Description
본 발명은 사출 도금물의 부동태 처리 방법에 관한 것으로, 보다 상세하게는 부동태 처리함으로써 내식성 및 내화학성을 향상시키는, 사출 도금물의 부동태 처리 방법에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to a passivation treatment method for an injection-plated product, and more particularly, to a passivation treatment method for an injection-plated product for improving corrosion resistance and chemical resistance by passivation treatment.
크롬 도금의 목적은 외관적으로 심미성을 높여주고, 기능적으로 부동태 피막을 통해 소재를 음극화(Cathode)하여 전기화학적 불활성상태를 만들어 내식성을 높여 주며, 내마모성 또한 높여준다. 이러한 자연 생성된 부동태 피막은 1~3nm 수준으로 아주 얇게 표면층에 존재한다. The purpose of chrome plating is to visually enhance aesthetics, and functionally to cathode the material through a passivation film to create an electrochemically inactive state to increase corrosion resistance and abrasion resistance. This naturally generated passivation film exists on the surface layer as very thin as 1-3 nm.
현재 상용화되어 있는 크롬 도금의 종류는 3가 크롬 도금과 6가 크롬 도금이 있다. 한편, 6가 크롬 이온은 발암 물질로 글로벌적으로 규제가 점차 늘어나고 있고, 그 대안으로써 3가 크롬 도금이 증가하는 추세이다.Types of chromium plating currently commercialized include trivalent chromium plating and hexavalent chromium plating. On the other hand, hexavalent chromium ions are gradually being regulated globally as carcinogens, and trivalent chromium plating is increasing as an alternative.
그러나, 3가 크롬 도금은 6가 크롬에 비해 내식성 및이 내화학성이 현저하게 떨어진다. However, trivalent chromium plating is significantly inferior to hexavalent chromium in corrosion resistance and chemical resistance.
3가 크롬 도금은 높은 전류밀도(Current density)로 도금되므로, 내부 응력에 의한 미세 크랙이 존재할 수 있고, 미세 크랙 틈을 통해 물이나 산소가 하지층인 니켈 도금층과 접하게 된다. 따라서, 니켈 도금층이 양극(Anode)로 존재하는 국부 전지를 형성하여 부식을 촉진하게 된다. Since the trivalent chromium plating is plated at a high current density, microcracks due to internal stress may exist, and water or oxygen comes into contact with the nickel plating layer, which is an underlying layer, through the microcracks. Accordingly, a local battery in which the nickel plating layer serves as an anode is formed to promote corrosion.
또한, 3가 크롬 도금 용액은 전류효율이 나쁘기 때문에 철(Fe)을 전도보조제로 사용하는데, 철 성분으로 도금층에 공석이 되어 부식을 촉진하게 된다.In addition, since the trivalent chromium plating solution has poor current efficiency, iron (Fe) is used as a conduction aid, and the iron component forms vacancies in the plating layer to promote corrosion.
상술한 불량을 방지하기 위해 3가 크롬 도금 후 투명 도장을 하는 경우도 있으나, 도장 비용으로 인한 원가 상승 및 불량율 증가로 금전적으로 많은 손실이 발생한다.In some cases, transparent coating is applied after trivalent chromium plating in order to prevent the above-mentioned defects, but a lot of money loss occurs due to cost increase and defect rate increase due to coating cost.

The additive may serve to prevent trivalent chromium from being oxidized to hexavalent chromium. According to one example of the present invention, the additive may be added in an amount of 0.3 to 0.7ml/L.
또한, 상기 부동태 처리하는 단계에서 사용하는 부동태 액은, 유기염을 포함할 수 있다. 상기 유기염은, 일 예로, 계면활성제를 포함할 수 있다. 상기 유기염은, 표면장력을 낮춤으로써, 부동태 액이 사출물 표면에 균일하게 퍼지도록 하여, 반응속도를 높이는 역할을 수행할 수 있다. 본 발명의 일 예에 따르면, 상기 유기염은 14 내지 16 g/L 첨가될 수 있다.In addition, the passivation liquid used in the passivation treatment step may contain an organic salt. The organic salt may include, for example, a surfactant. The organic salt may play a role of increasing the reaction rate by lowering the surface tension, allowing the passivation liquid to spread uniformly on the surface of the injection-molded product. According to one example of the present invention, the organic salt may be added in an amount of 14 to 16 g/L.
또한, 상기 부동태 처리하는 단계는, pH가 9.3 내지 9.7이고, 온도가 25 내지 35℃인 부동태 액으로 수행될 수 있다. 상기 pH 및 온도 범위는, 생산성을 떨어뜨리지 않는 범위에서 부동태 피막을 두껍게 형성시킬 수 있도록 하는 범위이다.In addition, the passivating step may be performed with a passivation liquid having a pH of 9.3 to 9.7 and a temperature of 25 to 35 °C. The above pH and temperature ranges are ranges in which a thick passivation film can be formed within a range that does not reduce productivity.
또한, 상기 부동태 처리하는 단계는, 210 내지 240초동안 수행할 수 있다. 부동태 처리 수행 시간이 짧을 경우에는, 부동태 피막이 얇게 형성될 수 있다. 그러나, 부동태 처리 수행 시간이 긴 경우에는, 충분한 내식성 및 내화학성을 확보하기 어려울 수 있다.In addition, the passivating step may be performed for 210 to 240 seconds. When the passivation treatment time is short, the passivation film may be formed thinly. However, when the passivation treatment is performed for a long time, it may be difficult to secure sufficient corrosion resistance and chemical resistance.
다음으로, 부동태 처리하는 단계의 전해 조건을 설명한다.Next, electrolysis conditions in the step of passivation treatment will be described.
상기 부동태 처리하는 단계는, PR전류(Pulse Reverse Current)를 사용하여 수행할 수 있다.The passivation process may be performed using Pulse Reverse Current (PR).
일반적으로 금속의 내식성은 금속표면에서 형성된 산화피막이 얼마나 치밀하고 화학적으로 안정되는가에 달려있다. 일반 DC전류와 달리, 상기 PR전류는 고전류와 저전류 사이의 전류 편차가 크지 않으므로, 균일하고 치밀한 부동태 피막을 형성할 수 있도록 하는 역할을 수행할 수 있다.In general, the corrosion resistance of metal depends on how dense and chemically stable the oxide film formed on the metal surface is. Unlike general DC current, the PR current does not have a large current deviation between high current and low current, so it can play a role in forming a uniform and dense passivation film.
또한, 상기 부동태 처리하는 단계는, 사출물을 음극으로 하여, 전류밀도를 0.1 내지 0.4 A/dm2로 인가할 수 있다. 상기 전류밀도 범위는, 생산성 및 부동태 피막 두께를 고려하여 설정할 수 있다.In addition, in the step of passivating, a current density of 0.1 to 0.4 A/dm 2 may be applied using an injection-molded product as a cathode.

According to one example of the present invention, the step of washing the water may be performed by immersing in ion-exchanged water or distilled water at 40 to 60 ° C. for 30 to 90 seconds.
상술한 사출 도금물의 부동태 처리 방법을 통해 생성된 부동태 피막의 두께는 8nm 이상일 수 있다. 일반적으로 자연 생성되는 부동태 피막의 두께는 1 내지 3nm이고, 일반 DC전류를 통해 생성되는 부동태 피막의 두께는 약 3nm이다. 따라서, 본 발명의 일 예에 따른 사출 도금물의 부동태 처리 방법을 통해 균일하고 두꺼운 부동태 피막을 형성시킴으로써, 내식성 및 내화학성을 향상시킬 수 있다.The thickness of the passivation film created through the passivation treatment method of the injection-plated material described above may be 8 nm or more. In general, the thickness of the passivation film that is naturally generated is 1 to 3 nm, and the thickness of the passivation film that is generated through a general DC current is about 3 nm. Therefore, corrosion resistance and chemical resistance can be improved by forming a uniform and thick passivation film through the passivation treatment method of injection molding according to one embodiment of the present invention.
또한, 본 발명의 일 예에 따르면, 내식성 및 내화학성을 향상시키기 위한 추가적인 도장 공정을 수행할 필요가 없으므로, 원가 상승을 억제하고, 불량율을 개선할 수 있다.In addition, according to one embodiment of the present invention, since there is no need to perform an additional painting process for improving corrosion resistance and chemical resistance, cost increase can be suppressed and the defect rate can be improved.

However, as a result of XPS analysis of the thickness of the passivation film that was passivated using the PR current, it was confirmed that the passivation film was formed up to 9.9 nm from the surface of the injection product.
