Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for coating the surface of a light metal substrate, in particular aluminum and magnesium with a layer which is characterized by an advantageous combination of scratch resistance, ductility and corrosion protection effect, and coated light metal substrates.
- Untreated surfaces of objects made of light metals, in particular aluminum (including aluminum alloys) or magnesium (including magnesium alloys), in particular in certain media, such as alkalis or acids, a strong corrosion susceptibility.
- their mechanical stability is comparatively low. Therefore, in particular aluminum surfaces (if necessary refined by a chemical, electrochemical or mechanical pretreatment) are often treated by anodizing (anodization, anodization, anodization).
- anodizing anodization, anodization, anodization
- Corresponding anodized surfaces have a metallic luster due to the transparency of the oxide layer produced and are somewhat protected against corrosion and scratching compared to untreated surfaces.
- Anodic coatings typically have an open-pored surface structure.
- Dyes can optionally be incorporated into the pores. Frequently, the openings of the anodizing pores are closed by compaction. For this purpose, alumina hydrate is usually formed in the pore, which improves corrosion protection and longevity. Eloxal layers form an integral part of the aluminum and therefore do not peel off or burst.
- a disadvantage of Eloxal harshen is their low ductility. Typical is crack-onset strain, elongation to microcracking of about 0.4%, which is thus worse than with untreated aluminum. This means in the processing of corresponding components of aluminum or aluminum alloys (aluminum substrates), for example in the case of automotive trims, a strong limitation.
- the anodising improves the corrosion resistance of the surface of an aluminum substrate compared to the untreated aluminum substrate, it is not sufficient for all fields of application.
- against the attack of strong bases (pH about 13.5 or higher) protect anodization only insufficient. This has resulted in anodizing surfaces being used in some technical applications such as e.g. the automotive industry no longer meet the current requirement profile.
- the scratch resistance of an anodized surface is increased over the surface of an untreated aluminum substrate, it is not sufficient in all dimensions (e.g., not for moldings, covers, lamps, fittings and machine parts of food processing).
- An example of a diverse surface load which often can not cope with a surface treated by an anodizing process, can again be found in the automotive sector, for example in the case of aluminum rims. If such rims, in order to obtain their metallic luster, are not to be painted after polishing, a process for producing coatings which hardly or not change the visual appearance, which provides good corrosion protection, is not necessary under mechanical pressure and tensile stress tend to cracking, have a high scratch resistance, are not undermined in local destruction, as insensitive to alkalis and cleaning agents, the surface imitate well and have a high temperature resistance and optionally a dirt-repellent surface behavior, so that, for example can not fix brake dust.
- a protective layer should have an improved crack elongation.
- improved chemical stability compared to alkaline media and generally an improved corrosion protection effect compared to anodized coatings is desirable.
- such a layer should have an improved scratch resistance compared to anodized layers and can be produced in an economically advantageous process, in particular at a relatively high speed.
- step B coating the optionally cleaned in step A substrate surface in a plasma polymerization reactor by plasma polymerization, wherein - in step B as a precursor (s) for the plasma one or more organosilicon and (a) no further or (b) other compounds are used and in step B, the light metal substrate in the plasma polymerization reactor is arranged to (i) be between the zone in which the plasma is formed and the cathode or (ii) to act as a cathode, characterized in that the process is conducted in that the coating produced by the method has a content of carbon which can be determined by measurement by means of XPS of 5 to 20 atom%, preferably 10 to 15 atom%, based on the total number of carbon, silicon and oxygen atoms contained in the coating according to ASTM D 1925 determined yellow index (Yellow Index) of ⁇ 3, preferably ⁇ 2.5 and one by nanoindentation to m having hardness of hardness in the range of 2.5 to 6 GPa, preferably 3.1 to 6 GPa.
- step B as
- Light metal in the context of the present invention is a metallic material having a specific density of at most 4.5 g / cm 3 .
- These include in particular magnesium, aluminum, beryllium and titanium and their alloys.
- Preferred light metal substrates are magnesium substrates and in particular aluminum substrates.
- Coatings with a yellow index of 2.5 or below generally have no yellowing discernible to the human eye. However, for coatings intended to replace anodized coatings, even a minimal yellowing is tolerable, as with a yellow index in the range of over 2.5 to 3.
- the yellow index is further determined substantially by the proportion of Si-H bonds in the coating produced by the process according to the invention, which, as explained below, is crucial for achieving favorable ranges of hardness and elasticity and thus for achieving the advantageous property combination.
- Another important parameter is the carbon content in the coating produced by the process according to the invention, which is influenced by the proportion of organic groups. This in turn is just as important for the hardness and elasticity of the coating, which is also desirable for achieving the advantageous property combination. Due to a high elasticity of the coating, this can e.g. be stretched together with the coated article, without causing cracking. With very high elasticity of the coating, the substrate can even be plastically deformed without the coating being damaged. As a result, forming processes of the coated material are possible to some extent.
- the scratch resistance, the elongation at break and the corrosion protection properties are improved in comparison with the anodised aluminum layers typical for aluminum.
- the scratch resistance of the layers is in many cases comparable to that of glass surfaces.
- an anodizing surface may also be coated, which may be desirable, in particular in the case of colored anodising layers.
- the scratch resistance and the corrosion protection properties are improved.
- dirt-repellent (low-energy) surface properties can occur on the coating surface be set.
- the achievable layer property function is not only of interest as an anodic additive, but also for the general coating of light metals.
- DE 197 48 240 A1 discloses a process for the corrosion-resistant coating of metal substrates, in particular of aluminum or aluminum alloys, by means of plasma polymerization.
- precursor (s) at least one hydrocarbon or organosilicon compound is used.
- no information is given on the proportion of carbon atoms in the plasma polymer coatings produced or on their yellowness index.
- the layers disclosed there protect the surface well against corrosion without changing it visually.
- One limitation, however, is their low scratch resistance. Due to the low deposition rates, the process disclosed therein is not suitable for producing economically higher layer thicknesses, as are necessary for scratch-resistant coatings. In addition, it places very high demands on the surface roughness of the substrate.
- WO 03/002269 A2 discloses articles comprising a substrate and a plasma-polymer coating comprising O, C and Si, which is surface-connected to the substrate, in which the molar ratios of O to Si and C to Si are each in certain ranges and easy to clean.
- the coatings disclosed therein have at least 25 atomic% of a higher carbon content than the coatings produced by the process according to the invention and do not have the above-mentioned combination of favorable properties. Also, nothing is said about the yellow index to be set.
- Domingues et al. (2002) Electrochimica Acta 47, 2253-2258 discloses an aluminum alloy with a plasma polymer coating that provides some corrosion protection (as detected by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy).
- the disclosed coating lacks, in particular, the good scratch resistance and the high extensibility that are inherent in the coating according to the invention. Furthermore, it is characterized by a high water absorption, comparable to that of organic coatings.
- Domingues et al. contains no information regarding yellowing or carbon content. On the basis of the procedure (ratio of the gas flows of oxygen to the organosilicon precursor about 23: 1, for more details on the influence of these parameters see below), the method described in Domingues et al. disclosed coating a lower carbon content than the coating produced by the inventive method.
- EP 0 748 259 B1 discloses coatings for soft substrates. It is not disclosed that the coatings could be suitable for aluminum substrates
- Thick film method e.g. The application of paints or sol-gel coatings, while the necessary corrosion resistance can achieve, but they change the visual appearance. This effect is exacerbated in the case of irregularities such as mechanical damage or poor adhesion of thick films.
- the method according to the invention is able to meet the need for a cost-effective method for producing a thin layer which does not change the surface color of the aluminum (no intrinsic color and thus has a sufficiently high transmission in the visible range), which polishes the surface structure (eg. ground, frosted) so that there is no "glossy finish" which, in addition to a high corrosion resistance, has a high mechanical resistance (scratch resistance, extensibility) and which has a high layer thickness uniformity even with complex geometries.
- the layer properties can be set within wide limits as described below.
- the hardness of the coatings which can be produced by the process according to the invention, it is possible for a person skilled in the art to achieve an optimum with regard to the scratch resistance of the coating: If the hardness is too low, the deposited plasma polymer layer is not sufficiently scratch-resistant. However, if the hardness is too high, the scratch resistance will also decrease because the layer will then become too brittle. Generally, the scratch resistance of the layer is determined by the appropriate choice of layer thickness and composition. Preferred is a method according to the invention, which is conducted so that the coating produced by the method has a pencil hardness of 4H or higher, determined according to ASTM D 3362. The measurement of the hardness by means of nanoindentation is explained in Example 2.
- the composition of the gas mixture from which the plasma is generated must also be taken into account.
- a lower self-bias is generally to be selected than for a low one. The more readily a precursor can be ionized, the lower the plasma power must be to achieve a given self-bias. With a high electrical conductivity of the plasma, a low plasma power is needed to achieve a given self-bias.
- step B Preference is given to a method according to the invention, wherein a control takes place during step B, so that the self-bias is in the range from 50 to 1000 V, preferably in the range from 100 to 400 V, preferably in the range from 100 to 300 V.
- the self-bias can e.g. be reduced with constant plasma power by the plasma excitation frequency is increased.
- An increase in the self-bias also causes an improvement in the layer thickness homogeneity. For example, it could be determined in own experiments that on a round substrate with a diameter of 10 cm, the maximum layer thickness can differ from the minimum layer thickness at 100 V self-bias by a factor of 1. 1, while this factor at 200 V self -Bias can be 1, 005.
- the light metal substrate in the plasma polymerization reactor is arranged so that it either (i) is located between the zone in which the plasma is formed and the cathode or (ii) acts as a cathode.
- Alternative (ii) is preferred here.
- the cathode the substrate acts when it is in direct electrically conductive contact with the part of the cathode which is distinguishable from the light metal substrate or when it is at a sufficiently small distance therefrom. This facilitates the achievement of a high rate of deposition of the positively charged ions of the plasma attracted to the negatively charged cathode. If the substrate itself acts as a cathode, the force is particularly increased, with which the positively charged ions impinge on the surface.
- the structure of the layer changes in the direction of a smaller proportion of organic (usually consisting mainly of C and H) groups and a correspondingly higher proportion of Si and O.
- organic usually consisting mainly of C and H
- Si and O a correspondingly higher proportion of Si and O.
- the same effect also occurs (possibly reduced) when the substrate Although not acting as a cathode, but is arranged in the acceleration path of the cations.
- the layers which can be produced by the process according to the invention are organically modified SiO 2 frameworks.
- the organic components can be detected in the IR spectrum by bands at about 2950 cm -1 and at about 1275 cm -1 . In addition, they can be detected by measuring the surface energy with test inks. The higher the proportion of organic groups, the lower the surface energy. Therefore, the higher the self-bias is set, the greater the surface energy.
- placing the substrate in a manner to act as a cathode is generally not preferred because of the risk of forming indefinable organosilicon layers on the substrate and the desire for a relatively high level of organic groups in the layer runs counter.
- the organic modification increases the flexibility and elasticity of the layer produced. In addition, it reduces its residual stresses (internal stress), which increases the crack elongation of the layer.
- the bias bias is set on the substrate.
- the dependence of the deposition rate and the layer properties on self-bias has already been explained. If the self-bias is set directly on the substrate and thus on the object to be coated, this facilitates the achievement of a layer with the desired precisely defined properties.
- a regulation is preferably carried out during step B, so that the self-bias is constant.
- the structure of the layer can be precisely controlled.
- Advantages of a self-bias which is as constant as possible are a homogeneous layer structure and a simple process transfer to a variety of substrates or a plurality of substrates.
- the self-bias is controlled directly. If the plasma power is regulated, the self-bias will generally not be completely constant, but will fluctuate by a certain amount. In such a case, it is preferable if the total fluctuation width of the self-bias is at most 5% of the time average, preferably at most 3%.
- a regulation takes place during step B so that the self-bias on the substrate is in the range from 50 to 1000 V. , preferably in the range of 100 to 400 V, more preferably in the range of 100 to 300 V, in particular such that the self-bias is constant.
- step B the light metal substrate is in spatial contact with (i) the cathode or (ii) a part of the cathode which is distinguishable from the light metal substrate.
- Alternative (ii) in contrast to alternative (i), refers to the case where the substrate itself acts as a cathode.
- An increase in the inflow of the organosilicon precursors or for the plasma, (in relation to optionally also flowing O 2 in particular under Keeping the total influx constant) generally causes lowering of hardness, increase of visible absorption (increase of yellow index), deterioration of anticorrosive effect, and improvement of crack elongation.
- Si-H bonds With a high number of Si-H bonds in a layer according to the invention, an increased absorption of light of the ultraviolet and blue spectral range can be ascertained in the UV / Vis spectrum. This leads to an undesirable yellowing (increase in the yellow index). It is therefore desirable not to make the proportion of Si-H bonds too large. A reduction in self-bias prevents the formation of Si-H bonds in the coating. Likewise, the formation of Si-H bonds can be inhibited by a suitable selection of the amount and / or type of precursor (s). This is usually achieved by reducing the inflow of organosilicon precursors, which also reduces the proportion of organic groups in the coating. The occurrence of Si-H bonds can also be detected in the IR spectrum (2150 to 2250 cm -1 ).
- step B the plasma is supplied with oxygen (in the form of O 2 ) and preferably all the substances supplied to the plasma in step B are gaseous before they enter the plasma polymerization reactor.

- the inflow of the one or more organosilicon precursors or the self-bias can be reduced. If the coating is too hard and thus too brittle, the self-bias can be reduced or the inflow of the organic acid precursor (s) can be increased.
