Abstract
A corrosion-resistant Al-based structural member (1) is provided that has a base layer (2) adhered to the surface of an Al-based structural member (1 0), and a corrosion-inhibiting coating (3) adhered to the surface of the base layer (2). The base layer (2) is made of Zn, and the corrosion-inhibiting coating (3) is made of a trivalent Cr-containing chromate coating for Zn. It is thereby possible to provide a corrosion-resistant Al-based structural member equipped with a nonpolluting corrosion-inhibiting coating containing no hexavalent chromium.
Description
- The present invention relates to a corrosion-resistant Al-based structural member and a production process therefor. Here, the Al-based structural member includes both a structural member made of pure Al and a structural member made of an Al alloy.
- Conventionally, as this type of Al-based structural member, an arrangement in which a corrosion-inhibiting coating made of a chromate coating is provided is known (e.g., Japanese Patent Publication No. 60-35432).
- However, since the conventional chromate coating is formed using a treatment liquid containing CrO3 as an essential component, the coating contains hexavalent Cr. As is well known, hexavalent Cr is an element that is harmful to the human body, and it is therefore desirable for the corrosion-inhibiting coating to contain no hexavalent Cr from the viewpoint of preventing pollution.
- It is an object of the present invention to provide a corrosion-resistant Al-based structural member that includes a nonpolluting corrosion-inhibiting coating containing no hexavalent chromium.
- In order to attain this object, in accordance with the present invention, there is provided a corrosion-resistant Al-based structural member that includes a base layer adhered to the surface of an Al-based structural member, and a corrosion-inhibiting coating adhered to the surface of the base layer, the base layer being made of Zn, and the corrosion-inhibiting coating being made of a trivalent Cr-containing chromate coating for Zn.
- This corrosion-inhibiting coating has excellent corrosion resistance and is useful in terms of preventing pollution since it contains no hexavalent Cr, which is harmful to the human body. Furthermore, although the trivalent Cr-containing chromate coating for Zn cannot adhere directly to the surface of the Al-based structural member, the coating exhibits sufficient adhesion to the base layer made of Zn, that is, the surface of the Zn base layer. Moreover, it is easy to form a Zn base layer adhering to the surface of the Al-based structural member by employing a known zincate treatment, etc.
- It is another object of the present invention to provide a production process that enables the corrosion-resistant Al-based structural member having this arrangement to be mass produced.
- In order to attain this object, in accordance with the present invention, there is provided a process for producing a corrosion-resistant Al-based structural member, the process including a step of forming a base layer made of Zn, that is, a Zn base layer, on the surface of an Al-based structural member by a zincate treatment, and a step of forming a corrosion-inhibiting coating made of a trivalent Cr-containing chromate coating for Zn on the surface of the Zn base layer by a chromate treatment using a trivalent chromate agent.
- In accordance with this production process, the corrosion-resistant Al-based structural member having the above-mentioned arrangement can be obtained easily and reliably. Furthermore, the zincate treatment and the chromate treatment are both carried out by employing a dip method, and the two treatments may be carried out as an in-line process, thereby improving the productivity.
- A treatment time t1 required for the zincate treatment is set at a value, for example t1≧30 s, that enables the amount of Zn deposited on the surface of the Al-based structural member to be increased to give a Zn base layer having a required thickness. On the other hand, a treatment time t2 required for the chromate treatment is set at a value, for example t2≦15 s, that enables the trivalent Cr-containing chromate coating for Zn to be reliably formed on the surface of the Zn base layer while ensuring the thickness of the Zn base layer, despite the Zn base layer being dissolved by the chromate treatment. When the treatment time t1 for the zincate treatment is less than 30 s, the thickness of the Zn base layer is insufficient for the chromate treatment, whereas when the treatment time t2 for the chromate treatment is more than 15 s, dissolution of the Zn base layer proceeds, thus giving rise to a possibility that the surface of the Al-based structural member might be exposed.

FIG. 2 is an enlarged sectional view of an essential part of the carburetor main body made of the corrosion-resistant Al alloy. -
FIG. 1 shows a corrosion-resistant carburetormain body 1 made of an Al alloy, which corresponds to the corrosion-resistant Al-based structural member. As shown inFIG. 2 , this corrosion-resistant carburetormain body 1 is obtained by providing an unprotected surface of a carburetormain body 10, obtained by die-casting using JIS ADC12, with abase layer 2, which is adhered thereto, and a corrosion-inhibitingcoating 3, which is adhered to the surface of thebase layer 2. Thebase layer 2 is made of Zn, whereas the corrosion-inhibitingcoating 3 is made of a trivalent Cr-containing chromate coating for Zn. - This corrosion-inhibiting
coating 3 has excellent corrosion resistance and is useful in terms of prevention of pollution since it does not contain hexavalent Cr, which is harmful to the human body. Furthermore, the trivalent Cr-containing chromate coating for Zn cannot directly adhere to the surface of the carburetormain body 1 0, which is made of an Al alloy, but exhibits sufficient adhesion to the surface of the base layer made of Zn, that is, theZn base layer 2. Moreover, it is easy to form theZn base layer 2 adhering to the surface of the carburetormain body 1 0 made of an Al alloy by employing a known zincate treatment, etc. - When producing the corrosion-resistant carburetor
main body 1, the die-cast carburetormain body 1 0 is first subjected to a known pretreatment, that is, sequentially washing with hot water, degreasing, washing with water, activating, washing with water, and washing with hot water. Subsequently, a step of forming theZn base layer 2 on the surface of the pretreated carburetormain body 1 0 by a zincate treatment, a water washing step, a step of forming the corrosion-inhibitingcoating 3, which is made of a trivalent Cr-containing chromate coating for Zn, on the surface of theZn base layer 2 by a chromate treatment employing a trivalent chromate agent, a water washing step, and a drying step are carried out in sequence. - In accordance with this production process, the corrosion-resistant carburetor
main body 1 having the above-mentioned arrangement can be obtained easily and reliably. Furthermore, since the zincate treatment and the chromate treatment are both carried out by employing a dip method, the two treatments may be carried out as an in-line process, thus improving the productivity. - A treatment time t1 required for the zincate treatment is set at a value, for example t1≧30 s, that enables the amount of Zn deposited on the surface of the carburetor
main body 1 0 to be increased to give theZn base layer 2 having a required thickness. On the other hand, a treatment time t2 required for the chromate treatment is set at a value, for example t2≦15 s, that enables the trivalent Cr-containing chromate coating for Zn to be reliably formed on the surface of theZn base layer 2 while ensuring the thickness of theZn base layer 2, despite theZn base layer 2 being dissolved by the chromate treatment. - As a main component of a zincate treatment liquid, a Zn substitution liquid (product name: K-102, manufactured by Japan Kanigen Co., Ltd.) was selected. This zinc substitution liquid contains 18.6 wt % of NaOH, 3.1 wt % of ZnO, 7.8 wt % of an organic acid, and a trace amount of an additive. The concentration of this liquid was adjusted to 220 mL/L to give a zincate treatment liquid.
- As a main component of a chromate treatment liquid, a trivalent chromate agent (product name: Dipsol ZT-444A, liquid form, manufactured by Dipsol Chemicals Co., Ltd.) was selected. This trivalent chromate agent contains 14 to 16 wt % (Cr3+:4) of chromium nitrate [Cr(NO3)3.9H2O], 2 to 4 wt % of cobalt nitrate [Co(NO3)2], with the balance being normal materials, and they are existing chemical substances. The concentration of this liquid was adjusted to 60 mL/L to give a chromate treatment liquid.
- A plurality of the Al alloy carburetor main bodies (JIS ADC12, die-cast) 1 0 as described above were prepared, and they were subjected to the pretreatment described above. Subsequently, various types of corrosion-resistant carburetor
main bodies 1 were obtained by carrying out, in sequence, formation of theZr base layer 2 using the zincate treatment liquid at 30° C. for various treatment times t1, washing with water, formation of the corrosion-inhibitingcoating 3 using the chromate treatment liquid at 30° C. for various treatment times t2, washing with water, and drying. - These corrosion-resistant carburetor
main bodies 1 were subjected to a brine spray test, and the percentage area A of white product (product due to corrosion of Al alloy) 48 hours after starting the test, that is, A=(area of white product/total surface area of carburetor main body)×100 (%), was determined. Table 1 shows the treatment time t1 of the zincate treatment, the treatment time t2 of the chromate treatment, and the percentage area A of the white product related to Examples 1 to 6 of the corrosion-resistant carburetormain bodies 1.TABLE 1 Corrosion- Treatment time resistant Treatment time of of chromate Percentage area carburetor zincate treatment treatment of white product main body t1 (s) t2 (s) A (%) Example 1 50 15 1 Example 2 30 15 3 Example 3 15 15 10 Example 4 15 30 30 Example 5 15 50 70 - As is clear from Table 1, if the treatment time t1 of the zincate treatment is set at t1≧30 s and the treatment time t2 of the chromate treatment is set at t2≦15 s, as in Examples 1 and 2, an Al alloy carburetor
main body 1 having excellent corrosion resistance can be obtained. In the case of Examples 3 to 5, since the treatment time t1 of the zincate treatment was 15 s, theZn base layer 2 was relatively thin, but since the treatment time t2 of the chromate treatment was t2=15 S<t2=30 s<t2=50 s, the amount of the surface of the carburetormain body 10 exposed increased in the order Example 3, Example 4, Example 5, and the corrosion resistance also deteriorated in this order. - The Al-based structural member is not limited to the Al alloy carburetor main body, and includes a throttle body, a solenoid valve main body, a compressor housing, etc. made of an Al alloy, and further includes a structural member made of pure Al.
