The present invention relates to materials for fuel containers, particularly gasoline, gasoline containing alcohol (so-called gasohol),
The present invention relates to a steel material (steel plate) that exhibits excellent corrosion resistance and formability and is suitable as a material for containers containing fuel such as alcohol fuel. For example, automotive fuel containers (gasoline tanks)
Conventionally, a so-called turn-plated steel sheet coated with a Pb- Sn alloy containing 3 to 20% tin to lead has been used. This is because it has extremely good corrosion resistance against gasoline-based fuels (which often contain moisture, S compounds, etc. as unavoidable impurities), and in particular, there are few corrosion products caused by these corrosions. This is based on its excellent properties such as good workability for severe forming and drawing processes such as gasoline tanks, and good joinability for container assembly operations by welding, and its economic efficiency. However, with the recent worsening of the oil situation (rising oil costs and reduced production), methyl alcohol,
The use of fuel mixed with alcohol such as ethyl alcohol or methyl tertiary butyl ether (MTBE) (so-called gasohol) or alcohol as an alternative fuel has been proposed and is being put into practice. These alcohol-added gasoline (gasohol) or alcohol fuels are contaminated by water contained in the alcohol, alcohol oxides such as formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, and in some cases impurities such as formic acid and succinic acid. It tends to greatly increase its corrosivity. The present invention addresses these circumstances and provides corrosion resistance that is sufficiently satisfactory as a material for containers for fuels such as alcohol-containing gasoline or alcohol fuels that are exposed to harsher corrosive environments. The objective is to provide a steel material that exhibits excellent performance in terms of necessary formability, weldability, etc. Therefore, the steel material for fuel containers of the present invention to achieve the above object has the following features: (1) A Ni coating layer or a Ni coating layer with a thickness of 0.3 to 6 μm is provided on the surface of the steel material.
It is characterized by having a Co alloy coating layer. (2) Ni coating layer or Ni− with a thickness of 0.3 to 6μ on the steel surface
It is characterized by having a Co alloy coating layer and further having a chromate treatment coating layer on the surface of the coating layer. The details of the present invention will be explained below. Ni metal or Ni-Co alloy mainly composed of Ni has (1) good corrosion resistance against gasoline, moisture mixed in gasoline tanks, etc. (2) Good corrosion resistance against methyl alcohol and ethyl alcohol used in gasohol or alcohol fuel. (3) products produced by oxidation of alcohol;
That is, Γ methyl alcohol oxidation――→ formaldehyde oxidation―
―→ Formic acid Γethyl alcohol oxidation――→ Acetaldehyde oxidation―
-→ Good corrosion resistance against formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, formic acid, and succinic acid, which are generated during the oxidation process of succinic acid. (4) Extremely good workability. (5) Good weldability and solderability due to electrical resistance. Ni metal and Ni-Co alloy have such characteristics that they are suitable for use as a fuel container, but are expensive and uneconomical. (Although Co metal also has the same excellent properties as above, it is more expensive and uneconomical.) Therefore, in the present invention, Ni coated steel or Ni-Co alloy coated steel is used as an economical material. This Ni and Ni-Co alloy coated steel material has the following characteristics: (1) No matter how good the coating treatment is, the generation of pinholes cannot be avoided, and it is important to reduce the amount of pinholes generated. For this purpose, the coating needs to have a thickness of 0.3μ or more, preferably 0.45μ or more. (2) If the coating thickness is greater than the above thickness, the number of pinholes will be significantly reduced, and chemical treatment, especially chromate coating, will be extremely effective in sealing the pinholes. be. In that case, the amount of chromate coating is 3 mg/m 2 or more, preferably 10 mg/m 2 or more in terms of chromium.
m2 or more is required. In producing the Ni or Ni-Co alloy coated steel material of the present invention, the coating method is not particularly specified, but
For example, in the electroplating method, a Watts bath or a sulfamic acid bath in which Ni ++ ions or Ni ++ and Co ++ ions coexist is used, and the current density is 5.
It can be carried out arbitrarily under conditions such as ~150A/ dm2 . Therefore, the thickness of the Ni coating layer or Ni-Co alloy coating layer needs to be 0.3 to 6 microns, preferably 0.45 to 3 microns. If the thickness of these coating layers is less than 0.3 μm, a large amount of pinholes will be formed and good corrosion resistance will not be obtained. The thickness of Ni or Ni-Co alloy coating layer is
If it exceeds 6μ, its effect on corrosion resistance will be saturated and the cost will be high, making it uneconomical. Furthermore, during the drawing process, wavy wrinkles occur on the surface due to roughness, which is not preferable. Further, it is more preferable to perform a chromate coating treatment on the surface of the Ni coating layer or the Ni-Co alloy coating layer. That is, it is preferable to perform chromate treatment because it is more effective in improving the pinhole prevention effect than just the Ni plating layer and in improving the coating performance considering the case where the outer surface of the fuel tank is coated. Chromate treatment baths include chromic acid, chromate, dichromic acid, and these with So 4 -- 9 F - ,
A chromic acid-based aqueous solution containing silica sol, etc., which acts as an anion in an aqueous solution of Cl , Po 4 --- , chromic acid, or chromic acid salts is used. For example, CrO 3 bath, CrO 3 −H 2 SO 4 bath,
CrO 3 −SiO 2 (silica sol) bath, Na 2 Cr 2 O 7 bath,
Processing baths such as CrO 3 −H 3 PO 4 bath, (NH 4 ) 2 CrO 4 −NH 4 F bath, etc. are used. In these treatment baths, Cr +3 is generated by reducing Cr +6 during treatment.
It does not depart from the scope of the present invention even if the chromate treatment is carried out using a treatment bath containing . The concentration of the chromate treatment bath is not particularly limited, but is used in a range of 5 g/~500 g/, preferably 10 g/~100 g/. The treatment method is a dipping treatment method, that is, dipping, spraying, and roll coating, and is carried out at room temperature to 90°C. Electrolytic treatment, i.e. cathodic treatment, anodic treatment, a combination of these, at room temperature to 90℃, current density 1
It is carried out at ~100 A/ dm2 , preferably 10-30 A/ dm2 . After the immersion treatment or the electrolytic treatment, the material is either dried (50 to 300°C) immediately after the treatment, or washed with water and dried (50 to 300°C) after the treatment. In the case of electrolytic treatment (cathodic electrolysis), in the case of a bath with CrO 3 containing anions, e.g. CrO 3
30A/d when the ratio of SO 4 -2 /Cr +6 is 1/50 in H 2 SO 4 system
In the case of electrolysis of 2 m 2 or the like, metallic Cr is deposited at the interface between the Ni plating layer and the chromate coating, but if the precipitation of the metallic Cr layer is 200 mg/m 2 or less per side, it is included within the scope of the present invention. If the amount of precipitated metal Cr layer exceeds 200 mg/m 2 , it is not preferable because it will damage the mold of the drawing device due to the galling phenomenon during drawing. The coated steel material of the present invention may be coated with Ni or Ni-Co alloy on both sides, or may be coated only on one side corresponding to the inner surface of the fuel container. Next, Table 1 shows examples of the present invention and performance test results.
