Definitions
- the present invention relates to the pre-treatment of steel articles, and zinc and zinc alloy surfaces such as galvanised steel, prior to application of one or more paint layers.
- Galvanised steels with organic coatings, such as paint, are of major commercial importance in a number of applications.
- a steel substrate 1 provides the strength required of the product, and is generally coated with metallic layers 2a and 2b of zinc or zinc alloy on either side.
- the metallic coating is then covered by pre-treatment layers 3a and 3b, an organic primer layer 4a and 4b containing corrosion inhibiting pigments, and a topcoat 5a and 5b which can be either a second organic paint layer or a laminate film. This is shown schematically in fig 1 .
- Organic paints do not adhere to a metallic substrate sufficiently well to meet the demands of the various applications, which require a product that can be formed into a variety of shapes, with no loss of adhesion to the coatings or reduction in the corrosion resistance. Therefore, before the organic coatings are applied, the metal substrate is generally treated with adhesion promoters to improve the bonding of subsequent coatings, and the corrosion resistance of the finished product.
- the pre-treatment systems presently in use are effective at providing adhesion and corrosion resistance, and typically involve the use of phosphates, chromates, or mixed metal oxides to bond to the metal substrate. These coatings are then usually exposed to an acidic chromate solution, which forms a second pre-treatment layer.
- the present invention is the result of the inventors' efforts to find an alternative pre-treatment process which does not rely on the above environmentally sensitive compounds.
- the phosphonate group of chemicals have been identified as having potential for use as pre-treatments in this context.
- This group has the advantage that the molecules can be designed so that they have the ability to form chemical bonds with both the metal 2, and with the organic coating 4. This is shown schematically in fig. 2, where a single layer 3 has been shown for simplicity.
- the actual coating may be several molecular layers in thickness.
- Phosphonates have been used previously within the water treatment industry, such as in the oil and gas fields, where a large amount of brine is produced and hence control of scale and corrosion is required.
- Research on phosphonates and their complexes in aqueous media using electrochemical and gravimetric methods has been carried out to show that these inhibitors slowed down both the cathodic and anodic reactions on low carbon steel.
- US-A-4,777,091 proposes the treatment of steel or galvanised steel with aminophosphonic acid compounds prior to coating with adhesive compositions.
- US-A-4,308,079 discloses a phosphonate- based pre-treatment for aluminium surfaces. It states that the phosphonate acts as a hydration inhibitor for the aluminium oxide layer, ie preventing conversion to aluminium hydroxide, and therefore allows a good mechanical key to form between the irregular anodised oxide surface and the paint layer.
- WO 93/20258 a method of treating a nonferrous metal substrate such as aluminium with an activating agent such as HF followed by treating with an organophosphate or organophosphonate is suggested. It recommends that this treatment provides for improved adhesion and flexibility as well as resistance to humidity, salt spray corrosion and detergents of subsequently applied coatings.
- Nitowski et al Proc. Adhesion Soc, 1 995 Feb p24-26 claimed that the oxide formed was covered with a layer of the reaction product of VPA and AI 2 O 3 . They postulated that the organic part of the VPA prevents the dissolution of the AI 2 O 3 and the layer formed is hydration resistant due to the formation of the hydrolytically stable A1 -OOP bonds. The vinyl group is then available for chemical reaction with the coating. This chemical reaction is not possible with a non-reactive group such as phenylphosphonic acid, which was not as successful.
- the present invention primarily relates to the complex formable in solution by immersion of a metallic species in a solution of the compound R- PO(OH) 2 where R includes an organic group, and also to the use of that complex as a coating agent.
- the metal can be in the native form or as a salt.
- the present invention further relates to a solution of the above- defined complex, preferably in the substantial absence of solid metal.
- This solution can be used as a pre-treatment bath for steel items without causing an initial weight loss that the present invention shows to be associated with phosphonic acid treatments.
- the present invention further relates to a method of coating a steel article, comprising the steps of; (i) providing a solution of the compound R-PO(OH) 2 where R includes an organic group ; (ii) contacting the solution with a metal species or a salt thereof other than the steel article thereby to form a solution of a metal-phosphonate complex; (iii) optionally, removing the metal, if any remains;
- a suitable metallic coating at step (iv) is a zinc coating, for example as provided by a galvanising process.
- the present invention also proposes the use of the compound R- PO(OH) 2 where R includes an organic group but not an amino group, or a metallic complex thereof, as a surface treatment for a steel article prior to application of a paint or other organic layer thereto.
- the present invention envisages the production of an article comprising a steel substrate on which is formed, successively, an optional metallic layer such as a zinc or zinc alloy galvanising layer, an intermediate layer, and one or more paint layers, wherein the intermediate layer is formed by immersion of the steel substrate with optional zinc layer in a solution of the compound R-PO(OH) 2 , or a metallic complex thereof, where R includes an organic group to which the paint layer(s) can bind.
- an optional metallic layer such as a zinc or zinc alloy galvanising layer
- an intermediate layer is formed by immersion of the steel substrate with optional zinc layer in a solution of the compound R-PO(OH) 2 , or a metallic complex thereof, where R includes an organic group to which the paint layer(s) can bind.
- the bonding between the R group and the paint layer is by way of a chemical bond.
- the present invention relates to a method of finishing a steel item comprising the steps of;
- the metal cations when provided, can be present through the formation of a complex with the compound.
- the compound is present in a solution.
- This solution can be applied to the said steel item by at least substantial immersion, by spraying, or by roller coating, or any combination thereof.
- a suitable metallic coating can be provided by a galvanising operation.
- the process can be accelerated by applying a suitable current density or voltage to the article.
- the R group includes at least one epoxy group, or at least one hydroxy group, or at least one unsaturated hydrocarbon group, or at least one amide group, or at least one carboxylic group, or a combination thereof.
- Suitable unsaturated hydrocarbon groups include alkenes, vinyl groups, or acrylate groups.
- Other preferred forms are those in which the R group includes an aliphatic chain with which the paint layer can form an interlocking network. In this case, the R group becomes strongly associated with the paint layer but not directly chemically bonded.
- Such chains should be at least C 4 long preferably larger than C 8 and more preferably larger than C, 2 .
- Such chains may be substituted, for example with epoxy, vinyl, hydroxy or other groups, or may contain one or more unsaturated regions.
- Another preferred from for the R group is one in which amino groups are not present.
- Such preferred forms are those in which the solution of the said compound or complex includes an accelerator compound.
- an accelerator compound Preferably, the latter is present in a catalytic amount.
- Suitable such compounds include peroxides, nitrates, nitrites, chlorates and organic nitro-compounds.
- the present invention also relates to an apparatus suitable for treating steel articles by use of the above complex or solution.
- Figure 1 is a schematic view showing the structure of a typical organic coated steel product
- Figure 2 is a schematic illustration of the phosphonic acid molecule to which the present invention relates;
- Figures 3 to 23 are graphs and SEM micrographs showing the result of investigations into suitable phosphonic acid-based compounds.
- the present invention results from work carried out to investigate the effect of phosphonic acids on a zinc substrate, and to establish their potential as pre-treatments for organic coated steels.
- the first set of phosphonic acids conform to two groups of chemicals, which are similar, but with one carbon difference in the backbone of the molecule.
- the first pair are 2-carboxyethylphosphonic acid (2-CEPA) and phosphonoacetic acid (PAA), which are capable of forming bonds with zinc at both ends of the molecule, either by the carboxylic acid group, or by the phosphonic acid group.
- the second pair are 1 ,3-propylbisphosphonic acid ( 1 ,3-PBPA) , and 1 ,2-ethylbisphosphonic acid ( 1 ,2-EBPA), which are also capable of bonding at either end of the molecule to zinc, by the phosphonic acid groups.
- the structures are:
- the second set of phosphonic acids studied were vinylphosphonic acid (VPA) , nitrilotris(methylene)triphosphonic acid (NMTP) and phenylphosphonic acid (PPA) .
- the zinc foil used was purchased from Goodfellows; thickness, 0.5mm, purity, 99.95 + %, with a typical analysis of (ppm) : Ca 1 , Cd 20, Cu 1 5, Fe1 0, In 1 0, Mg ⁇ 1 , Ni 1 , Pb 1 00, Si 2, Sn 8.
- 2-Carboxyethylphosphonic acid (2-CEPA), phosphonoacetic acid (PAA), vinylphosphonic acid (VPA), nitrilotris (methylene) triphosphonic acid (NMTP) and phenylphosphonic acid (PPA)
- PAA phosphonoacetic acid
- VPA vinylphosphonic acid
- NMTP nitrilotris (methylene) triphosphonic acid
- PPA phenylphosphonic acid
- the peak moves upfield for the first hour, but there is less movement in the second hour, and after four hours there is a slight shift back downfieid.
- Figure 8 shows SEM micrographs of the zinc surface after varying time in solution.
- the surfaces showed increased pitting with time spent in solution for the first hour, and flat rectangular platelet type crystals, growing away from the surface, were observed after one hour.
- the surface coverage by these crystals increased with time, but even after 8 hours, there appeared to be some small areas of the zinc surface visible.
- the weight changes of the pieces of zinc foil in solutions of 1 ,3-PBPA, fig. 1 2, are similar to those for PPA, with weight loss occurring over several hours, but then little or no weight gain. Phosphorus was detected on the surface after 2 hours, however, a visible surface coating fig. 1 3 was only seen after 4 hours.
- the crystal growth was the same as that for PAA, a flat coating with a 'crazy paving' appearance possibly due to damage caused by the electron beam, with spherical growths randomly positioned.
- the weight changes with time for the pieces of zinc foil in solutions of the above four phosphonic acids are shown for comparison in figs. 1 6 and 1 7. All show an initially similar rate of weight loss which reaches a maximum and then levels off.
- the pieces of zinc foil in solutions of 2-CEPA and 1 ,2-EBPA then start to increase in weight after two hours. This weight gain also reaches a maximum and then levels off, with 1 ,2-EBPA showing the biggest increase in weight.
- the pH changes for the solutions of 2-CEPA and PAA were very similar, as they both increased to around pH 4 after three hours.
- Figure 1 6 includes details of the weight changes observed for zinc foil in a VPA solution. Weight loss was observed for the first 5 hours, followed by a period of weight gain.
- Figure 1 7 includes details of the weight changes observed for zinc foil in NTMP solution. An initial weight loss was observed over the first hour, which then ceased. No further increase or decrease in weight was then detected.
- Figure 1 6 includes details of the weight changes observed for zinc foil in PPA solution. A slight initial weight loss was detected over the first 2 hours but was reversed over the subsequent 3 hours.
- the first process that occurs with all of the phosphonic acids involves a reaction with the zinc to form a soluble complex. The process continues until a certain level of this complex in solution is achieved, as shown in figs. 7, 9, 1 2 and 14.
- the formation of a coating on the surface of the zinc substrate can occur concurrently with the removal of zinc from the substrate as was seen for the zinc pieces in solutions of 2-CEPA. A few crystals were observed on the surface after one hour, fig. 8, whilst weight loss continues for another hour. The bulk of the coating formation, however, only occurs after a certain level of zinc in solution has been reached.
- the phosphonic acids 2-CEPA and PAA both have a phosphonic acid group at one end of the molecule, and a carboxylic acid group at the other, but 2-CEPA has three carbons in the backbone of the molecule, and PAA has only two.
- the phosphonic acids 1 ,2-EBPA and 1 ,3- PBPA have two phosphonic acid groups at either end of the moiecule, and there is also a difference of one carbon in the backbone. All four phosphonic acids therefore have groups capable of forming chemical bonds to zinc at either end of the molecule.
- Zn[Zn(0 3 PCH 2 CH 2 CO 2 ) 2 .3H 2 O] was prepared from zinc chloride, and was structurally characterised. This study found that the structure contains one set of zinc atoms four co-ordinated by oxygen atoms of the phosphonate groups and another set five co-ordinated by oxygen atoms of the carboxyl groups and lattice water molecules. If the movement of the phosphorus peaks in solutions of PAA was due to chelate formation then this would be likely to produce a different type of coating, and may account for the differences.
- the structure of the coating deposited can be split up into two types.
- the first type is composed of flat rectangular plate-like crystals, which seem to grow away from the surface of the zinc substrate.
- the second type of coating formed consists of a uniform continuous coverage of the substrate.
- the phosphonic acids can be broadly grouped into these two types as follows:
- the present invention also envisages the inclusion of accelerator or catalyst compounds. Such compounds may be able to ensure completion of the reaction quickly enough to allow the invention to be used as part of a continuous process.
- a suitable compound is a peroxide, which need only be present in catalytic amounts,
- peroxides and other accelerators can be shown to increase coating weight.
- HDG a steel substrate coated with a layer of zinc by immersion of the steel in molten zinc, giving a surface composed almost entirely of zinc
- IZ produced by the same process as HDG, however, after coating with zinc, the material is passed through a furnace. The result is that iron diffuses through the entire coating so that the surface is composed of about 90% zinc, 10% iron,
- GA also produced by a hot-dip coating process during which the steel substrate is coated with an alloy containing 95% zinc and 5% aluminium.
- metal-phosphonate complex made possible by the above would be applied as part of a continuous process.
- apparatus comprising, in order, a galvanising station, a dip or spray station to apply the complex or solution thereof, and a paint application station.
