Abstract
Description
Es sind eine Vielzahl von Verfahren zum Elektropolieren von Aluminium und Aluminium-Magnesium-Legierungen bekannt. Hierbei handelt es sich in der Regel um Legierungen, die durch Walzen, Pressen oder Schmieden umgeformt werden. Durch Elektropolieren wird auf den Oberflächen dieser Legierungen ein guter Glanz erzielt, wenn der Gehalt an Silizium unter ca. 3 % liegt. Bei einem höheren Gehalt an Silizium liegt dieses im Gefüge der Legierung als eigene Phase vor. Da Silizium durch herkömmliche Elektropolierverfahren nicht angegriffen wird, wird das Aluminium beim Elektropolieren selektiv abgetragen und das Silizium bleibt auf der Oberfläche stehen. Die Oberflächen werden dadurch während des Elektropolierens nicht glatt und glänzend, sondern rau und dunkelgrau, wobei das Silizium teilweise als schwärzlicher Belag abgewischt werden kann.There are a variety of methods for electropolishing aluminum and aluminum-magnesium alloys known. These are usually alloys that are formed by rolling, pressing or forging. By electropolishing a good gloss is achieved on the surfaces of these alloys, if the content of silicon is less than about 3%. With a higher content of silicon, this is present in the structure of the alloy as a separate phase. Since silicon is not attacked by conventional electropolishing, the aluminum is selectively removed during electropolishing and the silicon remains on the surface. The surfaces are thereby not smooth and shiny during electropolishing, but rough and dark gray, the silicon can be partially wiped off as a blackish coating.
Herkömmliche Elektropolierverfahren verwenden zumeist Elektrolyten auf der Basis von Phosphorsäure-Schwefelsäure-Chromsäure-Gemischen, Phosphorsäure-Chromsäure-Gemischen, Phosphorsäure-Schwefelsäure-Gemischen sowie Phosphorsäure-Salpetersäure-Gemischen. All diesen Elektrolyten ist gemeinsam, dass befriedigende Ergebnisse hinsichtlich Glanz und Glätte nur auf Werkstoffen mit einem Siliziumgehalt unter 3 % erzielbar sind.Conventional electropolishing usually use electrolytes based on phosphoric acid-sulfuric acid-chromic acid mixtures, phosphoric acid-chromic acid mixtures, phosphoric acid-sulfuric acid mixtures and phosphoric acid-nitric acid mixtures. All these electrolytes have in common that satisfactory results in terms of gloss and smoothness can only be achieved on materials with a silicon content of less than 3%.
Die Industrie nutzt zunehmend Gießverfahren als einfaches, materialsparendes und wirtschaftliches Verfahren zur Herstellung komplex geformter Serienteile. Die zum Giessen verwendeten Legierungen weisen jedoch durchwegs einen Siliziumanteil in der Legierung von deutlich über 3 % auf, um das für die Gießverfahren erforderliche Schmelz- und Fließverhalten zu erzielen. Diese Legierungen gelten deshalb bisher als nicht geeignet für die Bearbeitung durch Elektropolieren. Lediglich das Elektropolierverfahren gemäß
Aus der
Die vorliegende Erfindung hat sich somit zum Ziel gesetzt, ein Elektropolierverfahren anzugeben, das es ermöglicht, Leichtmetalllegierungen, insbesondere Aluminium- und Aluminium-Magnesium-Legierungen mit einem Siliziumgehalt von größer als 3 %, mit gutem Ergebnis elektrochemisch zu polieren und zu entgraten. Der Siliziumgehalt solcher Legierungen liegt üblicherweise zwischen 6 und 20 %.The present invention has thus set itself the goal of providing an electropolishing, which makes it possible to polish light alloys, in particular aluminum and aluminum-magnesium alloys having a silicon content of greater than 3%, with good results electrochemically and deburr. The silicon content of such alloys is usually between 6 and 20%.
Die Erfinder haben beobachtet, dass sich das elektrochemische Auflösungsverhalten von Aluminium und Magnesium einerseits und Silizium andererseits stark unterscheidet. Auf der Grundlage dieser Beobachtung haben sie sich zum Ziel gesetzt, einen Elektrolyten zu entwickeln, bei dem die Abtragungsgeschwindigkeit beider Komponenten so angeglichen wird, dass schließlich eine homogene und glatte Oberfläche erhalten werden kann. Zusätzlich war wünschenswert einen Elektrolyten zu erhalten, bei dem man auf umweltschädliche Chemikalien wie Chromsäure oder Salpetersäure (aufgrund der NOx-Entwicklung) verzichten kann.The inventors have observed that the electrochemical dissolution behavior of aluminum and magnesium on the one hand and silicon on the other hand differs greatly. Based on this observation, they have set themselves the goal of developing an electrolyte in which the removal rate of both components is adjusted so that finally a homogeneous and smooth surface can be obtained. In addition, it has been desired to obtain an electrolyte which can dispense with environmentally harmful chemicals such as chromic acid or nitric acid (due to NO x evolution).
Die vorliegende Erfindung löst die vorstehend genannten Probleme durch die Bereitstellung eines Elektrolyten, der im wesentlichen neben Phosphorsäure, Schwefelsäure und einer Fluoridverbindung, Eisen(III)-Ionen enthält. Die Fluoridverbindung kann ein Alkalifluorid, Ammoniumfluorid oder Hydrogenfluorid sein. Als besonders geeignet hat sich Ammoniumhydrogenbifluorid erwiesen. Die Eisen(III)-Ionen wirken überraschend mindestens ebenso gut als Inhibitor wie Chromsäure oder andere Chromate und sind nicht gesundheits- oder umweltschädigend. Der Eisen(III)-Ionengehalt von 0,1 bis 8 Gew.-% ermöglicht es daher, die Oberfläche von Aluminium- und Aluminium-Silizium-Verbindungen ohne Zusatz von Chromsäure oder Salpetersäure in einem Elektrolyten auf Basis von Phosphorsäure oder Phosphorsäure-Schwefelsäure-Gemischen glänzend zu polieren, ohne dass die elektropolierte Oberfläche durch den Elektrolyten kurzfristig chemisch angegriffen und verätzt wird.The present invention solves the above-mentioned problems by providing an electrolyte substantially containing phosphoric acid, sulfuric acid and a fluoride compound, ferric ion. The fluoride compound may be an alkali fluoride, ammonium fluoride or hydrogen fluoride. Ammonium hydrogen bifluoride has proven to be particularly suitable. The iron (III) ions surprisingly act at least as well as an inhibitor such as chromic acid or other chromates and are not harmful to health or the environment. The iron (III) ion content of 0.1 to 8 wt .-% therefore makes it possible, the surface of aluminum and aluminum-silicon compounds without the addition of chromic acid or nitric acid in an electrolyte based on phosphoric acid or phosphoric acid-sulfuric acid Polishing glossy mixtures without the electro-polished surface being chemically attacked and etched by the electrolyte at short notice.

Die Phosphorsäure (85 %-ig) wird dabei in einer Menge von 40 bis 60 Gew.-% eingesetzt. Die Schwefelsäure (86 %-ig) wird in einer Menge von 30 bis 50 Gew.-% eingesetzt. Die Fluoridverbindung wird in einer Menge von 0,5 bis 6 Gew.-%, bevorzugt zwischen 2 bis 4 Gew.-% eingesetzt. Die Eisen(III)-Ionen werden in einer Menge von 0,1 bis 8 Gew.%, vorzugsweise 2 bis 3,5 Gew.% eingesetzt.A preferred electrolyte comprises phosphoric acid, sulfuric acid, iron (III) ions, ammonium hydrogen difluoride (NH 4 HF 2 ) in addition to conventional inhibitors and brighteners.

Als Glanzbildner werden Alkanolamine wie z. B. Ethanolamin, Triisopropanolamin, Diethanolamin in einer Menge von 1-10 Gew.-%, bevorzugt zwischen 4-6 Gew.-% eingesetzt. Mischungen verschiedener Glanzbildner z.B. verschiedene Alkanolamine sind ebenfalls möglich.As brighteners alkanolamines such. As ethanolamine, triisopropanolamine, diethanolamine in an amount of 1-10 wt .-%, preferably 4-6 wt .-% used. Mixtures of different brighteners, e.g. different alkanolamines are also possible.

Es ist möglich Mischungen verschiedener Inhibitoren z.B. Mischungen verschiedene Eisen(III)-Salze einzusetzen.The iron (III) ions used as inhibitor can be in the form of iron (III) citrate, iron (III) sodium cyanate, iron (III) phosphate, iron (III) sulfate, iron (III) oxide in one Amount of 0.1-8 wt .-%, preferably from 2-3 wt .-% (based on the Fe / electrolyte ratio) are used.

Die verschiedenen Bestandteile des Elektrolyten neben den Säuren und dem Fluorid werden insgesamt so eingestellt, dass bei Durchführung des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens eine glatte Oberfläche erhalten wird. Dabei können auch weitere Inhibitoren neben den Eisen(III)-verbindungen zugesetzt werden Gegebenenfalls sind auch Glanzbildner erforderlich, wie die hier genannten Amine Ethanolamin, Diethanolamin und/oder Triisopylamin. Bei dem erfindungsgemäßen Verfahren soll schließlich der Abtrag des Aluminiums sowie des Siliziums im gleichen Maße erfolgen. Die Erfinder, ohne dass diese Erläuterung in irgendeiner Weise die vorliegende Erfindung beschränken sollte, gehen davon aus, dass mit Hilfe des erfindungsgemäßen Elektrolyten der elektrochemische Abtrag des Aluminiums einerseits und der chemische Abtrag des Siliziums andererseits in einer Art Gleichgewicht gehalten werden. Neben der eingesetzten Säure (im wesentlichen Phosphorsäure) spielt möglicherweise das eingesetzte Fluorid eine entscheidende Rolle bei der Steuerung des chemischen Abtrags des Siliziums.The various constituents of the electrolyte in addition to the acids and the fluoride are adjusted overall so that a smooth surface is obtained when carrying out the process according to the invention. It is also possible to add further inhibitors in addition to the iron (III) compounds. Where appropriate, brighteners are also required, such as the amines ethanolamine, diethanolamine and / or triisopylamine mentioned here. Finally, in the method according to the invention, the removal of the aluminum and of the silicon should take place to the same extent. The inventors, without that explanation in any way limiting the present invention, assume that with the aid of the electrolyte according to the invention the electrochemical removal of the aluminum on the one hand and the chemical removal of the silicon, on the other hand, be kept in a kind of equilibrium. In addition to the acid used (essentially phosphoric acid) possibly used fluoride plays a crucial role in the control of the chemical removal of silicon.
