Definitions

  • the present invention relates to sealing procedures for metal and/or metal alloy substrates whether anodised or not but suitable in any event for anodised magnesium or magnesium alloy surfaces.
  • Anodised films may commonly comprise a porous layer of metal oxide. If the pore structure did not exist, the anodic film could not form to a significant thickness owing to electrical resistance and the barrier to ionic transport posed by the oxide. While the pore structure allows a useful thickness of film to form, it may in some circumstances be a disadvantageous feature, as corrosive species may migrate through the pores to the underlying base metal. Accordingly, it is often desirable to "seal" the pores. Such sealing implies an agent that either physically fills the pores and plugs them or an agent that reacts chemically with the oxide film causing a plug to form capping the pores.
  • Some anodisation processes result in highly irregular pore sizes and shapes as well as a broad distribution in both size and shape.
  • the pores do not usually result from solubility of the magnesium oxide in the electrolyte but from physical factors associated with the formation of the film during electrochemical oxidation.
  • Simple solutions such as immersion of the anodised surface in boiling water or a simple ionic salt do not result in a sealed film.
  • a successful method of sealing anodised magnesium articles requires the introduction of another species to physically plug the pores.
  • Such a species must be inert and resistant to ingress of pitting initiators such as chloride ions, and of course, moisture as the presence of even small amounts of moisture may lead to galvanic corrosion and accelerated attack of the magnesium substrate.
  • the sealing agent must also be firmly bonded to the anodic film, preferably by way of a chemical or strong physical bond and the seal, when applied must be chemically resistant.

  • This process involves the application of a, as an example, polyurethane polymer by way of electrophoresis followed by a cure cycle.

  • the seal coating is preferably applied to a magnesium anodic film by way of the following steps (see also Figure 1 ):

  • the article is commonly (optionally) prepared for subsequent processing by an immersion in a wetting agent.
  • the article is usually conditioned by a rinse in the aqueous phase of the electrophoretic process, which is sometimes a dilute aqueous solution of a glycol ether such as 1 -methoxy propan-2-ol.
  • the article is immersed in an emulsion comprising an aqueous phase and oil phase; the latter containing micelles of a blocked oligomer (ie; blocked polyurethane oligomer if the seal is to be a polyurethane).
  • the oil phase is preferably present to the extent of from 8 to 15% of the emulsion by weight, and contains a solvent which is commonly a longer chain glycol ether, such as hexoxy ethanol.
  • a voltage is applied to the anodised article, during which the charged micelles of resin are drawn towards its surface where they uncurl and deposit, forming a coating. This coating extends into the pores of any anodic films that might be present and throws uniformly over the surface of the part.
  • Such voltage may be either anodic or cathodic depending upon the characteristics of the resin micelles, but as commonly employed, the process is cathodic.
  • the electrophoretic process may involve (and will now be described by reference to) the application of a polyurethane film to the surface of the magnesium or magnesium alloy anodised part.
  • a polyurethane film may be deposited alone or together with other substances, whether these substances be dissolved or dispersed in the polymer micelles. Since other substances may be co-deposited, a variety of surface finishes may be obtained, and solvent based dyes or pigments may be added to the resin to yield a wide range of colours to the finished article.
  • the process is based on emulsion technology in that it comprises a dispersed mixture of two phases, one of which is aqueous while the other is immiscible with water and is based on a solvent, often a glycol ether solution.
  • the non- aqueous phase consists of tiny droplets which are dispersed throughout the aqueous phase.
  • the size of these droplets is critical to the success of the process and is controlled in part by regulating the pH of the emulsion.
  • the aqueous phase of the emulsion also often contains a glycol ether, but one which is miscible in water, such as 1 -methoxy propan-2-ol. This aids in the flow of the resin as it deposits on the surface of the substrate and ensures the layer builds up in an even and satisfactory manner.
  • the resin comprises an oligomer made up of various functional groups including at least one blocked isocyanate.
  • Isocyanate resins polymerise by cross-linking with alcohol groups to form smooth, even polyurethanes which are chemically resistant. These polyurethanes offer a range of favourable surface properties including wear resistance, abrasion resistance. UV absorption and favourable elastic properties.
  • polyurethane coatings are frequently chosen for heavy wear applications as for example on wooden floors where a shiny surface is required over time despite constant wear from use.
  • the blocking of the isocyanate prevents its crosslinking until a raised temperature, such as 137°C, is achieved. This occurs during the curing cycle. Once unblocked, a polyurethane cross-links very quickly.
  • the resin micelles must also carry an electrical charge as otherwise they would not be attracted to the cathode or anode and therefore not deposit on the surface of the substrate. They are given a charge by ensuring that the resin molecules have a number of ionic sites which in the emulsion form a water soluble negative or positive ion. leaving a nett charge of the opposite polarity within the micelle. In part this is a determinant of micelle size.
  • a water soluble organic acid ion is formed. Since this has a negative charge (R-COO ), it leaves behind a positive charge on the oligomer, commonly an amino group (R-NH 3 ⁇ ).
  • Preferred voltage applications include a DC voltage.
  • a voltage range of within 60 to 120 volts would be usual but not mandatory.
  • the resin molecules are oligomers which feature lengthy, hydrophobic chains of hydrophobic hydrocarbons, to which hydrophilic groups, such as sulphonate or amino are attached.
  • a droplet tends to form in which the hydrophobic parts of the molecule face inwards with the hydrophilic groups projecting outwards into the aqueous solution.
  • the droplet becomes electrically charged and due to this charge, it repels other droplets of resin.
  • a balance will be maintained where droplet size is dependent upon emulsion pH and the nature of the ionic sites present on the resin micelle.
  • the cathodic versions of this process will operate under acid conditions and the anodic versions under alkaline conditions.
  • the active, working emulsion is prepared from the base materials by a careful emulsification process.
  • the addition of water to the resin to prepare a suitable emulsion must be done slowly with adequate blending of the resin and water. That this is so stems from the fact that a fine, even dispersion of resin micelles is required and there is a tendency for insoluble organic materials to form large clumps rather than even dispersions.
  • solvents are miscible in each other and the resin is miscible in each, these may be blended with the resin prior to the commencement of the blending process with water.
  • Solvent dyes, or pigments added to produce a coloured film may also be added at this stage and blended with the resin as may other substances as discussed herein. In fact, such materials should be added prior to the addition of any water to ensure even and complete solution or dispersion within the desired phase.
  • a range of solvent-based dyes is soluble in organic solvents and these may be dissolved in the non-aqueous phase to yield a coloured deposited layer.
  • the layer deposited by means of the electrophoretic process is normally transparent, glossy and clear.
  • dye additions it is possible to create any desired colour. Since the dyes are transparent, however, the lightest shade possible is the base colour of the substrate and in cases where the substrate is itself coloured, either naturally or by means of a treatment carried out prior to sealing, an obvious limit on the range of possible colours results.
  • an opaque pigment may be added to the resin and blended with it. In this sense, the resin acts as a carrier for the pigment and deposits an opaque layer on the substrate surface.
  • the desired tone may be obtained by blending pigments. Typically brilliant white shades may be obtained by dispersions of titanium dioxide.
  • Pigments must be chemically unreactive and neutral in electrical charge. They may be blended with the resm before the preparation of an emulsion. Dyes must be blended with the resm p ⁇ or to the addition of any water since these are not soluble in water.
  • the resm provides a smooth, glossy finish While this satisfactory for many applications, a matt appearance may be desired It is possible to disperse species such as finely divided silica or mica into the resm to modify the surface appearance of the resm. Such a species must be chemically unreactive and incapable of lomsation as otherwise its presence would affect the delicate balance bet een the micelle size and the conductivity of the emulsion Such species must be blended with the resin p ⁇ or to their addition to the emulsion as otherwise their dispersion withm the non-aqueous phase of the emulsion becomes impossible
  • Silica may be added to provide a matt finish As the presence of an inert species such as this reduces the number of surface bonding sites a ⁇ ailable to the resm its concentration should not be so high that the strength ot the bond to the substrate is adversely affected. The gloss levels of the coating gradually decrease as more silica is dispersed into the resm
  • Mica may be added to give a metallic appearance similar to that of a metallic pamt This may be used in conjunction with pigments or other colou ⁇ ng agents to yield a va ⁇ ety of metallic pamt colours Again the addition of this species reduces the number of available sites within the resm micelles for surface bonding to the substrate.
  • a range of mate ⁇ als may be dispersed into the resm in this way, to give altered or enhanced surface properties when the resm is cured
  • the substances that are infused m this way may include but are not limited to pigments and inert fillers
  • a requirement of the process is that each candidate for infusion into the resm must be men and not able to promote the cross-linking of lsocyanates.
  • the dispersed species should be relatively close to the density of the resm otherwise there would be a tendency for it to fall out of the emulsion.
  • Metals which are generally subject to attack over time by bath constituents, particularly the mildly acidic cathodic resins, are not normally suitable as dispersed fillers.
  • a filler may be chosen to give the sealed film special properties.
  • the polyurethane film resulting from the normal application of the process is highly insulating. Infusion of electrically conductive carbon black may reduce this and even render the film conductive. Care must be taken to avoid an excess of carbon in the dispersion as this disrupts the ionisation and polarisation of the micelles which is so necessary for deposition on the part to be coated.
  • a problem in infusing such species into the resin micelles is that the stability of the resin is based on a fine balance, both chemically and electrically. Any materials that disrupt this balance may cause micelles to be attracted together, resulting in precipitation of sticky lumps of resin, or alternatively, some agents may even bring about the polymerisation of the resin. In general, the presence of an additional species within the resin micelles requires that continual agitation be employed to ensure the emulsion remains uniform.
  • the curing cycle normally involves heating the resin to a sufficiently high temperature so that the isocyanate radicals attached the polymer chains will unblock. These then cross-link, forming a long chain polyurethane polymer.
  • the process by which the resin is polymerised need not involve the direct application of heat, although in its most common form, it does.
  • Curing may also be achieved by using infra-red.
  • the curing time required depends upon the infra-red flux, the wavelength of the applied infra-red and the nature of the parts to be cured. In cases where the parts are dark in colour or highly reflective of infrared energy, the curing cycles might be quite short owing to surface heating of the resin. Anodised magnesium articles are generally matt in appearance and therefore curing times may be lengthy. A wavelength close to that of visible light is recommended for the most rapid cures, that is, a wavelength from 700 nanometres to 1,200 nanometres.
  • UV exposures within the photo-sensitive range of diazo and photopolymer materials used within the printing and graphic arts trades may be sufficient to unblock some blocking agents and one modification of the resin is designed to operate as a photoresist material, cured by ultraviolet in precisely this manner.
  • the photoresist agent may be employed in conjunction with a film positive which is drawn into close contact with the deposited resin. After an ultraviolet light exposure, the film is removed, leaving uncured resin in areas where the film was opaque. A suitable solvent, leaving no polymer in these places may then remove this, while other areas feature a hard, cured surface of polyurethane.
  • Its application to anodised magnesium substrates is as a method of masking, where it is desired to leave certain regions uncoated. Complex shapes may be masked this way where conventional techniques of masking that require the application of a tape or paint, are simply too labour intensive.
  • Magnesium metal tends to form a surface oxide layer which protects it from fiirther attack. Though this film is not as well defined as the film that protects aluminium, it prevents the metal from dissolving in water despite the favourable electrochemical potential. In aqueous solution, some dissolution of magnesium oxide occurs resulting in the formation of hydroxide ions. The solubility of magnesium hydroxide in water is about 0.1 milligrams per litre, but this is sufficient for magnesium to exhibit an alkaline reaction with water.
  • Anodised magnesium components manifest a surface layer which is predominantly magnesium oxide, or which contains a mixture of ingredients such as magnesium aluminate. It is our belief that a basic reaction with water results from hydrolysis therefore, regardless of the chemistry of the anodising process, the surface of the article is essentially alkaline.
  • the electrophoresis resin Since the electrophoresis resin is extremely dependent upon pH, as this regulates micelle size and ionic charge on the micelle, the surface must normally be made receptive to the resin micelle. Often a deactivation step is required to do this as otherwise the resin will not deposit co ⁇ ectly.
  • a magnesium article for example, when immersed without deactivation in Techniclad" HDXC resin, which is a cathodic electrophoretic resin, will tend to form a thick poorly adherent coating featuring spheres of coagulated resin. This is unusable and represents a failure of the process. If the surface is modified by reaction with a suitable acid, the surface alkalinit ' no longer exists and the resin deposits normally.
  • the acid must form a sparingly soluble or insoluble magnesium salt as otherwise the magnesium compound formed by reaction with the anodic film will wash off and the surface will still be alkaline by hydrolysis.
  • the acid should not substantially dissolve the anodic film during the films exposure to the acid(s).
  • Lactic acid for instance, forms magnesium lactate by surface reaction with either magnesium metal or the anodic film and is suitable, although excessive exposure to the acid will result in stripping of the anodic film from the metal substrate.
  • an acid which produces a soluble magnesium salt for instance, acetic acid
  • acetic acid merely dissolves the anodic film without producing a pH neutral film.
  • the use of acetic acid in an attempt to deactivate the surface is generally prone to failure for this reason. If any magnesium acetate is carried over into the resin bath, it tends to dissolve thereby creating an undesirable increase in the concentration of ions in the bath and as a consequence, the conductivity.
  • Stearic acid n-octyldecanoic acid
  • the acid does not react with either magnesium metal or magnesium oxide and no deactivation results.
  • Tartaric acid is a good combination of an acid that is sufficiently water soluble to react with the magnesium or magnesium oxide anodic film while providing an almost insoluble magnesium salt that then presents a deactivated surface to the resin micelles.
  • a problem inherent in deactivating the surface of the magnesium or anodised magnesium article is that the entire surface of the article must be treated.
  • Anodised magnesium features a highly porous structure and it is necessary for the acid to "wet out” the entire surface. Failure to penetrate recesses will result in unacceptable results from resin agglomeration and "cissing".
  • hydrofluoric acid forms magnesium fluoride, MgF ; , by reaction with either magnesium metal or magnesium oxide.
  • MgF magnesium fluoride
  • the magnesium fluoride is very insoluble in water and forms a stable, strongly adherent species, ideal for subsequent application of a seal. It may be employed to yield a high quality surface finish on either magnesium metal articles or anodised magnesium articles.
  • careful rinsing should be conducted after the immersion in hydrofluoric acid and prior to immersion in the aqueous phase of the electrophoretic process.
  • components comprising two or more different metals are to be coated. These components may feature magnesium or a magnesium alloy connected in some way to an aluminium alloy. Aluminium, while commonly anodised in sulphuric acid solutions, may be anodised in electrolytes used in some magnesium anodisation processes. The film is different in character to that normally obtained from sulphuric acid anodisation. Aluminium may be sealed using an electrophoretic process as described herein.
  • An anodised aluminium component may also be sealed by such means.
  • An article comprising a magnesium part bonded to an aluminium part may be anodised through the same process then sealed.
  • the anodic film covering the aluminium part is different in thickness to that covering the magnesium article.
  • Beryllium a metal used largely in military applications, may also be anodised using certain magnesium techniques (eg; our proprietary anodisation process) and then sealed using this technology.
  • Beryllium though the first member of Group II of the periodic table (in which magnesium also falls), exhibits much behaviour in common with aluminium (which is in Group III). As such, it exhibits amphoteric behaviour and it tends towards considerable covalency in its chemical compounds.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un procédé de scellement, par polymérisation, d'une surface anodisée ou non anodisée (en métal pur ou en alliage) renfermant au moins l'un des métaux suivants : magnésium, béryllium, titane, zirconium, hafnium, zinc et aluminium. Le procédé consiste à effectuer un traitement préliminaire par le biais d'un agent de désactivation (par exemple, acide fluorhydrique dans certains cas) pour rendre la surface à sceller sensiblement dépourvue de matériaux ionisables, puis à traiter par électrophorèse la surface désactivée au moyen d'une supension de résine pour établir un revêtement qui est ensuite polymérisé. Le procédé s'applique en particulier au magnésium et aux alliages à magnésium ainsi qu'aux structures à base de ce métal et de ses alliages renfermant par exemple de l'aluminium ou des alliages d'aluminium.
