United States Patent 3,393,135 BRIGHT ZINC ELECTRO-PLATING William E. Rosenberg, Pas-ma, Ohio, assignor, by mesne assignments, to Enthoue, Incorporated, West Haven, Conn., a corporation of Connecticut No Drawing. Filed Aug. 5, 1965, Ser. No. 477,607
. 7 Claims. (Cl. 204-55) ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE This invention concerns alkaline zinc cyanide electroplating enabling bright, lustrous zinc deposits without the necessity of a subsequent bright dipping, and involving the use as an addition agent in the electroplating bath of a bath-soluble polyethylenimine, preferably a soluble lower alkyl-substituted polyethylenimine wherein one or more of the hydrogen atoms is sus'btituted by a l-3C alkyl radical or a substitution derivative of such alkylsubstituted polyethylenimine wherein one or more of the alkyl hydrogens is substituted by a bath-compatible organic radical, for example the carboxyl, esterified carbonyl, aldehyde, acetyl, ether, carboxyl, or cyano radical, or the hydroxy or amino radical or group.
This invention relates to the art of electroplating zinc. It is particularly concerned with new zinc cyanide plating bath compositions, for plating metallic substrata or articles, for instance, those of steel or copper, and new addition agent compositions enabling the bath compositions to produce bright, lustrous zinc deposits without the necessity of subsequent bright dipping operations. This invention is also concerned with a new method for plating bright, lustrous zinc deposits.
Prior art commercial bright zinc cyanide plating baths are characterized by a distinct tendency to produce bright but yellowish, off-white deposits having an objectionable colored surface film. This defect can partially be offset by the use of multiple addition agents, which has numerous disadvantages, so it is general practice to remove this objectionable colored surface film with a bright dip. Such bright dips remove some zinc as well as the surface film and therefore are objectionable on this score as well as on the basis of their cost and the cost of an added operation and rinse in the finishing process;
Another fault inherent in zinc cyanide plating bath addition agents now in commercial use is bath instability which require frequent removal of such agents to maintain optimum operating plating bath composition. In addition, most of these agents produce objectionable bath contaminants as products of their oxidation, hydrolysis, polymerization or decomposition-thus requiring frequent bath purification to remove such contaminants.
One object of this invention is to provide new and improved alkaline zinc cyanide plating bath compositions which produce on metallic substrates or articles bright, lustrous, while, unstained and uncolored zinc deposits, without the requirements of a subsequent bright dipping treatment.
Another object of this invention is to provide new addition agent compositions for alkaline zinc cyanide plating baths and which enable the production of the bright, lustrous, white, unstained and uncolored zinc deposits without subsequent bright dipping operations.
A further object is to provide a new and improved method for electroplating bright, lustrous zinc on metallic substrates or articles.
Additional objects and advantages will be readily apparent as the invention is hereinafter described in detail.
The addition agents of my invention produce white, bright, unstained zinc deposits directly from the zinc cyanide plating bath, thus eliminating the need for using a subsequent bright dip, thereby preserving all the zinc deposited on the base metal surface as a protection against corrosion.
The new and improved alkaline zinc cyanide plating bath of this invention is provided by adding to the prior alkaline zinc cyanide plating baths a minor amount of a bath-soluble, unsubstituted or lower alkyl-substituted polyethylenimine or a derivative of the last-mentioned lower alkyl-substituted polyethylenimine wherein one or more alkyl hydrogens is substituted by a bath-compatible organic radical as hereinafter disclosed, either in solid form or as a solution in a bath-compatible inert liquid solvent. These bath-soluble, unsubstituted or lower alkylsubstituted polyethylenimines and derivatives thereof are designated and referred to herein by the generic term a bath-soluble polyethylenimine or polyethylenimine.
The polyethylenimine of the addition agent composition of the present invention is soluble and stable in alkaline zinc cyanide plating baths, thus contributing greatly to both stability and economy of operation; and such addition agent compositions greatly improve the overall throwing power of the plating bath as well as the covering power in low current density areas, thus providing superior corrosion protection for such areas as well as greater uniformity of deposit thickness on all areas being plated.
The polyethylenimine which I prefer to use is a lower alkyl-substituted polyethylenimine, that is, a polyethylenimine in which one or more of the hydrogens is substituted by a lower alkyl, i.e., a l-3C alkyl, radical such as methyl, ethyl, n-propyl or isopropyl, and including their substitution derivatives in which one or more alkyl hydrogens is substituted by a bath-compatible organic radical such as, for example, carboxyl, esterified carboxyl, aldehyde, acetyl, ether, carbonyl, and other bath-compatible organic radicals, the hydroxy or amino radicals, either singly or in combination, the important consideration being that the polyalkylethylenimine is sufi'iciently soluble in the plating bath to be effective as an addition agent.
The polyethylenimine additive herein is characterized by a molecular structure made up of a plurality of repeating units of the formula:
in which R R R R and R are from the group of hydrogen, lower alkyl radicals, i.e., methyl, ethyl, npropyl or isopropyl and their substitution derivatives wherein one or more alkyl hydrogen is substituted by the bath-compatible organic radical as previously disclosed herein, and n is an integer of within the range generally about 5-300, preferably about 5-265. The value of n can be varied to control the molecular weight of the polymer so as to provide within the range aforesaid maximum effective addition agent action at various current densities as desired, as well as the bath solubility of the compound. The actual value of n in any instance will also depend on the nature of the substituent R groups, some of which contribute to the solubility of the polymer, while others detract therefrom. The actual composition of any specific addition agent will therefore be determined by the R groups, and the value of n, so balanced as to secure the addition agent effect desired and required bath solubility. The polyethylenimine additive herein has a molecular weight of preferably 1,00050,000.
The polyethylenimine used is a minor amount, sufiicient to impart brightness to the electrodeposited zinc and to improve throwing power of the bath as well as covering power in low current density areas. Such amount will vary depending on the structure of the polyethylenimine, its solubility, the bath composition and results desired, but will generally be small in amounts ranging from about 0.004 to about 0.1 oz./ gallon of bath for optimum results. In general, the actual amount used is not critical since bath solubility is usually the limiting factor.
The unsubstituted polyethylenimine herein is obtainable in commerce. The substituted polyethylenimines herein are obtained by contacting the monomer in aqueous solution at normal temperature with either HCl, H SO AlCl H PO or CO as catalyst, whereby polymerization is efiected to obtain the polyethylenimine. The substituted ethylenimine monomers for preparation of the substituted polyethylenimines are prepared in accordance with the preparation procedure set forth, in the following publications.
