Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for producing a structured hard chrome layer on a workpiece, structured hard chrome layers obtainable thereby and an electrolyte for carrying out the method.
- Electrochemically or galvanically deposited chrome layers have been the state of the art in functional and decorative areas of application and applications for coating electrically conductive and non-conductive workpieces for many years.
- the structured layers used according to the prior art all have a pronounced spherical layer structure.
- the size of the spherical shapes varies between less than 1 ⁇ m and several ⁇ m.
- the degree of coverage or the density of the spherical layer structure can be varied more or less depending on the method.
- Structured chrome layers according to DE 33 077 48 A1, DE 42 11 881 A1 and DE 43 34 122 A1 are produced by varying the direct electrical currents, the structure of the structures being influenced by varying the current ramp and current pulse heights.
- spherical structures are also produced. Here, however, their growth is made possible by adding salts of the elements selenium or tellurium to the chromium plating electrolyte.
- WO 02/38835 A1 discloses a method for the electrolytic coating of materials, a chromium alloy being deposited from an electrolyte which contains at least chromic acid, sulfuric acid, a metal which forms isopolyanions, a short-chain aliphatic sulfonic acid, its salt and / or its halogenated derivative and Contains fluorides.
- a structured hard chrome layer is not mentioned in this prior art.
- the present invention is therefore based on the object of providing a method for producing a structured hard chrome layer which does not have the disadvantages of the prior art.
- this is achieved by a method for producing a structured hard chrome layer, chrome being deposited from an electrolyte on a workpiece which contains:
- the method according to the invention is ideally suited to be used for the production of structured hard chrome layers.
- a structured hard chrome layer is obtained by deliberately influencing the cathode film formed during the electrochemical deposition of metals, the layer being cup-shaped and / or labyrinth-like and / or column-shaped.
- salts are dissolved in water, they dissociate into cations and anions. These dissociated ions simultaneously surround themselves with a hydration shell, i.e. water molecules (as dipoles) accumulate around the cations or anions. The charge number of the ions is not changed during the hydration. If a hydrated metal ion now begins to migrate under the influence of current, it gets near the cathode in a border area between the electrolyte and the cathode.
- This so-called cathode film is located directly on the surface of the workpiece to be coated, since the workpiece is switched electrically negative.
- the metal ions present in the electrolyte are first aligned in this phase boundary by taking up electrons which are offered by the cathode from the electric current.
- an electrochemical double layer also called "Helmholtz double layer”. It is a name for the electrically charged zone at the electrolyte / electrode interface, which is about a few atomic or molecular layers thick. Its formation is made up of ions and electrons or directed dipole molecules. It is positively charged on one side, negatively charged on the other side and behaves like a plate capacitor with an extremely small plate spacing.
- the resulting metal atom is now on the workpiece surface, but its condition is not yet the same of an atom in the interior of the metal. Only when a so-called growth site is present do the atoms that are formed fit into the existing metal lattice.
- the deposition conditions of the electrolytes are usually selected so that the base material is evenly covered with the metal to be deposited.
- the element chromium is present in aqueous solution, in comparison to most electrochemically separable elements, as a negatively charged complex ion mainly as a hydrogen dichromate in a strongly acidic solution.
- the chromium in this complex has the oxidation state 6.
- smaller amounts of chromium (III) compounds are also contained in electrolytes.
- the formation of the cathode film is controlled in such a way that it becomes permeable to chromium ions, so that a very dense barrier layer first forms, which then breaks down depending on the applied electrical coating current density and the metal structure of different thicknesses or layer thickness can arise.
- structured chrome layers which are cup-shaped and / or labyrinth-like and / or column-shaped, are obtained.
- the chrome layer obtained by the process according to the invention has high wear and corrosion resistance, excellent sliding properties and
- the special structure of the layer ensures better absorption of liquids.
- the construction of a gas cushion can be made possible and an improved anchoring possibility for substances to be stored there, e.g. Plastics, dyes, metals, ceramics, electronic
- Components the body's own tissue as an implant coating, can be achieved. Furthermore, this special structure enables targeted optical effects, e.g. high adsorption capacity for light and heat radiation when using
- electrolyte is understood to mean aqueous solutions whose electrical conductivity is brought about by electrolytically dissociation in ions. Accordingly, the electrolyte has, in addition to components (a) to (d) and any further additives present, the rest of water ,
- Cr0 3 is preferably used, which has proven to be particularly favorable for the electrodeposition of chromium.
- An aliphatic sulfonic acid which is preferably used as component (c) is methanesulfonic acid. This has proven to be particularly favorable for the formation of the structured hard chrome layers with the above properties.
- component (d) Li * . Na + and K + can be used.
- alkaline earth metal ions are Mg 2 * and Ca 2 ⁇ .
- component (d) (NH 4 ) 6 M ⁇ 7 ⁇ 2 -4 H 0, which has been found to be particularly favorable for the formation of the structured hard chrome layer with the above properties Has.
- the electrolyte described in more detail above is essentially free of fluorides.
- fluorides are understood to be both simple and complex fluorides. If fluoride is present in the electrolyte, the formation of the structured hard chrome layer is disturbed. The expression “essentially no fluorides” therefore means that so much fluoride is tolerable in the electrolyte that the formation of the structured hard chrome layer is not influenced. The amount of fluorides that are tolerable can easily be determined by a person skilled in the art. It has proven to be advantageous proven if there is no more than 0.1 g / l in the electrolyte.
- the electrolyte can also contain conventional catalysts that support chromium deposition, such as S0 4 2 " and / or CI " . These can be present in the electrolyte in conventional amounts.
- structured hard chrome layers are formed on workpieces.
- workpiece is understood to mean objects of any kind that are to be provided with a structured chrome layer. These can be metallic or non-metallic objects. Should a non-metallic object be used structured hard chrome layer are formed, this is first made electrically conductive by applying a thin metal film.
- the structured hard chrome layer on the workpiece is switched cathodically and immersed in the electrolyte.
- a direct current for example a pulsating direct current with a frequency of up to 1000 Hz, is applied to the workpiece.
- the temperature for the deposition of chromium can be 45 ° C to 95 ° C, in particular about 55 ° C.
- the duration of the deposition is chosen depending on the desired thickness of the structured hard chrome layer, the layer becoming thicker the longer the deposition takes place.
