Definitions

  • This invention relates to procedures and solutions for forming corrosion resistant and paint bonding coatings on the surfaces of aluminum and aluminum alloys. More particularly, this invention concerns aqueous acidic solutions of the general type which contain the hexavalent chromium ion and fluoride ions and which are improved by the inclusion therein of a modifying constituent which improves the speed, efliciency and ease of operation of the solution to produce adherent, corrosion resisting chromate coatings on aluminum or aluminum alloy surfaces.
  • the present invention relates to solutions for and methods of treating aluminum-containing surfaces which are in the same general category as those described in such typical United States patents as 2,276,353; 2,471,909; 2,472,864; 2,796,370; 2,796,371; 2,507,956; 2,843,513; 2,859,144; 2,868,679; 2,839,439; and 3,009,842.
  • ferricyanide activated solutions for coating aluminum a number of operational difficulties have been encountered. Such solutions must constantly contain a certain minimum quantity of the ferricyanide ion in order to preserve the coating rate and coating efliciency at levels which are commercially acceptable from the combined standpoints of quality and economy. It has been observed that the ferricyanide ion is sensitive to temperature degradation at temperatures of above about 120125 F., and unless care is constantly exercised to avoid exceeding this temperature, even at localized areas of an operating tank installation, the ferricyanide becomes degraded and incapable of maintaining the solution in acceptanble coating-forming condition.
  • the primary object of this invention to provide an improved chromate-fluoride solution which operates at high speed and high efficiency to form a corrosion-resistant, paint receptive coating on aluminum which is capable of operating at high coating rate and high efficiency over a wide range of pH and temperature and which is suitable for use at temperatures up to those approaching the boiling point of the solution.
  • Another object of this invention is to provide an improved chromate-fluoride aqueous acidic coating solution for aluminum which is stable upon standing at room temperature without use.
  • Another object of this invention is to provide a process for coating aluminum which employs a chromate-fluoride aqueous acidic solution that is capable of being maintained in optimum coating condition 'by replenishing with a single replenishing material; a further object is to provide replenishing materials for use in the improved process of this invention.
  • a further important object of this invention is to provide a process for coating aluminum which employs a chromate-fluoride aqueous acidic solution which is economical to use, easy to control and maintain in optimum coating-forming condition and capable of providing adherent, corrosion-resistant, colored coatings having predetermined shades, as desired.
  • the present invention is based on the discovery that aqueous acidic solutions containing the hexavalent chromium ion and the fluoride ion can be converted into highspeed coating-forming solutions by incorporating therein the tungsten anion so long as certain quantities and relative proportions of tne hexavalent chromium and tungsten anions are maintained in the solution and the solution contains a controlled proportion of a complex aluminum fluoride ion.
  • tungsten anion is capable of changing CrOg-fluoride ion aqueous acidic solution from a slow, low-efliciency coating solution into a high speed, high efficiency solution which is easy to control and maintain in'peak coating condition during continuous use.
  • the solutions are predominantly chromate solutions and may contain from about 0.5 to about 10 grams/liter CrO In these solutions which also contain a sufficient quantity of the fluoride ion to cause attack of the aluminum surface and resulting coating formation, it has been found that at least a minimum of about 0.1 grams/liter of tungsten is necessary in the solution in order to obtain a significant improvement in the rate and efficiency of coating formation.
  • This minimum quantity of tungsten is most effective to form high speed, adherent, corrosion resistant coatings on the surfaces of aluminum and aluminum alloys when there is also present in the solution a quantity of an aluminum fluoride complex ion equivalent to about 2.2 to about 32 grams/liter of Al(F)
  • a quantity of an aluminum fluoride complex ion equivalent to about 2.2 to about 32 grams/liter of Al(F) In the absence of such a controlled quantity of Al(F) it has been observed that the highest speed of coating and highest efiiciency are not attained, although the tungsten anion alone, produces a markedimprovernent in the coating ability of a CrO fluoride ion activated aqueous acidic solution.
  • the aluminum fluoride complex ion is expressed as Al(F) because it is present in the operating solution as an equilibrium of AIF ions which may contain from 1 to 6 fluoride atoms per aluminum atom and in the solutions of this invention this equilibrium averages out to be approximately equivalent to the AlF ion.
  • the expression AMP) is intended to represent any aluminum fluoride ion and the quantities thereof refer to an amount of such ion equivalent to the AIR, ion.
  • Coating efliciency refers to the relative quantity of coating formed to the amount of metal dissolved from the surface of the metal being coated and is specifically the ratio obtained by dividing the metal loss in milligrams per square ft. of surface treated by the coating weight on the same area in milligrams per square ft.
  • the coating efficiency increases and the lowest numbers represent the highest efliciency of coating formation.
  • a chromic acid solution containing the fluoride ion as its sole activator ion dissolves between about 40 and about 200 milligrams per square ft.
  • a typical coating solution of this invention forms 100 milligrams per square ft. of coating while dissolving only between about to about 33 milligrams of aluminum metal per square ft.; such coatings are formed at high speed, measured in seconds, and the coating efficiency varies between 0.15 and 0.33, which is a relatively high efiiciency range.
  • compositions of this invention include, the hexavalent chromium ion, the fluoride ion, the tungsten ion and an aluminum fluoride ion and these ions may be present in the relative proportions, expressed in percent, weight/volume, as set forth in the Formulations I and II which follow:
  • Solution component percent w./v. CrO 0.05-1 Fluoride ion 0.16-2.7 Tungsten anion as tungsten 0.01-0.4 Al(F) complex 0.22-3.2'
  • Solution component percent w./v. CrO 0.20.5 Fluoride ion 0.16-1.6 Tungsten anion as tungsten 0.030.1 Al(F) complex 022-19
  • the heaxavalent chromium ion may be supplied as chromic acid or one or more of the water soluble salts thereof, including the sodium, potassium or ammonium chromates or dichromates or admixtures thereof with chromic acid and its salts.
  • the fluoride ion may be supplied by any fluorine-containing compound which is capable of ionizing in the aqueous acidic solutions of this invention to provide the fluoride ion, such as hydrofluoric acid, fluosilicic acid, or fluoboric acid and the sodium, potassium and ammonium salts thereof.
  • the aluminum fluoride ion may be supplied as such or may be formed in the bath as a complex from free aluminum and fluoride ion.
  • the fluoride may be present as HF, HBF or H SiF
  • the tungsten ion may be supplied in the solution of this invention by adding thereto any ionizable tungsten compound such as tungstic acid, or its sodium or potassium or ammonium salts, which will give the tungsten anion when oxidized by chromic acid or the salts thereof.
  • the solutions of this invention may be used to form coatings on the surfaces of aluminum or aluminum alloys by dipping, brushing, or spraying the solution on the sur- 4 face after conventional cleaning procedures have been employed to free the surface of oil, grease, oxideor the like.
  • the solutions may alsobe applied to form coatings by atomizing the solution on the surface in a heated condition.
  • this atomization application procedure comprises the steps of preliminarily heating the aluminum or aluminum alloy surface to be coatedto a temperature above about F.
  • the coatings of this invention are slightly colored and vary in appearance from iridescent to light-gold to yellow to brown, generally as the coating weight increases.
  • the highspeed, high efficiency coating method of this invention broadly comprises the above enumerated steps of using the selected form of application of the coating solution to the aluminum or aluminum alloy surface to pending uponthe acidity and the concentration of the.
  • tungsten and aluminum fluoride complex ion in the solution it is possible to obtain an increase in the coating rate of from 2-5 times that obtainedat room temperature from a solution containing a constant quantity of CrO and the fluoride ion.
  • the pH of the operating solution significantly affects the coating rate and coating efliciency of the solution being applied to the aluminum or aluminumalloy surface but excellent results are obtained over a fairly wide range of pH variations.
  • the solutions may be operated satisfactorily in the pH range of about 1.1 to about 2.3 and preferably in the range of about 1.6 to about 2.1.
  • the pH range refers to measurements taken by using an electrical pH meter employing a glass electrode and a calomel electrode by immersing the electrodes in freshportions of the solution and observing the indicated value.
  • the glass electrode is maintained in optimum condition by taking care to rinse the electrode, immediately upon its removal from the solution being tested, in a solution of five normal hydrochloric acid by inserting in that solution for two to three minutes and thereafter rinsing the electrode in pure water. Between measurements, the electrode is kept immersed in pure water and prior to each use is checked against a standard buffer.
  • the tungsten anion containing chromate-fluoride solutions of this invention are basically different from any of the heretofore known chromate solutions for coating aluminum, and although the entire reason for this fact is not known with certainty, the evidence is clear that the concurrent chemical reactions occur, ionic balances are changing and resultant concentrations and relative proportions of active ingredients migrate toward a condition of inbalance and loss of coating-forming ability.
  • hexavalent chromium, fluoride and tungsten anions are used in metal attack and coating formation, aluminum is released during metal attack, remains in the solution and forms varying aluminum fluoride complexes depending upon pH and temperature, some hexavalent chromium is reduced to trivalent chromium which remains in the solution and at least partially forms complexes with fluoride, acid is consumed in coating formation and the pH tends to rise, some of the tungsten anion and aluminum fluoride complexes apparently form additional stabilizing complexes and as an overall result the relative proportions of hexavalent chromium, fluoride and tungsten tend to change.
  • corrosion resistant, adherent coatings are formed on the aluminum or aluminum alloy surfaces in a matter of a few seconds, for example, about 1 to about 20 seconds and by modifying the compositions as to tungsten anion content, fluoride ion content, aluminum fluoride complex ion content, and as to pH and acidity, it is possible to maintain the coating rate suificiently fast to form a coating weight on continuous strips of aluminum or aluminum alloys having a weight in the range of about 15 to about 40 milligrams per square ft. in 1 to 2 seconds of contact time.
  • EXAMPLE I gold in color and had coating weights varying from about 20 to about 50 milligrams per square ft., average, depending upon the contact time.
  • the coating efilciency calculated as metal loss in milligrams per square ft. divided .by the coating weight in milligrams per square ft. averaged 0.2.
  • This solution was maintained free of trivalent chromium ions and at the above level of aluminum fluoride complex by constantly cycling a small portion of the solution through an ion exchange resin column filled with Dowex 50, 20-100 mesh cation exchange resin, and after many thousands of surface feet of'aluminum had been processed through the solution, the coating obtained was still similar in appearance and the coating weight and the coating efiiciency remained substantially constant.
