Definitions

  • This invention relates to the protection of metal articles against corrosion, and its principal object is the provision on ferrous and other metal articles of an anti-corrosion surface alloy or coating of great efficacy and durability.
  • I provide a process for protecting a metal article against corrosion comprising the electro-deposition of an'alloy con-' taining cadmium and mercury from an alkaline bath containing aluminium in solution 'in addition to the constituents of the alloy.
  • the aluminium appears to increase the throwing power of the bath to such an extent that the recesses and interior surfaces of irregularlyshaped and hollow articles are found to be quite uniformly covered without any necessity for special anode shapes or distributions to conform with the particular article to be treated, assuming of course that the article is completely immersed and that no air pockets are allowed to form in it.
  • Example I An aqueous solution is made up in a conventional way, if necessary with the aid of heat, containing per gallon of water:
  • anode may be cast from a homogeneous mixture or amalgam of zinc, cadmium and mercury.
  • Example II Ounces Sodium cyanide 12 Caustic soda 12 Cadmium sulphate 12 Bichloride of mercury A; to 2 Aluminium potassium sulphate' 2 7 Cobalt sulphate M; to 2 Dextrine 2
  • Example III Sodium cyanide 12 Caustic soda 12 Cadmium sulphate 12 Bichloride of mercury e to 2 Aluminium potassium sulphate 2 1 Nickel sulphate FA; to 2 Dextrine 2
  • the constituents specified in Examples 1 and II are in each case, added to one gallon of water.
  • the anode in this case may comprise zinc, cadmium and mercury in the ratio,8:4:1 or- 8:221, the nickel or cobalt being added as a me tallic salt to the solution when required.
  • the anode may. comprise cadmium and mercury in the ratio 9:1.
  • de-scaling (if necessary) is suspended-in the bath by means of wires or carriers of aluminium.
  • the aluminium carrying means maintains the aluminium metal content of the solution during the anodic period and also gives greater conductivity to the circuit leading to the article suspendedj.
  • the aluminium carrying memby Letters mium and mercury in which the cadmium zinc ratio is approximately 1 to 1 from an aqueous alkaline cyanide bath containing at least about 12 ounces of caustic soda per gallon of water and against corrosion comprising electrically depositing thereon a ternary preponderatingly cadmium alloy of zinc, cadmium and mercury from an aqueous alkaline cyanide bath containing at least about 12 ounces of caustic soda per gallon of water and containing-aluminum sulphate in solution in addition to the metal ions of the alloy being deposited, and employing an alloy anode containing zinc, cadmium and mercury, the zincmercury ratio of the anode being substantially 8 to 1 and the zinc-cadmium ratio thereof being substantially 2 to 1.
  • a process for protecting a metal article against corrosion comprising electrically depositing thereon a ternary alloy containing zinc, cadmium and mercury in which the cadmium-zinc ratio is approximately 1 to 1 from an aqueous alkaline cyanide bath containing at least about 12 ounces of caustic soda per gallon of water and containing aluminum sulphate in solution in addition to the metal ions of the alloy being deposited, and employing an alloy anode containing zinc, cadmium and mercury, the zinc-mercury ratio being about 8 to 1 and the zinc-cadmium ratio thereof being from 2 to 1 to a ratio of 4 to 1.
  • a process for protecting a metal article against corrosion comprising electrically depositing thereon a ternary preponderatingly cadmium alloy of zinc, cadmium and mercury from an aqueous alkaline cyanide bath containing at least about 12 ounces of caustic soda per gallon of water and containing aluminum sulphate in solution in addition to the metal ions of the alloy, and employing an alloy anode containing zinc, cadmium and mercury, the zinc-mercury ratio of the anode being substantially 8 to 1 and the zinccadmium ratio thereof being from 2 to 1 to a ratio of 4 to 1.
  • a process for protecting a metal article against corrosion comprising electrically depositing thereon a ternary alloy containing zinc, cadmium and mercury in which the cadmium-zinc ratio is approximately 1 to 1 from an aqueous alkaline cyanidebath containing at least about 12 ounces of caustic soda per gallon of water and containing aluminum sulphate in solution in addition to. the metal ions of the alloy being deposited, and employing an alloy anode containing zinc, cadmium and mercury, the zinc-mercury ratio of the anode being about 8 to 1 and the zinccadmium ratio thereof being about 2 to l, the total combined content of the zinc and cadmium in the bath in proportion to the mercury content being substantially in the ratio of 2.5 to 1.
  • a process for protecting a metal article against corrosion comprising electrically depositing thereon a ternary preponderatingly cadmium alloy of zinc, cadmium and mercury from an aqueous alkaline cyanide bath containing at least about 12 ounces of caustic soda per gallon of water containing aluminum sulphate in solution in addition to the metal ions of the alloy being deposited, and employing an alloy anode containing zinc, cadmium and mercury, the zincmercury ratio of the anode being substantially 8 to 1 and the zinc-cadmium ratio thereof being substantially 2 to 1, the total combined content of the zinc and cadmium in the bath in proportion to the mercury content being substantially in the ratio of 2.5 to 1.
