Description

Beschichtete umgeformte Aluminiumhalbzeuge und/oder -bauteile und Verfahren zu ihrer HerstellungCoated formed aluminum semi-finished products and / or components and process for their production
Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf die Gebiete der Chemie, des Maschinenbaus und der Werkstofftechnik und betrifft beschichtete umgeformte Aluminiumhalbzeuge und/oder -bauteile, die mit einem zweistufig härtbaren/vernetzbaren Beschichtungsmittel für eine umformstabile Beschichtung beschichtet sind und ein Verfahren zu ihrer Herstellung.The invention relates to the fields of chemistry, mechanical engineering and materials technology and relates to coated formed aluminum semi-finished products and / or components which are coated with a two-stage curable / crosslinkable coating agent for a stable coating and a process for their production.
Um Lackschichtsysteme auf Aluminium-Halbzeugen (Blechen) applizieren und mit den heute geforderten Eigenschaften, wie hohe Kratzfestigkeit, hoher Glanzgrad, Umweltverträglichkeit und hoher Ausnutzungsgrad realisieren zu können, werden die kommerziell eingesetzten Pulverlacksysteme bei Temperaturen zwischen 160 bis 220°C industriell eingebrannt. Dies hat zur Folge, dass sich der Grundwerkstoff Aluminium bei diesen Temperaturbereichen über Nachkristallisation verfestigt bzw. stark versprödet und für eine weitere umformtechnische Bearbeitung nicht mehr geeignet ist.In order to apply lacquer coating systems to semi-finished aluminum products (sheets) and to be able to achieve the properties required today, such as high scratch resistance, high gloss level, environmental compatibility and high degree of utilization, the commercially used powder coating systems are industrially baked at temperatures between 160 and 220 ° C. As a result, the base material aluminum solidifies or becomes brittle at these temperature ranges via post-crystallization and is no longer suitable for further processing.
In DE 198 56 878 / WO 00/34355 werden härtbare uretdiongruppenhaltige Massen beschrieben, die in Zweistufenreaktionen gehärtet werden können. Die erste Stufe läuft vorzugsweise über eine Allophanatbildung kleiner 160°C ab. Ab Temperaturen größer 170°C entstehen unter Urethanbindungen unter Ausbildung des vernetzten Endzustandes.DE 198 56 878 / WO 00/34355 describes curable compositions containing uretdione groups which can be cured in two-stage reactions. The first stage preferably takes place via an allophanate formation below 160 ° C. At temperatures above 170 ° C, urethane bonds form, forming the cross-linked final state.
In DE 198 56 877 / WO 00/34391 werden "härtbare Massen", vorzugsweise eingesetzt zur Herstellung von Pulverlacken und deren Verfahren zur Herstellung und Verarbeitung beschrieben, die gezielt für Mehrstufenreaktionen und vorzugsweise für Zweistufenreaktionen eingesetzt werden. Diese Massen härten in Mehrstufenreaktionen aus, wobei die erste Stufe bei niedrigen Temperaturen katalysiert abläuft.DE 198 56 877 / WO 00/34391 describes "curable compositions", preferably used for the production of powder coatings and their processes for the production and processing, which are used specifically for multi-stage reactions and preferably for two-stage reactions. These masses harden in multi-stage reactions, the first stage being catalyzed at low temperatures.
Nachteilig bei den bekannten Beschichtungen ist, dass im wesentlichen keine umformstabile Beschichtung erreicht werden kann. Die Aufgabe der Erfindung besteht darin, beschichtete umgeformte Aluminiumhalbzeuge und/oder -bauteile anzugeben und herzustellen, die als Halbzeuge noch umformbar sind und dabei eine geschlossene Beschichtung erhalten bleibt und bei höheren Temperaturen ausgehärtet werden, so dass am Ende ebenfalls eine geschlossene Beschichtung erhalten wird.A disadvantage of the known coatings is that essentially no dimensionally stable coating can be achieved.

Das Wesen der Erfindung besteht in der Herstellung von beschichteten umgeformten Aluminiumhalbzeugen und -bauteilen, die nach der Aluminiumhalbzeugherstellung beschichtet werden und in einem thermischen Prozess verfilmt und teilgehärtet/teilvernetzt werden. Die Teilhärtung/Teilvernetzung der Schicht beispielsweise thermisch und strahlenchemisch oder nur thermisch weist eine solche mechanische Stabilität auf, dass diese Halbzeuge problemlos zwischengelagert und zu einem späteren Zeitpunkt weiterverarbeitet werden können. Zur Erhaltung der Umformbarkeit der Aluminiumhalbzeuge und -bauteile muss ein entsprechendes Temperatur/Zeit-Regime in der ersten Stufe der Verfilmung und Teilhärtung/Teilvernetzung eingehalten werden. Dabei gilt, dass bei höheren Temperaturen kürzere Reaktionszeiten zu wählen sind. Bei niedrigen Temperaturen kann beispielsweise die Teilhärtung/Teilvernetzung strahlenchemisch durchgeführt werden.The essence of the invention consists in the production of coated formed aluminum semi-finished products and components, which according to the Aluminum semi-finished products are coated and filmed in a thermal process and partially hardened / partially crosslinked. The partial hardening / partial crosslinking of the layer, for example thermally and radiation-chemically or only thermally, has such a mechanical stability that these semi-finished products can be intermediately stored without problems and processed further at a later point in time. To maintain the formability of the semi-finished aluminum parts and components, a corresponding temperature / time regime must be observed in the first stage of filming and partial hardening / partial crosslinking. It applies that shorter reaction times should be selected at higher temperatures. At low temperatures, for example, partial curing / partial crosslinking can be carried out using radiation chemistry.
Die Elastizität der teilgehärteten/teilvernetzten (Lack-)Schicht wird durch Kriterien einstellbar - erstens durch die Zusammensetzung des Bindemittelsystems und zweitens durch den Grad der Teilhärtung/Teilvernetzung, der über DSC-Messungen bestimmt werden kann. Bezüglich der Zusammensetzung des Bindemittelsystems können insbesondere elastische Strukturelemente in der Harzkomponente integriert sein. Der ausgebildete (Lack-)Film liegt dadurch während oder nach dem Umformprozess als geschlossener (Lack-)Film vor, wodurch insbesondere zusätzliche Verfahrensschritte entfallen können.The elasticity of the partially hardened / partially crosslinked (lacquer) layer can be set by criteria - firstly by the composition of the binder system and secondly by the degree of partially hardening / partially crosslinking, which can be determined via DSC measurements. With regard to the composition of the binder system, in particular elastic structural elements can be integrated in the resin component. The formed (lacquer) film is thus present as a closed (lacquer) film during or after the shaping process, as a result of which additional process steps in particular can be omitted.
Nach dem Umformprozess können weitere Schichten, beispielsweise Top-Coats, Deck- oder Farbschichten oder Gleitschichten aufgebracht werden, die auch in der zweiten Stufe bei Temperaturen größer 130°C ausgehärtet/vernetzt werden können. Mit der Aushärtung/Vernetzung der Schicht(en) unter den Bedingungen der Nachkristallisation der Aluminium(legierung) wird die Steifigkeit des Bauteils erreicht.After the forming process, further layers, for example top coats, top or color layers or sliding layers, can be applied, which can also be cured / crosslinked in the second stage at temperatures above 130 ° C. With the hardening / crosslinking of the layer (s) under the conditions of the recrystallization of the aluminum (alloy), the rigidity of the component is achieved.
Die Haftung zwischen den umformbaren Aluminiumhalbzeugen und -bauteilen und der Schicht und zwischen den Schichten wird vorteilhafterweise neben der adhäsiven Wechselwirkung durch chemische Bindungen erreicht. Eine weiter verbesserte Haftung wird durch Ausbildung kovalenter Bindungen erreicht. Durch die Teilhärtung/Teilvernetzung einer Schicht bleiben an der Oberfläche funktioneile und/oder reaktive Gruppen erhalten, die mit den funktionelle und/oder reaktiven Gruppen einer weiteren Schicht eine kovalente Bindung eingehen. Im nachfolgenden wird die Erfindung an mehreren Ausführungsbeispielen näher erläutert.The adhesion between the formable aluminum semi-finished products and components and the layer and between the layers is advantageously achieved in addition to the adhesive interaction through chemical bonds. Further improvement in adhesion is achieved by forming covalent bonds. Due to the partial hardening / partial crosslinking of a layer, functional and / or reactive groups are retained on the surface, which form a covalent bond with the functional and / or reactive groups of a further layer. The invention is explained in more detail below using several exemplary embodiments.
