CRAIG RITCHIE ARNOLD, OF SHARON HILL, PENNSYLVANIA.
PROCESS OF COATING METALS WITH OXIDS.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 514,896, dated February 20, 1894.
Application filed April 29, 1893- Serlal No. 472,105, (No specimens.)
T on whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, CRAIG RITCHIE AR- NOLD, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Sharon Hill, in the county of Delawareand State of Pennsylvania, have invented a certain new and useful Process of Coating Metals with Oxids, of which the following is a specification. Y
My invention relates to those processes of coating metals with oxides which consists in making the article to be coated the anode of abath containing the material for the coating desired in solution, and is designed primarily as an improvement upon those processes whichare employedto give the metal a coating of peroxide of lead.
My invention is designed for use with copper and its alloys, or with iron, steel or'other metals." I
It has heretofore been proposed to coat metals with a bi-oxide of lead by suspending the article in a bath containing nitrate of lead in solution and with or without other materials,and ma I a be coated tpe lmdeof the bath, and it has also been proposed; islprocesstosuspe ndapalhode i nltlqhamber congining a sii'i'fibled'epplarizmg ar enal and chambeijontainingjtlifeibath proper by a? porous m nraw."
My invention consists in immersing the cathode in a solution of caustic soda or its equivalent as hereinafter described, separated from the bath proper by the porous diaphragm.
The oxidizing agents employed previous to my invention foroxidizing thehydrogen set free during the action of blackening or browning the metal with the oxide of lead have some of them been liable to the objection that if the process be carriedon too rapidly metallic lead would be deposited on the cathode and its surrounding diaphragm or porous cup. This deposit of metallic lead on the cathode not only prevents the oxidation of the hydrogen, but it would so impoverish the solution by the withdrawal of lead that the bath would become Very sluggish in .its action and it would become necessary to suspend operations for the time being until a new diaphragm could be substituted, and the solution be replenished.
It has heretofore been proposed to use dioxide of manganese as the oxidizing substance in connection with the bath containing nitrate of lead in solution for the anode.
My present invention consists in the substitution for the dioxide of manganese of a It hasprior to myinvention been proposed to employ a bath for the anode composed of nitrate of lead and caustic soda or potash.
My present invention consists in the addition to a bath containing the nitrate of lead in solution, of an oxide of lead or its equivalent (a hydrate). The oxide or its equivalent I add in quantities to produce a turbidity in 7 the solution. During plating, the finely powdered oxide may be added and while the operation is going on thorough motion'should be imparted'to the solution.
To make a bath of the nitrate of lead, I pro ceed as follows:In order to prepare twentytwo gallons of plating bath, dissolve twentytwo .pounds of nitrate of lead in seven gallons of hot water. This solution is poured into eleven gallons of caustic soda of the specific gravity of 1.20, after having warmed it to 70 Centigrade. This solution is kept at this temperature for say, thirty minutes and mixed well; and after cooling down, sufficient Water is added to make up the required amount of bath. During plating, finely powdered litharge is added to the bath and during the operation thorough agitation should be imparted to the solution. The article to be plated is suspended from the anode pole. The articleto be coated, after being carefully cleansed by any Well known method employed in processes ofelectrical deposition, in order to remove all oxides and fatty material, is immersedin the bath and made the positive pole of a circuit of the dynamo electric malcd chine or other source of energy, and electric current is passed through the bath until the article has obtained the required deposit. The results produced by this bath are much superior to those obtained with baths heretofore proposed.
What I claim as my invention is- 1. The herein described improvement in coating metals by making the article to be coated the anode of a bath containing nitrate of lead in solution to which oxide of lead or its equivalent, as described, is added, as and for the purpose described.
2. The herein described improvement in coating metals by making the article to be coated the anode of a bath composed of nitrate of lead and caustic sodaor potash to CRAIG RITCHIE ARNOLD.
