  • the acidity ratio is determined to be in the range of 3.3 to 5.7 in the methods cited in the items 3 and 4 of the invention for the following reasons. That is, the coating film is suppressed from being formed due to too severe corrosion of the steel product when the acidity ratio is less than 3.3. On the other hand, the formation of the coating film takes a long period of time since the corroding action of the steel product is too weak when the acidity ratio exceeds 5.7.
  • the acidity ratio is more preferably in the range of 3.8 to 5.4.
  • aqueous solution containing Al ions it is preferable in the methods cited in the items 3 and 4 of the invention to allow the aqueous solution containing Al ions to contact the surface of the steel product for 30 seconds or more at a temperature in the range of 40 to 50°C.
  • the contact period is less than 30 seconds, the corroding action of the steel product is insufficient to fail in obtaining a coating film excellent in corrosion resistance and corrosion fatigue resistance.
  • the contact period is less than 180 seconds, the corroding action of the steel product is insufficient to fail in obtaining a coating film excellent in corrosion resistance and corrosion fatigue resistance.
  • the drying temperature is prescribed to be 50°C or less because, when the temperature exceeds 50°C, denseness of the coating film decreases due to too rapid evaporation of water to result in a decrease of the strength of the coating film.
  • the treatment work is easy with a low processing cost in the steel product subjected to surface treatment in the invention, and excellent corrosion resistance and corrosion fatigue resistance are manifested without causing hydrogen embrittlement and decreased strength of the material.
  • FIG. 1A shows an example of the surface treatment according to the invention, which is a first example of the surface treatment in which a drying step 2 as a post treatment is carried out after a rinsing step 1.
  • FIG. 1B shows another example of the surface treatment according to the invention, which is a second example of the surface treatment in which the rinsing step 1 and a second drying step 2b as post treatments are sequentially carried out after a first drying step 2a.

  • Water to be used for rinsing in FIGS. 1A and 1B desirably contains C1 as small as possible.
  • the solution for use in the treatment in FIGS. 1A and 1B (referred to the treatment solution hereinafter) is obtained by adding aluminum phosphate (AlPO 4 ) in water, and further adding phosphoric acid (H 3 PO 4 ) for dissolving AlPO 4 .
  • the concentration by weight of AlPO 4 is favorably in the range of 1 to 10%.
  • the concentration of AlPO 4 exceeds 10%, the steel product may be eroded with the acid because the concentration of H 3 PO 4 added for dissolving AlPO 4 increases.
  • concentration of AlPO 4 is below 1%, processability decreases since AlPO 4 is frequently replenished.
  • industrial water, city water and distilled water may be used as water used for the solvent.
  • Cl is preferably removed as much as possible.
  • any methods such as immersion, air spray and brush coating may be used for allowing the treatment solution to contact the steel product. While the mechanism for forming the coating film has not been fully elucidated, it is conjectured as follows.
  • Aluminum primary phosphate (Al(H 2 PO 4 ) 3 ), H 3 PO 4 and AlPO 4 are in an equilibrium state represented by the following formula (1) in the treatment solution.
  • H 3 PO 4 interacts with Fe as shown in the following formula (2), and the concentration of H 3 PO 4 decreases in the solution near the surface of the steel product as shown in the formula (1). Accordingly, the equilibrium shown in the formula (1) shifts to the right side, and hardly soluble AlPO 4 seems to precipitate on the surface of the steel product to form a coating film.
  • the coating film is considered to be formed based on the steel product corroding action of H 3 PO 4 and deposition of hardly soluble AlPO 4 formed by decomposition of Al(H 2 PO 4 ) 3 . It may be also considered that dissolved Fe is contained in AlPO 4 formed as described above, and a film comprising Al, Fe, P and O is formed. Accordingly, the molar ratio between H 3 PO 4 and Al(H 2 PO 4 ) 3 is important in the treatment condition by the treatment solution of the invention, and specifically, control of the acidity ratio is important.
  • the term "acidity ratio" as used herein refers to a ratio of a point of acidity of total phosphoric acid (H 3 PO 4 and Al(H 2 PO 4 ) 3 ) to a point of acidity of free phosphoric acid (H 3 PO 4 ) in the treatment solution.
  • the "point” is as described below.
  • a treatment solution (10 cc) is neutralized with 0.1 N sodium hydroxide (NaOH) by adding 2 to 3 drops of methyl orange solution as an indicator at room temperature.
  • the point of acidity of free phosphoric acid is the volume of the aqueous NaOH solution represented by a cc unit when the color of the solution changes to orange.
  • the point of total acidity is the volume of the aqueous NaOH solution represented by the cc unit when the same solution is neutralized as described above by adding 2 to 3 drops of phenolphthalein solution and the color of the solution changes to pale pink.
  • the acidity ratio of the treatment solution can be controlled by adding a basic aqueous solution such as an aqueous NaOH solution.
  • a treatment solution ready for forming the coating film may be obtained for maintaining the equilibrium in formula (1) by increasing the acidity ratio, or by decreasing the amount of H 3 PO 4 .
  • the acidity ratio is in the range of 3.3 to 5.7, particularly of 3.8 to 5.4.
  • the acidity ratio is less than 3.3 (too much H 3 PO 4 )
  • the coating film is suppressed from being formed due to too vigorous corrosion of the steel product.
  • the acidity ratio exceeds 5.7 (to little H 3 PO 4 )
  • a long period of time is necessary for forming the coating film since the corrosion action for the steel product is weak.
  • the required contact periods of the steel product with the treatment solution are 1000 seconds or more, 180 seconds or more and 30 seconds or more when the temperatures of the treatment solution are room temperature, 30°C and in the range of 40 to 50°C, respectively.
  • the upper limit temperature of the treatment solution is desirably 50°C or less since temperature control is difficult at a higher temperature while the cost for maintaining the temperature is high.
  • the steel product may be immediately rinsed (first example of surface treatment: A) after the above-mentioned treatment as shown in FIG. 1A , or may be rinsed after drying (second example of surface treatment: B) after the above-mentioned treatment as shown in FIG. 1B . Since drying is applied for removing adhered water, the steel product may be left at room temperature or in a heated atmosphere. Otherwise, a conventional drying furnace may be used.
  • the temperature of the first drying step in the second example of the surface treatment is desirably 50°C or less. A temperature exceeding 50°C is not preferable since water is so rapidly evaporated that denseness of the coating film decreases to reduce the strength of the coating film.
  • the steel product treated as described above is expected to have a sacrificial corrosion protective action by the Al component in the coating film formed on the surface and an action for forming a passive film by oxidation of the Al component.
  • the concentration of Al atoms in the coating film at the surface of the steel product is quantitatively analyzed by elementary analysis in the region from the surface to a depth of 5 ⁇ m using an EDX (Energy Dispersive X-ray spectroscopy) device, and is corrected by ZAF correction (Z: difference of emitted X-ray intensity depending on difference of sample compositions; A: absorption X-ray in sample; F: fluorescence excitation by emitted X-rays in sample).
  • the ratio of A (the ratio of the number of Al atoms) to B should be 0.5% or more, particularly desirably 3% or more.
  • the ratio of the number of Al atoms is less than 0.5%, both the above-mentioned sacrificial corrosion protective action and action for forming a passive film are so weak that sufficient corrosion resistance and corrosion fatigue resistance cannot be obtained.
  • a surface treatment with a low cost is possible since aluminum phosphate, phosphoric acid and distilled water are cheaply and readily available and the treatment is simple. Since the treatment solution is weakly acidic and the amount of hydrogen generated from the steel product is very small, the steel product is substantially free from hydrogen embrittlement. Further, all the treatments are performed at 50°C or less, so that the strength of the materials is hardly reduced.
  • the surface of a steel product SAE9254 (Fe-0.56%C-1.42%Si-0.75%Mn-0.68% Cr) with a diameter of 4 mm and a length of 20 to 80 mm was treated under the conditions shown in Table 1.
  • the steel product was a material obtained by removing in advance solid and thick oxidized scales by blast treatment.
  • the pre-treatment procedure comprises washing the steel product with distilled water, degreasing with acetone, and then removing the scale again by immersing the steel product in dilute aqueous hydrochloric acid.
