Definitions
- the present invention relates to a galvanic bath and a method for the deposition of zinc-containing layers on substrate surfaces.
- the present invention relates to a galvanic bath and a method for the deposition of zinciferous layers from an acidic deposition electrolyte.
- Zinc-containing layers are characterized in particular by their high corrosion resistance. Due to the appearance of the resulting zinc coatings, zinc layers or zinc-containing layers are used less in the field of decorative coatings than in the field of functional coatings. Thus, for example, it is common to coat small parts such as screws, nuts, washers, prefabricated structural elements such as angle plates or connecting plates and the like in large numbers. In many cases, the small parts are immersed in so-called drum baskets in appropriate Abscheidebäder and it is created between the Abscheidekorb and an anode a Abscheidestrom.
- the obtained properties of the deposited zinc-containing layer can be influenced.
- the appearance, the corrosion resistance and the mechanical properties of the deposited layers can be influenced by appropriate alloying depositions. So it is for example from the DE 103 06 823 A1 known to deposit zinc-manganese alloys. In the DE 101 46 559 describes the galvanic deposition of zinc-nickel alloys.
- a problem with the electrodeposition of zinc-containing layers on substrate surfaces of acidic zinc-containing electrolytes is that the use of dissolving zinc anodes leads to the formation of deposits on the anode surface, which passivate them and adversely affect the production cycle. By these deposits and the effectiveness of the electrodeposition can be reduced.
- a galvanic bath for depositing a zinc-containing layer on a substrate surface comprising a first cell space, which receives an acidic deposition electrolyte, and a second cell space, which receives a neutral or acidic anolyte, wherein the first cell space of the second Cell space is separated by a cation-permeable membrane and wherein in the anolyte receiving cell space a dissolving zinc anode is arranged, which is characterized in that the anolyte receiving cell space is in hydraulic communication with a device which contains any in the anolyte Exchange foreign metal ions for zinc ions and / or protons.
- the object is achieved by a method for electrodeposition of a zinc-containing layer on a substrate surface, wherein the substrate to be coated is brought into contact with an acidic, at least zinc ion-containing deposition electrolyte in a galvanic bath and between the substrate and at least one An anode current is applied, which is suitable to induce the deposition of a zinc-containing layer on the substrate surface, wherein the galvanic bath is divided into at least two cells and the cells separated from one another by a membrane permeable to cations, wherein one cell receives the acidic deposition electrolyte and the second cell a neutral or acid zinc ion-containing anolyte and wherein a dissolving zinc anode is disposed in the cell receiving the anolyte, which is characterized in that the acid anolyte is at least partially removed from the cell space receiving it and passed through a device in which any foreign metal ions are exchanged for zinc ions and / or protons.
- the device in which any foreign metal ions contained in the anolyte are exchanged can be, for example, a precipitation compartment or a cation exchanger.
- the pH of the anolyte will be increased to a value at which the foreign metal ions possibly contained in the anolyte precipitate out as hydroxides.
- the resulting precipitate can be separated off by means of sedimentation, filtration, centrifugation or the like, and the anolyte, depleted of any foreign metal ions, can then be returned to the cell space accommodating the anode.
- the pH is adjusted to a corresponding acidic pH by addition of an acid. As a result, foreign metal ions are finally exchanged for protons.
- the device in which any foreign metal ions contained in the anolyte are exchanged for other cations is a cation exchanger which, for example, has a suitable cation exchange resin.
- the foreign metal ions can advantageously be exchanged for other cations without the addition of anions in the anolyte.
- the foreign metal ions can preferably be exchanged for protons or zinc ions.
- the cation-permeable membrane serves to retain a majority of the foreign metal ions contained in the deposition electrolyte, such as ions of the group consisting of nickel, cobalt, manganese or iron, although the membrane is essentially for these ions is also permeable.
- the Applicant assumes that the voltage gradient of about 1 volt across the membrane is a barrier which is difficult to overcome for the foreign metal ions contained in the deposition electrolyte.
- the foreign metal ions which nevertheless migrate into the anolyte are intercepted via the device to be provided according to the invention for exchanging the foreign metal ions and are preferably exchanged for zinc ions and / or protons.
- the device serves not only to catch any foreign metal ions which may be present in the anolyte, but also to maintain a certain zinc ion level in the anolyte.
- the anolyte has, in addition to zinc ions, an acid and / or alkali metal ions.
- Suitable acids in the anolyte may be, for example, boric acid, acetic acid, citric acid, tartaric acid, aminoacetic acid, methanesulfonic acid, hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid and the like.
- Suitable sources of zinc ions in the anolyte may be soluble zinc compounds such as zinc chloride, zinc sulfate or organic zinc compounds such as zinc methanesulfonate.
- Suitable sources of alkali ions may be, for example, alkali salts such as sodium fluoride, sodium chloride, sodium bromide, lithium chloride, lithium fluoride, potassium chloride, potassium fluoride, potassium bromide and the like.
- Suitable membranes for separating the cell spaces are according to the invention cation exchange membranes which are permeable to 2-valent cations, such as perfluorinated membrane. Furthermore, microporous membranes such as dialysis membranes are suitable for use in the galvanic bath according to the invention.
- both this second anode and the zinc anode accommodated in the cell space accommodating the anolyte can be electrically connected to the substrate via a single rectifier.
- the adjustment of the deposition ratio between zinc and the further metal to be deposited is carried out according to the invention by varying the anolyte composition.
- the variation of the alkali metal concentration is decisive, since this has a significant influence on the conductivity of the anolyte and thus on its electrical resistance.
- a plurality of separate cell spaces for receiving the anolyte may be provided in the galvanic bath, which are each equipped with a zinc anode.
