Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft ein alkalisches wässriges Bad zur galvanischen Abscheidung von Zink-Eisen-Legierungen enthaltend als wesentliche Bestandteile ein Zinkat und eine Eisenverbindung.The invention relates to an alkaline aqueous bath for the galvanic deposition of zinc-iron alloys containing as essential components a zincate and an iron compound.
Elektrolyte zur Abscheidung von Zinklegierungen sind seit längerem bekannt. Ihre technische Verwendbarkeit beschränkt sich, nicht zuletzt wegen ihrer sehr stromdichteabhängigen Legierungszusammensetzung, vor allem auf die Bandgalvanisierung.Electrolytes for the deposition of zinc alloys have long been known. Their technical usability is limited, not least because of their alloy composition, which is very dependent on the current density, above all to coil galvanization.
In letzter Zeit wurde versucht saure Elektrolyte auf dem Markt einzuführen, aus denen korrosionsbeständige Legierungen von Zink mit Nickel, Kobalt, Eisen oder Chrom abgeschieden werden. Trotz relativ guter bis sehr guter Korrosionsdaten blieb das Anwendungsspektrum solcher Elektrolyte auffallend eng begrenzt. Die Gründe hierfür sind insbesondere die Instabilität der Elektrolyte, infolge der hohen Salzkonzentrationen und die problematische, weil stromdichteabhängige Legierungszusammensetzung. Das gleiche gilt auch für bisher bekannte Zinkeisenbäder, die den Nachteil haben, daß Zink-Eisen als Endoberfläche nicht einsetzbar wäre, da durch den Eisenanteil sich sehr schnell sowohl Rotrost als auch Weißrost bildet.Recently, attempts have been made to introduce acidic electrolytes from which corrosion-resistant alloys of zinc with nickel, cobalt, iron or chromium are deposited. Despite relatively good to very good corrosion data, the range of applications for such electrolytes remained remarkably limited. The reasons for this are in particular the instability of the electrolytes due to the high salt concentrations and the problematic alloy composition, which is dependent on the current density. The same also applies to previously known zinc iron baths, which have the disadvantage that zinc iron could not be used as the end surface, since both red rust and white rust form very quickly due to the iron content.
Ein Grund für dieses unzureichende Korrosionsverhalten der bisherigen Zink- Eisen-Überzüge mag darin liegen, daß sie aus Bädern abgeschieden wurden, die unterschiedliche, aber insgesamt ungünstige Chelatbildner enthielten. So werden i. d. DE-DS 3 506 709 unter anderem folgende Chelatbilder genannt:
Hydroxycarbonsäuren, Amninoalkohol, Polyamin, Aminocarbonsäure und andereOne reason for this inadequate corrosion behavior of the previous zinc-iron coatings may be that they were deposited from baths which contained different, but generally unfavorable chelating agents. For example, the following chelated images are mentioned in DE-DS 3 506 709:
Hydroxycarboxylic acids, amino alcohol, polyamine, aminocarboxylic acid and others
Außerdem werden in diesem Bad Eisensalze verwendet, die zu einer Anreicherung unerwünschter Fremdanionen führen.In addition, iron salts are used in this bath, which lead to an accumulation of unwanted foreign anions.
Aufgabe der Erfindung ist die Schaffung eines Bades der oben bezeichneten Gattung, welches eine von der Stromdichte unabhängige Abscheidung von Hochkorrosionsbeständigen Zink-Eisen-Legierungen unter Vermeidung von störenden Fremdanionen ermöglicht.The object of the invention is to create a bath of the type described above, which enables deposition of highly corrosion-resistant zinc-iron alloys independently of the current density, while avoiding disruptive foreign anions.
Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch ein alkalisches wässriges Bad gemäß dem kennzeichnenden Teil des Patentanspruchs gelöst.This object is achieved by an alkaline aqueous bath according to the characterizing part of the patent claim.
Weitere Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind den Kennzeichnungsteilen der Unteransprüche zu entnehmen.Further refinements of the invention can be found in the characterizing parts of the subclaims.
Das erfindungsgemäße Bad ermöglicht in herausragender Weise die Abscheidung nahezu konstant zusammengesetzter Zink-Eisen-Legierungsüberzüge mit außergewöhnlich hoher Korrosionsbeständigkeit.The bath according to the invention enables the deposition of almost constant zinc-iron alloy coatings with exceptionally high corrosion resistance in an outstanding manner.
Die Stromdichte-Unabhängigkeit ist hierbei besonders überraschend und von großer technischer Bedeutung für die Verfahrensdurchführung.The current density independence is particularly surprising and of great technical importance for the implementation of the process.
Als weitere Vorteile sind insbesondere die Abwesenheit von störenden Fremdionen sowie weiterer Komplex- bzw. Chelatbildner zu nennen.The absence of interfering foreign ions and other complexing agents or chelating agents are further advantages.
Von den Zinkaten läßt sich mit besonderem Vorteil das Natriumzinkat verwenden, jedoch können gewünschtenfalls auch die anderen Alkalizinkate zur Anwendung kommen.Of the zincates, the sodium zincate can be used with particular advantage, but if desired the other alkali zincates can also be used.
Außer Alkalihydroxid können auch Mischungen von Alkalihydroxiden mit Alkalicarbonaten im Bad erhalten sein.In addition to alkali hydroxide, mixtures of alkali hydroxides with alkali carbonates can also be obtained in the bath.
Als Bindungen des Eisens können erfahrensgemäß solche mit Polyhydroxidaldehyden, wie Monosacchariden, Disacchariden, Trisacchariden sowie Stärkeabbauprodukte verwendet werden.According to the process, bonds with iron can be those with polyhydroxy aldehydes, such as monosaccharides, disaccharides, trisaccharides and starch degradation products.
Das erfindungsgemäß zu verwendende Eisensaccharat ist an sich bekannt und kann durch an sich bekannte Verfahren hergestellt werden, zum Beispiel durch Umsetzung von Eisen-II-Chlorid, Soda, Saccharose und Natronlauge.The iron saccharate to be used according to the invention is known per se and can be prepared by processes known per se, for example by reacting iron (II) chloride, soda, sucrose and sodium hydroxide solution.
Es ist besonders vorteilhaft, die Zucker bzw. Saccharide im Bad im Überschuß einzusetzen.It is particularly advantageous to use the sugar or saccharides in excess in the bath.
Die Anwedung des erfindungsgemäßen Bades erfolgt in an sich bekannter Weise unter den folgenden Verfahrensbedingungen:
Temperatur : 25 °C
Stromdichte : 1 - 4 A/dm²
pH-Wert : > 13The bath according to the invention is used in a manner known per se under the following process conditions:
Temperature: 25 ° C
Current density: 1 - 4 A / dm²
pH:> 13
Als Substrate für die abzuscheidenden Zink-Eisen-Legierungsüberzüge sind insbesondere Eisen-Stahl geeignet.Iron-steel are particularly suitable as substrates for the zinc-iron alloy coatings to be deposited.
Die Grundzusammensetzung des erfindungsgemäßen Bades ist wie folgt:
120 g/Liter Alkalihydroxid
10 g/Liter Zinkoxid
30 g/Liter AlkalicarbonatThe basic composition of the bath according to the invention is as follows:
120 g / liter alkali hydroxide
10 g / liter zinc oxide
30 g / liter alkali carbonate
Die aus dem erfindungsgemäßen Bad abgeschiedenen Legierungsüberzüge können in an sich bekannter Weise mittels geeigneter Chromartierlösungen mit Chromatdeckschichten versehen werden.The alloy coatings deposited from the bath according to the invention can be provided with chromate cover layers in a manner known per se by means of suitable chrome sorting solutions.
Die folgenden Beispiele dienen zur Erläuterung der Erfindung.The following examples serve to illustrate the invention.
Die folgende Tabelle zeigt die Legierungszusammensetzung (Anteil Fe) bei unterschiedlichen Stromdichten, in Abhängigkeit von der Zink- und Eisenkonzentration im Bad.
Die verwendeten Bäder hatten neben den in der Tabelle aufgeführten Bestandteilen folgende Zusammensetzung:
Die Befunde zeigten den ungewöhnlichen Standard der erfindungsgemäßen Bäder, nämlich relativ niedrige Eisenkonzentration im Elektrolyten und den dennoch ungewöhnlich gleichmäßigen Eisengehalt im Überzug bei unterschiedlichen Stromdichten.The results showed the unusual standard of the baths according to the invention, namely relatively low iron concentration in the electrolyte and the nevertheless unusually uniform iron content in the coating at different current densities.
Zum Vergleich seien die entsprechenden Daten eines kommerziellen alkalischen Zink-Eisen-Bades angeführt:
Aus einem Bad der im Beispiel I in der Tabelle genannten Zusammensetzung wurden 8 µm dicke Zn-Fe-Überzüge abgeschieden. Diese enthielten 0,5 % Fe.8 µm thick Zn-Fe coatings were deposited from a bath of the composition given in Example I in the table. These contained 0.5% Fe.
Diese Überzüge wurden durch Tauchen in eine übliche Chromatierlösung passiviert:These coatings were passivated by immersing them in a conventional chromating solution:
Ein Teil der Proben wurde nach dem Chromatieren 1h bei 120 °C getempert (Sonderforderung der Autoindustrie), der Rest wurde bei 60 - 80 °C ca. 15 min. lang getrocknet.Some of the samples were tempered for 1 hour at 120 ° C after chromating (special requirement of the automotive industry), the rest were at 60 - 80 ° C for approx. 15 min. dried long.
Nach einer Lagerzeit von mind. 1 Woche wurden die Proben im Salzsprühtest gem. DIN 50021 55 getestet,
- a) bis zu deutlich beginnender Oberflächenkorrosion (Weißrost);
- b) bis zum Auftreten von Rotrost.
- a) up to clearly beginning surface corrosion (white rust);
- b) until the appearance of red rust.
Parallel dazu werden unter optimalen Bedingungen hergestellte Proben aus alkalischen Zinkelektrolyten zum Vergleich getestet. Die Ergebnisse sind in der folgenden Tabelle aufgeführt.
Bei diesem Vergleich muß beachtet werden, daß die zum Vergleich eingesetzten chromatierten Zinkmuster bereits einen ungewöhnlich hohen Standard darstellen. Dennoch verhielten sich selbst die getemperten Zn-Fe-Chromatüberzüge beständiger.In this comparison it must be noted that the chromated zinc samples used for the comparison already represent an unusually high standard. Nevertheless, even the annealed Zn-Fe chromate coatings behaved more consistently.
Der mit den ungetemperten Proben erreichte Korrosionsschutz von ca. 1000 Stunden Salzsprühtest für Zn-Fe-chromatiert beweist, daß mit dem erfindungsgerechten Bad Korrosionsschutzwerte erreicht werden, wie sie bisher nur mit einem speziellen Zink-Nickel-Verfahren aus sauren Bädern erzielbar waren, was jedoch die aus der Tabelle ersichtlichen Nachteile besitzt.
