Definitions
- This invention relates to compositions and processes for desmutting metal surfaces, particularly the surfaces of aluminum and magnesium and their alloys that contain at least 45 % by weight of aluminum or magnesium, more particularly aluminum alloys containing sufficient copper to form smut on their surfaces easily when dissolving.
- the compositions and processes are also useful for deoxidizing unsmutted surfaces and achieve deoxidizing without forming smut on the surfaces or otherwise staining them.
- Deoxidizing is to be understood herein as the removal from the surface of metals of oxide films and other adherent inorganic materials that would reduce adhesion to subse ⁇ quently desired protective coatings such as conversion coatings and/or paints and the like.
- deoxidizing agents With most deoxidizing agents, there is a perceptible but controlled dissolution of the underlying metal while the deoxidizing agent is in contact with it.
- deoxidizing agent With most deoxidizing agents, there is a perceptible but controlled dissolution of the underlying metal while the deoxidizing agent is in contact with it.
- de ⁇ smutting is to be understood herein as the removal, without significant attack on the underlying metal, of powdery and usually darkly colored, residues produced on a treated metal surface by some prior cleaning, etching, and/or deoxidizing treatment.
- percent, "parts of, and ratio values are by weight; the description of a group or class of materials as suitable or preferred for a given purpose in connection with the invention implies that mixtures of any two or more of the members of the group or class are equally suitable or preferred; description of constituents in chemical terms refers to the constituents at the time of addition to any combination specified in the description, and does not necessarily preclude chemical interactions among the constituents of a mixture once mixed; speci- fication of materials in ionic form implies the presence of sufficient counterions to produce electrical neutrality for the composition as a whole; and any counterions thus implicitly specified should preferably be selected from among other constituents explicit ⁇ ly specified in ionic form, to the extent possible; otherwise such counterions may be freely selected, except for avoiding counterions that act adversely to the stated objects of the invention. Also, the term "gram mole” is applied to ionic as well as molecular constituents.
- molybdate and persulfate ions have a favorable synergistic effect in nitric acid based desmutting compositions, permitting the elimination of both chromates and ferricyanides while producing excellent results in desmutting aluminum and magnesium and their alloys, including copper containing alloys.
- the same compositions can be used if desired as deoxidizers for metal surfaces that have oxide films that are unwanted, and accomplish deoxidizing effectively without forming smut on the deoxidized surfaces or otherwise staining the surfaces, if not allowed to dry on the surface before rinsing.
- one embodiment of the invention is an aqueous composition that comprises, preferably consists essentially of, or more preferably consists of, water and:
- compositions for direct use in treating metals concentrates from which such working compositions can be pre ⁇ pared by dilution with water, processes for treating metals with a composition according to the invention, and extended processes including additional steps that are conventional perse, such as rinsing, and, particularly advantageously, subsequent conversion coating and/or painting or some similar overcoating process that puts into place an organic binder containing protective coating over the metal surface treated according to a narrower embodiment of the invention.
- Articles of manufacture including surfaces treated according to a process of the invention are also within the scope of the invention.
- compositions according to the inven ⁇ tion as defined above should be substantially free from many ingredients used in com ⁇ positions for similar purposes in the prior art.
- these compositions when directly contacted with metal in a process according to this invention, contain no more than 1.0, 0.35, 0.10, 0.08, 0.04, 0.02, 0.01, 0.001, or 0.0002, percent of each of the following constituents: hexavalent chromium; silica; silicates that do not contain at least four atoms of fluorine per atom of silicon; ferricyanide; fer- rocyanide; thiourea; pyrazole compounds; sugars; gluconic acid and its salts; glycerine; ⁇ -glucoheptanoic acid and its salts; and myoinositol phosphate esters and salts thereof.
- a process according to the invention that includes other steps than the desmutting/deoxidizing treatment with a composition as described above, when avoidance of environmental pollution is an overriding consideration, it is preferred that none of these other steps include contacting the surfaces with any composition that contains more than, with increasing preference in the order given, 1.0, 0.35, 0.10, 0.08, 0.04, 0.02, 0.01, 0.003, 0.001, or 0.0002 % of hexavalent chromium.
- the desmutting/deoxidizing process taught herein can be advantageously used prior to chromate conversion coating or anodizing in a chromate containing solution, where one of the latter treatments is needed.
- the concentration of component (A) as described above is preferably at least 1 gram mole per liter of composition ("M"), more preferably is at least 2.0 , or still more preferably is at least 3.7 M.
- M gram mole per liter of composition
- the concentration of component (A), with increasing preference in the order given is not greater than 6.8, 5.9, or 5.4, M.

- any surfactant that is effective to lower the surface tension and solubilize any organic contaminants present on the surface to be treated could be used in principle, but many kinds of surfactants are unstable in the highly oxidizing acidic composition.
- Another valuable function served by preferred surfactants is that of preventing spotty drying of the treated surfaces during the delays which can occur in practice between the time when treated metal surfaces are removed from contact with a desmutting/deoxidizing composition according to this invention and the time when the surfaces are rinsed.
- compositions preferably present in the working compositions in a concentration within the range from, with increasing preference in the order given, 0.01 to 10, 0.1 to 5, 0.25 to 4, 0.55 to 3.0, 0.75 to 2.5, 0.85 to 2.0, 0.85 to 1.5, 0.90 to 1.5, 0.85 to 1.2, or 0.90 to 1.10, grams per liter ("g/L") of the composition.
- the surfactant component is composed of equal amounts of each of two ethoxylated tetramethyl decynediols, one with a hydrophile-lipophile balance (“HLB”) in the range from 7 to 9 and the other with an HLB in the range from 11.5 to 14.5.
- HLB hydrophile-lipophile balance
- Component (H) is not believed to serve any technical purpose in the composition, but it is often valued as a safety precaution to workers to indicate the presence of strong acids by a prominent color such as red.
- An amount of dye or other colorant sufficient to be readily recognized by workers, without being so large as to impose a significant economic cost or adversely impact the intended technical functions of the composition, can be readily chosen by those skilled in the art.
- a working composition ac ⁇ cording to the invention preferably has, with increasing preference in the order given, at least 15, 18, 20, 21, 22, or 23 "points" of free acid, such points being defined for this pur ⁇ pose as equal to the number of milliliters ("mL") of 1.0 N strong alkali (such as sodium hydroxide) required to titrate a 5.0 mL sample of the composition, diluted with at least about 10 mL of deionized water containing a large excess of potassium fluoride to pre ⁇ vent precipitation of any heavy metal hydroxides during titration, to an end point with phenolphthalein indicator.
- mL milliliters
- N strong alkali such as sodium hydroxide
- a working composition preferably has, with increasing preference in the order given, no more than 35, 32, 29, 27, 26, or 25 points of free acid.
- a working composition according to the invention preferably has an oxidation-reduction (“redox”) potential, measured by comparing the potential of a platinum electrode immersed in the composition against a standard satur ⁇ ated calomel electrode immersed in the same composition, within the range of, with in ⁇ creasing preference in the order given, from 800 to 1100, from 900 to 1050, from 950 to 1035, from 975 to 1029, from 985 to 1020, from 991 to 1011, or from 996 to 1006, milli- volts (hereinafter sometimes abbreviated "mv”) more oxidizing than the standard elec ⁇ trode.
- redox oxidation-reduction
- a working composition according to the invention may be applied to a metal sur- face to be treated by any convenient method, several of which will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art. Immersion is the simplest and is believed most often used. However, spraying, roll coating, and the like could also be used.
- the temperature during contact and time of contact between the composition ac- cording to the invention and the metal to be treated thereby may be varied within wide limits to achieve the desired effects, which can often be determined by visual inspection of the metal surface, after rinsing if necessary.
- the temperature normally is preferably within the range from 15 to 35, more preferably from 17 to 30, or still more preferably from 20 to 26, ° C
- the time of contact normally is preferably within the range from 0.5 to 30, more preferably from 2 to 20, or still more preferably from 5 to 10, minutes.
- the treated surfaces are normally rinsed with water before any subsequent treatment.
- the rinsing preferab ⁇ ly is completed as soon as practical after removing the treated surfaces from contact with the desmutting/deoxidizing composition, and if at all practicable should at least be rinsed before the desmutting/deoxidizing composition has dried into place on any part of the surface. After rinsing the surfaces often are also dried. Rinsing, drying, and any sub ⁇ sequent treatments are generally those known er se in the art.
- the invention is particularly advantageously adapted to the treatment of alumin- urn alloys 7150, 7075, 2024, 2324, and 6061; also to any aluminum or magnesium alloy surfaces that have been heavily shot peened or otherwise mechanically worked, and/or have been chemically milled or heavily chemically etched with alkaline compositions, before treatment according to the invention.
- the concentrate preferably does not contain the per ⁇ sulfate component, which has been observed to unstable in long term storage when mixed with the other components.
- the nitric acid and surfactants are preferably supplied separately.
- a preferred concentrate according to the invention therefore contains only water and the sulfate, ferric ion, fluoride, and molybdate components.
- a preferred working composition contains: (A) 4.04 ⁇ HNO 3 (provided by commercial concentrated nitric acid of 42° Baume);
- the total concentration of ferric ions in this composition is 0.26 M, because there are two ferric ions in each mole of ferric sulfate salt; the total concentration of fluoride ions is 0.112 M, because there are two fluorine atoms in each mole of ammonium bifluoride, and the total concentration of sulfate ions is 0.74 M, including 0.39 M supplied by the ferric sulfate along with the 0.35 M supplied by the sulfuric acid.
- This composition had a redox potential of 1001 mv and 24 free acid points.
- Panels of Type 7150 aluminum each panel containing at least one hole in order to make a more critical evaluation of the staining and/or smutting tendency, which is usually more pronounced in recesses and holes in parts being treated under practical conditions, were pre-etched to produce a reproducible oxidized and smutted surface by immersion for 7 to 10 minutes ("min") at a temperature within the range from 29.4 to 32.2 ° C in an alkaline etching solution consisting of water and 120 - 150 g/L of sodium hydroxide, 11 - 26 g/L of sodium sulfide, 30 - 60 g/L of triethanol amine, and 18 - 50 g/L of dissolved aluminum.
- min alkaline etching solution consisting of water and 120 - 150 g/L of sodium hydroxide, 11 - 26 g/L of sodium sulfide, 30 - 60 g/L of triethanol amine, and 18 - 50 g/L of dissolved aluminum.
