Definitions
- the invention relates to a process for phosphating metal surfaces, in particular iron and steel, with aqueous, acidic phosphating solutions which, in addition to zinc and phosphate ions, contain an accelerator combination of alkali metal bromate and m-nitrobenzenesulfonate.
- the new process is particularly suitable as a pretreatment of the metal surfaces for a subsequent cathodic electrocoating.
- Chlorate serves as an accelerator for these phosphating baths, optionally in combination with nitrite or nitrate.
- the thin and uniform phosphate coatings obtained in this way are particularly suitable as the basis for a subsequent electrocoating.
- such low-zinc phosphating processes are much more sensitive to changes in the process parameters due to the accelerators mentioned. This means that although high-quality phosphate layers result with fresh phosphating solutions, the corrosion protection deteriorates due to the irregularity of phosphate layers after the throughput of a large amount of metal surfaces, and in some cases no more useful protective layers are formed.
- DE-PS 1072055 describes a method for increasing the layer weight in the production of phosphate coatings. This increase in layer weight is achieved by adding a chelating agent, in particular based on polycarboxy-a-amino acids, to the phosphating solutions based on zinc phosphate.
- a chelating agent in particular based on polycarboxy-a-amino acids
- nitrate, nitrite and chlorate, bromate or nitrobenzenesulfonate can also be used as accelerators.
- this is not a so-called “low zinc process”.
- the process described in DE-PS 10 96152 also uses zinc phosphating solutions which have the conventional ratios of zinc to phosphate. These phosphating solutions additionally contain a certain amount of calcium and an oxidizing agent as an accelerator, bromate or m-nitrobenzenesulfonate being mentioned, among others. This process, which operates at relatively high temperatures, results in phosphating layers with layer weights in the range from 102 to 117 mg / dm 2 .
- DE-OS 2418 118 also describes a process for the preparation of phosphate coatings on iron and steel in which phosphating solutions based on alkali metal and / or ammonium orthophosphate are used. These phosphating baths additionally contain short-chain alkanolamines, nonionic wetting agents and an accelerating agent, bromate or m-nitrobenzenesulfonate being also mentioned, among others. However, this does not result in zinc phosphate layers on the metal surfaces.
- a major disadvantage of the conventional phosphating processes based on zinc phosphate or alkali metal phosphate discussed above - in comparison to the low-zinc phosphating process mentioned at the outset - is the fact that the phosphate layers formed here for subsequent cathodic electrocoating are less - due to the different chemical layer structure are suitable.
- thicker phosphate layers usually result, ie with a " higher layer weight, with relatively high bath temperatures being used.
- the present invention is based on the object of providing a phosphating process based on zinc phosphate solutions which ensures the formation of high-quality zinc phosphate layers which - with a low layer weight - are distinguished by a comparatively high iron content and are therefore particularly suitable for subsequent cathodic electrocoating .
- the temperatures of the phosphating baths used should be relatively low and these phosphating baths should remain “stable” even with a higher throughput on metal surfaces, ie. H. Ensure phosphate layers of consistent quality.
- the invention accordingly relates to a process for phosphating metal surfaces, in particular iron and steel, as pretreatment for a subsequent cathodic electrodeposition coating, by treating them with aqueous acid phosphating solutions which, in addition to zinc and phosphate ions, contain an alkali metal bromate as accelerator.
- the comparatively low bath temperature which is in the range from 35 to 40 ° C., preferably from 38 to 40 ° C.
- Another important point is the - compared to the known low-zinc processes - the relatively high content of free acid. This necessitates a stronger pickling reaction of the phosphating solutions on the metal surfaces to be treated, at the same time an increased incorporation of iron into the phosphate layer that forms and thus an improved layer formation overall.
- the phosphate layers formed in the process according to the invention have layer weights in the range from 1 to 1.65 g / m 2 .
- the advantages achieved with the method according to the invention also include significantly reduced sludge formation in the phosphating bath and increased stability thereof. This is to be understood to mean that even with a greater throughput of metal surfaces in the phosphating bath, the quality of the layers formed does not suffer any losses.
- the phosphating solutions used in the process according to the invention have a free acid score in the range from 0.5 to 1, preferably from 0.6 to 0.8.
- the total acid score is in the range from 18 to 25, preferably from 20 to 22.
- the free acid content is determined according to the score and the total acid score is determined according to the methods known here - cf. for example, “The Phosphating of Metals •, Leuze Verlag / Saulgau, 1974, pages 274 to 277:
- the free acid score corresponds to the consumption of ml n / 10 NaOH in the titration of 10 ml bath solution until the change in the first H 3 P0 4 stage (indicator methyl orange or bromophenol blue).
- the total acid score corresponds to the consumption of ml n / 10 NaOh when titrating 10 ml bath solution against phenolphthalein as an indicator.
- a combination of an alkali metal bromate and an m-nitrobenzenesulfonate is used as the accelerator, the amounts to be used and the weight ratio of bromate to m-nitrobenzenesulfonate to be within the limits given above.
- Alkali metal bromates which are suitable for this purpose are the sodium or potassium salts, preferably the sodium bromate.
- the sodium salt is preferably used as the m-nitrobenzenesulfonate.
- the content of zinc in the phosphating solutions according to the invention should be in the range of the above-mentioned limits; likewise the weight ratio of phosphate to zinc and the weight ratios of zinc or phosphate to bromate.
- metal cations can also be used in the process according to the invention. These are nickel or cobalt or manganese ions, with an additional content of nickel ions in the phosphating bath being preferred.
- concentration ranges of these metal cations to be used are:
- the phosphating solutions according to the invention can also contain 2 or 3 of these additional ion types, the total amount of these additional metal cations, however, not exceeding a total of 1.5 g / l.
- the method according to the invention is particularly suitable for phosphating metal surfaces made of iron and steel. However, it can also be used to advantage for phosphating metal surfaces made of zinc, aluminum, galvanized or aluminized steel.
- the phosphating solutions used in the process according to the invention can be prepared by dissolving the individual components in water. However, the phosphating solutions are preferably obtained by diluting concentrates which contain the active components in the same ratio as in the bath solutions. If necessary, is another Addition of alkali metal ions, preferably sodium, is necessary in order to bind the proportion of phosphate which exceeds the free acid content to be set.
- the phosphating solutions can be applied to the metal surfaces in the process according to the invention in a manner known per se, ie. H. by spraying, dipping or in a combined spraying / dipping process.
- the treatment times to be observed here depend on the respective application process: they are approximately 90 to 120 seconds in the spraying process; with the immersion process approx. 180 seconds and with the combined spray / immersion process approx. 20 to 30 seconds for spraying and approx. 150 to 180 seconds for diving.
- the usual, known treatment measures can be taken before and after the actual phosphating step.
- the metal surfaces to be phosphated are previously subjected to a cleaning treatment to remove grease and dirt, for example with the aid of alkaline cleaners. It can also be expedient - but is by no means necessary - to activate the metal surfaces in a manner known per se before the actual phosphating treatment.
- Corresponding activating agents based on titanium phosphate are suitable, for example.
- the metal surfaces are usually rinsed thoroughly with water. Rinsing with water and, if appropriate, aftertreatment with customary passivating agents, for example with chromium (VI) / chromium (III) solutions, also take place after the phosphating.
- the final treatment is then cathodic electrocoating, likewise in a manner known per se.
- the zinc phosphate layers with a high iron content obtained by the process according to the invention are generally suitable for all types of use of phosphate layers known to date, but they have particular advantages for subsequent cathodic electrocoating. Here they show a high resistance of the paint film against paint infiltration under corrosive stress as well as an excellent paint adhesion to the metallic surface.
- the phosphate layers obtained were finely crystalline and closed.
- Table 1 below are for the individual examples in each case the temperature of the phosphating solution, the type and duration - refer to the application layer as well as the weights of the phosphate layer produced.
- Sheets of electrolytically galvanized steel (7.5 ⁇ m thick) and sheets of aluminum (Al 99.5, semi-hard) were treated in the same way.
- the phosphate layers produced on electrolytically galvanized steel showed a slightly increased layer weight.
- the phosphated sheets were then cathodically electrocoated with different paint qualities and dried at elevated temperature.
- the dry film thickness of the paints was approx. 20 ⁇ m in each case.
- the painted sheets were then each provided with a parallel cut and subjected to a salt spray test in accordance with SS DIN 50021. After completion of the spray test, the infiltration of paint was determined and the formation of bubbles (blister) was assessed optically. Tables 2 and 3 below show the results obtained:
