Definitions
- the invention relates to a method as defined in the claims for coating the surface of a metal substrate which is not a light metal substrate.
- the metal substrate may in particular comprise non-ferrous metal, such as e.g. Brass, nickel silver, bronzes or precious metal, such as silver or gold alloys, but also steel material, e.g. Be stainless steel or tool steel.
- the layer to be applied is characterized by an advantageous combination of scratch and abrasion resistance, ductility, transparency and optionally anti-corrosive action. Further layer properties are very good specific electrical insulation effect, chemical and thermal stability, as well as barrier properties.
- the invention further relates to coated metal substrates as defined in the claims
- Untreated surfaces of objects for example semi-finished products, sanitary articles, metal strips, in particular steel and brass and copper, instruments, in particular percussion instruments or basins, food processing articles such as pans or baking molds, (stainless steel) containers, for example for the chemical industry, jewelery, Fittings) made of non-light metals, in particular of brass, copper, steel have a strong susceptibility to corrosion, especially in certain media, such as alkalis or acids, in an aqueous environment, or in contact with finger sweat. In addition, her Scratch resistance comparatively low. Therefore, for. B. brass surfaces often refined by powder coatings or PVD coatings.
- PVD coatings Often, corresponding surface property improvements are produced by PVD coatings.
- a disadvantage of PVD coatings is their low extensibility. Typical is a crack elongation (crack-onset strain, elongation to microcracking) of max. 1 to 1.5%, which is thus worse than the metal substrate.
- the surface is improved, for example by ceramic spray coatings in mechanical wear behavior.
- this achieves a thermal insulation that can be used for forms of plastics processing.
- a disadvantage is their granular surface, so that no high-quality components can be produced.
- lacquer infiltration often occurs when a surface finish is damaged. The defect increases rapidly. The corrosion protection effect is lost. In addition, strong visual impairments occur.
- EP 0 752 483 A1 discloses a method of coating articles of metal, metal alloys, plastics or equivalent surfaces with a protective layer after prior plasma-enhanced CVD cleaning by plasma electrical stimulation at reduced gas pressure to initiate gas mixing with reactive, layering gases and control of the gas Working pressure, wherein the formation of a quartz-like layer as the reactive gases in addition to oxygen, the vapor of an element containing silicon in organic compound, easily evaporable organosilicon compound or a silicon-containing gas are introduced, characterized in that the reactive gases are introduced in such a mixture, that the proportion of reactive oxygen is not sufficient for the quantitative conversion to silicon dioxide, and that the deposition parameters of the electrical gas discharge are controlled so that a quar zähnliche layer which contains in addition to silicon and oxygen and organic, plasma-polymerized components in a homogeneous distribution.
- DE 195 23 442 A1 discloses a method for coating articles of metal or metal alloys or surfaces with a protective layer after prior cleaning by means of a plasma assisted CVD process by a high frequency electrical discharge at reduced gas pressure, initiating a gas mixture with reactive, film forming gases and controlling the working pressure. characterized in that the formation of a quartz-like layer as the reactive gases in addition to oxygen, the vapor of an element containing silicon in organic compound, easily evaporable organosilicon compound or a silicon-containing gas are introduced in such a mixture that the proportion of reactive oxygen is not quantitative Sufficient for conversion to silicon dioxide, and that the self-bias voltage of the electric gas discharge is controlled so that a layer with a mixed structure of quartz with embedded org forms anic structural components.
- a protective layer can be produced on a metal substrate which is not light metal, which does not or at least only to a reduced extent have some or all of the disadvantages of the prior art described above.
- a layer should have improved crack elongation and low residual stresses, so that cold or hot deformation is better possible.
- an improved chemical stability to alkaline media and generally a good corrosion protection effect is desirable.
- Such a layer should preferably have a high abrasion and scratch resistance, so that it can also be applied with layer thicknesses of more than 20 ⁇ m.
- the coating process should be economical, preferably also be carried out in a continuous process.
- Metal in the context of the present invention is a metallic material with a density of> 4.5 g / cm 3 at 20 ° C. These include in particular iron, nickel, copper, zinc, nickel, lead, chromium and precious metals and their alloys such as steel, brass and bronze. Preferred metal substrates are brass and copper substrates, and especially steel substrates.
- a light metal is a metallic material in the sense of the present invention with a maximum density of 4.5 g / cm 3 at 20 ° C. For metal substrates, the density of the region is critical for classification as a light metal on which the coating rests.
- the metal substrate is preferably a semifinished product which is subsequently deformed in further preferred processes according to the invention.
- a coating produced by the process according to the invention is characterized by a hitherto unknown advantageous combination of properties which were hitherto considered incompatible, namely good scratch and corrosion resistance with high ductility (crack elongation preferably greater than or equal to 2%, in particular greater or equal 2.5%).
- a good substrate adhesion, good optical transparency in the visible range and / or high layer thickness homogeneity can be achieved by the method according to the invention.
- the coating preferably has a thermal conductivity of ⁇ 5 W / m ° K and preferably an electrical breakdown strength according to DIN 53841 of 10 - 100 kV / mm.
- Coatings with a yellow index of 2.5 or below generally have no yellowing discernible to the human eye.
- a minimum yellowing is tolerable, as with a yellow index in the range of over 2.5 to 3.
- the yellow index is further determined substantially by the proportion of Si-H bonds in the coating produced by the process according to the invention, which, as explained below, is crucial for achieving favorable ranges of hardness and elasticity and thus for achieving the advantageous property combination. If you want to increase the hardness of the coating and / or a slightly yellowish color, which can ultimately lead to an intense gold tone allowed, so restrictions in the elongation to microcracks must be accepted.
- the yellow index can be adjusted to 4 without losing the corrosion protection effect. To do this, you can increase the self-bias by increasing performance.
- Another important parameter is the carbon content in the coating produced by the process according to the invention, which is influenced by the proportion of organic groups. This in turn is just as important for the hardness and elasticity of the coating, which is also desirable for achieving the advantageous property combination. Due to a high elasticity of the coating, this can e.g. be stretched together with the coated article without causing cracking. With very high elasticity of the coating, the substrate can even be plastically deformed without the coating being damaged. As a result, forming processes of the coated material are possible to some extent.
- the scratch resistance of the layers is in many cases comparable to that of glass surfaces. It turned out, surprisingly, that it is possible by use of the inventive (dry chemical) method, for. B. completely to renounce the (wet chemical) chrome plating (decorative chrome plating). This is advantageous because the chromium plating is an expensive and environmentally problematic process because of the high energy input. In addition, dirt-repellent (low-energy) surface properties can be set on the coating surface.
- the achievable layer property function is not only of interest as a chromating substitute, but also for the general coating of non-light metals.
- From the DE 197 48 240 A1 is a method for corrosion-resistant coating of metal substrates, in particular of aluminum or aluminum alloys, known by plasma polymerization.
- precursor (s) at least one hydrocarbon or organosilicon compound is used.
- the layers disclosed there protect the surface well against corrosion without changing it visually.
- One limitation, however, is their low scratch resistance.
- the method disclosed there is not suitable due to the low deposition rates, economically higher Produce layer thicknesses, as they are necessary for scratch-resistant coatings. In addition, it places very high demands on the surface roughness of the substrate.
- WO 03/002269 A2 there are disclosed articles comprising a substrate and a plasma-polymeric, O, C, and Si surface-connected coating in which the molar ratios of O to Si and C to Si are each in certain ranges and are easy to clean.
- the coatings disclosed therein have at least 25 atomic% of a higher carbon content than the coatings produced by the process according to the invention and do not have the above-mentioned combination of favorable properties. Also, nothing is said about the yellow index to be set.
- Domingues et al. (2002) Electrochimica Acta 47, 2253-2258 discloses an aluminum alloy with a plasma polymer coating that provides some corrosion protection (as detected by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy).
- the disclosed coating lacks, in particular, the good scratch resistance and the high extensibility that are inherent in the coating produced according to the invention.
- Domingues et al. contains no information regarding yellowing or carbon content. Due to the procedure (ratio of the gas flows of oxygen to the organosilicon precursor about 23: 1, for details on the influence of these parameters see below) has the in Domingues et al. disclosed coating a lower carbon content than the coating produced by the inventive method.
- coatings for soft substrates are disclosed. It is not disclosed that the coatings could be suitable for protecting metal substrates from corrosion.
- the in the EP 0 748 259 B1 coatings which have a yellowness index of ⁇ 3 have a nanoindentation hardness of less than 2.5 GPa.
- Thick film method e.g. The application of paints or sol-gel coatings, while the necessary corrosion resistance can achieve, but they change the visual appearance. This effect is exacerbated in the case of irregularities such as mechanical damage or lack of adhesion of the thick films.
- the method according to the invention is able to meet the demand for a cost-effective method for producing a thin layer which does not change the surface color of the metal (no intrinsic color and thus has a sufficiently high transmission in the visible range), which polishes the surface structure (eg. sanded, matted), so that no "lacquer gloss" is produced which, in addition to a high corrosion stability, has a high mechanical resistance (scratch resistance, extensibility) and which has a high layer thickness uniformity even with complex geometries.
- the layer properties can be set within wide limits as described below.
- the hardness and the thickness of the coatings which can be produced by the process according to the invention, it is possible for a person skilled in the art to achieve an optimum with regard to the scratch resistance of the coating. If the hardness is too low, the deposited plasma polymer layer is not sufficiently scratch-resistant. However, if the hardness is too high, the scratch resistance will also decrease because the layer will then become too brittle. This can be recognized, for example, in the microscopic assessment of the defect image. Generally, the scratch resistance of the layer is determined by the appropriate choice of layer thickness and composition.
- the measurement of the hardness by means of nanoindentation is explained in Example 2.
- the composition of the gas mixture from which the plasma is generated must also be taken into account.
- a lower self-bias is generally to be chosen than at a low. The more readily a precursor can be ionized, the lower the plasma power must be to achieve a given self-bias. With a high electrical conductivity of the plasma, a low plasma power is needed to achieve a given self-bias.
- step B Preference is given to a method according to the invention, wherein a regulation takes place during step B, so that the self-bias is in the range from 100 to 400 V, preferably in the range from 100 to 300 V.
- the self-bias can e.g. be reduced with constant plasma power by the plasma excitation frequency is increased. However, it can alternatively and / or preferably be adjusted or influenced by applying an additional DC voltage to the electrode, so that it can be adjusted independently of other process parameters.
- An increase in the self-bias also causes an improvement in the layer thickness homogeneity. For example, it could be determined in own experiments that on a round substrate with a diameter of 10 cm, the maximum layer thickness can differ from the minimum layer thickness at 100 V self-bias by a factor of 1.1, while this factor at 200 V Self -Bias can be 1.005.
- step B the metal substrate in the plasma polymerization reactor is arranged so that it is connected as a cathode.
- the metal substrate acts when in direct electrically conductive contact with the portion of the cathode which is distinguishable from the metal substrate. This facilitates the achievement of a high rate of deposition of the positively charged ions of the plasma attracted to the cathode.
- the substrate itself acts as a cathode, the kinetic energy at which the positively charged ions impinge on the surface is increased.
- the structure of the layer changes in the direction of a smaller proportion of organic (usually consisting mainly of C and H) groups and a correspondingly higher proportion of Si and O. The same effect also occurs (possibly reduced) when the substrate Although not acting as a cathode, but is arranged in the acceleration path of the cations.
- no separate ion source is used in the process according to the invention.
- the layers which can be produced by the process according to the invention are organically modified SiO 2 frameworks.
- the organic components can be detected in the IR spectrum by bands at about 2950 cm -1 and at about 1275 cm -1 .
- they can be detected by measuring the surface energy with test inks. The higher the proportion of organic groups, the lower the surface energy. Therefore, the higher the self-bias is set, the greater the surface energy.
- step B the self-bias is set on the substrate.
- the dependence of the deposition rate and the layer properties of self-bias has already been explained. If the self-bias is set directly on the substrate and thus on the object to be coated, this facilitates the achievement of a layer with the desired precisely defined properties.
- a regulation is preferably carried out during step B, so that the self-bias is constant.
- the structure of the layer can be precisely controlled.
- Advantages of a self-bias which is as constant as possible are a homogeneous layer structure and a simple process transfer to a variety of substrates or a plurality of substrates.
- the self-bias is controlled directly. If the plasma power is regulated, the self-bias will generally not be completely constant, but will fluctuate by a certain amount. In such a case, it is preferable that the total fluctuation width of the self-bias is at most 5% of the time average, preferably at most 3%.
- step B a regulation takes place during step B so that the self-bias on the substrate is in the range from 100 to 400 V. , more preferably in the range of 100 to 300 V, in particular such that the self-bias is constant.
- an AC voltage be applied to the metallic substrate so that a self-bias is formed on the metallic ribbon.
- a microwave discharge in spatial proximity to the unwound strip can burn and thus provide the necessary high number of ions.
- An increase in the inflow of the organosilicon precursor (s) (in relation to optionally also inflowing O 2, in particular keeping the total inflow constant) generally causes a reduction in the hardness, an increase in the visible absorption (increase in the yellow index) Deterioration of the corrosion protection effect and an improvement in crack elongation.
- Si-H bonds With a high number of Si-H bonds in a layer produced according to the invention, an increased absorption of light of the ultraviolet and blue spectral range can be detected in the UV / Vis spectrum. This leads to an undesirable yellowing (increase in the yellow index). It is therefore desirable not to make the proportion of Si-H bonds too large. A reduction in self-bias prevents the formation of Si-H bonds in the coating. Likewise, the formation of Si-H bonds can be inhibited by a suitable selection of the amount and / or type of precursor (s). This is usually achieved by a reduction in the inflow of organosilicon precursors, which also reduces the proportion of organic groups in the coating. The occurrence of Si-H bonds can also be detected in the IR spectrum (2150 to 2250 cm -1 ).
- the formation of Si-H bonds in the coating is also reduced when a sufficient amount of oxygen is added to the plasma, which also reduces the level of organic groups in the coating.
- oxygen in the form of O 2
- all the substances supplied to the plasma in step B are gaseous before they enter the plasma polymerization reactor.
- oxygen (O 2 ) is supplied to the plasma, all the substances supplied to the plasma in step B are gaseous before entering the plasma polymerization reactor and the ratio of the gas flows of oxygen and precursor (s) (B) fed to the plasma in step B (in particular organosilicon precursors) in the range from 3: 1 to 5: 1.
- the ratio of the gas flows of oxygen and precursor (s) (B) fed to the plasma in step B in particular organosilicon precursors
- the O 2 flow can be increased.
- the inflow of the organosilicon precursor (s) or the self-bias can be reduced. If the coating is too hard and therefore too brittle, the self-bias can be reduced or the inflow of the organosilicon precursor (s) can be increased.
- the thermal conductivity, as well as the electrical conductivity is only slightly changed by the change in the actual plasma parameters within the claimed coating. Only the layer thickness is an essential parameter, so that it is possible to adapt the mechanical requirements of the coating as well as possible to the problem.
- step B as precursor (s) for the plasma one or more siloxanes, optionally oxygen (O 2 ) and preferably no further compounds are used.
- Siloxanes in particular hexamethyldisiloxane (HMDSO)
- HMDSO hexamethyldisiloxane
- the precursor (s) used for the plasma are HMDSO, optionally oxygen, and preferably no further compound.
- An increase in the inflow of HMDSO in relation to oxygen causes, inter alia, a reduction in the hardness, an increase in the absorption in the visible range and a deterioration of the corrosion protection effect.
- oxygen is supplied to the plasma in step B, all substances supplied to the plasma in step B are gaseous before entering the plasma polymerization reactor, the ratio of the gas flows of oxygen and precursor (s) supplied to the plasma in step B. ) is in the range from 1: 1 to 6: 1 and is used as precursor (s) for the plasma HMDSO, oxygen and in particular no further compound.

- step B is preferably carried out to a thickness of the deposited coating of greater than or equal to 2 ⁇ m, preferably greater than or equal to 4 ⁇ m.
- a thickness of the deposited coating of greater than or equal to 2 ⁇ m, preferably greater than or equal to 4 ⁇ m.
- a higher thickness of> 4 microns, preferably> 50 microns to about 100 microns is possible and preferred due to the low residual stresses of the coating.
- step B the deposition rate is set to a value of greater than or equal to 0.2 ⁇ m / min, preferably greater than or equal to 0.3 ⁇ m / min.
- a value of 0.5 ⁇ m / min can be selected.
- high deposition rates increase the economic efficiency of the process according to the invention and also facilitate the adjustment of the desired layer properties.
- the metal substrate is a non-ferrous metal substrate selected from the group of substrates consisting of: brass, copper or bronze with a cleaned, uncoated surface.
- the substrate surfaces are optionally mechanically and / or electrically glazed and / or luster-etched or refined by a chemical, electrochemical or mechanical pretreatment, for example, luster-bleached, electropolished or polished.

- step B non-fragmented organosilicon compounds are present within the plasma polymerization reactor which react with reactive sites on the surface of the coating to form a hydrophobic surface.
- This can be achieved by first leaving the unfragmented organosilicon precursor (s) in the reactor after switching off the plasma source, thus giving the opportunity to react with the surface radicals of the plasma polymer layer.

- the plasma coating is then deposited on the prepurified substrate surface in step B of the method according to the invention.
- hexamethyldisiloxane HMDSO
- the self-bias voltage is controlled to set a value of 100V, 250V, 300V and 400V respectively.
- the coating proved to be more scratch-resistant than a compacted anodized coating with a layer thickness of about 8 ⁇ m, but a significantly higher crack elongation of 2.8% was observed. By contrast, the crack elongation for the anodized coating was only 0.5%.
- an eccentric device (Starnberger) was used.
- an approximately 8 ⁇ m thick anodized surface (not according to the invention)
- an approximately 500 nm thick plasma-polymer coating produced by a process of the prior art (not according to the invention) was applied to a felt plate loaded with a 1 kg weight.
- the anodization surface was already visibly scratched after about 300 strokes after about 300 double strokes and the non-inventive plasma polymer coating after about 500 strokes.
- no optically detectable scratches could be detected even after 10,000 strokes.
- the good corrosion protection properties of the coating produced by plasma polymerization according to the invention apply in acidic (20% sulfuric acid, 45 min, 65 ° C) as in basic (NaOH, pH 14, 5 min, 30 ° C) media. After these corrosion tests, no visible damage or no infiltration of coating edges could be detected.
- the infrared spectrum of this coating shows FIG. 1 , The CH valence vibrations at 2966 cm -1 , the Si-H oscillation at 2238 cm -1 , the Si-CH 2 -Si oscillation at approx. 1360 cm -1 , and the Si-CH 3 deformation vibration are clearly visible 1273 cm -1 , the Si-O vibrations at 1192 cm -1 and 820 cm -1, respectively.
- the band ratio (according to Example 4) between Si-H and Si-CH 3 is about 1: 5.
- the IR spectrum shows a small peak at 1360 cm-1. This band is correlated with a Si-CH 2 -Si vibration.
- the hardness of the coating was determined according to Example 2. It is 3 GPa. The pencil hardness is 4H.
- the coating is homogeneous in depth.
- the proportions of carbon are about 10%, silicon about 10%, hydrogen about 30% and oxygen about 50%.
- a scanning electron microscopic examination of the fracture edge of the plasma polymer layer shows, on the one hand, a scaly break as known for brittle materials (glass) and, on the other hand, small step-like fractures expected for crystalline materials.
- the experiment is performed as in Embodiment 5, but to increase the deposition rate and thus to shorten the process time, a plasma generator oscillating at a frequency of 27.12 MHz was used. With equal gas flows (HMDSO: 66 sccm, O 2 : 280 sccm) and self-bias voltage (250 V), the deposition rate is increased by a factor of 1.5.
- the coating properties change only insignificantly and are very similar to those of the coating of Example 5.
- the dependence of the scratch and abrasion protection properties were determined as a function of the layer thickness.
- the substrate used was 600 ⁇ m thick stainless steel sheet (1.4544).
- the layer thickness was defined by the coating time.
- the scratch protection was checked by particle bombardment (50 ⁇ m corundum, speed 100 km / h, time 3 min, particle flow 33 g / min / cm 2 ).
- the coating parameters are shown in Table 3.
- the thermal parameters were determined by the flash method. Its principle is to suddenly heat the front of a sample by a short pulse of light and then measure how much time the heat front reaches the back of the sample. Flash methods provide the primary measure of the thermal conductivity ( ⁇ ) of the sample, which can be converted into the thermal conductivity ( ⁇ ) with knowledge of density (p) and heat capacity (Cp).
- the measuring principle picture is in Fig. 2 shown.
- ⁇ W / mK ⁇ mm 2 / s ⁇ Cp J / gK ⁇ ⁇ G / cm 3
- the method can also be applied to multi-layered samples.
- the thermal conductivity of an unknown layer can be determined if the thermophysical parameters ( ⁇ , Cp, p) of all other layers are known.
- Table 5 The data for the uncoated stainless steel sample can be found in Table 5: Table 5 density 7.93 g / cm 3 (Density scale according to the principle of buoyancy, medium: water, 24 ° C) heat capacity 0.47 J / gK (power-compensated DSC, 25 ° C) Dimensions of the test pieces for the flash measurement 12.7 x 12, 7 x 0.58 mm 3 (Micrometer) thermal diffusivity 3.85 ⁇ 0.02 mm 2 / s (Netzsch Nanoflash LFA 447, 25 ° C) Thermal conductivity (25 ° C) 14.3 W / mK (about ⁇ 10%)

- the layers measured here are particularly suitable for the coating of injection molds.
- a brass door handle was equipped with a corrosion and scratch resistant coating.
- the door handle has been switched as a cathode, so that during the deposition a constant self-bias voltage of -250 V prevailed.
- a coating time of 20 minutes and an HMDSO or O 2 flow of 66 sccm and 280 sccm After a coating time of 20 minutes and an HMDSO or O 2 flow of 66 sccm and 280 sccm, a transparent and interference-free layer of about 5 ⁇ m was formed on the handle. The color impression of the handle was unchanged.
- the resistance of the coating to sweat was tested by incorporation into artificial sweat for 96 hours. The handle showed no visible change, the layer adhesion was not reduced.
