Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zum Aufbringen von Manganphosphatschichten auf Eisen- oder Stahloberflächen mit Mangan-, Phosphat-, Eisen (II) - Ionen, sowie Nitroguanidin enthaltenden Phosphatierungslösungen sowie dessen Anwendung auf Werkstücke, die einer gleitenden Reibung ausgesetzt sind.The invention relates to a method for applying manganese phosphate layers on iron or steel surfaces with manganese, phosphate, ferrous ions, as well as Nitroguanidine containing phosphating solutions and its application Workpieces subject to sliding friction.
Für verschiedene Anwendungszwecke, z.B. die Verminderung der Reibung aufeinander gleitender Metallflächen oder die Erleichterung der Kaltumformung von Metallen, haben sich Manganphosphatschichten wegen ihrer hohen mechanischen Beständigkeit gut bewährt. Mit den anfänglich gebräuchlichen Manganphosphatlösungen erhielt man jedoch verhältnismäßig dicke, grobkristalline Schichten, die insbesondere dann nachteilig sind, wenn feinmechanische Teile behandelt werden sollen. Mit dem Ziel, dünne feinkristalline Manganphosphatschichten zu erzeugen, sind daher zahlreiche Vorschläge unterbreitet worden. So ist es beispielsweise bekannt, durch Zusatz von kondensierten Phosphaten eine Verfeinerung der Phosphatschicht zu erhalten. Phosphatierungslösungen auf Basis Manganphosphat werden jedoch im allgemeinen bei hohen Temperaturen eingesetzt, so daß infolge der bei hohen Temperaturen beträchtlichen Hydrolyse die Wirksamkeit der kondensierten Phosphate schnell nachläßt bzw. ständig kondensiertes Phosphat nachdosiert werden muß.For various applications, e.g. the reduction of friction sliding metal surfaces or facilitating cold working of Metals, manganese phosphate layers have become because of their high mechanical Resistance well proven. With the initially used However, manganese phosphate solutions were obtained relatively thick, coarsely crystalline Layers that are particularly disadvantageous when fine mechanical parts should be treated. With the aim of thin fine crystalline Manganese phosphate layers are therefore numerous proposals been submitted. For example, it is known by the addition of condensed phosphates to obtain a refinement of the phosphate layer. However, manganese phosphate phosphating solutions generally become used at high temperatures, so that as a result of high temperatures considerable hydrolysis, the effectiveness of the condensed phosphates quickly decreases or continuously condensed phosphate must be replenished.
Einen anderen Weg beschreibt die deutsche Auslegeschrift 1109 484, um zu feinkörnigen Phosphatschichten zu gelangen. Danach werden nitrathaltige Phosphatlösungen eingesetzt, bei denen die Nitratmenge die Phosphatmenge übersteigt. Die Lösungen sollen ein Verhältnis von Nitrat zu Phosphat von etwa (1,5 bis 4,5): 1 aufweisen. Es zeigte sich jedoch, daß in vielen Fällen die beabsichtigte Wirkung nicht erzielt wird. Another way is described in German Auslegeschrift 1109 484 to to reach fine-grained phosphate layers. Thereafter, nitrate-containing Phosphate solutions are used, where the amount of nitrate, the amount of phosphate exceeds. The solutions should have a ratio of nitrate to phosphate of about (1.5 to 4.5): 1. It turned out, however, that in many cases the intended Effect is not achieved.
Weiterhin ist ein Verfahren bekannt, bei dem gezielt mit einem überhöhten Anteil an Freier Säure der Phosphatierungslösung gearbeitet wird, um besonders dünne Schichten zu erzeugen (DE-C-1246356). Diese Schichten sind jedoch wegen ihres niedrigen Flächengewichts nur für Spezialfälle praktisch anwendbar.Furthermore, a method is known in which deliberately with an excessive proportion of Free acid of the phosphating solution is worked to very thin To produce layers (DE-C-1246356). However, these layers are because of their low basis weight only for special cases practically applicable.
Schließlich ist es bekannt, einer Phosphatierungslösung auf Basis Manganphosphat bzw. Mangan-Eisenphosphat, bei der die Konzentrationen hinsichtlich Mangan-, Eisen (II) -, Phosphat- und Nitrat-Ionen innerhalb bestimmter Grenzen liegen, mehr Freies P2O5 im Verhältnis zum Gesamt P2O5 zuzuführen als dem Phosphatierungsgleichgewicht in der arbeitenden Phosphatierungslösung entspricht. Durch die vorgenannte Maßnahme soll als Vorteil erzielt werden, daß eine deutliche Verminderung des bei der Phosphatierung gebildeten Schlammes und eine Herabsetzung der zur Erzeugung einer bestimmten Überzugsmenge erforderlichen Chemikalien erzielt wird (DE-B-22 13781).Finally, it is known that a Phosphatierungslösung based on manganese phosphate or manganese iron phosphate, in which the concentrations of manganese, iron (II), phosphate and nitrate ions are within certain limits, more free P 2 O 5 in relation to Total P 2 O 5 supply as the phosphatization equivalent in the working phosphating corresponds. By the above measure should be achieved as an advantage that a significant reduction of the sludge formed in the phosphating and a reduction of the production of a certain amount of coating required chemicals is achieved (DE-B-22 13781).
Den bekannten Verfahren ist gemeinsam, daß Manganphosphatschichten mit beträchtlichen Rauhtiefen entstehen. Der Grund ist darin zu sehen, daß der Beizangriff bei Manganphosphat-Systemen bereits von Beginn an stark ist und nach äußerst kurzer Einwirkungszeit zu einem punktförmigen Metallabtrag führt. Demgegenüber setzt die Schichtausbildung - verglichen mit Zinkphosphat-Systemen - vergleichsweise verzögert ein. Starker Beizangriff und verzögerte Schichtausbildung sind optisch durch eine starke Gasentwicklung von längerer Dauer, der sogenannten Gaszeit, erkennbar.The known method has in common that manganese phosphate layers with considerable roughness depths arise. The reason is that the Beizangriff with manganese phosphate systems from the beginning is strong and after extremely short exposure time leads to a punctiform metal removal. In contrast, the layer formation continues - compared with zinc phosphate systems - comparatively delayed. Strong pickling attack and delayed stratification are visually characterized by a strong gas evolution of longer duration, the so-called Gas time, recognizable.
Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, ein Verfahren bereitzustellen, daß zu Manganphosphatschichten mit möglichst geringer Rauhtiefe führt, deren Schichtdicke dennoch im mittleren bis hohen Bereich liegt.The object of the invention is to provide a method that Manganese phosphate layers with the lowest possible roughness leads, whose layer thickness nevertheless lies in the middle to high range.
Die Aufgabe wird gelöst, indem das Verfahren der eingangs genannten Art
entsprechend der Erfindung derart ausgestaltet wird, daß man die Werkstücke zwecks
Ausbildung einer Manganphosphatschicht mit einer Mindestdicke von 2,5 µm und
einer gemittelten maximalen Rauhtiefe (Rz) von 2,5 µm - gemessen nach dem
Trocknen - mit einer Phosphatierungslösung bei einer Temperatur von mindestens
75 °C in Kontakt bringt, die
Die gemittelte Rauhtiefe ist gemäß DIN 4768, Blatt 1 definiert und stellt das
arithmetische Mittel aus den Einzelrauhtiefen fünf aneinander grenzender,
gleichlanger Einzelmeßstrecken entsprechend
Der beanspruchte Maximalwert von 2,5 µm bezieht sich allein auf die Rauhtiefe der Manganphosphatschicht und läßt die Tiefe der unbehandelten Metalloberfläche unberücksichtigt.The claimed maximum value of 2.5 μm refers only to the roughness of the Manganese phosphate layer and leaves the depth of the untreated metal surface unconsidered.
Die vorstehend genannte Gesamtpunktezahl wird in an sich bekannter Weise ermittelt, indem 10 ml der Phosphatierungslösung nach Verdünnung mit Wasser auf etwa 50 ml unter Verwendung von Phenolphthalein als Indikator bis zum Farbumschlag von farblos nach rot filtriert werden. Die Anzahl der hierfür verbrauchten ml 0,1 n Natronlauge ergeben die Gesamtpunktezahl. Andere für die Titration geeignete Indikatoren sind Thymolphthalein und ortho-Kresolphthalein. The above-mentioned total score is in a conventional manner determined by adding 10 ml of the phosphating solution after dilution with water About 50 ml using phenolphthalein as indicator until Color change from colorless to red are filtered. The number of this 0.1 ml of sodium hydroxide solution used gives the total number of points. Others for the Titration suitable indicators are thymolphthalein and ortho-cresolphthalein.
In ähnlicher Weise werden die Freien Säuren-Punkte bestimmt, wobei als Indikator Dimethylgelb verwendet wird und bis zum Umschlag von rosa nach gelb titriert wird. Zuvor werden störende Metallionen durch Zugabe von Hexacyanoferrat (II) - oder Hexacyanocobaltat (III) - Ionen beseitigt. Der S-Wert ist als Verhältnis von Freiem P2O5 zu Gesamt P2O5 definiert. (Näheres ist bei W. Rausch, "Die Phosphatierung von Metallen", Eugen G. Leuze Verlag, Stuttgart 1974, Seiten 273 ff, ausgeführt)Similarly, the free acid points are determined using dimethyl yellow as an indicator and titrating to pink to yellow to pink. Previously, interfering metal ions are removed by addition of hexacyanoferrate (II) or hexacyanocobaltate (III) ions. The S value is defined as the ratio of free P 2 O 5 to total P 2 O 5 . (For details, see W. Rausch, "The phosphation of metals", Eugen G. Leuze Verlag, Stuttgart 1974, pages 273 et seq, executed)
Zwar ist es aus der GB-A-510684 bekannt, Manganphosphatschichten mit Hilfe von Phosphatierungslösungen zu erzeugen, die neben zahlreichen anderen Oxidationsmitteln auch Nitroguanidin enthalten können. Jedoch ist aus den Angaben zur Punktezahl an Freier Säure und Gesamtsäure errechenbar, daß die Phosphatierungslösungen erheblich geringere Konzentrationen an phosphatierungswirksamen Komponenten enthalten und - entsprechend dem mit dem bekannten Verfahren verfolgten Ziel, die Korrosionsbeständigkeit von Metallen zu verbessern - Schichten mit sehr geringem Schichtgewicht entstehen lassen. Einen irgendwie gearteten Hinweis auf die Rauhtiefe der Phosphatschicht enthält die Patentschrift nicht.Although it is known from GB-A-510684, manganese phosphate layers with the aid of Phosphating solutions, among many others Oxidizing agents may also contain nitroguanidine. However, from the information to the score of free acid and total acid calculable, that the Phosphating solutions significantly lower concentrations containing phosphating components and - according to the The aim of the known processes was to increase the corrosion resistance of metals improve - create layers with a very low coating weight. a contains some kind of reference to the surface roughness of the phosphate layer Patent specification not.
Die zur Konzeption der vorliegenden Erfindung durchgeführten Untersuchungen haben gezeigt, daß bei Einsatz von Nitrat als Beschleuniger, das infolge der gebräuchlichen hohen Phosphatiertemperaturen autokatalytisch Nitrit bildet, oder bei Einsatz von Nitrit oder Chlorat wegen des fehlenden Eisen (II) - Gehaltes die Schichtausbildung gestört ist bzw. Schichten mit nur sehr geringem Schichtgewicht bzw. sehr geringer Schichtdicke gebildet werden. Demgegenüber ermöglicht der Einsatz von Nitroguanidin die Eisen (II) - Konzentration unterhalb bestimmter Grenzen zu halten, ohne daß eine unerwünschte starke Absenkung des für die Ausbildung einer qualitativ hochwertigen Schicht erforderlichen Eisen (II) - Gehaltes erfolgt.The studies carried out to design the present invention have shown that when using nitrate as an accelerator, due to the autocatalytic nitrite forms, or at, conventional high phosphating temperatures Use of nitrite or chlorate because of the lack of iron (II) - content Layer formation is disturbed or layers with only a very small layer weight or very small layer thickness are formed. In contrast, the Use of nitroguanidine the iron (II) concentration below certain To keep limits without an undesirable strong reduction of the for the Training a high quality layer required iron (II) - content he follows.
Zur Unterstützung der Oxidation von Eisen (II) kann in die Phosphatierungslösung sauerstoffhaltiges Gas, zum Beispiel Druckluft, eingeblasen werden. Auch können Eisen (II) oxidierende Substanzen, vorzugsweise Kaliumpermanganat, zugegeben werden. Es ist jedoch darauf zu achten, daß eine Eisen (II) - Konzentration von 0,2 g/l keinesfalls unterschritten wird. Anderenfalls wird das gewünschte Schichtgewicht nicht erzielt.In support of the oxidation of iron (II) can be added to the phosphating solution oxygen-containing gas, for example compressed air, are blown. Also can Iron (II) oxidizing substances, preferably potassium permanganate added become. However, it is important to ensure that an iron (II) - concentration of 0.2 g / l under no circumstances. Otherwise, the desired coating weight will not achieved.
Eine bevorzugte Ausführungsform der Erfindung sieht vor, die Werkstücke mit einer Phosphatierungslösung in Kontakt zu bringen die 0,5 bis 2 g/l Nitroguanidin enthält. Hierfür sind insbesondere Kostengründe maßgebend.A preferred embodiment of the invention provides, the workpieces with a Phosphating solution containing 0.5 to 2 g / l nitroguanidine. In particular cost reasons are decisive for this.
Weiterhin ist es von Vorteil, die Konzentration an Eisen (II) - Ionen in der Phosphatierungslösung auf maximal 2,5 g/l einzustellen. Hierdurch wird erreicht, daß auch bei schwierig zu phosphatierenden Werkstücken mit Sicherheit feinkristalline Schichten mit geringer Rauhtiefe entstehen.Furthermore, it is advantageous to increase the concentration of iron (II) ions in the Adjust phosphating solution to a maximum of 2.5 g / l. This ensures that Even with difficult to phosphatierenden workpieces with security fine crystalline Layers with low roughness occur.
Sofern Werkstücke mit Stahloberflächen phosphatiert werden sollen, sieht eine weitere vorteilhafte Ausgestaltung der Erfindung vor, der Phosphatierungslösung Komplexbildner zur Komplexierung der Legierungsbestandteile des Stahles zuzusetzen. Ein derartiger Legierungsbestandteil ist insbesondere Chrom. Als Komplexbildner sind zum Beispiel Weinsäure, insbesondere aber Zitronensäure geeignet. Durch den Zusatz von Komplexbildnern werden die Bestandteile des Stahles, die eine Beeinträchtigung der Schichtqualität zur Folge haben können, abgefangen.If workpieces with steel surfaces are to be phosphated, see one further advantageous embodiment of the invention before, the phosphating solution Complexing agent for complexing the alloy components of the steel add. Such an alloying ingredient is especially chromium. When Complexing agents are, for example, tartaric acid, but especially citric acid suitable. Due to the addition of complexing agents, the components of the Steel, which may affect the quality of the coating, intercepted.
Eine weitere vorteilhafte Weiterbildung der Erfindung besteht darin, die Werkstücke
mit einer Phosphatierungslösung in Kontakt zu bringen, die zusätzlich
0,2 bis 4 g/l Nickelionen
oder
0,2 bis 4 g/l Magnesiumionen enthalten. A further advantageous embodiment of the invention is to bring the workpieces with a phosphating in contact, in addition
0.2 to 4 g / l nickel ions
or
0.2 to 4 g / l magnesium ions.
Durch diese Zusätze wird eine Vergleichmäßigung des Beizangriffes auf die zu behandelnde Metalloberfläche und dadurch bedingt eine stärkere Haftung der Phosphatschicht erzielt. Außerdem wird das Aussehen der Phosphatschicht infolge der im allgemeinen erwünschten Dunkelfärbung verbessert. Der Gehalt an Magnesiumionen wirkt sich zudem verbrauchsmindernd hinsichtlich des gesamten Chemikalienverbrauchs aus.By these additions, a homogenization of the pickling attack on the treated metal surface and thus requires a stronger adhesion of the Achieved phosphate layer. In addition, the appearance of the phosphate layer is due the generally desired darkening improved. The content of Magnesium ions also reduces the consumption of the whole Chemical consumption.
Schließlich ist es zweckmäßig die Werkstücke mit einer Phosphatierungslösung in Kontakt zu bringen, in die zwecks Abstumpfung der Freien Säure mindestens ein Teil der Manganionen durch Mangankarbonat ergänzt wird.Finally, it is expedient the workpieces with a phosphating in To bring into contact in order to dull the free acid at least part Manganese ions are supplemented by manganese carbonate.
Der Kontakt der Werkstücke mit der Phosphatierungslösung erfolgt vorzugsweise bei einer Temperatur im Bereich von 75 bis 95° C.The contact of the workpieces with the phosphating solution is preferably carried out at a temperature in the range of 75 to 95 ° C.
Die Werkstücke können mit der Phosphatierungslösung in beliebiger Weise in Kontakt gebracht werden, bevorzugt ist die Tauchbehandlung. Als Behandlungsdauer sind im allgemeinen 1 bis 15 min angemessen.The workpieces can be mixed with the phosphating solution in any way Contact is preferred, the immersion treatment is preferred. As treatment duration are generally 1 to 15 minutes appropriate.
In der Regel ist es erforderlich, die Werkstücke vor der Phosphatierung zu reinigen. Hierzu dienen saure, neutrale oder alkalische Reiniger. Im allgemeinen wird zwischen der Reinigung der Werkstücke und der Phosphatierung gründlich mit Wasser gespült. Insbesondere nach einer Behandlung mit Alkalien und Säuren sollten die Werkstücke in einer wäßrigen Aufschlämmung von feinverteiltem Manganphosphat vorgespült werden, um bei der anschließenden Phosphatierung die Ausbildung besonders gleichmäßiger feinkristalliner Schichten zu fördern.As a rule, it is necessary to clean the workpieces before phosphating. Acid, neutral or alkaline cleaners are used for this purpose. In general, between Thoroughly rinse with water to clean the workpieces and phosphating. Especially after treatment with alkalis and acids, the workpieces should pre-rinsed in an aqueous slurry of finely divided manganese phosphate to be in the subsequent phosphating training especially to promote uniform fine-crystalline layers.
Mit Hilfe des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens werden Phosphatschichten mit einem Schichtgewicht von im allgemeinen 5 bis 30 g/m2 erzielt. With the aid of the process according to the invention, phosphate layers having a coating weight of generally from 5 to 30 g / m 2 are achieved.
Die mit der Erfindung erzeugten Phosphatschichten können in an sich bekannter Weise lackiert oder mit Kunststoffüberzügen versehen werden. In Verbindung mit Korrosionsschutzölen dienen sie zur Erhöhung der Rostbeständigkeit. Der Hauptanwendungsfall des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens liegt jedoch in der Behandlung von Werkstücken, die einer gleitenden Reibung ausgesetzt werden. Hierbei handelt es sich beispielsweise um Achsen, Getriebeteile und Kolben von Verbrennungsmotoren und Kompressoren.The phosphate layers produced by the invention can be known per se Painted or provided with plastic coatings. Combined with Corrosion protection oils serve to increase the rust resistance. Of the However, the main application of the method according to the invention lies in the Treatment of workpieces subjected to sliding friction. These are, for example, axles, transmission parts and pistons of Internal combustion engines and compressors.
Mit Hilfe des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens gelingt es, Manganphosphatschichten mit mittleren bis hohen Schichtdicken zu erzeugen, die dennoch eine nur sehr geringe gemittelte Rauhtiefe aufweisen. Sie liegt um ca. 30 bis 50% unter den bisher üblicherweise erhaltenen Werten. Infolge der geringen Rauhtiefe ist bei Werkstücken, die einer gleitenden Reibung ausgesetzt sind, der Reibungswiderstand erheblich reduziert. Die Verkürzung der sogenannten Gaszeit auf etwa die Hälfte des bisher Üblichen zeigt, daß die Dauer des Beizangriffes der Phosphatierungslösung und damit der Metallabtrag vom Werkstück erheblich herabgesetzt wird. Es wird angenommen, daß der Gehalt der Phosphatierungslösung an Nitroguanidin zu einer gewissen Passivierung der Metalloberfläche führt, die jedoch einen reduzierten Beizangriff zuläßt bzw. eine früher einsetzende Schichtausbildung bewirkt.With the aid of the method according to the invention, it is possible to use manganese phosphate layers to produce with medium to high layer thicknesses, which nevertheless only a very small have average roughness. It is about 30 to 50% lower than previously usually obtained values. Due to the low roughness depth is in workpieces, which are exposed to a sliding friction, the frictional resistance considerably reduced. The shortening of the so-called gas time to about half of the date The usual shows that the duration of the pickling attack of the phosphating solution and so that the metal removal from the workpiece is significantly reduced. It will assumed that the content of the phosphating solution of nitroguanidine to a certain passivation of the metal surface leads, but a reduced Beizangriff allows or causes an earlier onset layer formation.
Die Erfindung wird anhand des nachfolgenden Beispiels näher erläutert.The invention will be explained in more detail with reference to the following example.
Tassenstößel aus Stahl wurden zunächst mit einem stark alkalischen, wässerigen Reiniger im Tauchen entfettet, anschließend mit Wasser gespült, danach in einer Aufschlämmung von feinverteiltem Manganphosphat vorgespült und schließlich in einer Phosphatierungslösung von 80 °C für die Dauer von zehn Minuten im Tauchen phosphatiert. Steel tappets were initially made with a strongly alkaline, aqueous Degreased cleaner in diving, then rinsed with water, then in a Pre-rinsed slurry of finely divided manganese phosphate and finally in a phosphating solution of 80 ° C for ten minutes in the dive phosphated.
Die Phosphatierungslösung enthielt
Die Gesamtpunktezahl der Phosphatierungslösung betrug 80, die Punktezahl der Freien Säure 11 (gemessen mit 60 g Konzentrat pro 1 l Wasser). Zur Bestimmung der Gesamtsäurepunktezahl und der Freien Säure-Punktezahl wird auf die obigen Ausführungen verwiesen.The total number of dots of the phosphating solution was 80, the number of points of Free acid 11 (measured with 60 g of concentrate per 1 l of water). To determine the Total Acid Score and Free Acid Score is based on the above References.
Zum Ansatz der Phosphatierungslösung diente ein Konzentrat, das 6,45 Gew.-% Mangan, 0,28 Gew.-% Nickel, 0,05 Gew.-% Eisen (II), 19,8 Gew.-% P2O5, 2,5 Gew.-% Nitrat und 0,2 Gew.-% Citronensäure enthielt, in einer Menge von 183 g, das auf einen Liter mit vollentsalztem Wasser aufgefüllt wurde.For the preparation of the phosphating a concentrate, the 6.45 wt .-% manganese, 0.28 wt .-% nickel, 0.05 wt .-% iron (II), 19.8 wt .-% P 2 O 5 was used , 2.5% by weight of nitrate and 0.2% by weight of citric acid, in an amount of 183 g, which was made up to one liter with demineralized water.
Es wurden feinkristalline Phosphatschichten mit einem Schichtgewicht von 7 g/m2, entsprechend einer Schichtdicke von 3 bis 4 µm, und einer gemittelten Rauhtiefe Rz von 1,3 bis 2,4 µm erhalten. Die Gaszeit betrug 2 bis 3 Minuten.Fine-crystalline phosphate layers having a coating weight of 7 g / m 2 , corresponding to a layer thickness of 3 to 4 μm, and an average roughness R z of 1.3 to 2.4 μm were obtained. The gas time was 2 to 3 minutes.
In einem Vergleichsversuch wurde unter identischen Bedingungen mit der obigen Phosphatierungslösung, die jedoch kein Nitroguanidin enthielt, gearbeitet. Es entstanden Phosphatschichten, die zwar ebenfalls feinkristallin waren, jedoch eine gemittelte Rauhtiefe Rz von 5 bis 6 µm aufwiesen. Das Schichtgewicht lag bei 6 g/m2. Die Gaszeit betrug 6 bis 10 Minuten.In a comparative experiment was under identical conditions with the above phosphating, but no nitroguanidine, worked. Phosphate layers were formed which, while also finely crystalline, had an average roughness R z of 5 to 6 μm. The coating weight was 6 g / m 2 . The gas time was 6 to 10 minutes.
