Description
Corrosion Resistance Passivation Formulation and Process of Preparation thereof
Field of the invention The present invention relates to a chemical composition and process of preparation thereof. More particularly, the present invention relates to a corrosion resistance passivation formulation for conferring high corrosion resistance to metals and their alloys. Background of the invention
Conventionally, to improve the corrosion resistance, the surfaces of the components made from zinc, zinc alloy, aluminium, cadmium, cadmium alloy and the like are treated with chromium containing formulations. A variety of corrosion resistance passivation formulations are available in the public domain with varying degree of success. Specifically, US Patent No.7314671 describes chromium (Vl)-free conversion layer and method for producing it. Another US Patent No.6375726 describes corrosion resistance coatings for aluminium and aluminium alloys. Similarly, US Patent.4384902 discloses trivalent chromium passivate composition and process.
Typically, corrosion resisting formulations contain chromium in its hexavalent form. However, environmental concerns and subsequent legislative action in the form of directives such as European Union's vehicle end of life directive led to efforts to find suitable alternatives for hexavalent chromium. As a result of these efforts, hexavalent chromium formulations have now been largely replaced by trivalent chromium-based formulations. However, though this technology has matured over the last few years, it is always desired by the end users to improve the performance of passivation films in terms of higher corrosion resistance as measured by the neutral salt spray life. Specifically, for zinc electrodeposits, applying a further coat of organic, inorganic or hybrid polymer formulation is a widely prevalent practice.
Such polymer formulations are referred as Sealers, Fixers or Topcoats in the industrial practice. However, such topcoats are not applied for passivation films on aluminium, magnesium and their alloys.
Another US Published Application No. 2010/0203327 describes corrosion resistant trivalent chromium conversion coating and formulation where silica particles are incorporated in the formulation. However, in their case the use of silica reduces the corrosion resistance from 300 hours to 240 hours.
Deficiencies of the Prior Art
• Trivalent chromium-based passivation or conversion coating formulations when used without a further topcoat do not consistently show high corrosion resistance as measured by neutral salt spray test.
• The use of a topcoat on trivalent chromium passivation gives better corrosion resistance. However, the coating thickness may be as high as 2 microns which may not be suitable for low tolerance components. This is particularly true in the case where the topcoat is based on purely organic materials such as epoxy, acrylic, and polyurethane among others.
• Moreover such sealants have not been developed for passivation films on aluminium, magnesium or their alloys.

Another object of the present invention is to provide chromium based passivation film that incorporates ceramic particles in the passivation film. Yet another object of the present invention is to provide a process of application of passivation film on zinc and zinc alloys.

Detailed description of the invention
The foregoing objects of the invention are accomplished and the problems and shortcomings associated with the prior art techniques and approaches are overcome by the present invention as described below in the preferred embodiment. The present invention provides a passivation formulation and a process for forming trivalent chromium-based passivation film on zinc and zinc alloys. The passivation film incorporates nano-ceramic particles resulting in higher corrosion resistance as compared to a trivalent chromium passivation film without nano-sized ceramic particles. The corrosion resistance of the coating is further enhanced by a topcoat or a sealant
The trivalent chromate passivation formulation (hereinafter "the formulation") in accordance with the present invention is an aqueous formulation which comprises trivalent chromium ions in a range of 0.01 to 0.22 moles. Preferably, the trivalent chromium ions are used above 0.05 moles. Further the formulation includes organic acid in the range of 0 to 0.022 moles; . Preferably, the organic acid is used above 0.005 moles. Furthermore, the formulation includes transition metal ion in a range of 0 to 0.02 moles . Preferably, the transition metal used above 0.01 moles. The formulation includes boric acid in a range of 0 to 0.02 moles. Preferably, the boric acid is used above 0.01 moles. Further, the formulation includes fluoride ions in a range of 0 to 0.1 moles. Preferably, the fluoride ions are used above 0.02 moles. Furthermore, the formulation includes ceramic nano-particles in a range of 0.08 to 0.4 moles. Preferably, the ceramic nano-particles are used above 0.08 to 0.4 moles. Water is used to dilute the passivation formulation to 1000 ml.
The trivalent chromium ions are selected from chromium salts such as chromium chloride (CrCl3), chromium nitrate Cr(N03)3, and chromium sulphate Cr2(S04)3 Specifically, higher concentration of chromium in the formulation results in a thicker film and thus increases corrosion resistance of the film. Further, the organic acids are selected from a group consisting of Ethanedioic acid, Butanedioic Acid, 2-3-dihydroxy butanedioic acid, Propanedioic acid, 3-carboxy-3- hydroxy penatanedioic acid and the like. Specifically, the organic acids are used to complex the chromium ion. More specifically, higher chromium ion concentration in the formulation requires a higher organic acid concentration as well.
Furthermore, the transition metal salts are used in the form of chlorides, sulphates, or nitrates of Manganese (Mn), Nickel (Ni), Cobalt (Co), Vanadium (V) and Iron (Fe). The transition metals salts are known to play a role in accelerating the chromate film formation. A higher transition metal salt concentration results in a faster chromate film formation and thereby reducing the time required for passivation. Moreover, fluoride is any one fluoride selected from sodium fluoride, potassium fluoride, ammonium fluoride, ammonium bifluoride, fluorosalicylic acid, fluorozirconic acid and the like. The fluorides play a role in improving the finish of the passivated film. A higher fluoride concentration gives a brighter and polished finish.
Also, nano-particles of ceramic materials are selected from nanoparticles of silicon dioxide (Si02), aluminium oxide (A1203), Zirconium oxide (Zr02), titanium dioxide (Ti02), either alone or in combination or in the form of mixed oxide. Specifically, the ceramic particles have particle size in the range of 5 nm to 30 nm preferably smaller than 15 nm, and surface area above 50 g cm"3 and preferably above 200 g cm"3, which are stable and do not coagulate or gel in acidic as well as alkaline pH conditions on their own or during operation in the presence of other elements in the passivation formulation.
Referring now to figure 1, there is shown a flowchart for a process (100) of preparation of passivation of zinc/zinc alloy using the passivation formulation -described above. The process (100) includes plating a zinc/zinc alloy. The plated zinc/zinc alloy is then rinsed with water. Thereafter, the rinsed zinc/zinc alloy is treated with nitric acid for 10-20 seconds. Specifically, the concentration of the nitric acid is in the range of 0.2 to 1 % and preferably 0.5 %." The treated zinc/zinc alloy is again rinsed with water. The passivation formulation at pH 2.2 to 3.0 is applied to the rinsed zinc/zinc alloy at temperatures ranging from 25° to 40° C for about 30-90 seconds. The passivated zinc/zinc alloy is then rinsed with water and treated with a top coat/sealer for about 30-90 seconds and dried thereafter. The dried zinc/zinc alloy is baked at 80° -120° C for 15-20 minutes to obtain a corrosion resistant zinc/zinc alloy surface.
The passivation formulation of the present invention act on the zinc coatings between pH 2.2 to 3.0 when contacted for 30 to 90 seconds at low temperatures ranging from 25° to 40° C to form a chromate conversion coating that incorporates the ceramic particles and thereby offers a superior corrosion resistance. At higher temperatures of 60° to 80° C, it is preferred to keep the pH at the higher end of the range mentioned above and the contact time can be reduced to as low as 5 to 10 seconds for an effective passivation film formation to take place. Specifically, the process conditions are suitable for treating hot dip galvanized surfaces. The corrosion resistance of the passivation film thus formed provides corrosion resistance of the order of 300 Hrs in salt spray compared to 240Hrs of salt spray provided by prior art method. Further, the corrosion resistance is further improved by using a topcoat or a sealant based on either organosilane or epoxy or acrylic polymers.
Further, the salt spray life obtained on components that are plated from a chloride bath in a barrel consistently exceed 168 hours (5% white rust). The components that are vat plated from alkaline bath offer a corrosion resistance of more than 216 hours for 5% white rust consistently. Furthermore, application of a top coat followed by oven baking results in a salt spray life in excess of 264 hours for the components
that are plated with the chloride bath. The corresponding figure for vat plated articles from an alkaline bath is 416 hours.
Specifically, for passivation on aluminium and aluminium alloys, the ceramic nanoparticles are added to commercially available aluminium passivation formulations from the market. A salt spray life of 600 hours was obtained as against 300 hours without addition of ceramic nanoparticles. Similar results were envisaged for magnesium and its alloys.
Example 1
A passivation bath containing 0.04 M Cr3+ ions, 0.05 M ethanedioic acid, 0.06 M F- ions and 0.05 M Si02 nanoparticles (average particle size 10 nm) was prepared. Steel test panels were subjected to an alkaline, non-cyanide electroplating vat process to deposit a zinc plating (average thickness of 8 microns) thereon after which they are thoroughly water rinsed followed by activation in 0.5 % nitric acid for 15 s. The panels were further rinsed with water and then dipped in the passivation bath prepared as above. The temperature was maintained at 35° C and pH of 2.6. The panels were then rinsed in water and dried and oven baked at 100° C for 15 minutes. The panels were then subjected to a salt spray test as per ASTM Bl 17. White rust was first observed after 120 hours. On steel panels passivated in a bath without Si02 nanoparticles white rust was first observed after 72 hours.
Similarly, steel fastener bolts (size M10 x 35) were subjected to an acid electroplating barrel process to deposit a zinc plating (thickness on the head was 8 microns) thereon, after which they are thoroughly water rinsed followed by activation in 0.5 % nitric acid for 15 s. The panels were further rinsed with water and then dipped in the passivation bath prepared as above. The temperature was maintained at 35° C and pH of 2.6. The panels were then rinsed in water and dried and oven baked at 100° C for 15 minutes. The panels were then subjected to a salt spray test as per ASTM Bl 17. White rust was first observed after 96 hours. On steel panels passivated in a bath without Si02 nanoparticles white rust was first observed after 48 hours.
Example 2
A passivation bath containing 0.09 M Cr3+ ions, 0.05 M propanedioic acid, 0.01 M cobalt nitrate and 0.1 M Si02 nanoparticles (average particle size 12 nm), was prepared. Steel test panels were subjected to an alkaline, non-cyanide electroplating vat process to deposit a zinc plating (average thickness of 8 microns) thereon after which they are thoroughly water rinsed followed by activation in 0.5 % nitric acid for 15 s. The panels were further rinsed with water and then dipped in the passivation bath prepared as above. The temperature was maintained at 30° C and pH of 2.7. The panels were then rinsed in water and dried and oven baked at 100° C for 15 minutes. The panels were then subjected to a salt spray test as per ASTM B117. White rust was first observed after 216 hours. On steel panels passivated in a bath without Si02 nanoparticles white rust was first observed after 120 hours.
Similarly steel fastener bolts (size M10 x 35) were subjected to an acid electroplating barrel process to deposit a zinc plating (thickness on the head was 8 microns) thereon after which they are thoroughly water rinsed followed by activation in 0.5 % nitric acid for 15 s. The panels were further rinsed with water and then dipped in the passivation bath prepared as above. The temperature was maintained at 35 0 C and pH of 2.7. The fasteners were then rinsed in water and dried and oven baked at 100ο C for 15 minutes. The panels were then subjected to a salt spray test as per ASTM Bl 17. White rust was first observed after 168 hours. On steel panels passivated in a bath without Si02 nanoparticles white rust was first observed after 96 hours. Example 3
A passivation bath was prepared by mixing 0.01 M Si02 nanoparticles (average particle size of 10 nm) with AL-28 passivation from Shree Rasayani. An aluminium panel was degreased with Kelco cleaner (Shree Rasayani) followed by a thorough rinsing, then activated by dipping in 50 % nitric acid for 1 minute followed by a further water rinsing. The aluminium panel was dipped in the passivation bath for 4 minutes maintained at 40 0 C and a pH of 4. The panels were then rinsed in
water and dried and oven baked at 100ο C for 15 minutes. The panels were then subjected to a salt spray test as per ASTM Bl 17. White rust was not observed even after 600 hours. On panels passivated in a bath without Si02 nanoparticles white rust was first observed after 288 hours. Advantages of the present invention
1. The passivation formulation of the present invention is stable over the wide operating range of pH, temperature and Chromium (III) concentration as well as dissolved metals like zinc and aluminum.
2. The total thickness of the coating (including ceramic particle incorporated chromate passivation and a topcoat) is less than 1 micron. Thus, the coating is also suitable for low tolerance components.
