Description
本発明は、マグネシウム系金属の表面処理方法に関し、より詳しくは、環境に優しく、金属質感を実現するマグネシウム系金属の表面処理方法に関する。 The present invention relates to a surface treatment method for a magnesium-based metal, and more particularly to a surface treatment method for a magnesium-based metal that is environmentally friendly and realizes a metal texture.
マグネシウム系金属は、重量的な側面からアルミニウム系金属に代えて将来最も有望なエンジニアリング材料となるものと予想されている。 Magnesium-based metals are expected to become the most promising engineering materials in the future in place of aluminum-based metals in terms of weight.
現在、マグネシウムとアルミニウムの価格が殆ど同じであるが、マグネシウムは、アルミニウムよりも質量が軽いということで、軽量化に大きな比重を置いた自動車、飛行機、ラップトップコンピュータまたは携帯電話等においてさらに有利な位置を占めている。例えば、自動車分野では、燃費の向上を目的とする車両軽量化のために、鉄鋼やアルミニウム合金を用いていた部材にマグネシウム合金を適用し始めている。 At present, the prices of magnesium and aluminum are almost the same. However, magnesium is lighter than aluminum, so it is even more advantageous for automobiles, airplanes, laptop computers, mobile phones, etc. that place great weight on weight reduction. Occupies a position. For example, in the automobile field, in order to reduce vehicle weight for the purpose of improving fuel efficiency, magnesium alloys have begun to be applied to members that used steel or aluminum alloys.
最近、環境的な側面からも、リサイクル性に優れたマグネシウム合金を構造用金属材料として積極的に用いる傾向にある。例えば、家電分野では、ノート型コンピュータ、パーソナルコンピュータ、携帯電話のケースを中心として、従来のプラスチックからリサイクル性に優れたマグネシウム合金に移る傾向にある。 Recently, from the environmental aspect, magnesium alloys having excellent recyclability tend to be actively used as structural metal materials. For example, in the home appliance field, there is a tendency to shift from conventional plastics to magnesium alloys with excellent recyclability, mainly in the case of notebook computers, personal computers, and mobile phones.
このようなマグネシウム合金は、常用金属のうち、最も化学的活性度が大きな金属であり、一般に、表面処理されない場合、大気中や溶液中で極めて速く腐食する特徴を示すので、鉄鋼やアルミニウム合金の場合よりも、表面処理工程で緻密かつ均一な皮膜を形成させることが重要である。しかし、マグネシウム合金は、緻密かつ均一な皮膜を形成させることが極めて難しい材料でもある。これは、マグネシウム合金の表面が、化学的に均一でないからである。マクロ偏析とミクロ偏析により、マグネシウム合金表面が化学的に不均一になり、これにより、緻密かつ均一な皮膜を形成させ難くしている。また、表面に生成する酸化膜は、Mg(OH)2からなる不透過性酸化膜(不透明酸化膜)であるため、マグネシウム特有の金属質感を実現することができなかった。 Such a magnesium alloy is a metal having the highest chemical activity among ordinary metals, and generally shows a feature that it corrodes very quickly in the air or in a solution when it is not surface-treated. It is more important than the case to form a dense and uniform film in the surface treatment process. However, magnesium alloys are also extremely difficult to form a dense and uniform film. This is because the surface of the magnesium alloy is not chemically uniform. Due to macrosegregation and microsegregation, the magnesium alloy surface becomes chemically non-uniform, which makes it difficult to form a dense and uniform film. In addition, since the oxide film generated on the surface is an impermeable oxide film (opaque oxide film) made of Mg (OH) 2 , a metal texture peculiar to magnesium cannot be realized.
マグネシウム合金の表面処理方法のうち、最も多く用いられている方法は、化成処理方法または陽極酸化処理方法である。両方法共に、脱脂、酸洗等の前処理工程を経てから実施されるが、マグネシウム合金の表面に機能性を加えることができるのは陽極酸化方法に限られる。 Of the surface treatment methods for magnesium alloys, the most frequently used method is a chemical conversion treatment method or an anodization treatment method. Both methods are carried out after passing through pretreatment steps such as degreasing and pickling, but the ability to add functionality to the surface of the magnesium alloy is limited to the anodic oxidation method.
従来のマグネシウム合金の表面処理方法のうち、陽極酸化方法としてはHAE法、DOW17法、ガルバノ法等が広く知られているが、これらの方法は、重金属であるマンガン、クロム等を含有する電解液を用いるので、重金属を含有する廃水の発生及び製品の有害性を引き起こすという問題点があった。 Among the conventional surface treatment methods for magnesium alloys, HAE method, DOW17 method, galvano method and the like are widely known as anodizing methods. These methods are electrolytes containing heavy metals such as manganese and chromium. Therefore, there is a problem that generation of waste water containing heavy metals and product toxicity are caused.
また、従来の陽極酸化処理方法では、特許文献1に開示されたように、強塩基性電解液において100V以上の高電圧を印加して酸化皮膜を形成するか、または、特許文献2に開示されたように、弱塩基性電解液において−200〜400Vの交流電圧をパルス方式で印加して不透過性の酸化皮膜を形成している。 Further, in the conventional anodizing method, as disclosed in Patent Document 1, an oxide film is formed by applying a high voltage of 100 V or higher in a strongly basic electrolyte, or disclosed in Patent Document 2. As described above, an impermeable oxide film is formed by applying an AC voltage of −200 to 400 V in a weakly basic electrolytic solution by a pulse method.
しかしながら、上述した従来技術は、白色、褐色等に着色された不透過性膜を生成するので、マグネシウム系金属本来の質感を表現し難い。したがって、マグネシウム合金の表面に透明な陽極酸化膜を形成し、マグネシウム合金の金属質感を実現する技術の必要性が当該技術の分野に存在する。また、マグネシウム合金の表面に良質の陽極酸化膜を形成するに当たって、マグネシウム合金の表面を陽極酸化膜の形成に適した表面に変える作業が要求される。陽極酸化処理方法の前処理用研磨技術として、クロム酸とHF等を含む化学研磨液を用いる化学研磨技術が知られている。しかし、この技術は、化学研磨液の危険性が高くかつ高価であるという重大な問題点が指摘されている。 However, since the above-described conventional technology produces an impermeable film colored in white, brown, etc., it is difficult to express the original texture of the magnesium-based metal. Accordingly, there is a need in the art for a technique for forming a transparent anodic oxide film on the surface of a magnesium alloy and realizing the metallic texture of the magnesium alloy. Further, in forming a good quality anodic oxide film on the surface of the magnesium alloy, an operation of changing the surface of the magnesium alloy to a surface suitable for forming the anodic oxide film is required. As a pretreatment polishing technique for the anodizing method, a chemical polishing technique using a chemical polishing liquid containing chromic acid and HF is known. However, this technique has been pointed out to have a serious problem that the chemical polishing liquid has a high risk and is expensive.
本発明は、上記問題点に鑑みなされたものであり、その目的は、環境に優しい電解液を用いながらも、金属質感を実現する良質の透明陽極酸化膜をマグネシウム系金属の表面に形成することができる、マグネシウム系金属の表面処理方法を提供することにある。
また、本発明の他の目的は、陽極酸化膜の形成前に、安価で安全な化学研磨を通じて、より良質の陽極酸化膜を実現することができるマグネシウム系金属の表面処理方法を提供することにある。
The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and its purpose is to form a high-quality transparent anodic oxide film on the surface of a magnesium-based metal that achieves a metallic texture while using an environmentally friendly electrolyte. An object of the present invention is to provide a surface treatment method for a magnesium-based metal.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a magnesium-based metal surface treatment method capable of realizing a higher quality anodic oxide film through cheap and safe chemical polishing before the formation of the anodic oxide film. is there.
上記目的を達成するために、本発明の一側面によると、硝酸ナトリウムとクエン酸ナトリウムを含む化学研磨液を用いてマグネシウム系金属の表面を化学研磨する光沢研磨ステップと、前記光沢研磨ステップを経たマグネシウム系金属をpH11以上の強塩基性電解液内に浸漬させるステップと、前記強塩基性電解液内で前記マグネシウム系金属に電流密度0.01〜1A/dm2の電流を印加することによって、前記マグネシウム系金属の表面に透明な陽極酸化膜を形成する陽極酸化処理ステップと、を含むマグネシウム系金属の表面処理方法が提供される。 In order to achieve the above object, according to one aspect of the present invention, a gloss polishing step of chemically polishing a surface of a magnesium-based metal using a chemical polishing liquid containing sodium nitrate and sodium citrate, and the gloss polishing step is performed. Immersing the magnesium-based metal in a strongly basic electrolyte having a pH of 11 or more, and applying a current having a current density of 0.01 to 1 A / dm 2 to the magnesium-based metal in the strongly basic electrolyte. There is provided a surface treatment method for a magnesium-based metal, comprising an anodizing step of forming a transparent anodized film on the surface of the magnesium-based metal.
前記陽極酸化処理ステップにおいて、前記電流の電流密度が0.01〜1A/dm2であることが好ましく、電流密度が1A/dm2を超過する場合、マグネシウム系金属の表面に不規則な酸化膜が生成し、このような不規則な酸化膜は、金属質感を実現し難くする。また、電流密度が0.01A/dm2未満である場合は、透明な陽極酸化膜の形成が難しい。より好ましくは、前記電流密度は、0.2〜0.7A/dm2であり、この際、酸化処理ステップは約3分で行われる。また、前記陽極酸化処理ステップにおいて印加される電圧を10V以下に制限することが好ましい。 In the anodizing step, it is preferable that the current density of the current is 0.01~1A / dm 2, when the current density exceeds 1A / dm 2, irregular oxide film on the surface of the magnesium-based metal Such an irregular oxide film makes it difficult to achieve a metal texture. Moreover, when the current density is less than 0.01 A / dm 2 , it is difficult to form a transparent anodic oxide film. More preferably, the current density is 0.2 to 0.7 A / dm 2 , wherein the oxidation treatment step is performed in about 3 minutes. Moreover, it is preferable to limit the voltage applied in the anodizing treatment step to 10 V or less.

The temperature of the electrolytic solution is preferably maintained at 20 to 70 ° C. The oxide film obtained after the anodizing treatment step is transparent to the extent that the metal texture of the magnesium alloy, which is the lower structure (substructure), can be realized. It looks as if the surface with a metallic texture is colored. The dye may be at least one selected from cobalt acetate, potassium permanganate, ammonium sulfide, ferric sulfate, potassium ferrocyanide, nickel sulfate, copper sulfate, and stannous sulfate. The magnesium-based metal may be either magnesium or a magnesium alloy.
本発明によれば、安価で安全な化学研磨液を用いた化学研磨によって、マグネシウム系金属の表面を陽極酸化処理に適した表面とすることができ、その表面上に重金属を含まない環境に優しい電解液を用いた最適の陽極酸化処理を行うことにより、マグネシウム合金の金属質感を実現する透明な陽極酸化膜を表面に有する高級化したマグネシウム系金属製品を製造することができる。 According to the present invention, the surface of the magnesium-based metal can be made suitable for anodizing by chemical polishing using an inexpensive and safe chemical polishing liquid, and the environment-friendly environment does not contain heavy metals on the surface. By performing the optimum anodic oxidation treatment using the electrolytic solution, it is possible to produce a high-grade magnesium-based metal product having a transparent anodic oxide film on the surface that realizes the metallic texture of the magnesium alloy.

The magnesium-based metal that has undergone the gloss polishing step 21 and the degreasing or surface adjustment step 22 is immersed in a strong alkaline electrolyte for anodization, and then an anodization step 23 is performed in the electrolyte. A post-treatment step including a water washing step 24 is performed on the magnesium-based metal product on which the transparent anodic oxide film is formed by the anodic oxidation treatment.
以下、上記したステップのうち、光沢研磨ステップ21と陽極酸化処理ステップ23についてさらに具体的に説明する。 Hereinafter, among the steps described above, the gloss polishing step 21 and the anodizing step 23 will be described more specifically.
(光沢研磨ステップ)
硫酸100g/L、硝酸15g/L、硝酸ナトリウム130g/L、クエン酸ナトリウム150g/Lを含む化学研磨液が調整される。室温で調整された化学研磨液にマグネシウム合金を約5秒〜30秒間浸漬し、マグネシウム合金の表面を化学研磨する。化学研磨液の組成比は、上述したものに限られず、化学研磨液の成分範囲が硫酸50〜500重量部、硝酸10〜100重量部、硝酸ナトリウム100〜300重量部、クエン酸ナトリウム100〜300重量部であるとき、良質の研磨が行われることが判った。
(Glossy polishing step)
A chemical polishing liquid containing 100 g / L sulfuric acid, 15 g / L nitric acid, 130 g / L sodium nitrate, and 150 g / L sodium citrate is prepared. The magnesium alloy is immersed in a chemical polishing liquid adjusted at room temperature for about 5 seconds to 30 seconds, and the surface of the magnesium alloy is chemically polished. The composition ratio of the chemical polishing liquid is not limited to that described above, and the component range of the chemical polishing liquid is 50 to 500 parts by weight of sulfuric acid, 10 to 100 parts by weight of nitric acid, 100 to 300 parts by weight of sodium nitrate, and 100 to 300 of sodium citrate. It was found that good quality polishing was performed when the amount was in parts by weight.
化学研磨後、光学顕微鏡で観察すると、マグネシウム合金の金属質感を確認することができ、また、表面に孔が多く発生したことを確認することができる。この孔は、化学研磨の後に続く陽極酸化処理ステップにより形成される透明陽極酸化膜との付着力を高めるのに寄与する。 When observed with an optical microscope after chemical polishing, the metal texture of the magnesium alloy can be confirmed, and it can be confirmed that many holes are generated on the surface. This hole contributes to increasing the adhesion to the transparent anodic oxide film formed by the anodizing step subsequent to chemical polishing.
光沢研磨ステップの前に、アルカリ脱脂ステップを行ってもよい。アルカリ脱脂ステップでは、蒸留水に水酸化ナトリウムと炭酸ナトリウムを7:1の比率で投入することで得られた温度が80℃の脱脂液内に、光沢研磨ステップ前のマグネシウム合金を約5分間浸漬する。 An alkaline degreasing step may be performed before the gloss polishing step. In the alkaline degreasing step, the magnesium alloy before the polishing step is immersed for about 5 minutes in a degreasing solution at a temperature of 80 ° C. obtained by adding sodium hydroxide and sodium carbonate in distilled water at a ratio of 7: 1. To do.
前記光沢研磨ステップの後に、表面調整ステップを行ってもよい。表面調整ステップでは、クロム酸100g/L、硝酸鉄20g/L及びフッ酸1g/Lを含む表面調整液内に、光沢研磨ステップ後のマグネシウム合金を約15秒間浸漬する。この際、表面調整ステップにおいて攪拌を伴うことがよい。 A surface adjustment step may be performed after the gloss polishing step. In the surface conditioning step, the magnesium alloy after the gloss polishing step is immersed for about 15 seconds in a surface conditioning solution containing 100 g / L of chromic acid, 20 g / L of iron nitrate and 1 g / L of hydrofluoric acid. At this time, the surface adjustment step may be accompanied by stirring.
(陽極酸化処理ステップ)
陽極酸化処理ステップは強塩基性電解液内で行われるが、皮膜の特性に影響を及ぼす処理条件としては、電解液の組成、電流密度、温度、作業時間等があり、この中でも、最も重要なものは、電解液の組成及び電流密度である。本実施例において用いられる強塩基性電解液は、pH11以上の強塩基性とするために、全体の水溶液1L当たり、水酸化カリウム50〜300gが必ず含まれる。水酸化カリウムは、重金属ではないので、環境に優しい。より具体的には、前記電解液としては、全体の水溶液1L当たり、水酸化カリウム100〜300gと、KF0.5〜50g/Lと、Na 4 SiO45〜50g/Lと、Al0.1〜0.5g/Lとを含むものが用いられる。
(Anodizing step)
The anodizing step is performed in a strongly basic electrolyte, but the processing conditions that affect the properties of the coating include the composition of the electrolyte, current density, temperature, working time, etc. What is the composition and current density of the electrolyte. In order to make the strongly basic electrolyte used in the present example strongly basic having a pH of 11 or more, 50 to 300 g of potassium hydroxide is necessarily contained per 1 L of the entire aqueous solution. Since potassium hydroxide is not a heavy metal, it is environmentally friendly. More specifically, the electrolyte solution includes 100 to 300 g of potassium hydroxide, 0.5 to 50 g / L of KF, 5 to 50 g / L of Na 4 SiO 4 , and 0.1 to 0.1 of Al per 1 L of the entire aqueous solution. Those containing 0.5 g / L are used.
このように調整したpH11以上の強塩基性電解液にマグネシウムまたはマグネシウム合金を浸漬させると、10V以下の電圧にて良質の酸化皮膜が形成される。 When magnesium or a magnesium alloy is immersed in a strongly basic electrolyte having a pH of 11 or more adjusted as described above, a good quality oxide film is formed at a voltage of 10 V or less.
一方、電解液中に着色剤(染料)を加えると、多様な質感効果をもたらす(図2(b)参照)。添加される染料は、所望の色相により異なり、本発明では、酢酸コバルト、過マンガン酸カリウム、硫化アンモニウム、硫酸第二鉄、フェロシアン化カリウム、硫酸ニッケル、硫酸銅、硫酸第一スズ等のうちの一つ以上の染料を加えると、赤、オレンジ、黄、青緑、青、黒等の様々な色の酸化皮膜層が形成される。 On the other hand, when a colorant (dye) is added to the electrolytic solution, various texture effects are brought about (see FIG. 2B). The dye to be added varies depending on the desired hue, and in the present invention, one of cobalt acetate, potassium permanganate, ammonium sulfide, ferric sulfate, potassium ferrocyanide, nickel sulfate, copper sulfate, stannous sulfate and the like is used. When one or more dyes are added, oxide layers of various colors such as red, orange, yellow, blue-green, blue, and black are formed.
また、金属質感を実現するためにこのような陽極酸化処理ステップを行うと、別途の塗装処理を行う場合に生じる作業環境の問題点も避けることができる。 In addition, when such an anodizing step is performed in order to realize a metal texture, problems in the working environment that occur when a separate coating process is performed can also be avoided.
図3に示すように、電解槽1内に貯留された電解液2に、マグネシウムまたはマグネシウム合金3及び陰極基板4を浸漬させた状態で、マグネシウム合金3に整流電源5の陽極を連結し、陰極基板4に整流電源5の陰極を連結して電圧を印加することにより、透明な陽極酸化皮膜が形成されるようにする。このとき、用いられた電流密度は、0.01〜1A/dm2であり、より好ましくは0.2〜0.7A/dm2に調整され、電圧は10V以下に制限した。これにより、マグネシウムまたはマグネシウム合金3の表面に均一かつ緻密な膜が形成された。電解液の温度は、20℃〜70℃に維持する。 As shown in FIG. 3, an anode of a rectifying power source 5 is connected to the magnesium alloy 3 in a state where the magnesium or magnesium alloy 3 and the cathode substrate 4 are immersed in the electrolytic solution 2 stored in the electrolytic cell 1. A transparent anodic oxide film is formed by connecting a cathode of the rectifying power source 5 to the substrate 4 and applying a voltage. At this time, the current density used was 0.01 to 1 A / dm 2 , more preferably 0.2 to 0.7 A / dm 2 , and the voltage was limited to 10 V or less. As a result, a uniform and dense film was formed on the surface of magnesium or magnesium alloy 3. The temperature of the electrolytic solution is maintained at 20 ° C to 70 ° C.
本実施例における表面調整は、マグネシウム系金属の表面を調整する必要に応じて行い、これは、研磨ステップ後の表面調整の目的で行われるが、表面処理に対する要求性能及びこの表面の汚染程度により適切に分けて用いる。 The surface adjustment in this example is performed as necessary to adjust the surface of the magnesium-based metal, and this is performed for the purpose of surface adjustment after the polishing step. However, depending on the required performance for the surface treatment and the degree of contamination of this surface. Appropriately divided and used.
図4は、本発明の実施例によって、陽極酸化処理により陽極酸化膜が形成されたマグネシウム合金表面の微細組織を示す写真であり、図5は、表面処理前のマグネシウム合金(元素材)表面の微細組織を示す写真である。 FIG. 4 is a photograph showing a microstructure of a magnesium alloy surface on which an anodized film is formed by an anodizing treatment according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 5 is a view of the surface of the magnesium alloy (original material) before the surface treatment. It is a photograph which shows a fine structure.
図4と図5を比較してみると、図4に示した表面は、陽極酸化膜が形成されたにもかかわらず、陽極酸化膜が形成されていない図5に示したマグネシウム合金表面とほぼ類似した質感を示す。但し、線と線間の幅が狭まるが、これは、透明な陽極酸化膜の形成による光屈折に起因する。 Comparing FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, the surface shown in FIG. 4 is almost the same as the magnesium alloy surface shown in FIG. 5 where the anodized film is not formed even though the anodized film is formed. Shows similar texture. However, the line-to-line width is narrowed due to light refraction due to the formation of a transparent anodic oxide film.
