Definitions
- zinc respectively aluminium zinc or zinc alloys respectively aluminium or aluminium alloys
- the residence time without current is at least 5 seconds and preferably between 15-90 seconds
- a satisfactory deposit quality can be only be obtained by using relatively low current densities, i e the current per surface area to be coated and is therefore limited to an inconveniently low deposition rate
- the maximum plating rate is not claimed explicitly but appears to correspond to a current density of 5 A/dm 2 which would correspond to about 0,6 ⁇ m/ minute at a typical current efficiency of 50%, which is typical for this type of process
- the electroplating is performed in a bath at a temperature of at least 20°C, with a cathodic current density of at least 5A/dm 2 so as to achieve an adherent smooth zinc deposit at a rate of at least 1 ⁇ m per minute
- a polymeric amine is used for example poly ethylene imine having a molecular weight at greater than 500, most preferably greater than 800
- the deposition rate is preferably at least 1 ⁇ m per minute corresponding to approximately 3,5 g/m 2 per 30 seconds
- Zinc deposit rates are dependent on a number of parameters, such as concentration of soluble zinc in the plating bath, current density, temperature, agitation, depletion of the solution, nature of the additives etc. All these parameters must be maintained on such a level that the deposition rate is maintained above 1 ⁇ m per minute in order to have the required speed of deposit for continuous processing lines and consistent with acceptable appearance.
- alkali metal hydroxides may be used according to the invention, but preferred are sodium and/ or potassium hydroxides. It was found that with these hydroxides excellent results could be obtained with respect to surface finishing while maintaining a high deposit speed. Moreover these hydroxides are readily available commodities at reasonable market prices.
- the zinc concentration, especially the concentration of soluble zinc has an important influence on the zinc deposition rate on the surface to be coated. It was found that doubling the zinc concentration may result in a more then double the coating thickness while maintaining the coating time and current density at the same level.
- the concentration of soluble zinc in the plating bath should preferably be at least 15 g / I, more preferably 20 g / I and even higher concentrations above 25 g / 1 or 30 g / 1 may be used.
- the aluminium surface should be free of harmful amounts of oil, grease, etc. and of thick oxide / hydroxide or similar films on introduction into the plating solution. They can be removed by known cleaners accelerated by agitation, spray etc. Cleaners containing alkali hydroxides e.g. sodium hydroxide are preferred as those can dissolve oxides etc. Silicates are usually avoided as they reduce attack on the oxides / hydroxides etc. It is not necessary to pre-treat in a zinc-containing solution, as disclosed in the cited prior art.
- Silicates tend to passivate aluminium, even after rinsing, thereby reducing adhesion of the subsequent electrodeposit or even the effect of conventional "zincate" pre-treatments, according to the prior art.
- the term "satisfactory deposit quality” means a zinc deposit that :
- a bath was prepared containing :
- Example A was repeated, but heliotropine replaced with polyethylene imine G35 (BASF) 6 g/l.
- BASF polyethylene imine G35
- Example 2 was repeated but with current 5 amps and temperature 45°C.
- Example A The plating conditions of Example A was maintained but with a current of 5 amps and a temperature of 45°C.
- Example B was repeated, but heliotropine replaced with polyethylene imine G35 (BASF) 6 g / l .
- BASF polyethylene imine G35
- the example 3 was repeated, but with the G35 replaced with poly quaternary amino additives.
- Example 4 was repeated, but with the following reaction product additive: N- I N- J N 1 , N 1 tetramethyl - 1 ,6-diamine hexane 15 g
- Example 4 was repeated, but with the G35 replaced :
- polyamino compounds allow higher plating rates at satisfactory quality than heliotropine. They also generally have a wider range of current density consistent with satisfactory quality than heliotropine. It is also well known that benzaldehyde derivatives, such as heliotropine tend to chemical instability, particularly at higher sodium hydroxide concentrations and higher temperatures, when they undergo the
- polyquaternary amines are more "active" than additives which are uncharged, or have only a low density of quaternary groups, for example the G35 polyethylene imine which is thought to have a low density of quaternary functionality compared to the polymers of examples 4 - 9, which are thought to have a much higher positive charge density.
- deposition rates can be futher enhanced by increasing concentration of both alkali metal hydroxide and zinc in solution.
- Additions of soluble silicates to the electrolyte have a small but significant effect in improving brightness in combination with other additives under conditions of increased current density.
- Actual rates of deposition for satisfactory quality for a given electrolyte at a fixed temperature are critically dependent upon agitation, more specifically, the rate of mass transfer at the cathode.
