Abstract

PURPOSE:To effectively prevent the generation of sludge at the time of electroplating the surface of a steel sheet using a Ferrostan bath by adding a specified amt. of alpha-hydroxycarboxylic acid to the bath. CONSTITUTION:A steel sheet is plated with tin by using an acidic Ferrostan tin plating bath contg. a phenyl compd. having oxyethylene. In this case, 0.1-30g/l of alpha-hydroxycarboxylic acid is added to the bath. The stannous ion in the bath is oxidized to stannic ion by a combination with oxygen in the air, an electrode reaction or the catalytic reaction of iron ion, hence sludge is not precipitated from the bath and deposited, the defects in the clogging of the pipeline of the plating device or the deposition of sludge is eliminated, and the steel sheet is stably electroplated with tin.

[Prior Art] A ferrostane bath conventionally used as a tin plating bath generally uses phenolsulfonic acid to stabilize stannous ions, and has an anode efficiency of 100% and 90%
Maintains cathode efficiency of ~95%. However, with high-speed plating, the stannous ions in the ferrostane bath form oxides of stannous ions by combination with oxygen in the air, electrode reaction, or catalytic action of iron ions. Such oxides dissolve only sparingly in the bath and precipitate therein as sludge. These sludges cause operational problems such as a decrease in tin efficiency in electrode reactions and sludge treatment from the plating bath. For this reason, efforts have been made to increase the concentration of phenolsulfonic acid, lower the plating bath temperature, or lower the iron ion concentration in order to suppress sludge generation. There is also a method of suppressing sludge generation due to oxidation of tin ions by using a conductive substrate having an Ir oxide film on the anode (Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2-194192).
There are limits to its effectiveness.

[Operation] The present invention will be explained in detail below. The plating bath used in the present invention is a ferrostane bath containing stannous sulfate and phenolsulfonic acid as main components. An example of the bath composition is as follows. Sn2+: 30 g/l Free acid: 20 g/l (in terms of H2SO4) In addition, brighteners, stabilizers, etc. may be used as necessary. The mechanism of sludge generation in a ferrostane bath is generally considered as follows. 2Fe2++1/2O2+2H+ → 2
Fe3++H2O (1) Sn
2++2Fe3+ → Sn4++2Fe2+
(2) That is, as shown in the above formula (1), Fe2+ is oxidized by oxygen dissolved in the bath to become Fe3+. This Fe3+ is (
2) As shown in the formula, it is reduced to Fe2+ in the bath. However, on the other hand, Sn2+ is Sn4+
It is thought that tin sludge is generated by oxidation. The mechanism of suppressing sludge generation by adding the α-oxycarboxylic acid of the present invention is thought to be as follows. That is, the COOH group or OH group contained in the α-oxycarboxylic acid acts as a rightward reaction inhibitor of the above formula (2) by combining with trivalent Fe ions oxidized in the bath. In other words, it is considered that α-oxycarboxylic acid acts as a masking agent in the bath and suppresses the rightward reaction of equation (2), thereby reducing sludge generation. The method for evaluating the amount of sludge generated in the present invention is as follows. That is, the tin plating bath was left for one day after collection, the supernatant liquid was filtered, and the filtrate to which a predetermined amount of antioxidant was added was aerated at 50° C. for 5 hours. The dry weight of the tin sludge generated at that time was determined.
