Definitions
- the invention relates to a wetting and emulsifier-free, aqueous pickling agent for stainless steel based on sulfuric acid or phosphoric acid and hydrogen fluoride.
- pickling agents various acids or acid mixtures (pickling agents) in order to remove corrosion products and e.g. B. to remove scaling or tarnishing that has occurred during welding.
- the pickling agent can be used as a bath pickle or - especially for large parts or local oxide formation - as a spray pickle or as a brush pickle.
- the most important acids or acid mixtures for pickling stainless steels are hydrofluoric acid, hydrofluoric acid / nitric acid, hydrofluoric acid / sulfuric acid with some considerable additions of iron III compounds already in the starting phase of the pickling agent.
- Some of the pickling agents contain hydrogen peroxide, with the help of which the iron II ions which go through the pickling attack in the solution are oxidized to iron III ions. Examples of such mordants are in WO 87/01 739, DE-A-38 25 857, DE-A-44 17 284, EP-A-505 605 and EP-A-596 273.
- the known pickling agents have various disadvantages.
- the low pickling speed is often a disadvantage, and too high a pickling speed can also have a disadvantage if cycle times are specified in the pickling system. This applies in particular to hydrofluoric acid / nitric acid mordants.
- these pickling agents with high acid concentrations, vapors which are hazardous to health emerge from the pickling baths and must be suctioned off and treated in a washing system. Because of the high solubility of the nitrates, it is also difficult to treat the rinsing water and waste water from the pickling process.
- Sulfuric acid / hydrofluoric acid / hydrogen peroxide which are used in diving and for which it is generally necessary to maintain a certain redox potential, are comparatively complex in terms of process management, so that they are not considered, particularly for smaller pickling plants. Further disadvantages are that the hydrogen peroxide decomposes relatively easily in the mordant and with a low peroxide addition, only a slow oxide dissolution, ie low pickling rate, is obtained.
- Another method consists in so-called degreasing and pickling iron-containing or consisting of objects. It works with solutions containing acids, wetting agents and / or emulsifiers as well as aromatic, water-soluble nitro compounds, such as e.g. Nitrobenzenesulfonate, contain (DE-A-25 07 059). Embadige degreasing and pickling inevitably leads to the entry of oils or fats in the pickling bath, as a result of which the pickling process is influenced in an incalculable manner. In particular, the formation of a uniform pickling pattern is prevented. The content of wetting agents and / or emulsifying agents also complicates the treatment of the rinsing and waste water obtained in the pickling process.
- US Pat. No. 2,698,781 discloses a process known as a metal dissolver which uses aqueous strong acids containing an aromatic nitro compound. Taking the examples into account, this method is primarily intended for the treatment of nickel-plated copper as well as copper and lead. Only one example describes the pickling of stainless steels with a pickling bath containing sulfuric acid, m-nitro-benzenesulfonic acid and hydrofluoric acid, the sulfuric acid concentration being 200 g / l. Pickling baths with such a high sulfuric acid concentration, however, work comparatively slowly, so that the throughput is low.
- the object of the invention is to provide an aqueous pickling agent for stainless steel which does not have the known, in particular the aforementioned disadvantages, and which is simple and inexpensive to carry out in terms of process.
- the object is achieved by formulating the mordant of the type mentioned at the outset in accordance with the invention in such a way that (in each case as 100% by weight substance) 1.5 to 16% by weight sulfuric acid or 2.0 to 30% by weight .-% phosphoric acid and 0.5 to 14 wt .-% hydrogen fluoride and 0.5 to 15.5 wt .-% acid-soluble aromatic nitro compound, to which no iron III compound is supplied and which only oxidizes iron II to iron III in the starting phase Oxidizing agents can be added.
- the pickling agent according to the invention used to carry out the pickling process can in principle also be used in the starting phase without iron II to oxidize oxidizing agent to iron III.
- the pickling agent according to the invention can be used as a bath pickle, as a spray pickle or as a pickle pickle.
- a mordant which, in its application as a bath stain, contains 5.0 to 11% by weight sulfuric acid or 8.0 to 20% by weight phosphoric acid and 4.0 to 10% by weight hydrogen fluoride and contains 4.5 to 11% by weight of acid-soluble aromatic nitro compound.
- the pickling agent with the aforementioned concentration ranges is characterized by a sufficiently high pickling rate without the base material being attacked. In addition, it is particularly inexpensive in terms of cost.
- the pickling agent When used as a spray or pice pickle, the pickling agent preferably contains 2.5 to 5.5% by weight of magnesium compound (calculated as Mg).
- the pickling agent is converted into em thixotropic gel by adding magnesium in the amounts mentioned. This ensures that a sufficient quantity of the pickling agent required for the pickling process is applied. It is particularly advantageous to add the magnesium in metallic form, as magnesium oxide, hydroxide, carbonate or sulfate.
- a preferred embodiment of the invention provides that the mordant in its use as spray mordant with a content of 9.5 to 15.5% by weight sulfuric acid or 15.0 to 30.0% by weight phosphoric acid, and 4.0 to 11 , 0 wt .-% hydrogen fluoride, 4.5 to 11.5 wt .-% acid-soluble aromatic nitro compound and 2.5 up to 4.5 wt .-% magnesium Veromdung (calculated as Mg) to use.
- the mordant contains 12.0 to 16.0 wt.% Sulfuric acid or 18.0 to 30.0 wt. - Phosphoric acid and 4.5 to 12.0 Gev ⁇ . - i hydrogen fluoride, 2.5 to 9.5% by weight! acid-soluble aromatic nitro compound and 3.0 to 5.5% by weight; Magnesium v ⁇ rbm ⁇ ung (calculated as Mg).
- Suitable acid-soluble aromatic nitro compounds are those which have at least one nitro and at least one acid group, in particular a carboxyl or sulfonic acid group, on the benzene ring. It is particularly advantageous to use m-nitrobenzenesulfonate and / or 3-nitrophthalate as the acid-soluble aromatic nitro compound.
- the temperatures at which the mordants according to the invention are used vary depending on the type of application. When used as a bath stain, they are set to a value in the range of 15 to 80 ° C.
- the pickling time is 5 to 90 mm, depending on the degree of scaling or oxide coating on the pickling material, the shorter pickling times for the higher pickling temperatures and the longer pickling times for the lower pickling temperatures.
- the pickling temperatures are usually determined by the prevailing room or ambient temperatures. They are generally between 15 and 35 ° C.
- the required pickling time is about 15 to 180 mm.
- the pickling process is simple and inexpensive in terms of process feasible.
- the desired and moderate pickling removal achieved with the pickling agent according to the invention light velvety surfaces are achieved.
- the treatment of the winding and wastewater is easy because the
- Calcium compounds can be precipitated and separated.
- metal-pure sheets of stainless steel quality 1.4541 and 1.4462 were treated for one hour at 30 ° C in the mordant systems listed in the table below.
- The% figures are to be understood as% by weight.
- the plate pairs were spaced 2 minutes apart. optically checked for descaling of the weld seam and removal of tarnish.
- the pair of sheets made of material 1.4511 was after 10 min., That of material 1.4462 after 24 min. clean.
- the clear, viscous liquid obtained was sprayed onto steel grade 1.4301 sheets, which had a hand-drawn weld, with a pressure of 6 bar.
- the obtained 1 to 2 mm thick film flowed not on vertical surfaces due to its thixotropy.
- the spray stain was rinsed off.
- the weld was descaled. The entire sheet surface was uniformly light and weakly stained.
- the result was a non-flowable, opaque paste that was applied with a brush to the weld seam of a sheet of stainless steel quality 1.4571 with a thickness of 2 to 3 mm.
- the pickling paste was rinsed off and the weld seam was sprayed off with a sharp water jet.
- the weld seam was bright and bare, the oxide layer completely removed and the base material free of any visible pickling attack.
