Definitions
- the present invention relates to the composition of baths for the chemical polishing of stainless steel surfaces.
- Chemical polishing of metal surfaces is a well-known technique (electrolytic and chemical polishing of metals - W.J. Mc G. TEGART - Dunod - 1960 - p. 122 et seq.); it consists in treating the metal surfaces to be polished with oxidizing baths.
- baths are generally used comprising a mixture, in aqueous solution, of hydrochloric, phosphoric and nitric acids (patent US-A-2662814).
- suitable additives such as surfactants, viscosity regulators and brighteners.
- a composition of a bath for the chemical polishing of stainless steel surfaces comprising, in aqueous solution, a mixture of hydrochloric acid, nitric acid and acid.
- phosphoric a viscosity regulator chosen from water-soluble polymers, a surfactant and sulfosalicylic acid as a brightening agent.
- the invention aims to provide baths designed to carry out slow and effective chemical polishing of stainless steel surfaces, at working temperatures below 50 ° C.
- the invention relates to baths for the chemical polishing of stainless steel surfaces, comprising, in aqueous solution, a mixture of hydrochloric acid, nitric acid and phosphoric acid, an optionally substituted hydroxybenzoic acid, at least a quaternary ammonium salt and an additive selected from perchloric acid and the water-soluble salts of perchloric acid.
- hydroxybenzoic acid serves as a brightening agent. It can be unsubstituted such as salicylic acid or substituted such as sulfosalicylic acid. Salicylic acid is preferred.
- the quaternary ammonium salt is preferably selected from those which comprise at least one long-chain alkyl radical, substituted or unsubstituted, containing at least four carbon atoms. It is preferred to select quaternary ammonium salts in which the long-chain alkyl group contains at least 8 carbon atoms, preferably at least 12 carbon atoms, such as the lauryl, cetyl and stearyl, for example.
- Specially recommended quaternary ammonium salts belong to the class formed from water-soluble alkylpyridinium salts and water-soluble quaternary ammonium salts comprising, in addition to the long-chain alkyl radical defined above, at least one other substituted or unsubstituted alkyl radical substituted and / or a substituted or unsubstituted benzyl radical.
- Halides are preferred, especially chlorides.
- quaternary ammonium salts which can be used in the baths according to the invention are cetyltrimethylammonium chloride, cetyldimethylbenzylammonium chloride, distearyl dimethylammonium chloride, lauryldimethylbenzylammonium chloride, lauryltrimethylammonium chloride and alkylpyridinium chlorides, in particular the cetylpyridinium chloride and laurylpyridinium chloride.
- HENKEL DEHYQUART brand
- the respective amounts of the quaternary ammonium salt, on the one hand, and of the additive selected from perchloric acid and its water-soluble salts, on the other hand, should be adjusted to make coadsorption possible on the surface of the steel to be polished, while avoiding exceeding their solubility product.
- the baths according to the invention contain, per liter, between 0.005 and 1 g of the quaternary ammonium salt and between 0.001 and 0.5 mole of the additive selected from perchloric acid and its water-soluble salts.
- the polishing baths according to the invention may optionally contain additives usually present in baths known for the chemical polishing of metals, for example surfactants, alcohols and viscosity regulators. They can in particular comprise a water-soluble abietic compound which is a chemical compound comprising an abietyl radical of general formula: or a hydroabietyl or dehydroabietyl radical.
- the abietic compound must be soluble in the aqueous solution.
- Abietic compounds which can be used in the baths according to the invention are abietamines.
- abietamines which are very suitable in the baths according to the invention, are those in which at least one of the radicals X1 and X2 is a radical of general formula: -CH2-R2 in which R2 denotes a linear or cyclic alkyl radical, substituted or unsubstituted, saturated or unsaturated, comprising at least one carbonyl group.
- R2 denotes a linear or cyclic alkyl radical, substituted or unsubstituted, saturated or unsaturated, comprising at least one carbonyl group.
- substituted abietamines and the means of obtaining them are described in GB-A-734665.
- abietamines of this type which can be used in the baths according to the invention, are those in which the alkyl residue R2 is selected from acetonyl, 2-keto butyl, 4-methyl 2-keto-pentenyl-3, 4- hydroxy 4-methyl 2-keto pentyl, 2-keto cyclopentyl, 4-hydroxy 2-keto pentenyl-3, 2-keto cyclohexyl, 2,5-diketo hexyl and 2-phenyl 2-keto ethyl.
- the baths according to the invention are suitable for the chemical polishing of all austenitic stainless steel surfaces. They are specially suitable for polishing austenitic steels containing between 16 and 26% by weight of chromium and between 6 and 22% by weight of nickel, such as steels in grades 18/8 and 18/10, free of molybdenum (AISI steels -304 and 304L).
- the baths according to the invention have the particularity of carrying out the polishing such steels at slow speed, generally requiring a contact time of between 5 and 12 hours. They can be used at all temperatures between 20 ° C and the boiling temperature.
- the baths according to the invention have the additional advantage of performing good quality polishing of welded assemblies according to the rules of the art.
- the invention also relates to a method for polishing a stainless steel surface, according to which the surface is brought into contact with a chemical polishing bath according to the invention.
- the contacting of the metal surface with the bath can be carried out in any suitable manner, for example by immersion.
- the contact time of the surface to be polished with the bath must be sufficient to achieve effective polishing of the surface. However, it cannot exceed a critical value beyond which the bath loses its polishing properties.
- the optimum contact time depends on many parameters such as the grade of the steel, the configuration and the initial roughness of the surface to be polished, the composition of the bath, the working temperature, the possible agitation of the bath in contact with the surface, the ratio between the area of the surface to be polished and the volume of the bath; it must be determined in each particular case by routine laboratory work.
- the bath is carried out at a temperature between 20 and 50 ° C, preferably between 35 and 45 ° C, at normal atmospheric pressure, and the surface to be polished in contact with the bath for a time between 5 and 12 hours.
- the operating conditions were as follows: . bath volume 1940 cm3, . surface area subject to polishing 87 cm2, . temperature 35 ° C, . duration of immersion 12 hours 30 minutes.
- the operating conditions were as follows: . bath volume 970 cc, . surface area subject to polishing 87 cm2, . temperature 35 ° C, . duration of immersion 5 hours 30 minutes.
- the operating conditions were as follows: . bath volume 970 cc, . surface area subject to polishing 87 cm2, . temperature 35 ° C, . duration of immersion 6 hours.
- the operating conditions were as follows: . bath volume 1940 cm3, . surface area subject to polishing 87 cm2, . temperature 35 ° C, . duration of immersion 6 hours, 30 minutes.
