Definitions
- the present invention relates to a basket type anode used for electrolytic plating of a steel strip.
- a box-shaped basket type anode In the electrolytic plating in which the surface of the steel strip is continuously plated, a box-shaped basket type anode is widely used.
- the front surface facing the steel strip in the plating bath is constituted by a mesh member (lass) and accommodates the plating raw material grains.
- the plating raw material grains in the basket type anode are electrolyzed and ionized, and the metal ions are guided to the surface of the steel strip to form plating.
- the main body and the net-like member of the basket type anode are made of pure Ti (pure titanium) because corrosion resistance is required.
- the mesh member If the mesh member is severely damaged, the possibility of leakage of plating raw material grains from the basket type anode increases. If the plating raw material grains leak out, the amount of the plating raw material grains in the basket type anode rapidly decreases, and the amount of metal ions in the plating bath varies. Moreover, the plating raw material grains leaking into the plating bath may be caught in a roller that conveys the steel strip. Such a situation causes a deterioration in the quality of the plated steel sheet.

- the inventors of the present invention have studied the cause of the net member made of pure titanium corroding and causing the breakage of the mesh member in the operation of electroplating for supplying a large current to the main part of the basket type anode, and the improvement measures.
- the examination was performed by taking electrolytic Ni plating, which is a typical example of electrolytic plating, as an example.

- FIG. 1 is a front view of a basket type anode.
- FIG. 2 is a longitudinal sectional view along the vertical direction of the basket type anode.
- white arrows indicate the flow of current supplied to the main body of the basket type anode.
- the basket type anode 1 is immersed in a plating bath 11, accommodates the plating raw material grains 10 in the plating bath 11, and is used for electrolytic plating on the steel strip 12.
- the basket-type anode 1 has a box shape with an open upper surface, and includes an anode main body 2 and a mesh member 3 constituting the front surface.
- the net member 3 is disposed in the plating bath 11 so as to face the steel strip 12.
- Plating raw material grains 10 are filled in the internal space of the basket type anode 1.
- the anode body 2 includes a back plate 2a, a pair of side plates 2b and 2c on the left and right sides, and a bottom plate 2d.
- a bus bar 2e for supplying current to the anode main body 2 is provided on the upper portion of the back plate 2a.
- the mesh member 3 is attached to the front surface side of the anode main body 2 having such a configuration. Specifically, a plurality of support columns 4 protrude forward from the back plate 2a.
- the mesh member 3 is addressed to the front end of each column 4, and the pressing plate 5 is addressed to the mesh member 3 at the position of each column 4.
- the holding plate 5 is fastened to each column 4 by bolts 6. As a result, the mesh member 3 is held on the front side of the anode main body 2 in a state of being sandwiched between each support column 4 and the pressing plate 5.
- the net-like member 3 is configured by overlapping two metal nets 3a and 3b.
- the front side of the cloth bag 7 is sandwiched between the metal meshes 3a and 3b.
- the bag 7 allows the metal ions of the plating raw material grains 10 electrolyzed during electrolytic plating to pass through, while preventing the plating raw material grains 10 that have been reduced by electrolysis from leaking out from the mesh of the mesh member 3.
- the technique described in Patent Document 2 may be applied to the wire nets 3a and 3b here. That is, the metal nets 3a and 3b may have an Al 2 O 3 insulating film formed on the surface thereof, and the insulating film may be sealed with a PTFE film.
- the mesh member 3 is usually attached to the anode body 2 by being divided into a plurality of stages in the vertical direction.

- the plating raw material grains 10 in the basket type anode 1 are electrolyzed and ionized, and the metal ions are guided to the surface of the steel strip 12 to form plating.
- the breakage of the mesh member is likely to occur at the top of the mesh member. This is considered to be due to a decrease in the pH of the plating bath, particularly at the upper part of the mesh member, as shown below.
- the Watt bath when a Watt bath is employed in electrolytic Ni plating, the Watt bath contains boric acid for pH buffering. Even in this case, when the O 2 gas according to the above formula (1) is generated in the plating bath on the upper part of the mesh member, the pH of the plating bath is largely lowered.
- the cause of the damage due to corrosion at the upper part of the mesh member is that the pH of the plating bath has reached the region where Ti depassivation occurs.
- the upper limit of pH at which Ti depassivation occurs is about 1.
- the present inventors have made extensive studies on countermeasures that can prevent corrosion of the mesh member even when the pH of the plating bath is greatly reduced. As a result, the present inventors have found that it is effective to improve the chemical components of the net member itself based on Ti to obtain a Ti net member containing a platinum group element.
- the platinum group element electrodeposited on the surface of the mesh member is a metal having a low hydrogen overvoltage, and reduces the hydrogen overvoltage. For this reason, the mesh member has a noble Ti corrosion potential and the surface is repassivated. This repassivation can terminate the dissolution of Ti.

網状部材の寿命を向上できること。
図1は、バスケット型アノードの正面図である。図2は、バスケット型アノードの鉛直方向に沿った縦断面図である。なお、図2中、白抜き矢印はバスケット型アノードの本体部に供給された電流の流れを示す。
従来のバスケット型アノードでは、網状部材の素材は、前記特許文献2に記載の技術を採用する場合を含め、純Ti製であった。この従来のバスケット型アノードを用い、アノード本体部に大電流を供給する電解Niめっきの操業において、網状部材の破損(穴開き)の発生状況を調査した。その結果、下記の知見を得た。
2H2O→O2+4H++4e- …(1)
上記の対応策の妥当性を検証するため、下記の基礎試験を行った。基礎試験では、めっき浴としてワット浴を採用した電解めっきにおいて、バスケット型アノードの本体部からめっき浴に直接電流が流れる状況を模擬した。その際、陰極(カソード)をめっき対象の鋼帯に見立て、陽極をバスケット型アノードの本体部に見立て、試験片をバスケット型アノードの網状部材に見立て、その試験片の耐食性を調査した。
(1)比較材1:純Ti
厚みが1mmの純Ti(JIS規格の2種)の板材を準備した。
厚みが1mmの純Ti(JIS規格の2種)の板材を入手し、この純Ti製の板材の表面にアルミナ溶射処理を施した。具体的には、Arプラズマ溶射法を適用し、プラズマ溶射ガンで生じるプラズマジェットを用いて溶射材料のアルミナ(株式会社 三幸商会製:グレーアルミナ Al2O3-2.5%TiO2)を加熱・加速することにより、アルミナを溶融状態又はそれに近い状態にして純Ti製の板材の表面に吹き付け、絶縁皮膜を形成した。この絶縁皮膜には気孔が存在しているため、更にPTFE皮膜により絶縁皮膜を封口処理した。
(a)原材料
原材料として、工業用純Tiスポンジ(JIS規格の1種)、純度99.9%のPd(パラジウム)粉末(キシダ化学株式会社製)、純度99.9%のRu(ルテニウム)粉末(キシダ化学株式会社製)、純度99.9%の削状のY(イットリウム)(キシダ化学株式会社製)、塊状の希土類元素、及び純度99.8%の塊状の電解Co(コバルト)を入手した。塊状の希土類元素は、Mm(ミッシュメタル:混合希土類)、La(ランタン)、Nd(ネオジム)とし、Mm以外は純度が99%のものを使用した。Mmの化学成分は、質量%で、La:28.6%、Ce(セリウム):48.8%、Pr(プラセオジム):6.4%、及びNd:16.2%であった。
アルゴン雰囲気のアーク溶解炉を使用し、上記原材料の混合割合を種々変更して化学成分の異なる角形インゴットを作製した。各角形インゴットのサイズは、厚み15mm、幅75mm、及び長さ95mmとした。ここで、各角形インゴットを作製する際、各々で、先ず1個あたり80gのインゴットを5個作製し、次いでそれらのインゴットを全て合わせて再溶解し、厚み15mmの角形インゴットを作製し、その後にその角形インゴットを均質化のために再溶解し、上記サイズの角形インゴットを作製した。
・雰囲気:真空(<10-3torr(0.133Pa))
・加熱温度:1100℃
・加熱時間:24時間
・β相域熱間圧延:加熱温度を1000℃とし、厚み15mmを9mmに圧延
・α+β相域熱間圧延:加熱温度を875℃とし、厚み9mmを1mmに圧延
・雰囲気:真空(<10-3torr(0.133Pa))
・加熱温度:680℃
・加熱時間:7時間
(1)試験方法
図3は、耐食性調査の基礎試験に用いた試験装置の模式図である。基礎試験に用いた試験装置は、めっき液(めっき浴)を収容しためっき浴槽20を備える。このめっき浴槽20は恒温浴槽21内に浸漬されており、めっき浴槽20内のめっき液の温度を一定に維持することが可能である。
各試験片に対する試験それぞれについて、めっき液のpHを評価した。具体的には、24時間の通電後、pH測定器(ホリバ製pHメータD-70シリーズ/ES-71/OM-71)によってめっき液のpHを測定した。
24時間あたりの腐食厚み=腐食減量/(比重×表面積) …(2)
腐食速度=24時間あたりの腐食厚み×365日 …(3)
下記の表2に結果を示す。
本実施形態によるバスケット型アノードは、網状部材が白金族元素を含有する。この網状部材は、更にNi及び希土類元素のうちの1種以上を含有してもよい。網状部材が白金族元素を含有していれば、網状部材の腐食を防止することができ、網状部材の寿命を向上できる。
試験では、5種類の網状部材(厳密には金網)を準備した。本発明例の網状部材には、下記の表3に示すとおり、化学成分の異なる3種類の試験材21、22及び23を適用した。比較例の網状部材には、素材の化学成分は同じであるが表面形態の異なる2種類の比較材1及び2を適用した。
3か月間の連続操業後、各バスケット型アノードの最上段の網状部材について、腐食及び溶損の状況を調査した。この調査では、連続操業後の最上段の網状部材について、全面にわたり溶損の有無を目視で確認した。
