Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method for applying a rulers functional coating on the surface of a workpiece made of aluminum or an aluminum alloy.
- the invention further relates to a workpiece which can be produced by such a method.
- Anodizing layer is layers which, depending on the experimental parameters, can have different surface morphologies and pore structures.
- the tasks of an anodizing layer can be essentially reduced to three functionalities: they are intended to increase the corrosion protection of the base material and have a surface structure which is suitable for bonding and / or painting.
- Chromic Acid Anodizing CAA. Chromic acid anodizing according to DIN EN 3002 provides an anodizing layer that is corrosion resistant.
- the surface morphology of a chromic acid anodizing layer is such that it is useful for components to be painted.
- Adhesive parts are treated with this procedure, provided that a chromium-sulfuric acid pickling is applied before the anodization.
- pickling without a specific oxide structure based on Fe (III) -containing pickling is sufficient out.
- CAA coating for example, Airbus is currently providing around 90% of all aluminum components used in aircraft construction.
- Phosphoric Acid Anodizing This method is set forth in British Patent GB 1 555 940. A patent specifically directed to the adhesive properties of PAA can be found in US Patent 4,085,012. Phosphoric acid anodization provides an anodization layer available whose surface morphology is suitable for adhesive parts, provided that a chromium-sulfuric acid pickling (FPL) is used.
- FPL chromium-sulfuric acid pickling
- PSA Phosphorus sulfuric acid anodizing PSA. This procedure is qualified at Airbus and is laid down as Technical Note TN-EVC 904/96. PSA anodising layers are suitable for bonding and painting and serve as a chromate-free reference anodising layer.
- Corrosion resistance They are not suitable for gluing and for paints normally.
- the treatment before the anodization is achieved by pickling without specific oxide structure on the basis of Fe (III) -containing pickling.
- chromate-containing baths are used to produce chromic acid anodised (CAA) layers, chromates are classified as carcinogenic. This eliminates these methods for future applications.
- CAA chromic acid anodised
- the layer produced in the phosphoric acid anodizing PAA does not provide sufficient corrosion protection for the complete spectrum of parts in aircraft construction, and requires CSA pickling. to 4)
- the phosphorus sulfuric anodizing PSA provides no corrosion protection.
- Sulfuric-Boric anodizing layers BSAA are not suitable for bonding, only if a second PAD bath is connected upstream.
- DC sulfuric acid anodizing layers are not suitable for painting and gluing.
- TSA Mixed acid anodising
- the present invention is based on the object to provide a method for applying a multifunctional coating on the surface of a workpiece made of aluminum or an aluminum alloy and a corresponding coated workpiece to provide all three requirements - corrosion resistance, suitability for painting and Suitability as a substrate for bonding - within a technical process chain.
- the pickling process is chromate-free and produces oxide structures as they are known from CSA (chromium sulfuric acid pickling).
- CSA chromium sulfuric acid pickling
- the anodization process is to be modified in such a way that the outer pickling oxide layer is retained as a result. As a result, even relatively narrow anodized layers can be used, as is the case with SAA or sulfuric acid-based mixed electrolytes.
- the invention is characterized by the production of an oxide film on workpieces made of aluminum and aluminum alloys. After conventional cleaning in degreasing and alkaline pickling baths, the aluminum components are subsequently introduced, for example, into a pickling bath containing Ce (IV) and anodized for further treatment in such a way that the oxide layer produced in the pickling bath containing cerium does not become complete again gets destroyed.
- the cerium is subsequently introduced, for example, into a pickling bath containing Ce (IV) and anodized for further treatment in such a way that the oxide layer produced in the pickling bath containing cerium does not become complete again gets destroyed.
- Pickling process is characterized by the application of an approximately 50 nm thick, highly porous layer (hair brush like, see Figure 1). This layer is suitable for high adhesion composites.
- the anodization step grows a low pore layer below the first layer, created in SAA or TSA electrolytes. This layer is nachverdichtbar and thus corrosion resistant (see Figure 2).
- the present invention provides i.a. the following advantages:
- the invention has the advantage that it can be used for all conceivable aluminum series, eg for aluminum series used in aircraft construction: AA 7XXX, AA 6XXX, AA 5XXX, AA 2XXX series and AlLi alloys.
- half Products include sheets, plates, cast alloys, extrusions and forgings.
- the method of the present invention and the materials used are not carcinogenic or toxic.
- the preset surface combines three functionalities: corrosion resistance, suitability as substrate for paints and suitability as pre-treatment for adhesive parts.
- the parameters for the anodization layers can be adapted.
- the present invention is particularly directed to the following:
- the present invention relates to a method of applying a multifunctional coating to the surface of an aluminum or aluminum alloy workpiece, the method comprising: a) treating the surface of the workpiece with an acidic solution, the rare earth metal ions containing, to obtain a first oxide layer on the workpiece; and b) anodizing the workpiece to obtain a second oxide layer, wherein the workpiece in the presence of an aqueous solution containing sulfuric acid serves as the anode of an electrical cell and the first oxide layer obtained in step a) is retained.
- the process of the present invention thus combines two elements described in the prior art, namely treating the surface of the workpiece with a solution containing rare earth metal ions, and an anodizing step.
- the combination of the two steps has hitherto not been considered, since, when carrying out the anodization step and the reaction conditions used, a destruction of tion of the first oxide layer formed during treatment with rare earth metal ions.
- the present invention provides, for the first time, a combination of both process steps and provides evidence that the formation of 2 oxide layers is possible by the successive steps and results in particularly advantageous multifunctional coatings on aluminum workpieces.
- the rare earth metal ion used in step a) is cerium (IV).
- cerium (IV) This is preferably used in its salt form as cerium (IV) sulfate and / or ammonium cerium (IV) sulfate.
- rare earth metal ions include praseodymium, neodymium, samarium, europium, terbium and ytterbium ions.
- the concentration of the rare earth metal ions in the acidic solution in step a) is preferably between 0.005 to 1 mol / 1, particularly preferably 0.01 to 0.5 mol / 1. It is particularly advantageous if it is between 0.1 to 0.3 mol / 1.
- the process temperature in step a) is adjusted to about 50-80 0 C.
- This process version differs from those described in US 6,503,565 parameters, which is less assumed temperatures of 50 0 C and.
- the first oxide layer obtained in step a) preferably has a thickness of approximately 20-100 nm. See also Fig. 1 and the illustrated hair brush like oxide layer.
- the achieved layer thickness is particularly preferably about 50 nm.
- the acidic solution used in step a) preferably has a pH of ⁇ 1, preferably less than 0.5.
- the solution contains sulfuric acid in a preferred embodiment. The use of other acids such as phosphoric acid is possible, but is less preferred.
- the treatment of the workpiece made of aluminum or an aluminum alloy in step a) preferably takes 2 min. up to 60 minutes, more preferably about 10 minutes.
- a TSA or SAA solution is used as the sulfuric acid-containing solution.
- Both solutions are basically known in the prior art.
- EP 1 233 084 discloses a solution of 10 to 200 g / l of sulfuric acid and of 5 to 200 g / l of L (+) tartaric acid for use in an anodization process. The disclosure of EP 1 233 084 is fully incorporated herein by reference Reference herein.
- the TSA solution of the present invention preferably contains from 10 to 200 g / L of sulfuric acid and from 5 to 200 g / L of L (+) tartaric acid. More specifically, the solution contains from 20 to 80 g / l of sulfuric acid and from 30 to 120 g / l of L + tartaric acid. Furthermore, it is preferable to contain about 40 g / L of sulfuric acid and about 80 g / L of L (+) tartaric acid.
- the second oxide layer produced in step b) generally has a significantly greater thickness than the first oxide layer and can be specified in the order of about 2-8 ⁇ m.
- the process leadership must be chosen in the present process so that destruction of the first oxide layer formed in step a) is avoided. It is particularly recommended under the usual process conditions a maximum duration of treatment of 40 min. to choose.
- the preferred treatment time in step b) is thus 10-40 min.
- step b) a process temperature of 15-35 ° C is set. At higher temperatures there is a risk that the first oxide layer (formed in step a)) is more likely to be removed again. Temperatures below 15 ° C usually lead to an increased brittleness of the surfaces of the workpiece and are also less preferred.
- the workpieces based on aluminum alloys machined in the method according to the invention are preferably selected from alloys of the AA 7XXX, AA 6XXX, AA 5XXX, AA 2XXX series and of AlLi alloys which are used in aircraft construction.
- the method is, of course, not limited to this and can in principle be applied to any workpiece made of aluminum or aluminum alloys, be it from vehicle construction or other technical fields.
- the method of the present invention contemplates performing an additional step of contacting the surface of the workpiece with an alkaline cleaning solution to remove contaminants prior to the steps of treating the workpiece with rare earth metal ions and anodizing.
- the invention relates to a workpiece made of aluminum or an aluminum alloy which has been machined according to the previously described method and has a modified multi-functional surface.
- the surfaces obtained increase the corrosion protection of the base material and have a surface structure which is outstandingly suitable for bonding and / or painting.
- FIG. 1 shows an outer "hair brush-like" surface layer of about 60 ⁇ m as obtained in step a) of the method according to the invention.
- Fig. 2 shows an oxide bilayer as applied to an aluminum alloy workpiece by the method of the present invention.
- the pickling oxide layer is applied to the workpiece, the workpiece is lightened - at the same time a despair treatment is carried out and the "hair brush like" outer surface layer of about 50 nm applied
- the workpiece is treated in an anodization bath containing sulfuric acid and adjusted to a layer thickness of about 5 ⁇ m.
- Typical process parameters ⁇ suitable for aluminum and aluminum alloys are as follows:
- Anodizing parameters ramp 3 min to 18 V, plateau 20 min at 18 volts The anodization takes place at 30 0 C.
- the workpiece is degreased for pretreatment in a typical commercial Abkochentfettung (silicate-free, pH 9.5, phosphate / borate skeleton) at 65 ° C for 15 minutes.
- Old oxide / hydroxide layers and other surface contaminants are stained by a commercial alkaline stain for Al alloys (alternative In NaOH with 5 g / L gluconate additive) at 60 ° C. for 1 minute.
- the metal removal amounts to approx. 3 ⁇ m.
- the workpiece is then pickled in a 0.2 molar Ce (VI) solution (NH 4 J 4 [SO 4 J 4 solution with sulfuric acid) at 6 ° C. for 6 minutes at 0 ° C.
- the oxide composition is approximately 60 nm.
- a micrograph The surface of the workpiece representing the resulting oxide layer is shown in FIG.
- the anodization is then carried out in a TSA bath (see above) at 25 ° C. With an applied voltage of 18 volts, anodization layers of approx. 3 ⁇ m are achieved after approx. 20 minutes.
- the oxide layer produced by Ce (IV) / sulfuric acid treatment reduces to about 40 nm after the anodic treatment.
- Fig. 2 shows an oxide bilayer as deposited by this method.
