Abstract
Description
L'invention a pour objet un procédé de traitement de substrats à base d'aluminium en vue de leur anodisation.The subject of the invention is a method of treating aluminum-based substrates with a view to their anodization.
Elle vise également un bain mis en oeuvre dans ce procédé ainsi qu'un concentré pour la préparation du bain.It also relates to a bath used in this process as well as a concentrate for the preparation of the bath.
Les substrats, c'est-à-dire les pièces et profilés à base d'aluminium, autrement dit en aluminium ou en l'un de ses alliages, sont utilisés dans l'industrie et notamment en application architecturale, en particulier pour la fabrication des huisseries.Substrates, i.e. parts and profiles based on aluminum, in other words aluminum or one of its alloys, are used in industry and in particular in architectural applications, in particular for manufacturing doorframes.
Pour les protéger pendant leur utilisation, les susdites pièces et profilés peuvent être peints ou être soumis à un traitement d'anodisation électrolytique de l'aluminium en milieu acide.To protect them during their use, the above-mentioned parts and profiles can be painted or be subjected to an electrolytic anodizing treatment of aluminum in an acid medium.
A l'issue de ce traitement, lesdites pièces et profilés se trouvent protégés par une couche d'oxyde Al₂O₃ formée artificiellement; selon le degré de protection souhaité qui est fonction de l'utilisation des pièces à l'intérieur ou à l'extérieur, la couche d'alumine peut être plus ou moins épaisse; son épaisseur est généralement comprise entre 2 et 30 microns.After this treatment, said parts and profiles are protected by an artificially formed Al₂O d'oxide layer; depending on the desired degree of protection which is a function of the use of the parts inside or outside, the alumina layer can be more or less thick; its thickness is generally between 2 and 30 microns.
L'oxydation anodique ou anodisation constitue l'une des étapes d'une séquence comprenant généralement:
- une étape de dégraissage généralement en milieu alcalin pour éliminer les souillures organiques, étant toutefois noté que des dégraissages faisant intervenir l'acide phosphorique sont parfois utilisés,
- une étape de rinçage à l'eau courante froide,
- une étape de traitement chimique de surface ou satinage pour gommer les défauts de surface des pièces et pour conférer à l'aluminium un aspect généralement non brillant,
- une ou plusieurs étapes de rinçage en eau froide,
- une étape de blanchiment acide généralement à l'aide d'acide nitrique,
- une ou plusieurs étapes de rinçage en eau froide,
- l'oxydation anodique proprement dite, souvent réalisée dans le cas des applications architecturales à l'aide d'une solution à base d'acide sulfurique,
- une ou plusieurs étapes de rinçage d'abord en eau courante puis en eau déminéralisée,
- une étape dite de colmatage servant à fermer les pores créés par l'oxydation anodique.
- a degreasing step generally in an alkaline medium in order to remove organic stains, it being noted however that degreasing involving phosphoric acid is sometimes used,
- a rinsing step with cold running water,
- a step of chemical surface treatment or satin-finishing to erase the surface defects of the parts and to give the aluminum a generally non-shiny appearance,
- one or more rinsing steps in cold water,
- an acid bleaching step generally using nitric acid,
- one or more rinsing steps in cold water,
- the anodic oxidation proper, often carried out in the case of architectural applications using a solution based on sulfuric acid,
- one or more rinsing steps first in running water then in demineralized water,
- a so-called clogging step used to close the pores created by anodic oxidation.
Les caractéristiques de la protection conférées aux substrats en aluminium dépendent essentiellement de l'oxydation anodique et des étapes suivantes; par contre, l'apparence du substrat dépend des étapes précédant l'oxydation anodique, ces étapes visant à réaliser:
- la suppression des traits de filage liés au passage des profilés dans des filières plus ou moins âgées,
- la suppression des zones de ségrégation cristalline, notamment dans le cas de profilés creux,
- un aspect uniforme mat et reproductible en fin de traitement.
- the elimination of the spinning lines linked to the passage of the profiles in more or less old dies,
- the elimination of crystalline segregation zones, in particular in the case of hollow sections,
- a uniform matte and reproducible appearance at the end of treatment.
Pour ce faire, les étapes précédant l'oxydation anodique comprennent l'étape dite de satinage produisant un décapage qui consiste en l'élimination de la couche superficielle des substrats; dans la pratique, les pièces ou profilés traités sont décapés sur une épaisseur d'environ 30 microns, ce qui correspond à une perte de poids d'environ 90 g/m².To do this, the steps preceding the anodic oxidation include the so-called satin-finishing step producing a pickling which consists in removing the surface layer from the substrates; in practice, the treated parts or profiles are pickled to a thickness of approximately 30 microns, which corresponds to a weight loss of approximately 90 g / m².
Pour réaliser l'étape de satinage, on a déjà eu recours à des bains alcalins contenant une base forte, NaOH ou KOH; on confère ainsi au substrat l'aspect mat recherché. La brillance du substrat qui traduit l'état de "matité" obtenu et qui est mesurée selon la norme ISO 7668, à 60°C, est comprise entre 35 et 70 après l'étape de satinage et se situe entre 5 et 13 après l'oxydation anodique; plus le chiffre obtenu lors de la mesure de la brillance est faible, plus la matité de la surface est élevée.To carry out the satin-finishing step, alkaline baths containing a strong base, NaOH or KOH have already been used; the desired mat appearance is thus given to the substrate. The gloss of the substrate which reflects the state of "dullness" obtained and which is measured according to ISO standard 7668, at 60 ° C., is between 35 and 70 after the satin-finishing step and is between 5 and 13 after 1 'oxidation anodic; the lower the figure obtained when measuring the gloss, the higher the dullness of the surface.
Dans le but d'uniformiser l'aspect mat de l'aluminium, il a été proposé d'utiliser pour application architecturale des bains de satinage dits permanents (sans aucune vidange des cuves) qui s'équilibrent à de fortes teneurs en soude libre (comprises entre 80 et 120 g/l) et en aluminium (comprises entre 120 et 180 g/l). Ces bains sont à une température comprise entre 50 et 70°C; les substrats y sont immergés pendant une durée d'environ 15 à environ 25 minutes selon la matité recherchée.In order to standardize the matt appearance of aluminum, it has been proposed to use for architectural application so-called permanent satin-finishing baths (without any emptying of the tanks) which are balanced at high free soda contents ( between 80 and 120 g / l) and aluminum (between 120 and 180 g / l). These baths are at a temperature between 50 and 70 ° C; the substrates are immersed therein for a period of about 15 to about 25 minutes depending on the desired mattness.
Pour maintenir en solution les sels concentrés d'aluminium, on ajoute aux susdits bains des complexants tels que le gluconate.To keep the concentrated aluminum salts in solution, complexing agents such as gluconate are added to the above baths.
Pour augmenter la matité des pièces traitées sans augmenter l'épaisseur de décapage, on a proposé d'ajouter dans le bain de satinage des dérivés azotés tels que par exemple des nitrates; il se trouve toutefois que le dégagement d'hydrogène généré par la réaction d'attaque de l'aluminium
rend le milieu très réducteur et entraîne la génération d'ammoniac à partir des nitrates, d'où une pollution aérienne ainsi qu'une corrosion des installations. Cette technique a donc été généralement abandonnée.To increase the dullness of the treated parts without increasing the pickling thickness, it has been proposed to add nitrogenous derivatives such as, for example, nitrates to the satin-finishing bath; however, it turns out that the evolution of hydrogen generated by the aluminum attack reaction
makes the medium very reducing and leads to the generation of ammonia from nitrates, resulting in air pollution and corrosion of the installations. This technique has therefore been generally abandoned.
La protection de l'environnement impose, sur le plan mondial, que les rejets d'effluents aussi bien aqueux que solides soient de plus en plus faibles; on essaie donc de recycler les produits usés et de les régénérer ainsi que de valoriser les déchets non régénérables.Environmental protection means that, on a global level, discharges of both aqueous and solid effluents are increasingly low; we therefore try to recycle used products and regenerate them as well as recover non-regenerable waste.
Pour ce qui concerne les rejets solides, les mises en décharge deviennent de plus en plus difficiles du fait du remplissage de ces dernières et il s'avère donc nécessaire de minimiser, dans le cadre de la préparation de surface de l'aluminium avant oxydation anodique, les attaques chimiques liées au satinage afin de minimiser par la suite les boues d'hydroxyde d'aluminium provenant de la neutralisation des effluents des bains.With regard to solid discharges, landfill becomes more and more difficult due to the filling of the latter and it therefore appears necessary to minimize, in the context of the surface preparation of aluminum before anodic oxidation , the chemical attacks related to satin-finishing in order to subsequently minimize aluminum hydroxide sludge from neutralization of bath effluents.
Pour réduire les quantités de boues, il a été proposé d'utiliser des bains sans ajout de complexants organiques; l'avantage de ces bains est de faciliter la précipitation d'hydroxyde d'aluminium et donc la régénération de la soude selon l'équation
la soude régénérée étant recyclée dans le bain de satinage.To reduce the amounts of sludge, it has been proposed to use baths without adding organic complexing agents; the advantage of these baths is to facilitate the precipitation of aluminum hydroxide and therefore the regeneration of soda according to the equation
the regenerated soda being recycled into the satin-finishing bath.
Mais il est alors nécessaire de travailler avec des bains de satinage dilués (environ 10 g/l de soude libre et 12 g/l d'aluminium dissous), la réaction de précipitation pouvant se faire dans une installation annexe; cependant, le risque de précipitation d'Al(HO)₃ dans la cuve de travail reste grand, avec comme conséquence l'arrêt de la production et le nettoyage de la cuve.However, it is then necessary to work with diluted satin-finishing baths (approximately 10 g / l of free sodium hydroxide and 12 g / l of dissolved aluminum), the precipitation reaction can be carried out in an annex installation; however, the risk of precipitation of Al (HO) ₃ in the working tank remains great, with the consequence of stopping production and cleaning the tank.
Il a également été proposé (demande de brevet européen N° 0 104 821) de réaliser l'étape de satinage en ayant recours à un bain constitué par une solution aqueuse diluée d'acide hexafluorophosphorique pouvant contenir de l'acide nitrique.It has also been proposed (European patent application No. 0 104 821) to carry out the satin-finishing step by using a bath consisting of a dilute aqueous solution of hexafluorophosphoric acid which may contain nitric acid.
Toutefois, la matité des substrats ainsi traités est médiocre.However, the dullness of the substrates thus treated is poor.
L'invention a donc pour but de fournir un procédé et un bain du genre en question qui ne présentent pas les inconvénients inhérents à l'art antérieur et grâce auxquels il est possible de conférer une excellente matité aux substrats traités.The invention therefore aims to provide a method and a bath of the kind in question which do not have the drawbacks inherent in the prior art and by which it is possible to impart excellent dullness to the treated substrates.
Et la Société Demanderesse a eu le mérite de trouver que, d'une façon inattendue et surprenante, il devenait possible d'obtenir des substrats présentant une matité et un aspect excellents sans risque d'exploitation et tout en diminuant la quantité de rejets alcalins (soude et aluminate) ainsi que l'épaisseur de décapage dès lors que l'on a recours, pour l'étape de satinage, à un bain acide comprenant au moins un dérivé fluoré du titane et/ou du zirconium et/ou du silicium ainsi qu'au moins un acide du groupe comprenant les acides nitrique, sulfurique et phosphorique.And the Applicant Company had the merit of finding that, unexpectedly and surprisingly, it became possible to obtain substrates having an excellent mattness and appearance without risk of exploitation and while reducing the amount of alkaline releases ( soda and aluminate) as well as the pickling thickness that an acid bath comprising at least one fluorinated derivative of titanium and / or zirconium and / or silicon is used for the satin-finishing step, as well as at least one acid from the group comprising nitric acids, sulfuric and phosphoric.
Il s'ensuit que le procédé conforme à l'invention de traitement de substrats à base d'aluminium en vue de leur anodisation est caractérisé par le fait qu'il comporte une étape de traitement de surface ou satinage mettant en oeuvre un bain acide comprenant au moins un dérivé fluoré du titane et/ou du zirconium et/ou du silicium ainsi qu'au moins un acide du groupe comprenant les acides nitrique, sulfurique et phosphorique.It follows that the method according to the invention for treating aluminum-based substrates with a view to their anodization is characterized by the fact that it comprises a surface treatment or satin-finishing step using an acid bath comprising at least one fluorinated derivative of titanium and / or zirconium and / or silicon as well as at least one acid from the group comprising nitric, sulfuric and phosphoric acids.
Selon un mode de réalisation avantageux du susdit procédé, l'étape de satinage mettant en oeuvre le bain acide est suivie d'une étape de satinage léger complémentaire mettant en oeuvre un bain alcalin, les conditions de ce satinage étant telles qu'il conduit à un décapage d'au plus 40 g/m² d'aluminium.According to an advantageous embodiment of the above process, the satin-finishing step using the acid bath is followed by a complementary light satin-finishing step using an alkaline bath, the conditions of this satin-finishing being such that it leads to pickling of up to 40 g / m² of aluminum.
Le bain conforme à l'invention pour le traitement de substrats à base d'aluminium en vue de leur anodisation est caractérisé par le fait qu'il comprend au moins un dérivé fluoré du titane et/ou du zirconium et/ou du silicium ainsi qu'au moins un acide du groupe comprenant les acides nitrique, sulfurique et phosphorique.The bath according to the invention for the treatment of aluminum-based substrates with a view to their anodization is characterized in that it comprises at least one fluorinated derivative of titanium and / or zirconium and / or silicon as well as '' at least one acid from the group comprising nitric, sulfuric and phosphoric acids.
Le concentré conforme à l'invention qui est propre à fournir par dilution avec de l'eau le bain conforme à l'invention peut contenir le dérivé fluoré du titane et/ou du zirconium et/ou du silicium en une concentration de produit commercial de 50 à 99,5% et l'acide du groupe comprenant les acides nitrique, sulfurique et phosphorique à une concentration de produit commercial de 0,5 à 50%.The concentrate according to the invention which is capable of providing by dilution with water the bath according to the invention can contain the fluorinated derivative of titanium and / or zirconium and / or silicon in a concentration of commercial product of 50 to 99.5% and the acid of the group comprising nitric, sulfuric and phosphoric acids at a concentration of commercial product of 0.5 to 50%.
Les acides nitrique, sulfurique et phosphorique présentent l'avantage d'être présents sur les lignes d'oxydation anodique dans les bains de dégraissage acide (H₃PO₄), de blanchiment (HNO₃) et d'oxydation anodique (H₂SO₄); ils peuvent de plus être régénérés à partir de ces bains par des procédés déjà connus (résines échangeuses d'ions par exemple); on peut également les utiliser directement dans le bain de décapage acide si leur taux de pollution le permet, ce qui est le cas dans le cadre de la présente invention.Nitric, sulfuric and phosphoric acids have the advantage of being present on the anodic oxidation lines in acid degreasing (H₃PO₄), bleaching (HNO₃) and anodic oxidation baths. (H₂SO₄); they can also be regenerated from these baths by already known methods (ion exchange resins for example); they can also be used directly in the acid pickling bath if their pollution rate allows, which is the case in the context of the present invention.
Tenant compte de cette possibilité de recyclage des acides nitrique, sulfurique ou phosphorique, un concentré conforme à l'invention propre à fournir le bain conforme à l'invention après dilution avec de l'eau et de l'acide recyclé peut comporter, outre de l'eau, un dérivé fluoré du titane et/ou du zirconium et/ou du silicium à une concentration en produit commercial comprise entre 50 et 99,5%.Taking into account this possibility of recycling nitric, sulfuric or phosphoric acids, a concentrate according to the invention suitable for supplying the bath according to the invention after dilution with water and recycled acid can comprise, in addition to water, a fluorinated derivative of titanium and / or zirconium and / or silicon at a concentration of commercial product of between 50 and 99.5%.
Un tel concentré peut être dilué dans l'eau à une concentration comprise entre 1 pour mille et 10% pour constituer le bain prêt à l'emploi.Such a concentrate can be diluted in water to a concentration of between 1 per thousand and 10% to constitute the ready-to-use bath.
Selon un mode de réalisation du bain de satinage conforme à l'invention utilisé dans le procédé conforme à l'invention, le dérivé fluoré du titane, du zirconium ou du silicium est choisi dans le groupe comprenant les acides fluométalliques H₂TiF₆, H₂ZrF₆, H₂SiF₆, ainsi que leurs sels alcalins ou d'ammonium.According to one embodiment of the satin-finishing bath in accordance with the invention used in the process in accordance with the invention, the fluorinated derivative of titanium, zirconium or silicon is chosen from the group comprising the fluometallic acids H₂TiF₆, H₂ZrF₆, H₂SiF₆, as well as their alkali or ammonium salts.
Selon un autre mode de réalisation avantageux, le bain de décapage selon l'invention comprend le dérivé fluoré du titane et/ou du zirconium et/ou du silicium à une concentration d'au moins 1 g/l, et l'acide nitrique et/ou sulfurique et/ou phosphorique à une concentration comprise entre 0,5 et 100 ml par litre de bain, exprimée en acide concentré du commerce.According to another advantageous embodiment, the pickling bath according to the invention comprises the fluorinated derivative of titanium and / or zirconium and / or silicon at a concentration of at least 1 g / l, and nitric acid and / or sulfuric and / or phosphoric at a concentration between 0.5 and 100 ml per liter of bath, expressed as concentrated commercial acid.
Les susdites concentrations ainsi que la durée et la température de l'étape de satinage sont ajustés de façon à obtenir un taux de décapage d'au moins 5 g/m² du substrat.The above concentrations as well as the duration and the temperature of the satin-finishing step are adjusted so as to obtain a pickling rate of at least 5 g / m² of the substrate.
Pour optimiser l'étape de dégraissage ou éventuellement la supprimer, on peut ajouter au bain de satinage ou au concentré des agents tensio-actifs non ioniques, anioniques ou cationiques et des "tiers solvants".To optimize the degreasing step or possibly eliminate it, you can add to the satin-finishing bath or to the concentrate of nonionic, anionic or cationic surfactants and "third solvents".
Les agents tensio-actifs en question peuvent être choisis dans le groupe comprenant les alkylphénols, les alcools et les amines polyalcoxylés, les alkyl-, alkylaryl- et arylsulfates, les sulfonates, les phosphates et les ammoniums quaternaires.The surfactants in question can be chosen from the group comprising alkylphenols, alcohols and polyalkoxylated amines, alkyl-, alkylaryl- and arylsulfates, sulfonates, phosphates and quaternary ammoniums.
Les tiers solvants peuvent par exemple être des glycols.The third solvents can for example be glycols.
La température du bain de satinage est comprise entre 15°C et 80°C et, de préférence, entre 20 et 60°C.The temperature of the satin-finishing bath is between 15 ° C and 80 ° C and, preferably, between 20 and 60 ° C.
La durée pendant laquelle est maintenue l'action du bain, durée qui dépend de la concentration et de la température et qui doit être suffisante pour aboutir à un décapage d'au moins 5 g/m², est comprise entre 1 minute et 1 heure. Pour des raisons de productivité, le temps de traitement en industrie n'excédera pas, de préférence, environ trente minutes.The time during which the action of the bath is maintained, time which depends on the concentration and the temperature and which must be sufficient to result in a pickling of at least 5 g / m², is between 1 minute and 1 hour. For productivity reasons, the processing time in industry will preferably not exceed about thirty minutes.
Il est avantageux de prévoir, à la suite du décapage acide conforme à l'invention, un décapage complémentaire alcalin léger réalisé selon un procédé en lui-même connu et tel qu'il conduit à un décapage d'au plus 40 g/m² d'aluminium; on peut, par exemple, avoir recours à un bain ayant une température comprise entre 40 et 70°C et contenant, d'une part, entre 10 et 180 g/l d'aluminium (soit entre 30 et 550 g/l d'aluminate de sodium), d'autre part, entre 10 et 150 g/l de soude libre et, d'autre part encore, éventuellement des additifs ayant pour but de maintenir l'aluminium en solution dans le cas des fortes teneurs, comme par exemple des complexants organiques tels que le gluconate et le sorbitol.It is advantageous to provide, following the acid pickling according to the invention, a complementary light alkaline pickling carried out according to a process known per se and such that it leads to pickling of at most 40 g / m² d 'aluminum; one can, for example, use a bath having a temperature between 40 and 70 ° C and containing, on the one hand, between 10 and 180 g / l of aluminum (i.e. between 30 and 550 g / l of sodium aluminate), on the other hand, between 10 and 150 g / l of free sodium hydroxide and, on the other hand, optionally additives intended to keep the aluminum in solution in the case of high contents, such as example of organic complexing agents such as gluconate and sorbitol.

Le bain de décapage alcalin ainsi constitué est mis en oeuvre pendant un temps de 2 à 20 minutes sur les pièces sortant du bain de décapage acide.The alkaline pickling bath thus formed is used for a period of 2 to 20 minutes on the parts coming out of the acid pickling bath.

La température du bain de décapage acide est de 30°C.The temperature of the acid pickling bath is 30 ° C.
Le temps de traitement est choisi pour avoir un décapage d'environ 25 g/m².The treatment time is chosen to have a pickling of approximately 25 g / m².
On a donc procédé à 8 expériences comparatives en utilisant successivement les bains b1 et b8.We therefore carried out 8 comparative experiments using successively baths b1 and b8.
L'étape 5 met en oeuvre un bain de satinage permanent dont les caractéristiques sont:
- soude libre
- environ 100 g/l
- aluminium
- environ 140 g/l
- température
- 60°C.
- free soda
- about 100 g / l
- aluminum
- about 140 g / l
- temperature
- 60 ° C.
Le temps de traitement dans ce bain et lorsque les bains de décapage acide sont ceux appelés b1 à b6, est celui nécessaire pour avoir un taux de décapage d'environ 25 g/m².The treatment time in this bath and when the acid pickling baths are those called b1 to b6, is that necessary to have a pickling rate of approximately 25 g / m².
Ce temps n'est pas respecté pour les expériences témoin mettant en oeuvre les bains b1 et b8:
- . ainsi dans l'expérience mettant en oeuvre le bain b7, on maintient l'action du bain alcalin de l'étape 5 pendant un temps suffisant pour obtenir un décapage d'environ 50 g/m², comparable au cumul des décapages acide et alcalin des expériences 1 à 6, et
- . dans l'expérience mettant en oeuvre le bain b8, on procède selon la pratique actuelle sur les lignes d'oxydation anodique de l'aluminium, à savoir un satinage alcalin classique d'environ 18 à 20 minutes qui se traduit par un décapage d'environ 80 à 90 g/m² d'aluminium.
- . thus in the experiment using bath b7, the action of the alkaline bath of step 5 is maintained for a time sufficient to obtain a pickling of approximately 50 g / m², comparable to the cumulative acid pickling. and alkaline from experiments 1 to 6, and
- . in the experiment using bath b8, the procedure is carried out according to current practice on the anodic oxidation lines of aluminum, namely a conventional alkaline satin-finish of approximately 18 to 20 minutes which results in a pickling of about 80 to 90 g / m² of aluminum.
Les résultats enregistrés sont rassemblés dans le Tableau II.
On sait, et ce point est confirmé par les expériences mettant en oeuvre les bains b7 et b8, qu'il suffit d'augmenter le taux de décapage dans le bain de satinage alcalin pour diminuer la brillance.It is known, and this point is confirmed by the experiments using the baths b7 and b8, that it suffices to increase the rate of pickling in the alkaline satin-finishing bath to reduce the gloss.
Il résulte du Tableau II qu'avec un taux de décapage global compris entre 40 et 50 g/m² obtenu par mise en oeuvre d'un bain conforme à l'invention suivi par un bain de satinage alcalin classique, la brillance mesurée selon la norme ISO 7668 (à 60°) sur les profilés après blanchiment est inférieure à celle obtenue dans l'expérience mettant en oeuvre le bain b8 (art antérieur) pour des taux de décapage classiques de l'ordre de 80-90 g/m². L'aspect des pièces obtenues avec le procédé conforme à l'invention est comparable, voire meilleur que celui des pièces obtenues avec le procédé alcalin seul, et ceci pour un taux de décapage global inférieur de moitié. L'expérience mettant en jeu le bain à base de HBF₄ (b6) qui donne également une meilleure brillance doit être écartée car nécessitant un temps d'action incompatible avec une utilisation industrielle, ce temps étant supérieur à 1 heure 10 minutes alors que l'ensemble des expériences effectuées avec les bains b1 à b5 a été réalisé avec un trempage d'au plus 40 minutes des pièces dans le bain de décapage acide.It results from Table II that with an overall pickling rate of between 40 and 50 g / m² obtained by using a bath in accordance with the invention followed by a conventional alkaline satin-finishing bath, the gloss measured according to the standard ISO 7668 (at 60 °) on the profiles after bleaching is lower than that obtained in the experiment using the b8 bath (prior art) for rates conventional pickling in the range of 80-90 g / m². The appearance of the parts obtained with the process according to the invention is comparable, or even better than that of the parts obtained with the alkaline process alone, and this for an overall pickling rate less than half. The experiment involving the HBF₄-based bath (b6), which also gives better shine, should be discarded because it requires an action time incompatible with industrial use, this time being greater than 1 hour 10 minutes while the all the experiments carried out with baths b1 to b5 were carried out with the parts being soaked for not more than 40 minutes in the acid pickling bath.
Les bains à base de HF (b4) et de HPF₆ (b5) donnent des résultats médiocres.Baths based on HF (b4) and HPF₆ (b5) give poor results.
Des profilés en aluminium série 6063 sont traités comme indiqué à l'exemple 1.Series 6063 aluminum profiles are treated as shown in Example 1.
Pour l'étape 3, on utilise les bains b1 et b9 à b14 définis dans le Tableau III.
Les bains b1 et b9 à b14 sont mis en oeuvre à 30°C et pendant le temps nécessaire pour provoquer sur les pièces traitées une perte de poids de l'ordre de 25 g/m². Ces bains sont utilisés respectivement pour réaliser les expériences 1 et 9 à 14 dont les résultats sont réunis dans le Tableau IV.
La plus grande efficacité est obtenue avec les bains à base des acides sulfurique, nitrique et phosphorique. L'acide chlorhydrique induit des défauts d'aspect.The greatest efficiency is obtained with baths based on sulfuric, nitric and phosphoric acids. Hydrochloric acid induces appearance defects.
Les acides organiques n'apportent pas, dans les conditions décrites ci-dessus, une amélioration sensible de la matité.Organic acids do not bring, under the conditions described above, a significant improvement in dullness.
On traite des profilés en aluminium série 6063 en procédant comme à l'exemple 1, mais en faisant varier dans l'étape 3 la concentration en fluorotitanate de potassium K₂TiF₆ ainsi que la température et en examinant l'influence de ces variations sur la vitesse de décapage des pièces en aluminium.Series 6063 aluminum profiles are treated by proceeding as in Example 1, but by varying in step 3 the concentration of potassium fluorotitanate K₂TiF₆ as well as the temperature and by examining the influence of these variations on the speed of pickling of aluminum parts.
On a déterminé le temps nécessaire pour obtenir un taux de décapage d'environ 24 g/m² pour chacune des concentrations en K₂TiF₆ et pour chacune des températures retenues, la concentration en acide sulfurique à 98% étant de 3 ml/l.The time required to obtain a pickling rate of approximately 24 g / m² was determined for each of the K₂TiF₆ concentrations and for each of the temperatures selected, the 98% sulfuric acid concentration being 3 ml / l.
Les résultats sont réunis dans le Tableau V.
A l'examen du Tableau V, il apparaît que la vitesse de décapage de l'aluminium dépend à la fois de la concentration en K₂TiF₆ et de la température. Un bon compromis pour une utilisation industrielle du procédé conforme à l'invention est une concentration en K₂TiF₆ comprise entre 22 et 57 ml/l et une température comprise entre 20 et 40°C.On examination of Table V, it appears that the speed of pickling of aluminum depends on both the K₂TiF₆ concentration and the temperature. A good compromise for industrial use of the process according to the invention is a K₂TiF₆ concentration of between 22 and 57 ml / l and a temperature of between 20 and 40 ° C.
Le temps de traitement se trouve alors compris entre six minutes et environ trente minutes, temps facilement gérable sur une ligne de production.The processing time is then between six minutes and about thirty minutes, time easily manageable on a production line.
On traite des profilés en aluminium en procédant comme à l'exemple 1, à l'exception des étapes 5, 6, 7 et 8 qui sont omises.Aluminum profiles are treated in the same way as in Example 1, with the exception of steps 5, 6, 7 and 8 which are omitted.
Le bain de décapage acide (étape 3) utilisé est constitué par le bain bl décrit dans l'exemple 1. Sa température de travail est de 30°C et le temps de trempage est de 15 minutes.The acid pickling bath (step 3) used consists of the bath bl described in example 1. Its working temperature is 30 ° C. and the soaking time is 15 minutes.
La matité des profilés, mesurée après l'étape 4 suivant la norme ISO 7668 (à 60°) est de 22; cette matité est comparable à celle obtenue dans les expériences effectuées avec les bains b1 à b3 de l'exemple 1 et nettement améliorée par rapport à celle obtenue dans les expériences effectuées avec les bains b7 et b8 témoins de l'exemple 1.The mattness of the profiles, measured after step 4 according to ISO standard 7668 (at 60 °) is 22; this mattness is comparable to that obtained in the experiments carried out with baths b1 to b3 of Example 1 and significantly improved compared to that obtained in the experiments carried out with the control baths b7 and b8 of Example 1.
De plus, la matité, mesurée suivant la même méthode à l'issue de l'étape 12, est de 5, c'est-à-dire nettement améliorée par rapport à la matité mesurée dans les mêmes conditions suivant l'expérience 8 de l'exemple 1 et qui se situe industriellement à 12-15.In addition, the dullness, measured according to the same method at the end of step 12, is 5, that is to say markedly improved compared to the dullness measured under the same conditions according to experiment 8 of Example 1 and which is industrially 12-15.
