Abstract

PURPOSE:To safely produce colored Cu products having various blackish color tones by immersing Cu parts in an aq. soln. of a thio acid of a metal and changing treatment conditions. CONSTITUTION:When blackish coating films are formed on the surfaces of ornamental parts, electrical parts and machine parts made of Cu, the parts are immersed in an aq. soln. of ammonium thiomolybdate, ammonium thiotungstate, ammonium thiostannate or other thio-acid of a metal having 0.5-3.0wt.% concn. to form CuS coating films on the surfaces of the Cu parts. The thickness of the CuS coating films depends on the temp. of the aq. soln. and immersion time and Cu products with formed colored films having various blackish color tones and fancy fine appearance are obtd. The blackish color tones range from purplish red to pure black.

<Prior Art><Problems to be Solved by the Invention> As a conventional method for coloring the surface of copper, blackening treatment is known in which copper oxide is produced by high-temperature oxidation using a strong alkaline oxidizing agent.

Specifically, this method involves heating an alkaline aqueous solution containing a few percent of sodium chlorite and sodium hydroxide to 90°C or higher, and immersing the copper in this solution for one to several minutes. If the treatment solution remains on a copper product, the bath components will crystallize on the product, impairing the appearance of the blackened product, and when it comes into contact with other objects, the remaining components will cause corrosion and discoloration.

In addition, during blackening treatment, it is difficult for a uniform oxidation reaction to occur unless the copper product is heated to 90°C or higher, and if the copper product to be blackened is large, it is necessary to preheat the product itself or use larger bath heating equipment. or various other problems may occur.

Furthermore, it is quite difficult to neutralize the treated liquid during wastewater treatment, and the oxide film produced by this method is at most several μm thick.
Although the thick cupric oxide (Cub) has good adhesion to the base material, it exhibits some insulating properties and cannot be used in applications requiring good conductivity.

Furthermore, due to such treatment, the hue of the copper surface is reddish-brown to black, and colors such as red, purple, and bluish-purple cannot be produced.

The mechanism of copper coloring is the formation of copper sulfide through a secondary reaction between the metal thioate salt, which is a bath component, and copper, ammonium tetrathiomolybdate (NH4)! MO3
To explain using Example 4 as an example, colored copper sulfide is produced according to the following reaction formula.

2) The reactions of (1) and (2) above produce a very dense copper sulfide film (No. 11 above). At this time, the thickness of the copper sulfide film changes depending on the bath temperature and treatment time (reaction time). , a film thickness of several microns can be formed in a relatively short time.
This results in an image with a slightly changed hue. The concentration of the metal thioic acid aqueous solution is preferably 0.01% by weight or more since coloring treatment is easy, but the more preferred concentration is 0.5 to 3.0% by weight.

The reason for specifying 0.5 to 3.0% by weight is that if it is less than 0.5% by weight, the reaction will take too long and the production efficiency will be poor (also 3.0% by weight).
If the content exceeds 0% by weight, the bath becomes expensive but the efficiency does not increase, which is uneconomical. In addition, the bath temperature may be room temperature, but in order to promote the reaction, it may be heated within a range where the decomposition of the thioate salt does not progress too much, and the preferred temperature is 6
It is within 0℃. In addition, the pretreatment of copper products for copper coloring can be done by ordinary degreasing and activation methods, but especially when the copper is a wire rod, the thioates of these metals have lubricating properties. Therefore, a new surface of copper can be created by lightly plastically deforming the copper wire with a die, etc., and the above-mentioned reactions (1) and (2) are generated in this surface and a thioacid bath to form CuS (copper sulfide). can be done.
