Definitions
- This invention relates to articles having magnesium-containing metal surfaces with an electroceramic coating chemically bonded to the metal surfaces and to articles having a composite coating comprising first sectors of electroceramic coating and second sectors comprising organic and/or inorganic components different from the electroceramic coating.
- the invention further relates to processes of making and using the articles.
- the light weight ( ⁇ 1.74 gm/cm 3 density) and strength of magnesium and magnesium alloys makes products fashioned therefrom highly desirable for use in manufacturing parts, for example, electronic devices, including handheld electronic devices; motor vehicles; aircraft and other products where low density is beneficial.
- One method used to improve corrosion resistance of metal surfaces is anodization, see for example U.S. Pat. No. 4,978,432, U.S. Pat. No. 4,978,432 and U.S. Pat. No. 5,264,113.
- a metal (M) surface is electrochemical ly oxidized to form metal oxides (MOx) from the metal surface thereby creating a coating layer.
- MOx metal oxides
- anodization of magnesium and magnesium alloys generating MgO affords some protection against corrosion, improvements in corrosion performance are desirable.
- conventional anodization often fails to form a protective layer on the entire surface of a complex workpiece. Anodized coatings have been found to contain cracks, some down to the metal surface, at sharp corners. Further, adhesion of paint to anodized magnesium surfaces is often insufficient and improvements are needed.

- PEO Plasma Electrolytic Oxidation
- PEO processing of magnesium and its alloys oxidizes the magnesium producing a coating that contains crystalline magnesium oxide (60-80 vol. %) with minor amounts of magnesium silicate and/or magnesium phosphate, depending on the content of the PEO bath.
- PEO processes have disadvantages including weaker throwing power that can result in thin coatings on inner or less accessible surface areas of the substrate. Due to the voltage and amperage required to generate the "glow” or “sparking" needed for PEO, the process has electricity consumption greater than processes which do not require micro-arc discharges.
- the resulting oxide layer produced using PEO consists of two sub-layers, the outer layer is a brittle sub-layer with a porosity of more than 15%, which is removed by an additional polishing step. Removal of the outer layer has the disadvantages of additional processing and, often, manual labor, as well as loss of dimensional integrity of the article and challenges in uniformly polishing complex articles or those having non-uniform coating layers due to throw-power limitations of PEO.

- has three main phases namely primary a ⁇ i.e. matrix), eutectic a (i.e. Al-rich a) and ⁇ phase (Mg17AI12 intermetallic), since the substrate is electrochemically heterogeneous each constituent reacts differently in the an electrolytic coating bath leading to non-uniform coating growth which tends to degrade the corrosion resistance of coatings.

- electroceramic coating process also has lower cooling requirements for the electrolyte compared to PEO/MAO, generally less than 20%, 15% or 10% cooling of the electrolyte needed, which is in part due to the lack of spark generation.
- magnesium-containing surfaces Prior to electrolytic coating, magnesium-containing surfaces may be subjected to one or more of cleaning, etching, deoxidizing and desmutting steps, with or without rinsing steps. Cleaning may be alkaline cleaning and a cleaner may be used to etch the surfaces. A suitable cleaner for this purpose is Parco Cleaner 305, an alkaline cleaner commercially available from Henkel Corporation. Desirably, the magnesium-containing surfaces may be etched by at least in increasing order of preference , 3, 5, 7, 10, or 15 g/m2 and independently preferably, at least for economy, not more than 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45 or 50 g/m2. Etching can be accomplished using commercially available etchants and/or deoxidizers for magnesium.
- a desmutting step may also be included in processing.
- Suitable desmutters include acids such as carboxylic acids, e.g. hydroxyacetic acid, alone or in combination with chelators and nitrates. If any of the above-described steps is utilized, the magnesium- containing surfaces are typically rinsed as a final step to reduce introduction of the prior steps' chemistries into the electrolyte.

- any post- treatments including for example additional layers described herein, are durably bound to the inorganic-based coating; while other removable layers for masking during manufacture or for shipping after coating may be applied.
- porous structure of the electrolytically deposited inorganic-based coatings on the magnesium containing article was a particular challenge for post-treatments that are not pore closing due to the significant surface area present on the internal surfaces of inorganic-based coatings.
- Surface area of inorganic-based coatings according to the invention is generally 75 to 100 times that of the original metal surface, by BET
- a vanadium-containing post- treatment step was surprisingly found to be a suitable method for introducing a second component for additional corrosion protection, in processes according to the invention, despite other post-treatments useful for anodized layers having little or no positive effect on corrosion resistance.
- conventional post-treatments for anodized magnesium, including nickel based salts and lithium salts were found to provide insufficient unpainted corrosion resistance.
- post-treatment of the in organic- based coating with a vanadium-containing composition provided improvements in corrosion resistance.
- the vanadium containing post-treatment step may be used immediately after deposition of the inorganic-based coating, which may be dried. Articles having the inorganic-based coating deposited thereon via electrolytic deposition may be rinsed for 1-30 seconds and then contacted with the vanadium containing composition.
- Vanadium can be present in the post-treatment in various oxidation states such as III, IV, and V.
- Sources of vanadium ions in the post-treatment can include metallic V, organic and inorganic V-containing materials, for example V-containing minerals and compounds.

- the vanadium containing compositions may also contact internal surfaces of the inorganic-based coating and/or react with elements of the internal surfaces rendering the inorganic-based coating more resistant to corrosion producing agents reaching the magnesium containing surface. Vanadium may further infiltrate the inorganic-based coating such that vanadium is distributed throughout at least a portion of the inorganic-based coating. Analysis of inorganic-based coatings according to the invention that have been contacted with a vanadium containing composition showed the presence of vanadium in the inorganic-based coating matrix.

- the vanadium containing composition may be reactive with elements in the inorganic-based coating. Contacting the inorganic-based coating with a vanadium-containing composition provides improved corrosion resistance and does not cover up the pores in external surfaces of the inorganic-based coating. This is beneficial if a subsequent paint step is to be used because the pores provide anchoring sites for adhering paint to the surface.
- Another post-treatment step which may be employed is depositing an additional layer comprising a polymer, preferably this may be done using a thermosetting resin which may or may not react with the inorganic-based coating.
- Average thickness of the polymeric second layer as measured from an external surface of the inorganic-based coating to an outer surface of the second layer, may range from, in order of increasing preference, at least about 0.1 , 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1 , 2, 3, 4, or 5 microns and in order of increasing preference, not more than about 14, 12, 10, 8 or 6 microns.
- typical paint thicknesses are at least 25 microns thick.
- Use of either a thin polymeric layer, as described above, or a paint generally covers the pores in the external surfaces of the inorganic-based coating, the pores providing improved adhesion of the polymer or paint and surprisingly resulting in a uniform surface.
- polymers forming the second layer may comprise organic polymer chains or inorganic polymer chains.
- polymers suitable for an additional layer include by way of non-limiting example, silicone, epoxy, phenolic, acrylic, polyurethane, polyester, and polyimide.
- organic polymers selected from epoxy, phenolic and polyimide are utilized.
- Preferred polymers forming additional layers include phenol-formaldehyde-based polymers and copolymers generated from, for example novolac resins, which have a formaldehyde to phenol molar ratio of less than one, and resole resins having a formaldehyde to phenol molar ratio of greater than one.
- Such polyphenol polymers can be made as is known in the art for example according to US Patent No. 5,891 ,952.
- Novolac resins are desirably used in combination with a crosslinking agent to facilitate curing.
- a resole resin having a formaldehyde to phenol molar ratio of about 1.5 is utilized to form a polymer additional layer on the inorganic-based coating.
- Phenolic resins useful in forming polymeric layers desirably have molecular weights of about 1000 to about 5000 g/mole, preferably 2000 to 4000 g/mole.
- At least one of the above-described resins is desirably introduced to the first layer of inorganic-based coating, contacting at least the external surfaces thereof, and crosslinking to thereby form a polymeric layer on external surfaces of the inorganic-based coating.
- This polymeric second layer is different from the inorganic-based coating and is adhered to the inorganic-based coating.
- the resin may also contact internal surfaces of the inorganic-based coating and upon curing form a polymeric second component that is different from the inorganic-based coating and distributed throughout at least a portion of the inorganic-based coating.
- Analysis of inorganic-based coatings according to the invention that have been contacted with a resole resin having a formaldehyde to phenol molar ratio of 1.5 showed the polymeric components present in the inorganic-based coating matrix thereby forming a composite coating.
- Depth of penetration of polymeric second components into the inorganic-based coating matrix may range in increasing order of preference from 1 , 2, 5, 10, 15, 20 or 25% and in increasing order of preference may be not more than 70, 65, 60, 55 or 50, 45, 40 or 35% of total thickness of the inorganic-based coating, said total thickness being measured from the first interface to the external surface of the inorganic-based coating.
- the resin may comprise functional groups reactive with elements in the inorganic-based coating, which may form bonds between the resin and the inorganic-based coating.
- uncured novolac and resole resins comprise OH functional groups which may react with metals in the inorganic-based coating thereby linking the polymer to the inorganic-based coating.
- Coated substrates according to the invention are useful in motor vehicles; aircraft and electronics where the combination of the inorganic-based coating and post- treatment layers can provide more corrosion protection than paint or anodizing alone, while ceramic-type hardness of the combination imparts additional toughness to external layers because sharp objects have greater difficulty in deforming a harder substrate prime layer than magnesium, which is relatively soft as compared to ceramic. Coatings according to the invention also can be beneficial in keeping the topcoat gloss and color readings relatively consistent by providing a relatively uniform paint base.
- the process and coated articles of the invention provide a more uniform surface layer on magnesium alloys, by way of non-limiting example AZ91 B, AZ91 D and AZ31 B, and magnesium containing surfaces having contamination, which provides improved corrosion resistance.
- the AZ-31 Mg alloy panels were about 93-97 wt.% Mg, the remainder being made up of Al, Zn, Mn, and less than 0,5 wt.% of other metal and metalloid impurities.

The coated panels were removed from the electrolyte bath and rinsed with Dl water for 300 sec. The coating was observed to have a uniform surface appearance and a thickness of 4 microns. The electro lytically deposited inorganic- based coating was not dried. Thereafter, each coated panel was immersed in an aqueous post-treatment containing one of the compositions recited in Table 1.

- Urethane paint utilized was PCU 73101 silver powder paint (PPG) cured at 375 °F for 25 min.
- Example 5 Inorganic-based coating process variations in painted corrosion performance
- AZ-91 Mg alloy panels were used for this example and were cleaned as described above. Each of the panels was immersed in one of the electrolyte baths shown in the below table. Fluoride concentration measurement was made with a 101 D meter which measures the fluoride attack on a silicon wafer according to the manufacturer's instructions. The panels were electrolyzed as the anode using a 25 msec, on and 9 msec off square waveform for about 180 seconds. An edge-covering, inorganic-based coating having a uniform surface containing pores, resulted on each of the panels. The coated panels were removed from the electrolyte baths, rinsed with Dl water for 240 sec. and allowed to dry.
- the panels were painted with a liquid paint cured according to manufacturer's specification.
- the Mg alloy panels coated with the inorganic-based coating and cured layer of paint were tested for corrosion resistance according to ASTM B-117 for 504 hours and were tested for cross-hatch adhesion according to ASTM 3359 method B and the results are shown in the Table 5 below. Table 5
- N means no corrosion visible at the scribe.
- ASTM 3359 scale is 0 to 5, 5: no removal or peeling, edges of the cuts are smooth and none of the squares of the lattice is detached.
- Sample Groups 5.1 to 5.12 having an inorganic-based coating and a layer of paint showed excellent corrosion resistance and paint adhesion across a range of process parameters and coating thicknesses.
- the above table shows that by controlling the alkalinity, fluoride concentration and temperature of the electrolyte, the ramp time to Vmax can be and coating thickness can be controlled for a given contact time, current and waveform. Using these non-linear relationships Vmax can be reduced thereby increasing throughput of the process without adversely affecting corrosion resistance or paint adhesion
- Example 6 Inorganic-based coating with an organic second layer
- This experiment tested a new set of samples according to the procedure of Example 1 except that the panels were electrolyzed for a time sufficient to generate a uniform, edge-covering, inorganic-based coating, and an organic-based post-treatment was used instead of a post-treatment.
- the post-treatment used was a resole resin comprising phenol formaldehyde condensate with a degree of polymerization greater than 1.5.
- the panel was allowed to dry. Thereafter the organic-based post-treatment was applied and dried for 20 minutes at 160 C C (320 °F).
- a first set of panels were provided with a post-treatment having a dried thickness of 6 microns, resulting in a total inorganic/organic coating thickness of 12 microns.
- a second set of panels were provided with a post-treatment having a dried thickness of 10 microns, resulting in a total inorganic/organic coating thickness of 16 microns. All panels were tested for corrosion resistance according to ASTM B-117. After 1000 hours of testing the panels showed no corrosion at the scribe and did not show any field or edge corrosion.
- Example 8 Bare inorganic-based coating performance
- Thermal Shock Testing comprises baking panels at 550 °C for 60 minutes, removing panels from the oven, immersing the panels in ice water (0°C) without a cooling step and testing for adhesion using ASTM 3359 method B (Crosshatch).
- Adhesive Bonding was tested by creating specimens from uncoated Mg alloy panels and from panels coated according to Example 8. Each specimen had a lap joint with 1" overlapping epoxy structural adhesive and 1" wide shear specimens. Force was applied at a controlled rate to each specimen until the bond at the lap joint failed and the maximum force was recorded. Reverse Impact Resistance was tested according to ASTM D2794. Vickers hardness measurement was by nanoindentation and appears to be affected by the underlying alloy.
