Definitions
- the present invention relates to improved solutions for, and to an improved method of, coating the surfaces of zinc-coated steel and iron to provide thereon an adherent, corrosion-resistant coating suitable as a base for protective finishing materials such as paint, lacquer, varnish, enamel, etc. More specifically, the invention relates to improved phosphate coating solutions and to an improved method of coating the surfaces of zinc-coated iron and steel made by certain continuous commercial hot-dipping processes to provide smoother, more satisfactory coatings and to a method which is more satisfactory under the operating conditions prevailing in such processes.
- U. S. Patent No. 1,221,046 discloses the coating of zinc and its alloys by treatment with a solution of phosphoric acid containing a nitrate accelerator.
- the latter patent and U. S. Patent No. 2,121,574 allege that more uniform phosphate coatings are obtained when nickel or cobalt ions are added to the phosphoric acid solution.
- U. S. Patents 1,869,121 and 1,888,189 disclose that copper ion in certain concentrations is beneficial in speeding up the action of a phosphate solution on a zinc surface.
- the surfaces of certain zinc alloys containing aluminum, which are coated only with great diificulty in nickel-accelerated phosphate solutions, are said in U.
- phosphate coating solutions containing nickel ion and a small proportion of soluble silicon preferably as the silicofluoride ion are capable of producing heavy, uniform, adherent phosphate coatings substantially free of seediness on theabove-mentioned types of continuous, hot-dipped zinc coated iron and steel.
- the phosphate solutions of this invention comprise phosphate (P0 ion, an ion such as zinc and manganese in sufficient proportion to produce a dihydrogen phosphate with the (P0 ion, a small proportion of nickel ion, a small proportion of soluble silicon preferably intro pokerd as a silicon-containing ion such as the silicotluoride (SiF ion, and an oxidant such as nitrite or nitrate ions.
- the solution may contain a small proportion of coopper as an additional accelerator, if desired.
- the term continuous hot-dipped, zinc-coated ferrous surface is intended to include any iron, steel or other ferrous surface which has been provided with a zinc coating by the continuous method of U. S. Patent 2,197,622 or other hot-dipping methods which produce zinc coatings which aquire a seedy phosphate coating in known phosphate coating solutions.
- U. S. Patent No. 2,197,622 for applying a zinc coating on ferrous surface comprises the steps of oxidizing the ferrous surface to form a thin oxide film thereon having a color ranging from light yellow to purple and ranging as far as gray, then reducing the oxide film to a film of the pure metal and while the reduced film remains protected in a non-oxidizing atmosphere the surface, in a flux-free condition, is immersed in a molten zinc bath containing a minor quantity of aluminum to thereby form a zinc coating when the surface is withdrawn from the bath and allowed to cool.
- the phosphate coating solutions which are improved by the addition of the combinations of nickel and siliconcontaining ions contain as the essential coating-producing ingredients about 0.5 to 2.5% (W./vol.) P0 ion, at least sufficient zinc or manganese to form dihydrogen phosphate with the phosphate ion, and a suitable amount of an oxidizing ion such as the nitrate or nitrite ion or a mixture of nitrate and nitrite ions.
- the quantity of nitrate ion which is desirable is about 0.2 to about 1% with major benefits being obtained at about 0.3 to 0.5% N0 Where nitrite is used, substantially smaller quantitles are required to produce acceleration and about 0.0002 to 0.008% N0 may be utilized.
- soluble silicon is noticeably effective in reducing the number of seeds or raised spots.
- a bath containing less than about 0.4 to 0.5% zinc or manganese, less than about 0.5% nitrate ion, or less than about 0.005 nitrite ion it is also preferable to utilize baths of this type which have a total acidity of less than 40 points (see Example 1 for method of determining total acidity) and a ratio of PO, ion to zinc or manganese ion of not more than 5:1.
- the nickel and copper ions can be provided'by adding a salt which is soluble in the solution, for example, a carbonate, nitrate, chloride or sulfate.
- a salt which is soluble in the solution for example, a carbonate, nitrate, chloride or sulfate.
- the soluble silicon is added to the solution in the form of an acid such as hydrofiuosilicic acid or a static soluble sat such as the silicofluoride salts 'of sodium, potassium and ammonium.
- the concentration of soluble silicon required for smooth, hard, and spot-freeouseed-free:phosp-hate coatings is very small. When aslittle as 0.03% of silicon is added, as sodium silicofiuoride, the tendency to form seedy coatings is greatly reduced. However, with proportions less than 0.03% silicon, the number of spots sometimes is reduced but their size is increased. When more than 0.03% is utilized both the number and size of the spots are significantly reduced. In general, the proportion of silicon required for seed-free or substantially seed-free coatings increases as the acivity of the solution is increased, that is, as the concentration of zinc or manganese, nickel, copper, oxidant and the total and free acid content of the solution increases.
- the solutions of this invention containing the combination of nickel, copper and silicon in the ranges of concentration given above form hard, adherent, uniform and seed-free coatings on the particular types of hot-dipped, zinc-coated ferrous surfaces described above.
- the coatings produced have excellent resistance to corrosion and have excellent adherence properties for paints, lacquers, enamels, varnishes, and other protective coatings.
- the solutions of this invention can be utilized as an adjunct to the above-mentioned high speed hot dip zinc coating processes wherein sheet iron or steel in continuous strips are fed at high speeds successively through rolling mills, zinc coating stages and finally through the phosphate coating process.
- the solutions can be applied by immersion, spraying or any other suitable method. Bath temperatures required will usually vary between 130 and 180 F., with 130 to 160 F. being preferred.
- Example I A separate make-up and a separate replenisher solu ion were built up containing the following materials:
- the total acidity given above is the ml. of N/ 10 NaOH (points) determined by titrating a 10 ml. sample with N/ 10 sodium hydroxide to a phenolphthalein end-point whereas the free acidity is the ml. of N/10 sodium hydroxide (points) required to neutralize a 10 m1. sample to a bromophenol blue end point.
- the diluted, 35.5 as. make-up solution was placed in va tank and heated to about to 180 F.
- these coated panels were painted with the usual primer and finish coats the finished stock showed excellent adherence of the paint, good corrosion resistance and an appearance entirely acceptable for commercial usage.
- similar hotdipped zinc coated steel panels were coated in a bath similar to that of this example, except for the substitution of approximately equivalent amounts of hydrofluoric acid or hydrofiuo'boric acid, the phosphate coatings were obiectionably seedy. it is clear, therefore, that it was the soluble silicon and not the fluoride content that eliminated the seediness.
- the make-up and replenisher solutions described in Example 1, above, are formulated so as to contain a balanced proportion of the ingredients and as high a total solids content as will not precipitate or crystallize out at 0 F.
- a dilution ratio of at least 1:1 is considered necessary for economy in shipping. Dilution ratios of at least 5, 10 or 15:1 or more are preferred.
- the concentrations of the ingredients are a simple multiple of the concentration of a working bath.
- the various ingredients are present in the ratio in which they are used up or removed from an operating bath. For example, the free acidity of the replenisher is higher than that of the make-up in order to maintain the free acidity of the operating bath.
- the phosphoric acid and zinc oxide which are the principal coating-producing agents, are present in a higher proportion in the rcplenisher than in the make-up for the same reason.
- these ingredients are combined in such high concentrations there is a tendency to form a precipitate, even at room temperature. This tendency is effectively overcome by the addition of sufficient excess hydrofluoric acid. For this purpose, only about 0.1 to 0.3% or more is required.
- hydrofluoric acid When stabilized with hydrofluoric acid these solutions can be stored or shipped Without special precaution and can be diluted with water to form excellent operating solutions.
- the replenisher is preferably added to the operating bath as is.
- Example 2 A nickel activated bath having the following composition was employed to treat hot-dipped steel sheet:
- H PO Grams/liter Phosphoric acid, H PO (75%) 13.7 Nitric acid, HNO (32 B.) 3.6 Zinc oxide, ZnO 3.1 Nickel carbonate, NiCO 4.6 Boric acid, H BO 1.8

Description
COMPOSTTION AND METHOD FOR CGATING METALLIC SURFACES James I. Maurer, St. Clair Shores, Micln, assignor to Parker Rust Proof Company, Detroit, Mich, a ration of Michigan No Drawing. Application January 26, 1955 Serial No. 484,310
8 Claims. (Cl. 148-=-6.15)
The present invention relates to improved solutions for, and to an improved method of, coating the surfaces of zinc-coated steel and iron to provide thereon an adherent, corrosion-resistant coating suitable as a base for protective finishing materials such as paint, lacquer, varnish, enamel, etc. More specifically, the invention relates to improved phosphate coating solutions and to an improved method of coating the surfaces of zinc-coated iron and steel made by certain continuous commercial hot-dipping processes to provide smoother, more satisfactory coatings and to a method which is more satisfactory under the operating conditions prevailing in such processes.
The formation of phosphate coatings on iron and zinc is well known, for example, U. S. Patent No. 1,221,046 discloses the coating of zinc and its alloys by treatment with a solution of phosphoric acid containing a nitrate accelerator. The latter patent and U. S. Patent No. 2,121,574 allege that more uniform phosphate coatings are obtained when nickel or cobalt ions are added to the phosphoric acid solution. U. S. Patents 1,869,121 and 1,888,189 disclose that copper ion in certain concentrations is beneficial in speeding up the action of a phosphate solution on a zinc surface. The surfaces of certain zinc alloys containing aluminum, which are coated only with great diificulty in nickel-accelerated phosphate solutions, are said in U. S. i' atent No. 2,591,479 to be easily coated when fiuoborate ion is added to a phosphate solution in combination with nickel ions. While these and other known solutions deposit satisfactory coatings on most zinc and zinc alloy surfaces, it was found that in certain high speed, hot-dip zinc coating processes the known phosphate coating solutions produced coatings that were covered with multitudinous small raised areas of intense coating action. The latter phenomenon, known as seediness, was not observed in the coating of electrogalvanized zinc surfaces or in other types of Zinc coated ferrous surfaces, rather it was observed only with certain types of high-speed, continuous hot-dipped Zinc surfaces such as those known commercially a Zincgrip or Ti- Co, said to be obtained by the continuous hot-dip zinc coating process disclosed in U. S. Patent 2,197,622. The
spots or raised pin-point areas of apparent intense coating action, when covered with paint or other protective finish, showed up as rough spots resembling a paint coating applied over a layer of sand or grit. The appearance of the finished product Was highly unsatisfactory from a commercial point of view. Since this particular type of zinc-coated material is beginning to come into more common use for the production of articles to be painted or finished, the necessity for a satisfactory phosphate coating process and solution is acute.
In accordance with the present invention, however, it has been discovered that phosphate coating solutions containing nickel ion and a small proportion of soluble silicon preferably as the silicofluoride ion, are capable of producing heavy, uniform, adherent phosphate coatings substantially free of seediness on theabove-mentioned types of continuous, hot-dipped zinc coated iron and steel.
ited States Patent ice As a result smooth, attractive 'paint coatings which are tightly adherent and corrosion resistant can be applied to these particular types of zinc coated metal. Moreover, the coating solutions and process of this invention remove an important obstacle in an important industrial process. The present invention also provides stable, concentrated make-up and replenisher solutions of great utility in commercial coating processes.
The phosphate solutions of this invention comprise phosphate (P0 ion, an ion such as zinc and manganese in sufficient proportion to produce a dihydrogen phosphate with the (P0 ion, a small proportion of nickel ion, a small proportion of soluble silicon preferably intro duced as a silicon-containing ion such as the silicotluoride (SiF ion, and an oxidant such as nitrite or nitrate ions. In addition, the solution may contain a small proportion of coopper as an additional accelerator, if desired. As used in this specification and in the appended claims, the term continuous hot-dipped, zinc-coated ferrous surface is intended to include any iron, steel or other ferrous surface which has been provided with a zinc coating by the continuous method of U. S. Patent 2,197,622 or other hot-dipping methods which produce zinc coatings which aquire a seedy phosphate coating in known phosphate coating solutions.
The process of U. S. Patent No. 2,197,622 for applying a zinc coating on ferrous surface comprises the steps of oxidizing the ferrous surface to form a thin oxide film thereon having a color ranging from light yellow to purple and ranging as far as gray, then reducing the oxide film to a film of the pure metal and while the reduced film remains protected in a non-oxidizing atmosphere the surface, in a flux-free condition, is immersed in a molten zinc bath containing a minor quantity of aluminum to thereby form a zinc coating when the surface is withdrawn from the bath and allowed to cool.
The phosphate coating solutions which are improved by the addition of the combinations of nickel and siliconcontaining ions contain as the essential coating-producing ingredients about 0.5 to 2.5% (W./vol.) P0 ion, at least sufficient zinc or manganese to form dihydrogen phosphate with the phosphate ion, and a suitable amount of an oxidizing ion such as the nitrate or nitrite ion or a mixture of nitrate and nitrite ions. The quantity of nitrate ion which is desirable is about 0.2 to about 1% with major benefits being obtained at about 0.3 to 0.5% N0 Where nitrite is used, substantially smaller quantitles are required to produce acceleration and about 0.0002 to 0.008% N0 may be utilized.
Over the entire ranges of concentrations given above for the principal ingredients, soluble silicon is noticeably effective in reducing the number of seeds or raised spots. However, if the proportions of zinc and/or manganese and oxidant are too high, seed-free coatings cannot always be obtained. It is preferred, therefore, to utilize a bath containing less than about 0.4 to 0.5% zinc or manganese, less than about 0.5% nitrate ion, or less than about 0.005 nitrite ion. it is also preferable to utilize baths of this type which have a total acidity of less than 40 points (see Example 1 for method of determining total acidity) and a ratio of PO, ion to zinc or manganese ion of not more than 5:1.
The maximum benefit from the use of nickel ion and copper ion if utilized, lies in a critically small range, be-
3 that both nickel and copper in the bath are depicted (as well as the coating producing constituents) as work is processed, it is desirable to maintain their effective working levels by replenishment. This is most conveniently accomplished by addition of a concentrated Jre'pIc'niSher solution to be described below.
The nickel and copper ions can be provided'by adding a salt which is soluble in the solution, for example, a carbonate, nitrate, chloride or sulfate. Likewise, the soluble silicon is added to the solution in the form of an acid such as hydrofiuosilicic acid or a static soluble sat such as the silicofluoride salts 'of sodium, potassium and ammonium.
The concentration of soluble silicon required for smooth, hard, and spot-freeouseed-free:phosp-hate coatings is very small. When aslittle as 0.03% of silicon is added, as sodium silicofiuoride, the tendency to form seedy coatings is greatly reduced. However, with proportions less than 0.03% silicon, the number of spots sometimes is reduced but their size is increased. When more than 0.03% is utilized both the number and size of the spots are significantly reduced. In general, the proportion of silicon required for seed-free or substantially seed-free coatings increases as the acivity of the solution is increased, that is, as the concentration of zinc or manganese, nickel, copper, oxidant and the total and free acid content of the solution increases. For most purposes, 0.03 to 0.1% will sutfice, with consistent comm :cially-acceptable coatings usually being obtained in commercial treatingbaths with as little as 0.04%. Silicon may be present in concentrations up to saturation, or in concentrations as large as the bath will tolerate without precipitation troubles. When introduced as silicofiuoride the proportion of fluoride ion may limit the amount to be tolerated. in some cases, however, a small proportion of excess hydrofluoric acid will prevent precipitation troubles in the bath. The stabilizing effect of hydrofluoric acid is made use of in the formation of concentrated, stable make-up and replenisher solutions which can be stored and shipped without precipitation and which are simply diluted to make a new bath, or used as is for addition to an operating bath, as required. These concentrated solutions, of course, have utility for coating other types of zinc-coated ferrous surfaces.
The solutions of this invention containing the combination of nickel, copper and silicon in the ranges of concentration given above form hard, adherent, uniform and seed-free coatings on the particular types of hot-dipped, zinc-coated ferrous surfaces described above. The coatings produced have excellent resistance to corrosion and have excellent adherence properties for paints, lacquers, enamels, varnishes, and other protective coatings. The solutions of this invention can be utilized as an adjunct to the above-mentioned high speed hot dip zinc coating processes wherein sheet iron or steel in continuous strips are fed at high speeds successively through rolling mills, zinc coating stages and finally through the phosphate coating process. The solutions can be applied by immersion, spraying or any other suitable method. Bath temperatures required will usually vary between 130 and 180 F., with 130 to 160 F. being preferred.
Example I A separate make-up and a separate replenisher solu ion were built up containing the following materials:
"iii
Total Acidity. 20. l 32. 8 Free Acidity. 2. 8 G. 1 Percent Silico O. 04 0.03 Specific Gravity 35. 5 44. 3
The total acidity given above is the ml. of N/ 10 NaOH (points) determined by titrating a 10 ml. sample with N/ 10 sodium hydroxide to a phenolphthalein end-point whereas the free acidity is the ml. of N/10 sodium hydroxide (points) required to neutralize a 10 m1. sample to a bromophenol blue end point. The diluted, 35.5 as. make-up solution was placed in va tank and heated to about to 180 F. A plurality of hot-dipped steel panels of brands known as Zincgrip or Ti-Co, said to be made by the process of U. S. Patent 2,197,622, were immersed in the solution for about three minutes to age the solution (about 100 sq. ft. for every 4 liters of solution). The aging panels received especially adherent, hard and dense coatings which were completely smooth and uniform. Panels treated in a similar bath not containing the hydrofiuosilicic acid were covered with white spots or seedy areas wherein the coating was built up above the surrounding surface. The original make-up bath was utilized for an extended period under commercial operating conditions during which time the original concentration was maintained by periodic additions of the undiluted replenisher solution. The processing sequence for this continuous operation was:
(1) Alkaline cleaner-spray or rinse at about 160 F.
(2) A second alkaline cleaner at about -160 F. (optional).
(3) Hot water rinse at 158 F.
(4) Phosphate treatment for about one minute at about (5) Water rinse at about 88 F.
(6) Chromic acid'rinse at about 137 F.
(7) Air dry.
The panels continued to receive satisfactory phosphate coatings substantially free, and sometimes completely free, of seediness over a period of months of continued usage of the same bath. When these coated panels were painted with the usual primer and finish coats the finished stock showed excellent adherence of the paint, good corrosion resistance and an appearance entirely acceptable for commercial usage. When, however, similar hotdipped zinc coated steel panels were coated in a bath similar to that of this example, except for the substitution of approximately equivalent amounts of hydrofluoric acid or hydrofiuo'boric acid, the phosphate coatings were obiectionably seedy. it is clear, therefore, that it was the soluble silicon and not the fluoride content that eliminated the seediness.
The make-up and replenisher solutions described in Example 1, above, are formulated so as to contain a balanced proportion of the ingredients and as high a total solids content as will not precipitate or crystallize out at 0 F. A dilution ratio of at least 1:1 is considered necessary for economy in shipping. Dilution ratios of at least 5, 10 or 15:1 or more are preferred. In the case of the make-up, the concentrations of the ingredients are a simple multiple of the concentration of a working bath. In the replenisher, however, the various ingredients are present in the ratio in which they are used up or removed from an operating bath. For example, the free acidity of the replenisher is higher than that of the make-up in order to maintain the free acidity of the operating bath. The phosphoric acid and zinc oxide, which are the principal coating-producing agents, are present in a higher proportion in the rcplenisher than in the make-up for the same reason. When these ingredients are combined in such high concentrations there is a tendency to form a precipitate, even at room temperature. This tendency is effectively overcome by the addition of sufficient excess hydrofluoric acid. For this purpose, only about 0.1 to 0.3% or more is required. When stabilized with hydrofluoric acid these solutions can be stored or shipped Without special precaution and can be diluted with water to form excellent operating solutions. The replenisher, however, is preferably added to the operating bath as is.
Example 2 A nickel activated bath having the following composition was employed to treat hot-dipped steel sheet:
Grams/liter Phosphoric acid, H PO (75%) 13.7 Nitric acid, HNO (32 B.) 3.6 Zinc oxide, ZnO 3.1 Nickel carbonate, NiCO 4.6 Boric acid, H BO 1.8
Hydrofluoric acid, HF (60%) 3.6
The above solution was heated to 130 to 180 F. in a suitable container. Hot dipped steel sheet prepared by the process described hereinabove, treated for one minute in this bath acquired adherent, hard and dense coatings averaging between about 250 and 350 mg./ sq. ft. The coatings, however, were excessively seedy and after painting did not have a good appearance. Sodium silicofluoride in the amount of 3.5 lbs. per 100 gallons was then added and another series of panels were processed as before. The coatings produced were more uniform and so free of the objectionable seediness that painted panels prepared therefrom were of much better appearance. Paint adhesion and corrosion resistance were as good, if not better, than those coated in the bath without sodium silicofluoride.
