Abstract

813,994. Anodizing zinc and zinc alloys. BRITISH NON-FERROUS METALS RESEARCH ASSOCIATION. Jan. 17, 1957 [Oct. 21, 1955], No. 30168/55. Class 41. A protective surface coating is formed on zinc or zinc alloy by anodizing at 10 to 300 volts in a dilute aqueous solution of an oxide or hydroxide of an alkali metal or alkaline earth metal or of ammonia together with at least one alkali metal salt of an acid which forms a sparingly soluble or insoluble zinc salt, e.g. carbonic, silicic, boric, phosphoric, oxalic, or succinic acid, this first treatment being followed by a second treatment at elevated temperature and pressure, e.g. 150‹ C. and 50 1b./sq. inch, with a dilute solution of an alkali metal silicate and optionally of an alkali metal salt of another acid which forms a sparingly soluble or insoluble zinc salt. In a modification, the anodizing treatment is repeated substituting for the alkali metal salt used in the first treatment an alkali metal salt of a different acid which forms a sparingly soluble zinc salt, followed if desired by the said second treatment at elevated temperature and pressure. In examples zinc is anodized in a caustic soda-sodium carbonate solution at an applied potential rising from 15 to 110 volts and is then autoclaved in a sodium silicate solution made alkaline with caustic soda; for diecast zinc-base alloy the treatment is similar but the water-glass autoclaving solution contains no caustic soda; while in the modified process omitting the autoclaving treatment, for pure zinc a second anodizing is effected in a solution of sodium borate, water glass and caustic soda at a voltage rising rapidly to 120 volts and then more slowly to 200 volts with accompanying sparking, while for a zinc base-aluminium-magnesium alloy the second anodizing is effected at a voltage rising to 230 volts in a similar solution containing less caustic soda. The Provisional Specification describes also processes in which after the first anodizing treatment the treated surface is boiled in a dilute aqueous solution of an alkali metal, alkali earth metal, or ammonium silicate, sulphide, or chromate, followed if desired by stoving at atmospheric pressure. Similar solutions may be used for a second anodizing treatment or for the autoclaving treatment.
