Wittel: "Moderne Zinkphosphatierverfahren-Niedrig-Zink-Technik", Industrie-Lackierbetrieb, 5/83, Seite 169 und 6/83, Seite 210).A special design of the phosphating process is the so-called low-zinc processes. The used here Phosphating solutions contain zinc in concentrations of only about 0.4 to 1.7 g / l and produce phosphate layers especially on steel with a high proportion of phosphophyllite, which has better paint adhesion and a higher resistance to paint infiltration Corrosion stress offers than it does in the generation of Phosphate layers based on Hopeit from phosphating solutions with higher Zinc content is common. (DE-A-22 32 067, EP-A-15 021, EP-A-39 093, EP-A-56 881, EP-A-64 790, K. Wittel: "Modern Zinc Phosphating Process-Low-Zinc Technology", Industrial paint shop, 5/83, pages 169 and 6/83, page 210).

Eine vergleichsweise neue Entwicklung stellen Phosphatierverfahren dar, die in der Fachwelt als Trikation-Verfahren bezeichnet werden. Hierbei handelt es sich um Niedrigzink-Phosphatierverfahren, bei denen durch Mitverwendung von Nickel in z.B. Mengen von 0,3 - 2,0 g/l und Mangan in Mengen von z.B. 0,5 - 1,5 g/l Phosphatüberzüge erhalten werden, die sich durch eine erhöhte Alkalibeständigkeit auszeichnen und mithin für die kathodische Elektrotauchlackierung, insbesondere von Autokarosserien, von Bedeutung sind. (EP-A-135 622, Tab. 1 u 3).A comparatively new development are phosphating processes, which are referred to in the professional world as the trication method. Here are low-zinc phosphating processes in which Use of nickel in e.g. Quantities of 0.3 - 2.0 g / l and manganese in Amounts of e.g. 0.5-1.5 g / l phosphate coatings are obtained which are characterized by increased alkali resistance and therefore for the cathodic electrocoating, in particular of Car bodies are important. (EP-A-135 622, tab. 1 and 3).

Ein weiteres Trikation-Verfahren sieht vor, die Konzentrationen von Nickel auf einen Wert zwischen etwa 80 und 94 Mol-%, von Mangan zwischen etwa 0,5 und 10 Mol-% und von Zink zwischen etwa 5,5 und 19,5 Mol-% (bezogen auf die Summe der Kationen) einzustellen. Dabei sollen der Gehalt an Gesamt-Säure 10 bis 40 Punkte, der an Freier Säure 0,5 bis 2 Punkte und das Verhältnis Gesamt-Säure zu Freier Säure 10 bis 60 betragen (US-A-4596607).Another trication method provides for the concentrations of nickel to a value between about 80 and 94 mol%, of manganese between about 0.5 and 10 mol% and zinc between about 5.5 and 19.5 mol% (based to the sum of the cations). The content of Total acidity 10 to 40 points, the free acidity 0.5 to 2 points and the ratio of total acid to free acid is 10 to 60 (US-A-4596607).

Speziell für die Phosphatierung von elektrolytisch verzinktem oder schmelztauchverzinktem Stahlband sind Verfahren entwickelt worden, die die Ausbildung einer Phosphatschicht entsprechend dem Trikation-Verfahren innerhalb einer Kontaktzeit von 2 - 30 sec gestatten. (WO 91/02829)Especially for the phosphating of electrolytically galvanized or Hot-dip galvanized steel strip processes have been developed the formation of a phosphate layer corresponding to the Trication procedure within a contact time of 2 - 30 sec allow. (WO 91/02829)

Den vorgenannten Phosphatierverfahren ist gemeinsam, daß die Phosphatierungslösung im Tauchen, Fluten oder Spritzen mit den zu Phosphatierungslösung im Tauchen, Fluten oder Spritzen mit den zu behandelnden Werkstückoberflächen in Berührung gebracht wird. Nach erfolgter chemischer Reaktion und Ausbildung der festverwachsenen, kritallinen Phosphatschicht bedarf es zwecks Entfernung von auf der Oberfläche verbleibenden Phosphatierchemikalien einer Spülbehandlung, die üblicherweise in mehreren Stufen durchgeführt wird. Hierdurch fallen Spüllösungen an, die in dieser Form nicht entsorgt werden können, sondern einer Abwasseraufbereitung zugeführt werden müssen.The aforementioned phosphating process has in common that the Phosphating solution in dipping, flooding or spraying with the Phosphating solution in dipping, flooding or spraying with the treating workpiece surfaces is brought into contact. After chemical reaction and formation of the firmly integrated, Critalline phosphate layer is required for the removal of on the Surface remaining phosphating chemicals of a rinsing treatment, which is usually carried out in several stages. Hereby there are rinsing solutions that are not disposed of in this form can, but must be sent to a wastewater treatment plant.

Es hat zwar diverse Vorschläge gegeben, die Spülwassermengen zu reduzieren oder aber ganz zu eliminieren, so ist beispielsweise die Spülung in einer sogenannten Spülwasserkaskade mit einer erheblichen Reduktion des anfallenden Spülwassers verbunden. Eine Aufarbeitung der auch in verringerter Menge anfallenden Spülwässer ist jedoch unvermeidlich. Zwecks Vermeidung von Spülwässern ist vorgeschlagen worden, ein Zinkphosphatierverfahren anzuwenden, dessen Phosphatierungslösungen in der Weise zusammengesetzt sind, daß sich praktisch alle Komponenten mit Kalziumhydroxid ausfällen lassen. Auf diese Weise wird die Spülwasseraufbereitung wesentlich erleichtert, und gleichzeitig besitzt das Verfahren den Vorzug, daß Wasser mit ausreichend guter Qualität für den Prozeß wiedergewonnen werden kann. (DE-C-23 27 304). Nachteilig bei einer derartigen Verfahrensführung ist jedoch, daß durch die aufgestellte Forderung der Fällbarkeit der Bestandteile der Phosphatierungslösung die Freiheit für die Anpassung der Zusammensetzung der Phosphatierungslösung an die Praxisbedürfnisse stark eingeschränkt ist. Schließlich sind Verfahren zur Erzeugung eines Konversionsüberzuges bekannt, bei denen nach einer eventuell erforderlichen Reinigung und Wasserspülung Überzugslösungen aufgebracht und anschließend aufgetrocknet werden. Die Applikation der Behandlungslösung kann dabei im Tauchen oder Spritzen mit anschließendem Abquetschen der überschüssigen Lösung oder aber durch Walzenauftrag, bei dem nur die erforderliche Flüssigkeitsmenge auf die Metalloberfläche aufgebracht wird, erfolgen. Die sich an die Aufbringung der Behandlungsflüssigkeit anschließende Auftrocknung kann im Prinzip bereits bei Raumtemperatur erfolgen. Im allgemeinen ist es jedoch üblich, höhere Temperaturen anzuwenden, wobei vorzugsweise Temperaturen zwischen 50 und 100°C gewählt werden. Ein derartiges zur Vorbereitung von Metalloberflächen zur anschließenden Beschichtung mit organischen Überzügen bestimmtes Verfahren besteht darin, die Metalloberfläche mit einer Phosphatierungsflüssigkeit zu benetzen, die einen pH-Wert von 1,5 bis 3 aufweist, chromfrei ist und neben Metallphosphat lösliche Molybdat-, Wolframat-, Vanadat-, Niobat- und/oder Tantalat-Ionen enthält (EP-B-15 020). Dabei kann die kationische Komponente des in der Lösung befindlichen Metallphosphats durch Kalzium, Magnesium, Barium, Aluminium, Zink, Cadmium, Eisen, Nickel, Kobalt und/oder Mangan gebildet werden.There have been various suggestions to increase the amount of flushing water reduce or eliminate entirely, for example Rinsing in a so-called rinsing water cascade with a considerable Reduction of the resulting rinse water. A reappraisal of the rinse water also obtained in a reduced amount inevitable. It is proposed to avoid rinsing water been to apply a zinc phosphating process, the Phosphating solutions are composed in such a way that let practically all components precipitate with calcium hydroxide. On in this way the rinse water treatment is made considerably easier, and at the same time the method has the advantage that water with sufficiently good quality can be recovered for the process. (DE-C-23 27 304). A disadvantage of such a procedure is, however, that due to the requirement that the Components of the phosphating solution the freedom for adaptation the composition of the phosphating solution to the Practice needs are severely limited. After all, there are procedures known for generating a conversion coating, in which after any cleaning and water rinsing that may be required Coating solutions are applied and then dried. The treatment solution can be applied while diving or Spray and then squeeze off the excess solution or by roller application, in which only the required Amount of liquid is applied to the metal surface, respectively. Which depends on the application of the treatment liquid subsequent drying can in principle be carried out at room temperature respectively. In general, however, it is common to have higher temperatures apply, preferably temperatures between 50 and 100 ° C. to get voted. One for the preparation of metal surfaces certain for subsequent coating with organic coatings The process consists of using a metal surface To wet phosphating liquid that has a pH of 1.5 to 3, is chromium-free and, in addition to metal phosphate, soluble molybdate, Contains tungstate, vanadate, niobate and / or tantalate ions (EP-B-15 020). The cationic component of the solution metal phosphate by calcium, magnesium, barium, Aluminum, zinc, cadmium, iron, nickel, cobalt and / or manganese be formed.

Ein Nachteil des zuletzt genannten Verfahrens ist, daß infolge der erforderlichen Zusätze Molydat-, Wolframat-, Vanadat-, Niobat- und der Tantalationen das Verfahren kostenmäßig aufwendiger als die herkömmlichen Phosphatierverfahren ist, ein anderer, daß die erhaltenen Phosphatüberzüge nicht allen heute gestellten Anforderungen, z. B. hinsichtlich Alkalibeständigkeit und damit Resistenz bei einer anschließenden kathodischen Elektrotauchlackierung sowie der erwünschten Korrosionsbeständigkeit, insbesondere in Verbindung mit einer anschließenden Lackierung, genügen.A disadvantage of the latter method is that due to the required additives molydate, tungstate, vanadate, niobate and Tantalizations cost more than the process conventional phosphating process, another is that the obtained Phosphate coatings do not meet all requirements today, e.g. B. with regard to alkali resistance and thus resistance to a subsequent cathodic electrocoating and the desired corrosion resistance, especially in connection with a subsequent painting, are sufficient.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, ein Verfahren zum Aufbringen von Phosphatüberzügen auf Oberflächen von Zink, Eisen, Aluminium oder deren Legierungen bereitzustellen, daß die bekannten, insbesondere vorgenannten Nachteile nicht aufweist, dennoch kostengünstig und einfach in der Durchführung ist und zu qualitativ hochwertigen Phosphatüberzügen führt.The object of the invention is to provide a method for applying Phosphate coatings on surfaces of zinc, iron, aluminum or their To provide alloys that are known, in particular does not have the aforementioned disadvantages, yet inexpensive and is simple to implement and of high quality Phosphate coatings leads.

Die Aufgabe wird gelöst, indem das Verfahren der eingangs genannten Art entsprechend der Erfindung derart ausgestaltet wird, daß man die Oberflächen mit einer Phosphatierungslösung, die frei von Elementen der 5. und 6. Nebengruppe des Periodischen Systems der Elemente ist, 0,5 bis 8 g/l Nickel 2 bis 20 g/l Mangan 18 bis 170 g/l Phosphat (berechnet als P2O5) enthält und einen S-Wert von 0,4 bis 0,8 aufweist, in der Weise benetzt, daß nach dem Auftrocknen ein Phosphatschichtgewicht von 0,3 bis 3,0 g/m2 resultiert, wobei die Phosphatierungslösung im Falle der Phosphatierung von Oberflächen aus Eisen, Aluminium oder deren Legierungen notwendigerweise 0,5 bis 5 g/l Zink enthält und im Falle der Phosphatierung von Oberflächen aus Zink oder Zinklegierungen Zinkionen enthalten kann.The object is achieved by designing the method of the type mentioned at the outset in accordance with the invention in such a way that the surfaces are coated with a phosphating solution which is free from elements of the 5th and 6th subgroups of the Periodic Table of the Elements, 0.5 to 8 g / l nickel 2 to 20 g / l manganese 18 to 170 g / l Phosphate (calculated as P 2 O 5 ) contains and has an S value of 0.4 to 0.8, wetted in such a way that a phosphate layer weight of 0.3 to 3.0 g / m 2 results after drying, the phosphating solution in the case of phosphating surfaces from iron, aluminum or their alloys necessarily contains 0.5 to 5 g / l zinc and can contain zinc ions in the case of phosphating surfaces made of zinc or zinc alloys.

Die vorgenannte Formulierung hinsichtlich des Zink-Gehaltes soll zum Ausdruck bringen, daß im Falle der Behandlung von Oberflächen aus Eisen, Aluminium oder deren Legierungen ein Zinkgehalt in den genannten Konzentrationen unerläßlich ist. Bei der Behandlung von Zink oder Zinklegierungsoberflächen kann die Phosphatierungslösung ebenfalls Zink enthalten, jedoch ist ein Zinkgehalt nicht erforderlich. Elemente der 5. und 6. Nebengruppe des Periodischen Systems der Elemente sind Vanadin, Niob, Tantal, Chrom, Molybdän und Wolfram.The aforementioned formulation with regard to the zinc content is said to Express that in the case of treating surfaces Iron, aluminum or their alloys have a zinc content in the mentioned concentrations is essential. In the treatment of Zinc or zinc alloy surfaces can be the phosphating solution also contain zinc, but there is no zinc content required. Elements of the 5th and 6th subgroup of the periodic Systems of elements are vanadium, niobium, tantalum, chrome, and molybdenum Tungsten.

Um zu vermeiden, daß der Phosphatüberzug nach dem Auftrocknen einen Gehalt an wasserlöslichen Verbindungen aufweist, erfolgt die Einstellung des S-Wertes zweckmäßigerweise mit Nickeloxid, Manganoxid oder ggf. Zinkoxid oder aber mit Ammoniaklösung.To prevent the phosphate coating from drying out after drying Has content of water-soluble compounds, the takes place The S value is expediently set using nickel oxide, manganese oxide or possibly zinc oxide or with ammonia solution.

Eine zweckmäßige Ausgestaltung der Erfindung sieht vor, im Falle der Behandlung von Zink oder Zinklegierungen die Oberflächen mit einer Phosphatierungslösung zu benetzen, die zinkfrei ist. In diesem speziellen Fall stammt die zur Überzugsbildung erforderliche Zinkmenge aus der Oberfläche des behandelten Materials.An expedient embodiment of the invention provides, in the case of Treatment of zinc or zinc alloys with a surface To wet the phosphating solution, which is zinc-free. In this In a special case comes the necessary for the formation of the coating Amount of zinc from the surface of the treated material.

Die Benetzung der jeweiligen Metalloberflächen kann z.B. durch Tauchen und anschließendes Abtropfenlassen, durch Übergießen und Abschleudern, durch Bürsten, durch Spritzen mit Preßluft, air-les sowie auf elektrostatischem Wege erfolgen. Eine besonders elegante Methode der Applikation der Phosphatierungslösung erfolgt durch Aufwalzen mit strukturierten oder glatten Walzen im Gleichlauf oder im Gegenlauf.The wetting of the respective metal surfaces can e.g. by Diving and then draining, by pouring over and Spin off, by brushing, by spraying with compressed air, air-les as well as electrostatically. A particularly elegant one The method of application of the phosphating solution is carried out by Rolling with structured or smooth rolls in synchronism or in the opposite direction.

Die sich an die Benetzung der Metalloberfläche anschließende Trocknung kann im Prinzip bereits bei Raumtemperatur erfolgen. Vorteilhaft ist es jedoch, bei höheren Temperaturen zu arbeiten, weil dadurch die Zeit zur Ausbildung der Phosphatschicht erheblich verkürzt wird. Vorzugsweise erfolgt die Auftrocknung bei Temperaturen zwischen 50 und 200°C, wobei jedoch eine Objekttemperatur von 90°C nicht überschritten werden sollte.The one that follows the wetting of the metal surface In principle, drying can take place at room temperature. However, it is advantageous to work at higher temperatures because thereby the time for the formation of the phosphate layer considerably is shortened. Drying is preferably carried out at temperatures between 50 and 200 ° C, but with an object temperature of 90 ° C should not be exceeded.

Eine bevorzugte Weiterbildung der Erfindung besteht darin, die Oberflächen mit einer Phosphatierungslösung zu benetzen, die 0,8 bis 6 g/l Nickel, 3 bis 16 g/l Mangan, 30 bis 140 g/l Phosphat (berechnet als P2O5) sowie im Falle der Phosphatierung von Oberflächen aus Eisen oder Aluminium oder deren Legierungen 0,8 bis 4 g/l Zink enthält. Die vorgenannte Ausführungsform der Erfindung führt zu besonders qualitativ hochwertigen Phosphatüberzügen.A preferred development of the invention consists in wetting the surfaces with a phosphating solution 0.8 to 6 g / l Nickel, 3 to 16 g / l Manganese, 30 to 140 g / l Phosphate (calculated as P 2 O 5 ) and in the case of phosphating surfaces made of iron or aluminum or their alloys contains 0.8 to 4 g / l zinc. The aforementioned embodiment of the invention leads to particularly high quality phosphate coatings.

Eine zusätzliche Verbesserung der Qualität der Phosphatüberzüge ist erreichbar, wenn man gemäß einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung die Oberflächen mit einer Phosphatierungslösung benetzt, die zusätzlich

  • 2 bis 10 g/l SiO2 und
  • 0,05 bis 0,5 g/l Fluorid (ber. als F)
  • enthält. Als SiO2 ist wegen der guten Dispergierbarkeit insbesondere pyrogene Kieselsäure geeignet. Sie wird mit Vorteil in Wasser dispergiert zugegeben. Fluorid wird zweckmäßigerweise in Form von Fluorwasserstoff bzw. deren wäßriger Lösung eingebracht. Diese Zusätze bewirken insbesondere die Ausbildung eines gleichmäßigen und geschlossenen Überzuges, der praktisch nicht zum Kleben neigt.An additional improvement in the quality of the phosphate coatings can be achieved if, according to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the surfaces are wetted with a phosphating solution, which additionally
  • 2 to 10 g / l SiO 2 and
  • 0.05 to 0.5 g / l fluoride (calculated as F)
  • contains. Because of its good dispersibility, pyrogenic silica is particularly suitable as SiO 2 . It is advantageously added dispersed in water. Fluoride is advantageously introduced in the form of hydrogen fluoride or its aqueous solution. These additives in particular bring about the formation of a uniform and closed coating which practically does not tend to stick.

    Weitere vorteilhafte Ausführungsformen der Erfindung bestehen darin, die Oberflächen mit einer Phosphatierungslösung zu benetzen, die einen S-Wert von 0,5 bis 0,7 aufweist bzw. die Oberflächen derart mit der Phosphatierungslösung zu benetzen, daß nach dem Auftrocknen ein Phosphatschichtgewicht von 0,5 bis 2 g/m2 resultiert.Further advantageous embodiments of the invention consist of wetting the surfaces with a phosphating solution which has an S value of 0.5 to 0.7 or wetting the surfaces with the phosphating solution in such a way that after drying a phosphate layer weight of 0, 5 to 2 g / m 2 results.

    Die Einstellung des bevorzugten S-Wertes von 0,5 bis 0,7 ist insbesondere bei der Behandlung von Zinkoberflächen mit zinkfreien Phosphatierungslösungen von Bedeutung, da dann der für den Zinkgehalt des Phosphatüberzuges verantwortliche Beizangriff der Phosphatierungslösung auf die Zinkoberfläche besonders optimal verläuft. Die Ausgestaltung der Erfindung mit Einstellung eines Phosphatüberzugsgewichtes von 0,5 bis 2 g/m2 ermöglicht die Ausbildung des Phosphatüberzuges in besonders kurzer Zeit und zudem von besonders hoher Qualität.The setting of the preferred S value of 0.5 to 0.7 is particularly important in the treatment of zinc surfaces with zinc-free phosphating solutions, since the pickling attack of the phosphating solution on the zinc surface, which is responsible for the zinc content of the phosphate coating, then proceeds particularly optimally. The embodiment of the invention with the setting of a phosphate coating weight of 0.5 to 2 g / m 2 enables the phosphate coating to be formed in a particularly short time and also of particularly high quality.

    Bei Anwendung des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens werden Phosphatschichten erzeugt, die 0,5 bis 3 Gew.-% Nickel 1,5 bis 8 Gew.-% Mangan 1,0 bis 35 Gew.-% Zink 25 bis 40 Gew.-% Phosphat (berechnet als P2O5) enthalten.When using the method according to the invention, phosphate layers are produced which contain 0.5 to 3% by weight of nickel 1.5 to 8% by weight manganese 1.0 to 35% by weight zinc 25 to 40% by weight Phosphate (calculated as P 2 O 5 ) contain.

    Damit eine einwandfreie Benetzung mit der Phosphatierungslösung gewährleistet ist, müssen die Metalloberflächen hinreichend rein sein. Dies ist im allgemeinen der Fall, wenn z. B. Bandmaterial unmittelbar nach der Verzinkung nach dem erfindungsgemäßen Verfahren behandelt wird. Falls die Metalloberfläche jedoch beölt oder verschmutzt ist, ist eine Entfettung bzw. Reinigung mit Hilfe an sich bekannter Verfahren vorzuschalten und anschließend zu spülen.This ensures perfect wetting with the phosphating solution is guaranteed, the metal surfaces must be sufficiently clean be. This is generally the case when e.g. B. tape material immediately after the galvanizing by the method according to the invention is treated. However, if the metal surface is oiled or is dirty, degreasing or cleaning with the help of itself to connect known methods and then to rinse.

    Die beim erfindungsgemäßen Verfahren anzuwendende Phosphatierungslösung wird zweckmäßigerweise mit einer Temperatur im Bereich von 20 bis 80°C eingesetzt. Die Menge der Lösung liegt in der Regel zwischen 2 und 10 ml pro m2 Metalloberfläche. Die Auftrocknung erfolgt - sofern sie unter Wärmeeinwirkung geschieht - praktisch unverzüglich nach dem Benetzen der Oberfläche, d. h. nach einer Einwirkzeit von etwa 0,5 bis 5 sec.The phosphating solution to be used in the process according to the invention is expediently used at a temperature in the range from 20 to 80 ° C. The amount of the solution is usually between 2 and 10 ml per m 2 of metal surface. The drying takes place - if it happens under the influence of heat - practically immediately after wetting the surface, ie after an exposure time of about 0.5 to 5 seconds.

    Mit der vorliegenden Erfindung wird ein Verfahren bereitgestellt, das in der Lage ist, Phosphatüberzüge in Sekundenschnelle zu erzeugen. Ein weiterer Vorteil gegenüber bekannten Verfahren liegt darin, daß eine aktivierende Vorbehandlung vor der Phosphatierung entfallen kann. Die erzeugten Phosphatüberzüge sind insbesondere von hoher Qualität hinsichtlich der Haftvermittlung von nachträglich aufgebrachten Lacken, Kunststoffen oder Klebern. Sie gleichen in ihrer Qualität den mit Hilfe des sog. Trikation-Verfahrens erzeugten Phosphatschichten. Dies ist insofern überraschend als die nach dem erfindungsgemäßen Verfahren erhaltenen Phosphatüberzüge in der Regel amorph sind, wohingegen die nach dem Trikation-Verfahren gebildeten Schichten stets kristallin sind.The present invention provides a method that is able to produce phosphate coatings in a matter of seconds. Another advantage over known methods is that there is no need for an activating pre-treatment before phosphating can. The phosphate coatings produced are particularly high Quality with regard to the provision of detention afterwards applied paints, plastics or adhesives. They are the same their quality is that produced with the help of the so-called trication method Phosphate layers. This is surprising in that the one after Phosphate coatings obtained according to the process of the invention as a rule are amorphous, whereas those formed by the trication method Layers are always crystalline.

    Ein weiterer wesentlicher Vorteil der Erfindung besteht darin, daß Phosphatschichten erzeugt werden, die das Umformverhalten der so behandelten Metalle deutlich verbessert, ohne daß dadurch die Schweißbarkeit wesentlich beeinträchtigt wird.Another significant advantage of the invention is that Phosphate layers are generated that change the forming behavior of the so treated metals significantly improved without the Weldability is significantly affected.

    Die mit dem erfindungsgemäßen Verfahren erzeugten Phosphatüberzüge sind auf allen Gebieten, auf denen Phosphatüberzüge angewendet werden, gut einsetzbar. Ein besonders vorteilhafter Anwendungsfall liegt in der Vorbereitung der Metalloberflächen für die anschließende Lackierung, insbesondere die Elektrotauchlackierung.The phosphate coatings produced by the process according to the invention are good in all areas where phosphate coatings are applied applicable. A particularly advantageous application is in Preparation of the metal surfaces for the subsequent painting, especially electrocoating.

    Von besonders herausragender Bedeutung ist das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren für seine Anwendung auf die Phosphatierung von verzinkten oder legierungsverzinkten Stahlbändern. Unter der Bezeichnung verzinktes oder legierungsverzinktes Stahlband werden Bänder verstanden, die eine Auflage von Elektroytzink (ZE), Feuerzink (Z), Legierungen auf Basis Zink/Nickel (ZNE), Zink/Eisen (ZF) oder Zink/Aluminium (ZA bzw. AZ) aufweisen. Zu letzeren werden üblicherweise auch Legierungen mit z. B. 55 Gew.-% Al und 45 Gew.-% Zn gezählt.The invention is particularly important Process for its application to the phosphating of galvanized or galvanized steel strips. Under the label Galvanized or alloy galvanized steel strips become strips understood that an edition of Elektroytzink (ZE), Feuerzink (Z), Alloys based on zinc / nickel (ZNE), zinc / iron (ZF) or Zinc / aluminum (ZA or AZ). The latter are usually also alloys with e.g. B. 55 wt .-% Al and 45 wt .-% Zn counted.

    Die Erfindung wird anhand der nachfolgenden Beispiele beispielsweise und näher erläutert.The invention is illustrated by the examples below and explained in more detail.

    Die in den Beispielen genannten Werte für Freie Säure und Gesamtsäure wurden wie folgt bestimmt:The values for free acid and total acid given in the examples were determined as follows:

    Zur Bestimmung der Freien Säure wird 1 ml Badlösung nach Verdünnung auf ca. 50 ml mit destilliertem Wasser, gegebenenfalls unter Zusatz von K3(Co(CN)6) oder K4(Fe(CN)6) zwecks Beseitigung störender Metallkationen, unter Verwendung von Dimethylgelb als Indikator mit n/10 NaOH bis zum Umschlag von rosa nach gelb titriert. Die verbrauchten ml n/10 NaOH ergeben die Freie Säure. Es entspricht 1 ml n/10 Natronlauge 7,098 mg freies P2O5. To determine the free acid, 1 ml bath solution after dilution to approx. 50 ml with distilled water, optionally with the addition of K 3 (Co (CN) 6 ) or K 4 (Fe (CN) 6 ) to remove interfering metal cations, is used titrated from dimethyl yellow as an indicator with n / 10 NaOH to a change from pink to yellow. The ml n / 10 NaOH consumed give the free acid. It corresponds to 1 ml of n / 10 caustic soda, 7.098 mg of free P 2 O 5 .

    Die Gesamtpunktezahl (GS) wird ermittelt, indem 1 ml der Phosphatierungslösung nach Verdünnung mit Wasser auf etwa 50 ml unter Verwendung von Phenolphthalein als Indikator bis zum Farbumschlag von farblos nach rot titriert wird. Die Anzahl der hierfür verbrauchten ml n/10 Natronlauge ergeben die Gesamtpunktezahl.The total score (GS) is determined by using 1 ml of the Phosphating solution after dilution with water to about 50 ml Use of phenolphthalein as an indicator until the color changes from titrated colorless to red. The number of used for this ml n / 10 sodium hydroxide solution give the total number of points.

    Der sogenannte S-Wert ergibt sich durch Division der Freien Säure durch das Gesamt-P2O5. Hierbei wird das Gesamt-P2O5 bestimmt, indem im Anschluß an die Ermittlung der Freien Säure die Titrationslösung nach Zugabe von 20 ml 30-%-iger neutraler Kaliumoxalatlösung gegen Phenolphthalein als Indikator bis zum Umschlag von farblos nach rot mit n/10 NaOH titriert wird. Der Verbrauch an ml n/10 NaOH zwischen dem Umschlag mit Dimethylgelb und dem Umschlag mit Phenolphthalein ergibt das Gesamt-P2O5. (Vgl. W. Rausch "Die Phosphatierung von Metallen "Eugen G. Leuze-Verlag 1988, S. 300ff)The so-called S value is obtained by dividing the free acid by the total P 2 O 5 . Here, the total P 2 O 5 is determined by, after the determination of the free acid, the titration solution after adding 20 ml of 30% strength neutral potassium oxalate solution against phenolphthalein as an indicator until the color changes to red with n / 10 NaOH is titrated. The consumption of ml n / 10 NaOH between the envelope with dimethyl yellow and the envelope with phenolphthalein gives the total P 2 O 5 . (See W. Rausch "The Phosphating of Metals" Eugen G. Leuze-Verlag 1988, p. 300ff)

    Beispiel 1:Example 1:

    Unmittelbar im Anschluß an die Schmelztauchverzinkung von Stahlband wurde auf die noch 35°C warme Bandoberfläche eine Phosphatierungslösung aufgebracht, die folgende Bestandteile - in vollentsalztem Wasser aufgelöst - enthielt. Phosphat 69 g/l (berechnet als P2O5) Mangan 7,5 g/l Nickel 2,7 g/l Immediately after the hot-dip galvanizing of steel strip, a phosphating solution was applied to the strip surface, which was still 35 ° C., and contained the following components - dissolved in deionized water. phosphate 69 g / l (calculated as P 2 O 5 ) manganese 7.5 g / l nickel 2.7 g / l

    Die Phosphatierungslösung hatte eine Temperatur von 25°C, einen pH-Wert von 1,7 und einen S-Wert von 0,6. Es betrugen der Gehalt an Freier Säure 5,9 ml, an Gesamtsäure 17,1 ml.The phosphating solution had a temperature of 25 ° C, one pH value of 1.7 and an S value of 0.6. The content was Free acid 5.9 ml, total acid 17.1 ml.

    Die Application der Phosphatierungslösung erfolgte mit Hilfe einer Walzenbeschichtungsmaschine (Rollcoater), wie sie auch zur Bandlackierung verwendet wird. Der hierbei aufgebrachte Naßfilm von 5 ml Phosphatierungslösung pro m2 Metalloberfläche wurde nach einer Einwirkzeit von 2 sec in einem Durchlaufofen bei 200°C aufgetrocknet. Beim Verlassen des Ofens hatte das Band eine Objekttemperatur von 60°C. The phosphating solution was applied with the help of a roll coating machine (roll coater), as is also used for coil coating. The wet film of 5 ml of phosphating solution per m 2 of metal surface applied was dried in a continuous oven at 200 ° C. after an exposure time of 2 seconds. When leaving the furnace, the belt had an object temperature of 60 ° C.

    Der aufgebrachte Phosphatüberzug war gleichmäßig, geschlossen und hatte ein Trockenschichtgewicht von

  • 1,1 g/m2. Er enthielt 30 Gew.-% P2O5, 20 Gew.-% Zink,
  • 3,5 Gew.-% Mangan und 1,4 Gew.-% Nickel.
  • Das nach dem erfindungsgemäßen Verfahren mit einem Phosphatüberzug versehene Band zeigte ein hervorragendes Verhalten bei der Verformung, sowohl im lackierten als auch im unlackierten Zustand. Auch entsprachen die Haftungs- und Korrosionsschutzwerte von nachträglich aufgebrachten organiscnen Beschichtungen den heute üblichen Anforderungen.The phosphate coating applied was uniform, closed and had a dry layer weight of
  • 1.1 g / m 2 . It contained 30% by weight of P 2 O 5 , 20% by weight of zinc,
  • 3.5% by weight of manganese and 1.4% by weight of nickel.
  • The tape provided with a phosphate coating by the process according to the invention showed an excellent behavior during the deformation, both in the painted and in the unpainted state. The adhesion and corrosion protection values of subsequently applied organic coatings also met today's requirements.

    Das nach dem erfindungsgemäßen Verfahren phosphatierte Band kann auch den im Automobilwerk üblichen Verfahrensgang durchlaufen. Das heißt, es können zunächst in üblicher Weise die einzelnen Karosserieteile geformt und durch Schweißen unter Ausbildung der Karosserie zusammengesetzt werden und danach die Behandlungsanlage Reinigen-Spülen-Aktivieren-Phosphatieren-Spülen-Nachspülen passieren. Hierbei erfolgt die Phosphatierung während einer Behandlungszeit von 3,5 min und einer Temperatur der Phosphatierungslösung von 52°C. Die Zusammensetzung der Phosphatierungslösung ist: 14 g/l Phosphat (berechnet als P2O5) 1,4 g/l Zink 1,0 g/l Mangan 1,0 g/l Nickel 70 mg/l Natriumnitrit 185 mg/l freies Fluorid. The strip phosphated by the process according to the invention can also pass through the process usual in the automotive plant. This means that the individual body parts can first be shaped and assembled by welding to form the body and then pass the treatment system cleaning-rinsing-activating-phosphating-rinsing-rinsing.
