Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for measuring the corrosion resistance of Tinplate.
- tinplate For the production of containers for food from tinplate, such as Beverage cans, tinplate are required, which is a tasteless Preservation and high storage stability enable. Such containers are especially in the case of beverage cans, in a deep drawing and ironing process (also draw-wall-ironing process or DWI process for short) painted on the inside. These days, water-based paints are usually used used, which are applied in the spin spray process. For storage stability is in addition to the painting quality, the quality of the tinplate used by Importance.
- DE 35 11 706 A1 describes a method for testing protective layers Metal parts, also for testing the corrosion resistance of metal parts can be seen in which a sample of the metal part is exposed to an acidic electrolyte and the peak voltage occurring during a constant current pulse is detected.
- DE 30 08 611 A1 describes a method for identifying defects in the ground Metal pipes described in which the potential of the pipe to be examined against a reference electrode is measured, the comparison values from a Calibration series are taken, which by measuring the potential flawless Pipes against the same reference electrode was determined.
- Figure 1 shows the influence of different tinplate qualities with poor Painting based on the perforation of the paint layer of DWI cans in one Storage trial after six months.
- the perforation rate gives the share damaged cans.
- increases in particular poor painting quality the perforation rate with inferior tinplate qualities clearly too.
- electrochemicals are used to check finished cans Investigation methods, such as so-called Enamel-Rater measurement methods.
- Enamel-Rater measurement methods As with the storage test described above, this is also a question of an examination of the composite system "finished DWI beverage can", i.e. an investigation of an end product that is already coated on the inside at the end of a manufacturing process.
- an anodic one takes place Polarization of the finished beverage can in a sodium sulfate electrolyte, the one Wetting agent is added.
- the current flowing during polarization is used as the measured variable detected.
- this method is disadvantageous in that that it is only the detection of gross defects, such as pores or mechanical injuries, allowed.
- the measuring method for the storage behavior of the can is little meaningful, since it is only used to assess the manufacturing process of the can serves.
- the measurement is carried out on the already painted, complete finished can, so that this procedure for statements about the quality of the Tinplate is not suitable in terms of its corrosion behavior.
- the invention has for its object to provide a measurement method at a very early stage in a manufacturing process precise information about the corrosion behavior of the respective tinplate allowed.
- this enables inventive method the determination of the quality of the starting material for the Can production and thus allows conclusions to be drawn about the corrosion resistance of the Tinplate and thus towards the storage stability of the finished beverage can.
- the Measurement is based on the explained calibration due to high reproducibility excellent.
- the method according to the invention can be based on the manufacturing process the beverage can at a very early point in time, namely immediately after the production of the starting material, i.e. of tinplate. So there is Possibility to regulate the manufacturing process of tinplate parts relatively early How to intervene in beverage cans to ensure a sufficiently high storage stability guarantee and inferior sheet quality even before the actual forming to sort out the parts or cans.
- the calibration samples a compensating curve (fit curve) and measured by means of this and the surface potential measured in the test sample Surface reaction value of the test sample determined.
- the polarization takes place with a constant current density in the range from 10 to 1000 ⁇ A / cm 2 .
- FIG shown measurement setup used.
- This comprises a measuring cell 1 with a synthetic electrolytes protrude into the 3 electrodes 2, 3, 4.
- One of these Electrodes serve as the working electrode 2, in their place one to be examined Tinplate sample, namely either a calibration sample or one to be tested Tinplate sample (test sample) is arranged.
- the working electrode 2 is on the cathode a constant current generator 5 connected.
- the working electrode 2 and the Reference electrodes 3 are each provided with a device 6 (XT recorder) for detection of the voltage curve coupled over a certain period of time.
- XT recorder device 6
- the electrolyte in the measuring cell 1 is based on a fruit acid, suitably one Citric acid. It can advantageously contain 1 to 5% citric acid.
- the pH of the electrolyte should be less than 4 and preferably in the pH range from 2 to 3.
- each of these different Tinplate samples are dependent on the corrosion resistance determined by means of the perforation rates is different high value assigned, which here as the surface reaction value or "Steelsurface Reactive Value "(SRV).
- the following assignments have been made: Calibration sample A with a perforation rate of 120% o becomes an SRV of 80 assigned, calibration sample B with a perforation rate of 40% or an SRV of 35, Calibration sample C with a perforation rate of 4% o an SRV of 5 and calibration sample D with a perforation rate of 1.5 ⁇ an SRV of 2. This assignment is also in Figure 4 shown.
- tinplate calibration samples Before the tinplate calibration samples are brought into the measurement set-up according to FIG. 2, they must first be carefully degreased and tin-plated. This also applies to the tinplate samples (test samples) to be tested, whose corrosion resistance is to be checked. Calibration samples are first degreased in a 5 percent sodium carbonate solution. The surface to be tested is cathodically polarized with a voltage of 3 V over a period of 30 to 45 seconds. After this degreasing, the surface is stripped in an alkaline potassium iodate solution (40 to 60 g / l NaOH; 7 - 15 g / l KIO 3 ) at a temperature of 50 ° C over a period of 30 to 80 in a further operation Seconds. The calibration samples are then washed first with tap water and then with distilled water and with alcohol and dried with a hair dryer.
- alkaline potassium iodate solution 40 to 60 g / l NaOH; 7 - 15
- the calibration samples prepared in this way are used one after the other as working electrodes 2 in the measurement setup shown in FIG. 2 in order to polarize them cathodically and to measure the surface potential which arises after a predetermined dwell time t.
- a potential-time curve according to FIG. 3 is recorded for each calibration sample A, B, C, D.
- the surface potential which is established after a predetermined dwell time in the range from 20 to 180 seconds is detected.
- the surface potentials thus determined after an equally large dwell time of, for example, 120 seconds are then assigned to the aforementioned SRV of 80, 45, 5 and 2 according to FIG. 4.
- a compensating curve (fit curve) K is then expediently created from the surface potentials measured in the calibration samples, as shown in FIG. The respective (daily) compensation curve is thus defined.
- test sample A tinplate sample to be tested (test sample) is degreased in the same way and tinned and in the same acidic electrolyte that previously polarized the Calibration samples were used cathodically in the measurement setup under the same test conditions polarized.
- a potential-time curve is also recorded here and that after a dwell time, which is the dwell time of the calibration samples, here how assumed 120 seconds, corresponds to the setting surface potential. Is the test sample e.g. found a surface potential of 776 mV, Thus, using the previously created compensation curve K according to FIG Surface reaction value or SRV of 18 can be determined.
- the measurement is distinguished by a high level of reproducibility.
- the detection of the SRV can be achieved with a reproducibility of +/- 0.5 in a range from SRV 1 - 5.
- FIG. 6 A correlation between tinplate quality defined by the surface reaction value or SRV and the perforation rate that was determined in a storage test is shown in FIG. 6.
- the measurements were carried out with sample collectives of more than 800 cans each for tin coatings from 2.0 to 2.4 g / m 2 for cans that had been coated once.
- the cans were filled with carbonated soft drinks and were stored at room temperature for a period of 6 months. As can be seen from FIG. 6, there is an almost linear relationship between the surface reaction value and the perforation rate.
