Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for producing an inorganic colored cover layer on the surface of a product comprising a base material made of copper or a copper alloy according to the features in the preamble of claim 1.
  • patina In the known in this context for the production of green cover layers on products made of copper or copper alloys - artificially produced patina - are by chemical or electrochemical processes and combinations of these two processes on the surfaces of the panels used in the roof, wall and facade applications and Sheet metal layers produced from metal salts.
  • the resulting patina surfaces are more or less uniform in color ( EP 0 943 701 A .
  • these artificially generated patina surfaces can be subdivided into two groups.
  • layers of metal salts are applied to the surfaces by means of various application methods.
  • the composition of these patina layers does not change anymore because they do not react with the base material to which they are applied.
  • Such layers can be optically modified by varying the composition and nature of the application process, they have only insufficient adhesion to the base material. The reason for this is that there is no chemical reaction and therefore no chemical connection to the base material.
  • the second group includes the patina layers, which are formed by applying a chemical to the surface or by reacting the surface of the base material with a corresponding liquid from the base material.
  • the artificially created patina layer is the reaction product between the base material and a corresponding chemical.
  • the advantage of the patina layers artificially created in this way is their good connection to the base material with very good adhesion.
  • the disadvantage here is that the color and structure of the patina layers are determined by the optical properties of the respective reaction product. The appearance of such a patina layer can only be varied if the chemical involved in the reaction is changed in composition.
  • the products have thin layers of metal oxides on their surfaces. These are produced by means of thermal, chemical or electrochemical processes as well as combinations of these processes. These thin layers also have more or less uniform color appearances.
  • the invention is - based on the prior art - the object to produce a visually appealing and easily modifiable in color hue resistant inorganic protective and cover layer on products of copper or copper alloys.
  • Kem of the invention is the combination of different process parameters.
  • a layer is formed on the surface of a product with a base material of copper or a copper alloy, which consists of oxides of the base material.
  • the surface of the product changes not only in color, but it is also largely degreased at the same time.
  • the base color of the pre-oxidation layer can be adjusted within a wide range, depending on the choice of alloy composition and the oxidation parameters.
  • the largely degreased surface of the product is a prerequisite to now be able to apply according to the invention in a further operation, a reactive chemical, which leads to the formation of metal salts.
  • the film-like wetting with the chemical is markedly improved by the pre-oxidation layer previously produced on the surface of the product.
  • the chemical is applied with at least one applicator roll.
  • the pattern on the surface of the product which is adapted to the object where the product is to be used, can be generated in a targeted manner.
  • the reactive chemical can be applied to form a visually pleasing pattern that will give a marbled appearance between tan-brown and golden-brown, depending on the reaction between the chemical and the wetted surface of the product.
  • decorative and visually appealing layers on the one hand can be made of metal salts and on the other hand Produce metal oxides on the products of copper or copper alloys whose appearance can vary depending on the requirements of color and structure largely.
  • These metal salt metal oxide layers have an excellent weathering resistance, since on the one hand they are produced from the base material of the products themselves and on the other hand largely correspond in their structure and composition to the naturally occurring corrosion products.
  • the inventive method can be applied according to claim 3 in a panel or strip-shaped product with a base material of copper or a copper alloy.
  • a particularly advantageous embodiment with regard to the adhesion of the metal salt layer to the preoxidation layer is given according to claim 4 when the method is applied to a sheet or strip product having a base material of copper or a copper alloy which has zinc at least in the near-surface region.
