7 Claims. (Cl. 117-109) This invention relates to the discovery of certain chemicals which constitute improved coating promoter compounds and which make possible an improved meth od for metal coating various metal articles without the use of electrical energy, heat or molten metal.
It is a general object of this invention to provide an improved process for forming protective metallic coatings on metal articles, which method is economical to carry out, simple in operation, and produces a very strong coating of high quality on the articles.
Another object is the provision of a new and improved coating or plating promoter chemicals Which enable the process to be carried out with the addition of a minimum amount of chemical additives and makes possible and feasible the continued reuse of such chemicals in subsequent batches of the coating operation.
More particularly, the improved process and promoter compound of this invention has for its object the rapid and economical coating of projectiles for firearm cartridges with brass, to improve both the appearance, storage qualities, and the performance characteristics of such projectiles.
A general process of somewhat similar nature is disclosed in British Patent No. 534,888, dated March 21, 1941, and subsequent improvements therein have appeared with the issue of the following United States patents: No. 2,640,001, issued May 26, 1953, to E. T. Clayton; Re. 23,861, issued Aug. 31, 1954, to E. T. Clayton; and No. 2,689,808, issued Sept. 21, 1954, to E. T. Clayton.
The method of applying the metallic coating to metallic articles generally involves a container or drum mounted for suitable agitation such as revolving or tumbling, a group of articles to be plated, a quantity of metal to form the desired coating, in finely divided powder form, and a solution containing certain chemicals which assist and accelerate the coating process. The articles to be coated, the powdered metal, and impact media, such as shot, if desired, and the solution containing the chemicals, are all placed in the drum which is then agitated until the powder is converted into a uniform coating on the articles by the effects of the tumbling. The physical and chemical phenomena which are generally believed to take place are discussed in the above referenced patents.
It is, of course, a much sought-after commercial objective to achieve a dense uniform coating on the articles within a minimum time and With the most economic or minimum expenditure of promoter chemicals. The improved coating promoter compounds of applicants invention not only achieved a very excellent coating in a short time but by reason of their ability to be reused, make possible an improved and far more economical process. Smaller quantities of the promoter chemicals are required for each batch of articles coated.
The improved process of applicants invention is related to the discovery by them of compounds which can be used for promoting metal plating and which are superior to those heretofore knownv A simplified flow diagram of the process is as follows:
Metal articles such as lead bullet slugs Tumble in plating promoter one-halt hour Add powdered metal such as brass tumble one-half hour lgor reuse if desired Drain Wash and dry Filter metal articles solution Fortiiy with citric acid weight:
Percentage by Weight Octyl trimethyl ammonium chloride 1.67 Decyl trimethyl ammonium chloride 1.88 Dodecyl trimethyl ammonium chloride 17.29 Tetra decyl trimethyl ammonium chloride 4.50 Hexadecyl trimethyl ammonium chloride 17.09 Octadecyl trimethyl ammonium chloride 2.46 Octadecenyl trimethyl ammonium chloride 3.25
'Octadecadienyl trimethyl ammonium chloride 1.88 Isopropanol 35.30 Sodium chloride 1.00 Water 13.70
The range of proportions of the ammonium salts are set forth as follows:
From min. of
'Octyl trimethyl ammonium chloride 0.2% up Decyl trimethyl ammonium chloride 0.2% up Dodecyl trimethyl ammonium chloride 1.7% up Tetra decyl trimethyl ammonium chloride 0.5% up Hexadecyl trimethyl ammonium chloride 1.7% up Octadecyl trimethyl ammonium chloride 0.3% up Octadecenyl trimethyl ammonium chloride 0.3% up Octadecadienyl trimethyl ammonium choride..- 0.2% up The isopropanol and sodium chloride percentages remain constant. The practical upper limits of the ammonium chloride salts are determined by the point at which at least all the varieties, of the salt in the above minimum quantifies can be added. Excess amounts of any of these salts were not found to adversely afiect the plating process below acceptable limits although these limits were considerably below the optimum limits of the preferred proportions. The formulation must include at least one and preferably at least three different salts from the group of ammonium salts discussed above.
The specifications for a charge of material to be placed into the agitating or tumbling drum for one coating cycle are set forth as follows:
20 lbs. of lead slugs,
10 ml. of the aforementioned isopropanol-ammonium chloride compound,
0.75 oz. of citric acid,
290 ml. of water,
2.5 oz. of brass powder (80% through 325 mesh, 100% through 100 mesh).
After charging all of this material except the brass powder into the drum, the drum is tumbled for one-half hour. Next, the brass powder is added and the drum is tumbled for a total of one hour. The drum circumferential speed should be in the vicinity of 147 feet per minute for a cylindrical drum with a roughened interior having a diameter of seven inches. The solution is drained ofi, filtered, or settled to remove any sludge, and returned for reuse after addition of citric acid. The plated slugs or articles are washed and dried and then moved onto the next processing step, if any.
It has been determined that the concentration of the isopropanol mixture described above can be varied from 5 ml. per hundred pounds of lead articles or slugs to as high as 300 ml. per hundred pounds. A preferred optimum operating range for lead bullets lies in the area from 25 to 100 ml. per hundred pounds of articles to be coated.
The use of applicants improved coating promoter agent makes possible an improved and economical process in which substantially smaller quantities of promoter chemicals are used and in which the promoter agent can be reused. In addition, the coating takes place in a short time period and results in a very dense adherent strong coating of a highly attractive nature and capable of surviving the subsequent swaging operation.
The process may conveniently be carried out at ordinary ambient temperatures. No heat input is required.
Although, in accordance with the patent statutes, we have in the above specification disclosed a preferred embodiment of our invention, it is desired that the scope of our invention be determined by the language of the appended claims.
