Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for surface treatment of aluminiferous metal-containing structures with acidic conversion treatment baths.
- the method is particularly useful for treating the surfaces of car bodies, household electrical appliances, and the like, with phosphate conversion coating baths, chromate treatment baths, and they like.
- the present invention relates to a method for reproducibly controlling the chemical activity of fluorine in conversion treatment baths.
- the fluoride ion concentration in an aqueous solution is generally measured directly using a fluorine ion meter.
- Japanese Patent Application Sho 63-17879 discloses a measurement method that relates to phosphate conversion treatment solutions.
- the fluoride ion concentration in a sample is measured after calibration of the fluorine ion electrode with fluorine reference solutions of known fluorine ion concentration.
- the phosphate conversion treatment is operated by adjusting the bath components to maintain the fluoride ion concentration within a specified range.
- the fluoride ion concentration is accurately measured and maintained the conversion film thickness and the coating add-on per unit area is subject to substantial variations when conversion treatment is operated continuously while holding the fluoride ion concentration as well as other managed parameters (e.g., pH, total acidity) at their respectively prescribed values.
- the film weight is an indication of the conversion treatment performance, in conversion treatments such as, zinc phosphate conversion treatment, the film weight value can be taken as an index of the conversion treatment performance.
- conversion treatment is implemented based on the fluoride ion measurement instability is observed not only in the corrosion resistance and paint adherence of the treated substrate, but also in the corrosion resistance and adherence of the paint film.
- the fluorine concentration which contributes to the activity of an acidic conversion treatment bath having pH below about 4 is directly potentiometrically titrated, without pH adjustment, using a fluorine ion electrode as indicator electrode and using as titrant an aqueous solution containing aluminum ion, lanthanum ion, yttrium ion, zirconium ion, gallium ion, cerium ion, or beryllium ion.
- the effective fluorine concentration (EFC) is determined from the quantity of titrant addition up to the inflection point on the potential curve of the fluorine ion electrode.
- the EFC value afforded by the measurement method of the present invention has a better correlation with the conversion process in acidic conversion treatment baths than the fluoride ion concentration values measured heretofore (detection of the total fluorine concentration or free fluoride ion concentration) .
- Figure 1 is a graph of the relationship between the EFC (points) and the Film Weight.
- Figure 2 is a graph of the relationship between the Total Fluorine concentration and the Film Weight.
- Figure 3 is a graph of the relationship between the Fluoride Ion concentration and the Film Weight.
- the present invention was developed based in the discovery that with respect to a process for acidic conversion treatment of alumininferous metal, the process can be improved by monitoring the EFC in a fluorine- containing, acidic conversion treatment bath having pH ⁇ 4 by potentiometrically titrating samples of the bath, without prior pH adjustment, using a fluorine ion electrode as indicator electrode and using as titrant an aqueous solution containing at least one of aluminum ion, lanthanum ion, yttrium ion, zirconium ion, gallium ion, cerium ion, or beryllium ion and measuring the quantity of titrant addition up to the infliction point on the potential curve for the fluorine ion electrode and adding a fluorine- containing chemical to the bath when the EFC falls below a specified range.
- the EFC is maintained in the range of from about 0.70 to about 7.5 (pt) , preferably in the range of about
- the conversion treatment bath used in the practice of the invention can be a phosphate conversion treatment bath or chromate treatment bath.
- the method is effective for all bath composition which contain fluoride known to be useful for conversion treatment of aluminum and aluminum alloys.
- the bath compositions are not particularly restricted.
- Operative conversion treatment baths are, for example, the phosphate conversion treatment bath disclosed in Japanese Patent Publication Hei 3-38343 38,343/1991) by the present applicant and the chromate treatment bath disclosed in Japanese Patent Publication Sho 63-66906 (66,906/1988) by the present applicant.
- the particular conversion treatment is operated while maintaining the EFC value determined by the measurement method described hereinafter (points of effective fluorine concentration EFC value) within a predetermined range.
- the EFC value is preliminarily determined as a function of the type of conversion treatment, bath composition, metal being treated, temperature and other parameters known to those skilled in the art.
- the EFC value (points) exceeds the upper limit of the predetermined range, metal etching by fluoride becomes excessive and the resulting conversion film is heavier than required.
- the EFC value (points) falls below the lower limit of the predetermined range, etching of the metal by the fluoride is inadequate and an adequate conversion coating is not formed.
- a characteristic feature of the present invention is the maintenance of the EFC value in a desired range in the conversion treatment bath, by the addition of a fluorine- containing composition such as, for example, fluoroboric acid, fluoroborate, hydrofluoric acid, sodium fluoride, sodium fluorosilicate and fluorosilicic acid.
- a fluorine- containing composition such as, for example, fluoroboric acid, fluoroborate, hydrofluoric acid, sodium fluoride, sodium fluorosilicate and fluorosilicic acid.
- the parameters ordinarily measured and controlled during conversion treatment processes such as the pH, total acidity, redox potential, and the like, must still be measured, and controlled at the same time as the EFC value is measured and controlled.
- Methods for measuring the parameters of a conversion treatment bath are known, and, for example, are described in Japanese Patent Publication Number Hei 3-59989 (59,989/1991).
- the method for measuring the EFC value is as follows:
- a known quantity (A, mL) of the acidic conversion treatment bath is taken as the sample.
- the sample can be diluted.
- the sample (a known quantity of acidic conversion treatment bath) may be optionally diluted with a liquid that does not form compounds with fluorine, such as pure water, ethanol and the like.
- a fluoride ion electrode is brought into contact with the treatment bath.
- the fluoride ion electrode useful in the practice of the invention must show a variation in emf as a function of the fluoride ion concentration in the treatment bath. Since the method of the invention does not require measurement of the fluoride ion concentration, calibration of the fluorine ion electrode with a fluoride ion reference solutions is not required.
- the sample of the acidic conversion treatment bath is then titrated using as titrant an aqueous solution that contains aluminum ion, lanthanum ion, yttrium ion, zirconium ion, gallium ion, cerium ion, or beryllium ion (B, mol/L) .
- the relationship between the quantity of titrant and the electromotive force (emf) of the fluorine ion electrode is plotted as a titration curve, and the quantity of titrant up to the inflection point on the titration curve is determined (C, mL) .
- the titration curve denotes a graphical plot on the two coordinate axes of the electromotive force (E,mV) of the fluoride ion electrode and the quantity of titrant addition (V,mL) .
- the inflection point on the titration curve is the point at which the value of dE/dV (differential value for the electromotive force) determined from the graph passes through a relative maximum.
- the values of A and B in this measurement procedure are not specifically restricted, although of course they will have optimal ranges. 6.
- the EFC value (points) is calculated using Equation 1. Equation 1
- EFC 400 x B x C/A
- the value of C is then equivalent to the EFC value (points of effective fluorine concentration) .
- the water-soluble metal salts used as the titrant comprise, for example, the nitrates, sulfates, chlorides, or other water soluble salts of the specified metals.
- concentration of the water-soluble salt may be adjusted as necessary as a function of the sample size and fluorine concentration in the sample, but is preferably approximately 0.01 to 0.1 mol/L in the case of acidic conversion treatment baths such as zinc phosphate conversion treatment baths, chromate treatment baths, and the like. At below 0.01 mol/L, the potential of the fluoride ion electrode undergoes only a slow variation with respect to the amount of titrant added.
- the electrode potential varies so sharply that it becomes difficult to determine the inflection point in the titration curve.
- the treatment bath sample is optimally approximately 10 to 100 mL in order to be convenient for automatic titration.
- the fluorine component in acidic conversion treatment baths makes a major contribution to the etching of the metal workpiece being treated.
- the fluorine component has a substantial effect on the conversion treatment process.
- the conversion activity is not determined simply by the total fluorine concentration in the treatment bath, but depends on the bath's EFC value, i.e., on the concentration of fluorine that is active with respect to the metal workpiece being treated.
- measurement must be carried out without altering the pH of the treatment bath because the
- the present invention measures the EFC value at the treatment bath pH by using a sample of the treatment bath itself as the sample solution. Moreover, the present invention employs measurement by a titration technique in order to counter electrode deterioration.
- a fluoride ion electrode is first brought into contact with a sample of the treatment bath.
- An aqueous solution that contains a known concentration of aluminum ion, lanthanum ion, yttrium ion, zirconium ion, gallium ion, cerium ion, or beryllium ion is then dripped into the sample of treatment bath.
- Each of these metal salts forms a complex with the fluoride ion in the treatment bath, and the fluoride ion concentration in the treatment bath therefore declines in proportion to the amount of metal ion in the titrant.
- the fluoride ion concentration is not directly calculated from the electrode's electromotive force; rather, the fluoride ion concentration, which declines during the course of titration, is measured by examining only the change in electrode emf.
- This serves to avoid the problems associated with the decline in electrode emf that is caused by electrode deterioration, during long-term service.
- the use of the inflection point in the titration curve, as the titration end point makes it possible to determine the titration end point by a simple procedure and to determine the EFC value (points) which closely correlates with the conversion performance of an acidic conversion treatment bath.
- Stable conversion treatment performance can be provided by managing the bath components so as to maintain the EFC value (points) by the aforementioned method within a prescribed range.
- the EFC value Points of Effective Fluorine Concentration
- the fluoride ion concentration was determined by the measurement methods described below, on 4 zinc phosphate conversion treatment baths (PB-L3020 from Nihon Parkerizing Company, Limited) that were differentiated by their different fluorine containing component.
- Table 1 reports the fluorine component systems in the zinc phosphate conversion treatment baths.
- Table 2 reports the measurement results for the fluorine concentrations of the treatment baths (immediately after the beginning of measurement and at 100 measurements at the rate of one measurement a day) and the measurement results for the film weight on an aluminum alloy plate (JIS-5052) treated at the time the EFC value measurement was made.
- a fluoride ion electrode (model 7200-0.65W from DKK) was calibrated with the fluoride ion reference solutions.
- step 3 Only step 3) was executed for the second and subsequent measurements Method For Measuring The Total Fluorine Concentration
- the quantity of titrant for complete consumption of the fluorine component was determined from the potentiometric titration curve for the fluoride ion electrode.
- the total fluorine concentration was calculated using a consumption of 3 ol fluorine per 1 mol aluminum.
- Table 2 illustrates that the film weight provided on the aluminum alloy plate, varied as a function of the fluorine component in the zinc phosphate conversion treatment bath (acidic conversion treatment bath) .
- the EFC value measured according to the present invention provides a measurement which closely correlates with the conversion activity of the treatment bath independently of the source of fluorine.
- the method of the invention is a general method and is useful for monitoring the conversion treating activity of any of the conversion treating baths, the activity of which relies on the presence of an active form of fluorine.
- the method of the invention measures the effective fluorine species in the bath and therefore closely correlates with the conversion activity of the bath. The close correlation can be readily seen from the graph of Figure 1.
- the EFC value exhibits a correlation coefficient with the film weight of > 0.99 for both X and Y. Not only does this parameter exhibit a good correlation, but it also exhibits good reproducitility since the X and Y plots are very similar.
- measurement of the Total Fluoride Concentration while exhibiting reproducibility, has a correlation coefficient ⁇ 0.20 for both X and Y, which indicates a poor correlation with film weight.
- measurement of the Fluoride Ion concentration has a correlation coefficient of > 0.95 for both X and Y; however, this method suffers from problems with measurement reproductibility since the Fluoride Ion Concentration values of the X and Y plots are widely separated.
- a zinc phosphate conversion treatment as outlined below, was run on aluminum sheet (70 x 150 x 6 -8 mm) .
- the bath was managed so as to yield film weights of 0.5 to 1.5 g/m 2 by using a range of 1.9 to 2.5 for the EFC valued (points).
- the conversion treatment was carried out as follows:
- Prepalene-ZN titanium colloid surface conditioner from Nihon Parkerizing Company, Limited room temperature, 20 seconds, spray (4) Zinc phosphate conversion treatment 43 ⁇ C, 120 seconds, immersion bath com osition
- This method gave a film weight within the forementioned range over the course of the conversion treatment of 100 sheets at the rate of 1 aluminum sheet per treatment.
- the conversion treatment method according to the present invention is a superior method for the accurate, highly reproducible measurement of the fluorine concentration that effectively participates in the conversion reactions in acidic conversion treatment baths (effective fluorine concentration) .
