DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a method for simply measuring the presence or absence of passivation on a metal surface and its degree, and is particularly effective when applied to stainless steel.

ある。
Conventionally, some metal materials, particularly stainless steel, have been subjected to surface treatments that consider passivation during the manufacturing process in order to improve their surface corrosion resistance, but their secondary processing requires cutting, polishing, etc. It is a well-known fact that by mechanical grinding or chemical treatment such as pickling, degreasing, and washing, the passivated surface becomes activated and becomes susceptible to corrosion and rust.

However, on the other hand, stainless steel has the property of naturally becoming passivated to a certain extent if it is left in clean air for a long period of time, but this degree is not sufficient and it requires a long period of time. Therefore, in order to safely maintain stainless steel products during transport from the processing factory to the site of use, or between installation at the factory and operation, appropriate passivation is required depending on the purpose and period. processing was required.

For this reason, the passivation treatment method is to add dichromate to nitric acid, dichromate to caustic soda, or permanganate to caustic soda and heat it to room temperature or about 80℃. Generally recommended is a method of soaking for 30 minutes to 2 hours.

However, as a means of determining the degree of activation or passivation as described above, conventionally, in a sulfuric acid solution of 1 normal concentration, the sample to be measured is placed at one pole, and the sample to be measured is placed at one pole. A method was proposed to determine the spontaneous potential by placing a potentiometer between the two electrodes while immersing them in a single container, and this method has been adopted as the only laboratory method. However, since the test piece is usually limited to a beaker and a test piece of a corresponding size, this is especially true when the test piece is a product, or in particular when the test piece cannot be immersed in the passivation treatment solution as mentioned above. It is impossible to directly measure the passivation effect of an object, that is, the quality and finish of the passivation film formed on the surface of the object. In addition, it requires specific equipment and special techniques, such as a glaucoma electrode that is easily damaged and inconvenient to handle, making it impractical in the field.

The present invention was devised in order to improve the drawbacks of the known methods as described above, and involves directly using a specimen made of stainless steel as one pole, and activating another pole made of the same material as the specimen. The sample is brought into contact with the surface of the sample through a water-absorbing sheet-like material such as paper impregnated with an electrolyte capable of dissolving the sample, and a potentiometer is placed between the two electrodes. The method is characterized in that the passivation effect of the metal is measured from the relationship between the spontaneously generated potential and the degree of passivation determined in advance by measuring the spontaneously generated potential during that time. According to this method, it is possible to non-destructively measure a specimen of any shape using an extremely simple device and operation, and moreover, it is extremely easy to measure on-site.

Now, to explain one preferred embodiment of the present invention based on the drawings, 1 is completely passivated.
Object made of SUS 304 stainless steel, 2 is an electrode made of SUS 304 selected as the same material as the object, 3
is a sheet of paper impregnated with a sulfuric acid solution of a certain concentration; 4 is a potentiometer; 5 is a conductor wire with one end connected to electrode 2 and the other end connected to potentiometer 4; This is a conductive wire that is connected to an arbitrary location on the subject 1 and whose other end is connected to the potentiometer 4.

Now, in such an apparatus, a relatively flat surface of the SUS304 stainless steel specimen 1 is selected, a paper 3 impregnated with a sulfuric acid solution of 1 normal concentration as an electrolyte is placed on top of it, and then
The surface of the SUS304 electrode 2 is polished using emery paper to sufficiently activate it, and then stacked to form an electrical circuit. Immediately, the indicated value of the potentiometer 4 was measured over time, and compared with standard specimens prepared in advance with various materials and the degree of activation and passivation of the surface treated under the same conditions. The passivation effect may be determined by comparing the value of the initial potential and the duration of the potential.

In this case, the reaction occurs through paper impregnated with sulfuric acid at a predetermined concentration, and on both the front and back sides of the paper, the specimen and the electrode form a so-called primary battery using the sulfuric acid solution as the electrolyte. Of course, the stronger the passivation film is, the more corrosion resistant it is, and if one electrode is also completely passivated, it will show corrosion resistance as well. No electromotive force is generated between corrosion-resistant coatings. However, as mentioned above, the electrode surface has been completely activated in advance, and one of the test objects has been completely passivated, so the initial potential between the two electrodes is 600 mV.
As time passes, the passive film of the specimen 1 is eroded and dissolved by the sulfuric acid, so as it completely dissolves and disappears, the potential also decreases, and after about 3 minutes, the Eventually, it dropped to near zero.

In this way, the present application makes measurement possible by selecting the same material as the test object for the other electrode and setting it in an activated state.The high initial potential means that the material is dense and relatively thick. This indicates that a chemical film has been formed, and the persistence of the potential indicates that the formed film has high strength and corrosion resistance.

In general, the passive region of stainless steel is considered to be about +200 mV to +1000 mV in terms of the natural electrode potential of the Gampa electrode, and it was confirmed that the measured values in the examples of the present invention were in good agreement with this.

By the way, in the above embodiment, the electrolytic liquid 1
Although a specified sulfuric acid solution was used, it is not necessarily limited to this; if the concentration is higher than this, the initial potential will be shortened due to the rapid dissolution time of the passive film; Since the duration is long, it is only necessary to set the concentration to an appropriate predetermined value and then compare it with the standard specimen.Also, depending on the type of electrolyte, it is possible to use a corrosive reducing agent such as hydrochloric acid in addition to sulfuric acid, depending on the type of metal being tested. Any suitable acid can be used.

On the other hand, if the material of the electrode is different from that of the specimen, a so-called primary battery will be formed for each material combination regardless of passivation, so a potential will be generated for each combination. It will be done.

However, in this application, since we always use an electrode made of the same material as the test object, we do not show the potential caused by the formation of a primary battery that occurs between different materials, and measurements are always made in an activated state. Since this is an essential condition, if the specimen is passivated as mentioned above, a spontaneous potential of about 500 to 600 mV can be obtained depending on the material, but in the unlikely event that the specimen surface is also activated. At some times, no potential is generated at all.

In other words, when the subject is in an activated state, no spontaneously generated potential is observed; on the other hand, when the subject is in a passivated state, the potential is large depending on the degree, and the potential changes over time depending on the thickness of the passivated film. It is characterized by the fact that the potential attenuates and eventually approaches zero, making it easy to measure the extent of this.

In addition, as a means of activating the electrode during measurement, in addition to polishing with emery paper as in the above-mentioned example, short-term immersion in a reducing acid solution such as dilute sulfuric acid or hydrochloric acid can be used. Similar effects can also be obtained by doing so.

Therefore, in carrying out the measurement method of the present invention, it is not only easy to carry out without requiring any specialized knowledge or skill, but also to measure parts that have already been installed, or to measure a large number of parts. This method has many advantages over known methods, such as being able to quickly respond to various on-site requirements such as measurement of objects, causing no damage to products, materials, etc., and being extremely quick and easy to implement.
