Definitions
- a pickling system which does not involve the use of nitric acid is therefore of considerable industrial interest and various proposals have been advanced in this respect throughout the world, especially during the last ten years.
- the process is based on the use of a pickling bath containing ferric ions, H 2 SO 4 , HF, H 2 O 2 and conventional additives such as wetting agents, emulsifiers, brighteners and anticorrosives, into which a strong air flow is continuously blown.
- the operating temperature is generally between 30 and 70°C and preferably between 45 and 55°C.
- the basic characteristics of the process are as follows:
- Fe 3+ ion content of the bath on preparing the bath, an Fe 3+ ion quantity of not less than 15 g/l is introduced into the pickling solution in the form of ferric sulphate.
- the function of this ion is to replace nitric acid as oxidizing agent in the reaction 2Fe 3+ + Fe ---> 3Fe 2+ , favoured by the bath pH conditions.
- the correct conditions for maximizing the ferric rather than ferrous form for the iron dissolved in the bath must be continuously created.
- the quantity of hydrogen peroxide consumed must be as small as possible. For this reason it is important to use hydrogen peroxide containing a known stabilizer effective in preventing or at least substantially retarding peroxide decomposition under the operation conditions (temperature up to 70 C, very acid bath pH, iron up to 100 g/l, presence of Ni and Cr ions).
- a particularly suitable stabilizer is that marketed by Interox (Laporte-Solvay) under the name Interox S 333 or Interox S 333C.
- the use of suitably stabilized H 2 O 2 in combination with the use of air blown into the bath as complementary oxidation medium has resulted in a process in which the use of H 2 O 2 is economically convenient, this never having been possible with known processes.
- the pickling bath is prepared with an H 2 O 2 concentration of between 1 and 20 g/l, and preferably 2-5 g/l.
- the continuous H 2 O 2 feed is regulated on the basis of the type of steel to be pickled, the surface characteristics of the material (or semi-finished product), and the quantity and quality of scale resulting from rolling or annealing. Generally an H 2 O 2 quantity of between 0.3 and 1 g/l of bath per hour of operation is fed.
- a continuous air flow into the bath is maintained at a rate of at least 3 m 3 /m 3 of bath per hour of operation.
- This air flow if fed in at a suitable speed, contributes to good bath agitation, this being an important condition for effective pickling as it continuously disturbs the laminar layer in proximity to the surface to be treated, hence ensuring that this surface is always in direct contact with a fresh pickling solution.
- the blown air also oxidises the ferrous ions in combination with the hydrogen peroxide, so resulting in a considerable reduction in the consumption of this latter.
- Control of Redox potential it is well known that the behaviour of stainless steel in acid mixtures is characterised by polarization curves which present activity, passivity and transpassivity phases for different potentials, so that the bath must be kept under those conditions in which the material does not corrode, ie the process must be operated at a potential falling within the passivity range, which can be predetermined based on the type of steel.
- additives for this type of process are used, chosen from non-ionic surfactants acting as wetting agents, emulsifiers, brighteners and acid attack inhibitors. These additives, by mutual synergic action, improve and favour the pickling action. They are used in a total quantity of about 1 g/l of bath.
- the process according to the invention reduces to a minimum or even prevents sludge formation with consequent further cost saving.
- This advantage is due inter alia to an appropriate HF concentration during the process and to proper control of the concentration of ferrous ions, which are immediately and adequately oxidized to ferric ions.
- facility for automatic control the process can be constantly controlled by automatic equipment which on the basis of analytical measurements (free and total acid, free fluoride ion content, bivalent ferrous ion content, Redox potential) meter the quantities of pickling products and stabilized hydrogen peroxide to be fed to achieve correct operating parameters.
- analytical measurements free and total acid, free fluoride ion content, bivalent ferrous ion content, Redox potential
- Process versatility the process of the invention is easily adaptable to all industrial stainless steel treatment plants, requiring only modest modification. It is also suitable for treating articles and semifinished products of any type, including wire, rod, strip, plate and tubes, the treatment parameters (temperature, time, concentrations) being able to undergo variation without in any way prejudicing results.
- the process is suitable for steel of any type: martensitic, ferritic, austenitic.
- 70 t of steel rod of average diameter 6 mm equivalent to about 5000 m 2 of the following materials: AISI 303, AISI 304 L, AISI 304 K, AISI 304 K2, AISI 316 L, AISI 316 R, AISI 316 Ti and AISI 430, were treated in an industrial tank with a useful bath capacity of 5 m 3 .
- the initial pickling bath had the following composition:
- the hydrogen peroxide stabilizer was Interox S 333 of Laporte Interox.
- the additives consisted of non-ionic surfactants and acid attack inhibitors of known type for pickling baths.
- the initially measured Redox potential was about 700 mV.
- H 2 SO 4 was added at intervals to a total of 340 kg, as were HF to a total of 460 kg and additives of the aforesaid type to a total of 25 kg.
- the bath temperature was maintained between 50 and 60 ° C and the air flow at 30 m 3 /h.
- the treatment time varied between 40 and 75 minutes according to the type of steel treated, with pickling kinetics similar to if not in various cases better than those of the traditional process based on nitric acid and hydrofluoric acid, which was simultaneously compared in a parallel tank.
- the Redox potential measured periodically, remained between 350 and 450 mV, hence ensuring optimum surface finish of the material treated.
- the total iron content was about 100 g/l with an Fe 3+ content of 60 g/l and an Fe 2+ content of 40 g/l.
- the ratio of the material quantity used to the test tank capacity was equal to that of normal industrial cycles.
- the temperature was fixed at 50°C and the treatment time varied from 30 to 60 minutes depending on the type of material.
- the new stainless steel pickling and passivation process characterised by a bath of specific composition, control of the bath during the entire operation, in particular of its Redox potential, and continuous air blowing, represents an optimum solution in terms of the technical result of the treatment, process economy (in particular due to the low H 2 O 2 consumption), and the pollution problem posed by traditional nitric acid processes.
