<Industrial Field of Application> The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing colored stainless steel material with excellent wear resistance. <Conventional technology and its problems> As a chemical coloring method for stainless steel sheets, a so-called so-called method using a mixed solution (sulfuric acid + chromic acid) has traditionally been used.
The INCO method is often used. Since the main use of chemically colored stainless steel sheets is for building materials, wear resistance is required in addition to corrosion resistance, which is a basic property of stainless steel. In this regard, INCO has disclosed a method in which the colored oxide film formed on the surface of stainless steel is electrolyzed cathodically in an electrolyte consisting of sulfuric acid and chromic acid to precipitate chromium in the film to improve corrosion resistance and wear resistance. (See Special Publication No. 53-31817). This INCO method consists of two steps: a "coloring" step and a "hardening" step, each of which has an independent solution composition and
The process is carried out under certain temperature and processing conditions,
It is mainly used in the production of veneer colored stainless steel sheets using the batch method. In order to provide chemically colored stainless steel sheets at low cost, it is necessary to simplify the process and create a continuous line that does not rely on veneer processing. That is, the two steps of "coloring" and "hardening" cannot be made into a continuous line unless washing with water and drying are performed in between. In addition, the “dura mater”
Since the color tone during coloring changes during the coloring process, in order to obtain the final fixed color tone in the preceding "coloring" step, it is necessary to carry out a process that takes into account this color tone change in advance, which is a complicated operation. Furthermore, even in the case of veneer processing, two liquids are required: a "coloring solution" and a "hardening solution." From this, if "coloring" and "hardening" can be performed in one step with one liquid, the process can be simplified and it becomes possible to manufacture colored stainless steel sheets on a continuous line industrially. <Object of the Invention> The present invention has been made to solve the problems of the prior art described above, and its purpose is to significantly improve the wear resistance of colored stainless steel materials, and to improve the wear resistance of colored stainless steel materials. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for producing colored stainless steel material, which can produce stainless steel material in one step using one liquid. <Structure of the Invention> That is, the present invention provides a solution in which a mixed solution containing 2 moles or more of hexavalent chromium and 2.5 moles or more of sulfuric acid,
Anode current density 0.01~3.0A/dm 2 , cathode current density
The present invention provides a method for producing a colored stainless steel material, which is characterized by carrying out alternating current electrolysis at 0.03 to 5.0 A/dm 2 and a repetition rate of 100 Hz or less. The method for producing a colored stainless steel material of the present invention will be explained in detail below. Stainless steel materials here include wire rods, pipe materials,
Although any shape may be used, such as a plate, a lump, a modified cross-section material, or a powder, the following description will be made with reference to a steel plate as a representative example. The oxide film formed by the chemical coloring method is mainly composed of Cr 2 O 3 and can be obtained electrochemically by performing anodic electrolysis. Also, in hardening treatment, the porous Cr 2 O 3 coating is strengthened by applying cathode electrolysis, which is the opposite of coloring. The present invention relates to "coloring"; anodic electrolysis;
“Dura mater”: Based on the basic understanding of cathodic electrolysis,
As a result of extensive research, we have succeeded in producing colored stainless steel sheets with excellent wear resistance in a single liquid and one step process by optimally combining the amount of electricity at the anode and cathode using a method in which electrolysis is carried out by alternating the current direction. We discovered that it can be manufactured. The solution used here has a high sulfuric acid concentration and has conventionally been used only for coloring, and was not known to be capable of hardening. It is a completely new discovery that even with such a coloring solution, film hardening is possible by the above-mentioned method. The method of manufacturing a colored stainless steel sheet by alternating current electrolysis according to the present invention involves applying an alternating current as illustrated in FIG. It is characterized by performing alternating electrolysis in a solution of [hexavalent chromium (2 moles or more) + H 2 SO 4 (2.5 moles or more)] by suitably combining the current density and electrolysis time of anode and cathode electrolysis for a predetermined number of times. It is. The electrolytic conditions for obtaining a colored film having good abrasion resistance and the reasons thereof are described below. (1) Anodic electrolysis current density: 0.01-3.0A/dm 2 , (2) Cathode electrolysis current density: 0.03-5.0A/dm 2 , (3) Electrolysis repetition rate: 100Hz or less Anodic electrolysis current density 0.01A/dm If it is less than 2 , it will not be colored at all. Further, since a uniform film having interference color cannot be obtained at a current density exceeding 3.0 A/dm 2 , the anodic electrolytic current density is set in a range of 0.01 to 3.0 A/dm 2 . When the cathode electrolytic current density is less than 0.03 A/dm 2 , the film easily peels off in the wear resistance test described below. Also,
At 5.0 A/dm 2 or more, the surface of the steel sheet becomes metallic luster over the entire surface and cannot be called a colored steel sheet, so the cathode electrolytic current density is set in the range of 0.03 to 5.0 A/dm 2 . If the electrolytic repetition rate exceeds 100Hz, coloring will not occur, so a frequency of 100Hz or less is suitable. As a color tone adjustment method,
Any interference color can be obtained by selecting the number of electrolysis cycles, anode current density, and electrolysis time under certain specific conditions that satisfy the conditions (1) to (3) above. Under the electrolysis conditions described above, alternating current electrolysis was carried out in a mixed solution containing 2 moles or more of hexavalent chromium added in the form of chromic anhydride, sodium dichromate, potassium dichromate, etc. and 2.5 moles or more of sulfuric acid. By carrying out this process, a colored stainless steel sheet having good wear resistance can be easily obtained. According to this method, what conventionally required two steps of "coloring" and "during" can now be completed in just one step, and can be applied not only to veneers but also to continuous coloring. As described above, the present invention is a method for industrially providing chemically colored stainless steel sheets, which were conventionally expensive, at low cost, and makes a significant contribution to the increasing demand for colored stainless steel in the field of building materials. . <Example> The method for manufacturing a colored stainless steel sheet by alternating current electrolysis according to the present invention will be specifically explained with examples. SUS 304 BA (bright annealing treatment) plate (size 100
x 100mm), (sulfuric acid 500g/+ anhydrous cross acid
250g/) solution, and alternating electrolysis was performed under various conditions for a total of 20 minutes. Thereafter, an abrasion resistance test was carried out by rubbing the surface of the colored film with chromium oxide abrasive paper using an abrasion resistance tester under the condition of a load of 500 g. Abrasion resistance was evaluated based on the number of times of abrasion with chromium oxide abrasive paper until the colored film was completely removed, and it was determined that the greater the number of abrasions, the better the abrasion resistance. For comparison, two conventional methods were used: (1) coloring by natural immersion followed by hardening and (2) coloring by direct current electrolysis followed by hardening. At this time, the coloring solution is
(490g of sulfuric acid/+250g of chromic anhydride/) solution, hardening treatment with (250g of chromic anhydride/+250g of sulfuric acid
2.5g/) solution, these are
31817). Table 1 shows detailed electrolytic conditions and abrasion test results together with the method of the present invention, a comparative method for comparison, and a conventional method. The number of wears using the conventional method and comparative method is at most 300.
In contrast, in the case of the alternating current electrolysis method according to the present invention, the number of wears was approximately 2.5 times, 650 to 720 times. From these data,
It is clear that the wear resistance of the colored stainless steel sheets produced by the alternating current electrolysis method according to the invention is significantly superior to that produced by the conventional and comparative methods. Table 2 shows detailed examples of the relationship between electrolysis repetition conditions and color tone. This means that under the same conditions as in Table 1, the cathode electrolysis current density is a constant 0.10A/ dm2 , the anodic electrolysis current density is 0.03, 0.10, 0.50, and 2.0A/ dm2 , or the electrolysis repetition rate is 100Hz or less. This is a summary of the data obtained. As is clear from the data in this table, a film having any interference color can be obtained by simply selecting the number of electrolysis cycles under certain electrolysis conditions. That is,
This is a new color tone adjustment method that is completely different from conventional methods.
