Definitions

  • the present invention relates to methods and apparatus for surface treatment of metal surfaces and more particularly to surface treatment which enhances adhesion and prevents blistering of organic coatings applied thereto.
  • Applicant's U.S. Patent 4,448,475 recommends the provision of a direct anodic electrical connection to the metal surface to be treated and the placement of anodes in the treatment solution. It indicates the possibility of treatment also without such electrical connections.
  • the present invention seeks to provide a highly efficient and cost effective technique for surface treatment of metals.
  • This treatment may be applied advantageously to any metal surface for enhancing the adhesion of coating thereon and may be applied simultaneously with other treatments, when suitable.
  • a method for anodic surface treatment of metal surfaces comprising the steps of providing a treatment container containing a treatment solution comprising one or more of the following substances: tap water, dilute nitrate'salts, dilute hydrochloric acid, dilute nitrite salts, dilute sulfuric acid, stannous and stannic salts and dilute nitric acid, positioning at least first and second electrodes in the treatment container, applying AC electrical current across the electrodes and causing a metal element to be located in the treatment container during application of the AC electrical current across the electrodes.
  • apparatus for surface treatment of metal surfaces comprising a treatment container containing a treatment solution comprising one or more of the following substances: tap water, dilute nitrate salts, dilute hydrochloric acid, dilute nitrite salts, dilute sulfuric acid, stannous and stannic salts and dilute nitric acid, at least first and second electrodes disposed in the treatment container, means for applying AC electrical current across the electrodes and means for causing a metal element to be located in the treatment container during application of the AC electrical current across the electrodes.
  • the metal element comprises a web of metal, such as rolled plate steel, tinned or untinned, and there are provided electrodes adjacent both sides of the web to provide treatment of both metal surfaces.
  • the AC electrical current is provided at line voltage or higher and at a frequency of the mains, e.g. 60 Hz.
  • the treatment solution can be a tin plating solution such as a tin salt solution such a sodium stannate Na Sn0 .
  • a tin salt solution such as sodium stannate Na Sn0 .
  • the surface treatment may occur simultaneously with a tin coating step.
  • the metal element may be maintained uncoupled to a fixed source of electrical potential and thus "floating".
  • non-conductive rollers may be employed for feeding and guiding coil of metal to be treated.
  • a method for anodic surface treatment of metal surfaces comprising the steps of providing a treatment container containing a treatment solution comprising one or more of the following substances: tap water, dilute nitrate salts, dilute hydrochloric acid, dilute nitrite salts, dilute sulfuric acid, stannous and stannic salts and dilute nitric acid, positioning at least first and second electrodes in the treatment container applying DC electrical current across the electrodes at a voltage in excess of Volts, and causing a metal element to be located in the treatment container during application of the AC electrical current across the electrodes.
  • Fig. 1 illustrates apparatus for surface treatment constructed and operative in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the invention.
  • a strip of sheet metal 10 such as a tinplate or uncoated steel, disposed in a bath 12 containing a treatment solution 14.
  • the sheet metal is typically left "floating", not being coupled to a source of electrical potential and thus may be guided by ordinary non-conductive rollers 16, which may be formed of rubber or of any other suitable material.
  • the electrodes are normally distributed so as to lie adjacent both surfaces of the sheet metal 10, so as to provide treatment of both of these surfaces.
  • AC current is applied across one or both pairs of electrodes A,B and C,D.
  • DC current is used. If for example the C electrode is coupled to a positive voltage and the D electrode is coupled to a negative voltage, the metal surface facing the D electrode, i.e. the negative electrode, receives the surface treatment.
  • electrical current of 5 - 150 Amps at a voltage of 12 - 500 Volts and a frequency of 60 - 440 Hz is supplied by a suitable power supply 20 or directly from the mains across the electrodes.
  • the metal sheet may be fed through the bath at a typical speed of 600 meters per minute so as to have a typical dwell time of 0.05 - 0.5 seconds.
  • Example II Under the same conditions as in Example I, a treatment solution of 1:2 stannate industrial tinning solution was employed, providing efficient surface treatment.
