DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION <Industrial field of application> The present invention is an electroplating of iron-zinc alloy (Fe-Zn alloy) which is excellent in appearance performance such as coating finish (visibility) and plating film homogeneity. The present invention relates to a steel material manufacturing method.

However, recently, it is extremely important for these rust-proof steel sheets to have not only excellent paintability and corrosion resistance, but also high surface appearance and high homogeneity of the plating film, especially in "post-painting appearance performance" for car body outer panels. It has come to be required as an element.

On the other hand, in the Fe-Zn alloy plating, not only the electrodeposited crystals are easily coarsened (the crystal grain size is about 0.5 to 1.0 μmφ) but the gloss feeling is not good, but the crystal grain size and the plating are changed due to the fluctuation of operating conditions. The surface throwing power was not easy to change and the surface uniformity was not satisfactory.

That is, during Fe-Zn alloy plating work, Fe 2+ ions in the plating bath are oxidized due to air entrainment during liquid circulation (Fe
2+ + 1 / 2H 2 O + 1 / 4O 2 → Fe 3+ + OH) In addition, when an insoluble anode is used, it is also oxidized to Fe 3+ ions by oxygen generated from the anode. Further, since it is also oxidized by a direct electrode reaction at the anode, the amount of Fe 3+ ions in the bath will gradually increase. Then, the Fe 3+ other ions to reduce the plating current efficiency, and adversely affect factor in quality such as plated surface appearance and plating uniformity, the Fe 2+ ions of the anode to improve the post-painting appearance Although a plating bath that suppresses oxidation has been desired, it has not yet been able to achieve satisfactory results.

However, in order to reduce the Fe 3+ ions generated in the plating bath, metal Fe or metal Zn is also added to serve as ion replenishment, but in this case, it is economical and economical. Despite the desire for high reduction efficiency of Fe 3+ ions, a plating bath under sufficient reducing conditions has not yet been found.

As a result of earnest research to find a method capable of stably producing an excellent Fe-Zn alloy electroplated material, as a result, "direct electroplating on a steel material is performed in a normal sulfate Fe-Zn alloy plating bath At this time, if a small amount of a nonionic surfactant is added to the plating bath in combination with a specific amount of pH buffer and a "relative flow rate of the plating solution to the material to be plated" of a specific value or more is secured, Anodic oxidation of Fe 2+ ions present in the steel during current application is sufficiently suppressed, and metal Fe and Zn are supplied to supply Fe 2+ ions and Zn 2+ ions to the plating bath. When replenishing, Fe in the bath
In addition to the effects of promoting the reduction of 3+ ions and the smooth dissolution of metals, the deposited crystals are made finer to further improve the homogeneity of plating and the finish of the coating (vividness) is significantly improved. The knowledge has been obtained.

The reason for limiting the addition amount of the pH buffer agent, the addition ratio of the nonionic surfactant, and the relative flow velocity of the plating solution in the method of the present invention is as follows.

a) pH buffering agent If the addition rate of the pH buffering agent is less than 10 g /, the effect is not exhibited, while if it is added in excess of 500 g /, the effect is not improved enough to meet the addition amount. The addition rate of the agent was limited to 10 to 500 g /.

c) Relative Velocity of Plating Solution When the relative velocity of the plating solution with respect to the material to be plated is less than 0.5 m / sec, the effect of improving the clarity after coating is small, and the plating bath according to the present invention is powdered depending on the electrolytic conditions. There is also a risk of ringing deterioration and plating burns (blackening). Therefore, the relative flow velocity of the plating solution was set to 0.5 m / sec or more.

Fig. 1 is a graph showing the relationship between the relative flow velocity of the plating solution and the sharpness after coating. From this Fig. 1 as well, sharpness of the sharpness is shown when the relative velocity is below 0.5 m / sec. It turns out that it deteriorates. The results shown in FIG. 1 were obtained based on the following plating conditions.

By the way, as the basic composition of the sulfuric acid bath-based Fe-Zn alloy plating bath to which the pH buffering agent and the nonionic surfactant are added, and other plating conditions, any of those known so far is adopted. It goes without saying that it is also good.

As described above, the present invention is a direct electroplating on a steel material at a relative flow rate of 0.5 m / sec or more in a Fe-Zn alloy plating bath containing a pH buffer and a nonionic surfactant which is an organic additive. However, the reason why the image clarity after coating, the uniformity of plating adhesion, and the like are improved is considered as follows.

<Action> Polyethylene glycol, polypropylene glycol, etc., which are nonionic surfactants, are linear polymers, and during plating, block formation in the vicinity of the interface with the base metal (metal to be plated: steel) and light addition to the base metal It is considered that the current is dispersed by adsorption to suppress the crystal growth at the active points and promote the precipitation and uniform attachment of fine crystals.

It should be noted that, since the cationic surfactants that have been generally used for Fe-Zn alloy plating are positively charged, they easily move to the base metal by electrophoresis and are easily adsorbed, but they are taken into the plating film. There is inconvenience. On the other hand, in the case of nonionic surfactants, block formation in the vicinity of the interface is dominant rather than adsorption, so it is not affected by the irregularities of the surface of the base metal, and fine deposition or uniform deposition of plated metal It is possible to improve the sex.

一方、pH緩衝剤は、電析時にカソード(被めっき部)で
のOH-生成によるpH上昇を抑える作用を発揮する。
On the other hand, the pH buffering agent exerts an action of suppressing a pH increase due to OH formation at the cathode (plated portion) during electrodeposition.

Generally, in Fe-Zn alloy plating baths, Fe 2+ ions in the bath tend to be oxidized to Fe 3+ ions by anodic oxidation, air oxidation, etc., but this is OH - ion bonded to form Fe (OH) 3 . When formed, it promotes heterogeneous electrodeposition.

The pH buffer suppresses this Fe (OH) 3 generation reaction and reduces heterogeneous electrodeposition due to Fe 3+ ions. It is presumed that due to this action, a plated product with stable quality can be obtained even if the amount of generated Fe 3+ ions increases to some extent.

In other words, the finish (visibility) after painting by the method of the present invention
The effect of improving the above is that the action of the nonionic surfactant is combined with the action of the above pH buffering agent, and the action of homogenizing / miniaturizing the electrodeposition of the high relative flow velocity of the plating solution is also added. Is considered to be brought about by morphological uniformity of the plating surface, good throwing power, and compositional uniformity contributing to the electrodeposition coatability.

例えば、第2図を参照されたい。第2図は、 めっき浴組成 Na2SO4:40g/, Fe2+:50g/, Zn2+:50g/, ポリプロピレングリコール:5ppm, 酢酸ソーダ(pH緩衝剤):種々量, めっき浴pH pH1.8, 電流密度 80A/dm2, 相対液流速 1.0m/sec, なる条件でFe−Zn合金めっき鋼板を製造した際の、pH緩

See, for example, FIG. Fig. 2 shows plating bath composition Na 2 SO 4 : 40g /, Fe 2+ : 50g /, Zn 2+ : 50g /, polypropylene glycol: 5ppm, sodium acetate (pH buffer): various amounts, plating bath pH pH1 .8, current density 80 A / dm 2 , relative liquid flow rate 1.0 m / sec, relationship between pH buffer (sodium acetate) addition amount and coating clarity when Fe-Zn alloy plated steel sheet was manufactured As can be seen from FIG. 2, it is not possible to secure a good appearance after coating simply by adding a nonionic surfactant or increasing the relative flow velocity of the plating solution. /
It can be seen that the Fe-Zn alloy-plated steel sheet excellent in coating clarity is obtained only by simultaneously adding the above pH buffering agent.

Further, the Fe-Zn alloy plating bath according to the present invention also has a function of reducing the anodic oxidation of iron in the bath, and when metal Fe or metal Zn is added as ion supply to the bath, these metals are added. It has also been revealed by the study of the present inventor that the reduction efficiency of Fe 3+ ions is increased by the dissolution of Fe.

In addition, "Anodic oxidation amount" in Table 1 is the amount of anodic oxidation when an insoluble anode is used under the above conditions and 7,000 c / current is applied, and "metal reduction efficiency" From Table 1 above, it can be confirmed that in the Fe-Zn alloy plating bath according to the present invention, anodic oxidation of iron is suppressed and the Fe 3+ reduction efficiency at the time of adding metallic Fe and metallic Zn is high.

However, the effect of suppressing this oxidation is small if only a nonionic surfactant is added.Therefore, this effect is synergistic with the combination with a pH buffer as in the case of the clearness after painting. Conceivable.
