Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an electrolyte composition as well as a method for the deposition of quaternary copper alloys.
  • the present invention relates to an electrolyte composition as well as a method for the deposition of bronze alloys which comprise copper, tin and zinc and a fourth alloying metal.
  • substrate surfaces can be coated with corresponding metal or alloy layers for decorative or functional reasons.
  • electroplating surface coatings are used in very different fields such as for example the automobile industry, the fittings industry or the manufacture of jewellery.
  • bronzes comprise a non negligible portion of heavy metals, such as for example lead, and they can also comprise portions of nickel which is suspected of provoking allergies if it is in direct contact with the skin.
  • substrates are often provided with nickel and/or chromium layers for decorative purposes. Since these substances are suspected of provoking allergies, it is endeavoured, in particular in the filed of the jewellery industry, to replace such coatings with harmless coatings that present the same or better properties.
  • an electrolyte composition for the deposition of a quaternary copper alloy on a substrate comprising at least copper, tin and zinc in form of the ions thereof as well as ions of a metal that is selected from the group consisting of indium, gallium and thallium.
  • Thallium is proved to be a brightener (grain refiner) in the electrodeposition of bronze alloys.
  • the deposit With a concentration of 0.05 g/l in the electrolyte, the deposit can contain up to 1 % of this elements.
  • an alloying metal selected from the group consisting of indium, gallium and thallium, makes it possible to deposit white, brilliant bronze alloy layers which do not release any noxious metals.
  • the thus deposited copper alloy layers can also be used as an alternative of nickel or chromium coatings.
  • the white metals such as tin, zinc as well as the metals from the group consisting of indium, gallium and thallium, can be widely varied in the electrolyte composition according to the invention, whereby copper alloy layers having surface properties that can be widely adjusted can be deposited.
  • the addition of a fourth alloying metal of the described type to bronze alloys on the base of copper, tin and zinc permits to clearly increase the corrosion resistance of the deposited layers against aggressive environmental influences such as for example salt water or human sweat. Furthermore, the hardness of the deposited alloy layers is significantly increased by the addition of the fourth alloying metal.
  • the electrolyte compositions according to the invention comprise cyanide besides the mentioned alloying metals.
  • the cyanide concentration can vary in a range comprised between 1 and 100 g/l according to the invention, wherein as cyanide source not only alkali-cyanides but also the alloying metals of the electrolyte composition in form of cyanide complexes, such as for example copper cyanide or zinc cyanide, can be added.
  • alloying metals of the electrolyte composition can be added in form of the soluble oxides, sulphates thereof or other suitable soluble compounds.
  • the electrolyte composition according to the invention comprises complexing agents for the complexation of the metals present in the electrolyte composition.
  • suitable complexing agents are for example nitrilotriacetic acid (NTA), ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (DTPA), phosphonates such as for example the phosphonate that is distributed by the company Monsanto under the name "Dequest”, derivates or salts of the D-gluconic acid as well as alkali hydroxides.
  • NTA nitrilotriacetic acid
  • EDTA ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid
  • DTPA diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid
  • phosphonates such as for example the phosphonate that is distributed by the company Monsanto under the name "Dequest”, derivates or salts of the D-gluconic acid as well as alkali hydroxides.
  • the electrolyte compositions according to the invention can comprise alkali salts of phosphonic acids, such as for example ethylenediaminetetra(methylphosphonic acid) (EDTMPA) or 1-hydroxyethylidenediphosphonic acid (HEDP or etidronic acid).
  • phosphonic acids such as for example ethylenediaminetetra(methylphosphonic acid) (EDTMPA) or 1-hydroxyethylidenediphosphonic acid (HEDP or etidronic acid).
  • the electrolyte composition according to the invention can content Rochelle salt (Sodiumpotassiumtartrat), and (or) glycolic acid, for example in form of alkali salts thereof. These salts function as conductive salts and as pH buffers to the electrolyte.
  • the electrolyte compositions according to the invention advantageously comprise surface-active agents, such as for example the additive distributed by the company Enthone under the name Brightener SW or also the betaine derivate distributed under the name ATC Solution No. 10.
  • the copper content of the electrolyte compositions can be comprised between 1 and 30 g/l.
  • the cyanide-copper-ratio is comprised between 1 : 1 and 10 : 1, calculated on the base of potassium cyanide.
  • the tin concentration of the electrolyte composition according to the invention can vary in a range comprised between 1 and 40 g/l, wherein it advantageously comprises a hydroxide-tin-ratio comprised between 1 : 1 and 5 : 1, calculated on the base of potassium hydroxide.
  • the zinc concentration of the electrolyte composition according to the invention can vary between 0.4 and 20 g/l.
  • the concentration of the fourth alloying metal selected from the group consisting of indium, gallium and thallium can vary between 0.1 and 10 g/l, depending on the selected complexing agent.
  • the aim of the invention is achieved by a method for the deposition of a quaternary copper alloy on a substrate comprising the process steps:
  • the set current density of the method according to the invention for the deposition of a corresponding quaternary copper alloy layer on the substrate is comprised between 0.05 and 5 A/dm2, preferably between 0.1 and 3 A/dm 2 .
  • the temperature during the step of contacting the substrate to be coated with the electrolyte composition according to the invention can vary between 20 and 80°C, preferably between 50 and 70°C. Below 50°C, the deposit is less bright, not homogeneous, colour is not uniform and corrosion resistance is less good. Above 70°C, the electrolyte generates too much break-down products and consumes more energy, more potassium hydroxide and more potassium cyanide. The consequence is a quick build-up of potassium carbonate, as also a rapid ageing of the electrolyte.
  • quaternary copper alloys having a layer thickness of up to 20 ⁇ m can be deposited, which are free of fissures and brilliant.
  • the deposited layers are uniform and present a high corrosion resistance.
  • the corrosion resistance to Neutral Salt Spray (according to the standard ISO 9227) for the same thickness of this deposit, plated on the same substrate, is minimum twice better than for the white ternary alloy copper/tin/zinc.
  • Corrosion resistance to artificial sweat (according to the standard ISO 3160-2) is also twice better than for the white ternary alloy copper/tin/zinc .
  • a deposit of 3 ⁇ m of copper/tin/zinc/indium according to the invention, plated on brass substrate resists more than 300 hours in the neutral salt spray test.
  • the comparative ternary white alloy copper/tin/zinc resists less than 120 hours.
  • the quaternary alloy resists 7 days, and the ternary alloy resists maximum 36 hours.
  • the alloying metals can vary within the deposited alloy layers depending on the set electrolyte composition.
  • the copper content of the deposited layers can vary between 52 and 55 % by mass
  • the tin content can vary between 23 and 35 % by mass
  • the zinc content can vary between 5 and 13 % by mass.
  • the content of the fourth alloying metal selected from the group consisting of indium, gallium and thallium can vary between 0.5 and 17 % by mass in the alloy layers deposited according to the invention, with a preferred content of 4 to 12% by mass in the alloy for optimum performances.
  • Aqueous electrolyte composition comprising
  • the deposit was corrosion and tarnish resistant, with a hardness of 510 HV 0.05 .
  • a plating barrel is filled with small pieces made of brass. Rotation speed of the barrel is adjusted at 8 rotations per minute. From the aqueous electrolyte described in example 1, at a temperature of 62°C, a current density of 0.15 A/dm 2 , in 120 minutes a 4 ⁇ m thick, white, fully bright and levelling deposits which contained 53.3% copper, 26.7% tin, 8.2% zinc and 11.7% indium were obtained.
