Definitions

  • Such transformation is accomplished according to the invention in that the surfaces'are treated with solutions of elementary sulfur in organic amines, namely, in alkyl amines, aryl amines, hydroxyalkyl amines or hydroxyaryl amines, which solutions are preferably diluted with water for use.
  • This treatment results in the formation of a relatively loosely deposited copper sultide layer and a layer, which has been formed by chemical interdiffusion and can be detected by a microscopic examination revealing an exchange of copper by sulfur in the crystal lattice of the copper.
  • the first-mentioned layer has only a small resistance to mechanical and thermal stresses.
  • the layer formed by chemical interdiffusion is the, result of the incorporation of a foreign substance and resists all stresses which may occur.
  • the quantities of copper dissolved in the testing fluid were colorimetrically determined in an AF 201 Lovibond Comparator by the sodium-diethyldithiocarbamate method.
  • the quantities of dissolved copper were higher' by about one power of ten for the untreated tubes than for the treated tubes, as follows:
  • testing specimens 5 and 6 freshly precipitated ferric hydroxide was flushed into the testing fluid and the specimens were also left in the testing fluid for 4-40 weeks. The specimens were then removed from the testing fluid and the ferric hydroxide still contained in the fluid was flushed out with distilled water. Distinct bulges due to corrosion were observed on the uncoated tube where it had been supported. Only rough areas were observed on the coated tube.
  • Tap water C1 in amounts of 0.3, 0.1, and 5.0
  • Tap water N0 (as Ca(NO or Mg(.NO in amounts of 20 and 100 milligrams per liter;
  • the specimens treated with aqueous solutions of monoethanolamine containing 20% sulfur and with isopropanolamine containing 15% sulfur in a dilution of 1:500 at room temperature (20 C.) for a time of 5 minutes or 10 minutes showed in uncovered surface portions as a result of an insufficient degreasing. Besides, the covering was very thin so that the copper still shines through. After a treatment under the above mentioned conditions for a time of 30 or 60 minutes, the covering formed by the treatment with monoethanolamine-sulfur was satisfactory and had a mat finish and the covering formed by the treatment with isopropanolamine-sulfur was uniform (surface without defects) but thinner.
  • Specimens treated for 30 or 60 minutes with an aqueous solution of monoethanolamine-sulfur in a dilution of 1:500 at 50 C. were not improved in surface finish over the specimens treated at 20 C.
  • the previously degreased copper tubes were additionally degreased with carbon tetrachloride and acetone.
  • the treatment with an aqueous solution of monoethanolamine-sulfur at 20 C. for 30 or 60 minutes resulted in a much thicker copper-sulfur layer.
  • Copper tubes 40 centimeters long and 14 millimeters in diameter were provided. Part of these tubes were in the as-drawn condition and another part had been blown through with superheated steam. When these copper tubes were treated with a monoethanolaminesulfur solution at a dilution of 1:500 at C. for about minutes, a glossy sulfide surface layer was formed in both cases on the inside surface of the tube. No bare copper areas were found in the tubes that had been blown through with superheated steam.
  • a plurality of copper tubes having a length of 40 centimeters and 14 millimeters in diameter were treated once as described hereinbefore for 30 minutes with a solution of monoethanolamine-sulfur in a dilution of 1:500 at 20 C. for 30 minutes and once for 60 minutes with a similar solution but in a dilution of 1:1000 at 20 C.
  • the resulting specimens were investigated.
  • a method for protecting copper surfaces against corrosion comprising treating the surfaces to be protected with a solution of elementary sulfur in the proportion of 15 to 20% by weight in a hydroxyalkyl amine, said solution being diluted with H O in the ratio of 1:100 to 1:1000 before application.
  • a method for protecting copper surfaces against corrosion comprising treating the copper surfaces with a 20% by weight solution of elementary sulfur in monoethanolamine which is diluted with water in the ratio of 1:500.
  • a method for protecting copper surfaces against corrosion comprising treating the copper surfaces with a 15% by weight solution of elementary sulfur in isopropanolamine which is diluted with water in the ratio of 1:500.
