PROCEDE ET DISPOSITIF POUR IE TRAITEMENT DE SEEFACE DE ME < AUX TELS QUE I2 CUIVRE PAR OnDÂTION. METHOD AND DEVICE FOR THE TREATMENT OF ME SEEFACE OF SUCH AS I2 COPPER BY ONDATION.
Ia présente invention concerne un procédé et un mélange pour produire l'oxydation de surface d'une pièce en un métal tel que le cuivre. The present invention relates to a method and a mixture for producing the surface oxidation of a part into a metal such as copper.
L'oxydation de surface de pièces métalliques est généralement utilisée pour leur conférer une couleur ou un aspect particulier, et notamment un aspect de vieilli. Les procédés actuellement utilisés consistent généralement à plonger la pièce en métal i oxyder dans un bain oxydant i température relativement élevée, pendant une durée relativement longue, par exemple de une i plusieurs heures. The surface oxidation of metal parts is generally used to give them a particular color or appearance, and in particular an aged appearance. The methods currently used generally consist in immersing the metal part to be oxidized in an oxidizing bath at a relatively high temperature, for a relatively long period, for example from one to several hours.
Tous les procédés connus produisent en surface de la pièce une couche oxydée de couleur plus ou moins sombre et relativement régulière.All the known processes produce on the surface of the part an oxidized layer of more or less dark color and relatively regular.
La mise en oeuvre de ces procédés est relativement lon gue, ce qui limite le débit des installations de production en grande série, et il est nécessaire de porter les bains A une température re lativement haute ce qui est 9 la fois une source de dangers lors de l'utilisation et une source de perte de temps à la mise en service de l'installation.En outre, les surfaces ainsi obtenues ont un aspect relativement régulier et peu varié Les surfaces obtenues sont soit trop tendres pour résister aux chocs soit trop dures pour permettre leur traitement ultérieur par brossage
La présente invention se propose notamment d1 obvier aux inconvénients des procédés connus par l1 utilisation d'un mélange permettant le traitement de pièces métalliques cuivreuses i froid, ce traitement étant particulièrement rapide, de Il ordre de quelques se condes. The implementation of these methods is relatively long, which limits the throughput of mass production plants, and it is necessary to bring the baths to a relatively high temperature which is both a source of danger during of use and a source of loss of time during the commissioning of the installation. In addition, the surfaces thus obtained have a relatively regular appearance and little variation. The surfaces obtained are either too soft to withstand impacts or too hard. to allow further treatment by brushing
The present invention proposes in particular to obviate the drawbacks of the known methods by the use of a mixture allowing the treatment of copper-colored metal parts when cold, this treatment being particularly rapid, of the order of a few seconds.
Un autre objet de I1 invention est de proposer un procédé et un mélange permettant obtenir des surfaces présentant des qualités mécaniques excellentes, et réalisant notamment un bon comP promis entre la dureté pour résister aux chocs et la friabilité pour en permettre le traitement mécanique ultérieur par brossage. Another object of the invention is to provide a method and a mixture which make it possible to obtain surfaces having excellent mechanical qualities, and in particular achieving a good promised promise between hardness to resist impact and brittleness to allow subsequent mechanical treatment by brushing. .
Un autre obJet de de l'invention est de proposer-un procé- - dé permettant de traiter plus particulièrement les métaux cuivrés tels que les laitons, ou les laitons recouverts préalablement de cuivre par électrolyse. Another object of the invention is to propose a process making it possible to more particularly treat copper-clad metals such as brasses, or brasses previously coated with copper by electrolysis.
Pour ce faire, le procédé consiste à plonger la pièce de métal à traiter dans un bain contenant de l'ammoniaque et du carbonate de cuivre en solution aqueuse, puis de retirer la pièce pour la faire sécher. On obtient ainsi une surface oxydée relativement dure. To do this, the method consists in immersing the piece of metal to be treated in a bath containing ammonia and copper carbonate in aqueous solution, then removing the piece to dry it. This gives a relatively hard oxidized surface.
Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, on soumet ensuite la pièce a un brossage à sec pour en éliminer partiellement la couche superficielle oxydée. La surface obtenue présente un aspect satiné. According to another characteristic of the invention, the part is then subjected to dry brushing in order to partially remove the oxidized surface layer therefrom. The surface obtained has a satin appearance.
Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, le bain dans lequel on plonge la pièce contient, pour dix litres de mélange, environ cinq litres d'ammoniaque comprenant de dix à trente cinq pour cent d'^mmoniac anhydre, et cinquante à cinq cents grammes de carbonate de cuivre par litre de solution. On pourra par exemple utiliser deux cent cinquante gramens de carbonate de cuivre par litre. Un tel mélange permet de réaliser une oxydation superficielle du métal et d'obtenir une couche superficielle permettant un traitement à iroid et très rapide de la pièce métallique tout en laissant la possibilité d'un brossage ultérieur pour obtenir un effet satiné. According to another characteristic of the invention, the bath in which the part is immersed contains, for ten liters of mixture, approximately five liters of ammonia comprising from ten to thirty five percent of anhydrous ammonia, and fifty to five hundred grams of copper carbonate per liter of solution. We can for example use two hundred and fifty grams of copper carbonate per liter. Such a mixture makes it possible to carry out a surface oxidation of the metal and to obtain a surface layer allowing a very rapid and iridescent treatment of the metal part while leaving the possibility of a subsequent brushing to obtain a satin effect.
Selon une autre caractéristique de l'inventionw et no tamment pour le traitement de pièces 8 métalliques en laiton recouvert de cuivre, on incorpore au mélange précédent une faible quantité de polysulfure. On a déterminé que le traitement est ainsi nettement amélioré et plus rapide. According to another characteristic of the invention, and in particular for the treatment of metal parts 8 made of brass covered with copper, a small amount of polysulphide is incorporated into the preceding mixture. It has been determined that the treatment is thus significantly improved and faster.
D'autres caractéristiques et avantages de la présente invention ressortiront de la description suivante d'un mode de réalisation particulier, faite à titre illustratif mais non limitatif. Other characteristics and advantages of the present invention will emerge from the following description of a particular embodiment, given by way of illustration but not limitation.
Pour-traiter la surface d'une pièce métallique cuivrée en vue de lui conférer un aspect satiné et vieilli, la présente invention prévoit plusieurs étapes 2 - on plonge la pièce dans un bain contenant de l'ammoniaque et du carbonate de cuivre en solution aqueuse ; la solution peut être froide, c'est à dire à température ambiante, et la plongée peut durer de dix a quinze secondes. le bai:pourra être réalisé en mélgngeaat, pour obtenir par exemple dix litres de mélange, environ cinq litres d'ammoniaque contenant dix à trente cinq pour cent d'ammoniac anhydre, et de cinquante à cinq cents grammes par litre de carbonate de cuivre. To treat the surface of a copper-plated metal part with a view to giving it a satin and aged appearance, the present invention provides for several steps 2 - the part is immersed in a bath containing ammonia and copper carbonate in aqueous solution. ; the solution can be cold, ie at room temperature, and the dive can last from ten to fifteen seconds. the bay: could be made in a melgeaat, to obtain for example ten liters of mixture, approximately five liters of ammonia containing ten to thirty five percent of anhydrous ammonia, and fifty to five hundred grams per liter of copper carbonate.
On obtiendra de bons résultats avec deux cent cinquante grammes par litre de carbonate de cuivre.Good results will be obtained with two hundred and fifty grams per liter of copper carbonate.
- l'étape suivante consiste à retirer la pièce du bain pour la faire sécher. Cette étape peut durer environ vingt quatre heures.- the next step is to remove the piece from the bath to dry it. This stage can last around twenty four hours.
- l'étape suivante consiste à faire subir à la pièce ainsi traitée un brossage à sec destiné à en éliminer partiellement la couche superficielle oxydée. Ce brossage pourra entre réalisé à l'aide d'une brosse en matière abrasive, notamment à baae de matière plastique.the next step consists in subjecting the piece thus treated to dry brushing intended to partially remove the oxidized surface layer therefrom. This brushing may be carried out using a brush made of abrasive material, in particular with a plastic material.
Le traitement de pièces 8 métalliques en laiton cuivré pourra nécessiter l'addiction dans le mélange d'une faible quantité de polysulfure par exemple une proportion de cinq pour cent. On pour- ra notamment utiliser un polysalure de calcium. The treatment of metallic pieces 8 of copper-plated brass may require the addition of a small amount of polysulphide, for example a proportion of five percent. We could in particular use a calcium polysalide.
le procédé précédemment décrit permet le traitement de pièces métalliques telles que des robinets ou autres pièces auxquelles on veut conférer un aspect vieilli. the previously described process allows the treatment of metal parts such as taps or other parts which we want to give an aged appearance.
