system conditions, the addition of Ni ions can be advantageous. In the case of surfaces containing zinc (Z, ZE) and in the alloys ZNE, ZF, ZA and AZ, the presence of nickel results in improved phosphating results, while a positive effect was not observed on steel surfaces.

In einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsform der vorliegenden Erfindung können die einzusetzenden Lösungen geringe Mengen an Nickel(II)-Ionen enthalten. Bevorzugt in diesem Sinne sind daher Lösungen, die 0,2 bis 0,8 g/l, insbesondere 0,25 bis 0,5 g/l Nickel(II)-Ionen enthalten.In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, the solutions to be used can contain small amounts of nickel (II) ions. In this sense, preference is therefore given to solutions which contain 0.2 to 0.8 g / l, in particular 0.25 to 0.5 g / l, of nickel (II) ions.

Gemäß einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform der vorliegenden Erfindung wird als organisches Oxidationsmittel 3-Nitrobenzolsulfonsäure eingesetzt.According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, 3-nitrobenzenesulfonic acid is used as the organic oxidizing agent.

Als bevorzugtes organisches Oxidationsmittel wird das Natriumsalz der 3-Nitrobenzolsulfonsäure eingesetzt.The sodium salt of 3-nitrobenzenesulfonic acid is used as the preferred organic oxidizing agent.

In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform der vorliegenden Erfindung wird die Phosphatierung bei einer Temperatur im Bereich von 40 bis 70 °C durchgeführt. In einer weiteren Ausführungsform der vorliegenden Erfindung werden vorzugsweise die Oberflächen von Stahl im Verlauf von 1 bis 5 min schichtbildend phosphatiert.In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the phosphating is carried out at a temperature in the range from 40 to 70 ° C. In a further embodiment of the present invention, the surfaces of steel are preferably phosphated in the course of 1 to 5 minutes to form a layer.

Die mit Hilfe des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens erzeugten Oberflächenschichten sind auf allen Gebieten, auf denen Phosphatüberzüge angewendet werden, gut einsetzbar. Ein besonders vorteilhafter Anwendungsfall liegt in der Vorbereitung der Metalloberflächen für die Lackierung, insbesondere die Elektrotauchlackierung.The surface layers produced with the aid of the method according to the invention can be used well in all fields in which phosphate coatings are used.

Bei der Bestimmung des Blasengrades von Anstrichen gemäß DIN 53 209 wird eine bei Anstrichen auftretende Blasenbildung durch Angabe des Blasengrades definiert. Der Blasengrad nach dieser Norm ist ein Maß für eine an einem Anstrich aufgetretene Blasenbildung nach Häufigkeit der Blasen je Flächeneinheit und Größe der Blasen. Der Blasengrad wird durch einen Kennbuchstaben und eine Kennzahl für die Häufigkeit der Blasen je Flächeneinheit sowie einen Kennbuchstaben und eine Kennzahl für die Größe der Blasen angegeben. Der Kennbuchstabe und die Kennzahl mO bedeutet keine Blasen, während m5 entsprechend den Blasengradbildern gemäß der DIN 53 209 eine gewisse Häufigkeit der Blasen je Flächeneinheit definiert.When determining the degree of blistering of paints in accordance with DIN 53 209, blistering that occurs in paints is defined by specifying the degree of blistering. The degree of bubbles according to this standard is a measure of the formation of bubbles on a coating according to the frequency of the bubbles per unit area and the size of the bubbles. The degree of bubbles is indicated by a code letter and a code number for the frequency of the bubbles per unit area as well as a code letter and a code number for the size of the bubbles. The code letter and the code mO means no bubbles, while m5 defines a certain frequency of bubbles per unit area according to the degree of bubbles according to DIN 53 209.

Die Größe der Blasen wird mit dem Kennbuchstaben g und der Kennzahl im Bereich von 0 bis 5 versehen. Kennbuchstabe und Kennzahl gO hat die Bedeutung - keine Blasen - während g5 gemäß der Größe der Blasen entsprechend den Blasengradbildern der DIN 53 209 wiedergegeben ist.The size of the bubbles is given the code letter g and the code number in the range from 0 to 5. Code letter and code number GO has the meaning - no bubbles - while g5 is shown in accordance with the size of the bubbles in accordance with the degree of bubbles in DIN 53 209.

Durch Vergleich des Anstriches mit den Blasengradbildern wird der Blasengrad ermittelt, dessen Bild dem Aussehen des Anstrichs am ähnlichsten ist.By comparing the coating with the blistering images, the degree of blistering is determined, the image of which is most similar to the appearance of the coating.

Gemäß DIN 53 167 dient die Salzsprühnebelprüfung nach dieser Norm dazu, das Verhalten von Lackierungen, Anstrichen und ähnlichen Beschichtungen bei Einwirkung versprühter Natriumchloridlösung zu ermitteln. Weist die Beschichtung Schwachstellen, Poren oder Verletzungen auf, dann findet von dort aus bevorzugt eine Unterwanderung der Beschichtung statt. Dies führt zu einer Haftungsverminderung oder zu Haftungsverlust und Korrosion des metallischen Untergrundes.According to DIN 53 167, the salt spray test according to this standard is used to determine the behavior of paints, coatings and similar coatings when exposed to sprayed sodium chloride solution. If the coating has weak points, pores or injuries, the coating preferably infiltrates from there. This leads to a reduction in adhesion or to loss of adhesion and corrosion of the metallic surface.

Die Salzsprühnebelprüfung wird angewendet, damit solche Fehler erkannt und die Unterwanderung ermittelt werden kann.The salt spray test is used so that such errors can be recognized and the infiltration can be determined.

Unterwanderung im Sinne dieser Norm ist das von einer definiert angebrachten Verletzungsstelle (Ritz) oder von vorhandenen Schwachstellen (z. B. Poren, Kanten) ausgehende Eindringen von Natriumchloridlösung in die Grenzfläche zwischen Beschichtung und Untergrund oder in die Grenzfläche zwischen einzelnen Beschichtungen. Die Breite der Zone mit verminderter oder verlorener Haftung dient als Maß für die Widerstandsfähigkeit der Beschichtung auf dem jeweiligen Untergrund gegen das Einwirken versprühter Natriumchloridlösung.Infiltration within the meaning of this standard is the penetration of sodium chloride solution into the interface between coating and substrate or into the interface between individual coatings, starting from a defined point of injury (Ritz) or from existing weak points (e.g. pores, edges). The width of the zone with reduced or lost adhesion serves as a measure of the resistance of the coating on the respective substrate to the action of sprayed sodium chloride solution.

Die VW-Norm P 1210 stellt einen Wechseltest dar, der aus einer Kombination verschieden genormter Prüfverfahren besteht. So wird im Verlauf von im vorliegenden Fall 60 Tagen ein Prüfzyklus eingehalten, der besteht aus
4 h Salzsprüh-Test gemäß DIN 50 021,
4 h Ruhezeit bei Raumtemperatur und
16 h Schwitzwasser-Konstantklima gemäß DIN 50 017.

4 h salt spray test according to DIN 50 021,
4 h rest at room temperature and
16 h condensation constant climate according to DIN 50 017.

Zu Beginn des Tests wird das Prüfgrät mit einer definierten Menge Stahlschrot bestimmter Korngrößenverteilung beschossen. Nach Ablauf der Prüfzeit wird dem Korrosionsgrad eine Kennzahl zugeordnet. Entsprechend den Kennzahlen von 1 bis 10 bezeichnet die Kennzahl 1 eine nicht sichtbare Korrosion, während bei einer Kennzahl 10 praktisch die gesamte Oberfläche korrodiert ist.At the beginning of the test, the test bone is bombarded with a defined amount of steel shot with a certain grain size distribution. After the test period has expired, a key figure is assigned to the degree of corrosion. Corresponding to the key figures from 1 to 10, the key figure 1 denotes an invisible corrosion, while with a key figure 10 practically the entire surface is corroded.

Eine Runde (7 Tage) Prüfzyklus des VDA-Wechselklimatests besteht aus
24 h Salzsprühtest gemäß DIN 50021,
96 h Kondenswasser-Wechselklima nach DIN 50017
48 h Ruhezeit bei Raumtemperatur.
