Int. Cl. C23c 17/00 U.S. Cl. 148-635 26 Claims ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE Iron, steel, and iron base alloys are provided with coatings made by forming an adherent oxide layer on the surface, treating the oxide layer with at least one Group III metal, and then oxidizing the Group III metal. The coatings are useful for providing corrosion and oxidation resistance, particularly at elevated temperatures. The coatings also are useful for providing an electrically insulative or dielectric layer.
This application is a continuation-in-part of application Ser. No. 828,707, filed May 28, 1969, now abandoned.
FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to coatings for ferrous base alloys, for example, to coatings containing metals selected from Group III of the Periodic Table, such as aluminum, and to processes for preparing such coatings.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is accordingly an object of the present invention to provide unique coatings for ferrous base metal articles. It is a further object of the present invention to provide adherent coatings for ferrous base metal articles that form an electrically insulated layer thereon. It is another object of the invention to provide coatings for ferrous base metal articles that form a protective barrier on the surface thereof, as, for instance, against oxidation. It is still another object of the invention to provide a coating for ferrous base metal articles that is corrosion resistant, and particularly to a coating that effectively provides corrosion resistance at temperatures above 212 F., as encountered in boiling water and steel reactors in the electrical utility industry. It is yet another object of the invention to provide a coating that is water insoluble. It is still another object of the invention to provide a surface barrier for ferrous base metal articles. It is yet another object of the invention to provide novel coatings having a unique combination of physical, chemical, and/ or electrical properties. Other and further objects of the invention will be apparent from the following specification and appended claims.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The ferrous base metal articles that are to be coated may be formed of iron, steel, or ferrous base alloys. The invention is particularly applicable to carbon steels (having a carbon content from about 0.10% by weight to about 0.40% by weight), and especially to weldable carbon steels, because of their ready availability, their comparatively advantageous economic position, and their otherwise convenient maintainability.
The surface of the ferrous base metal article to be protected is formed with a tightly adherent oxide layer. The oxide layer formed by heating the article in air to temperatures in the range below the point at which the oxide layer spalls off. This is accomplished, for example, by heating the article in atmospheric oxygen to temperatures in the range from about 300 F., to about 800 F. As an alternative, the oxide layer may be formed in controlled oxidizing atmospheres. It special oxidizing atmospheres are employed, the required temperatures, of course, may be changed. As another alternative the oxide layer may be formed by exposure to the atmosphere at ambient temperatures for sufiicient time to form the oxide film. In any case, temperatures and the time of oxidation are maintained at conditions suflicient to form an adherent oxide film on the metal and oxidation is discontinued prior to the formation of a loose, flaky, non-adherent film.
After the formation of the tightly adherent oxide layer, said oxide layer is treated with at least one metal in Group III of the Periodic Table. The Group III metal may be, for example, aluminum, scandium, yttrium, or the rare earth metals. The Group III metal is reacted in solid phase with the oxide layer. One procedure for the solid phase reaction is to frictionally contact the surface of the oxide layer with a solid form of Group III metal, as by rubbing, brushing, buffing, and the like, This may be performed, for example, by frictionally rubbing a foil of the Group III metal against the oxide layer, or by applying a powder onto the oxide layer and bufling thereagainst, or by shot peening the Group III metal against the oxide layer. Another procedure is to disperse comminuted Group III metal particles in a hydrocarbon and to apply the dispersion to the oxide layer, after which the hydrocarbon is evaporated, and the metal buffed against the oxide layer.
In applying aluminum to the oxide layer, for example, aluminum foil may be rubbed frictionally against the oxide layer at ambient temperatures. Sufficient energy is applied in the frictional contacts during rubbing to cause a reaction between the oxide layer and the aluminum.
The Group IH metal is applied in solid form to the oxide layer. Usually ambient temperatures are adequate for reaction of Group III metal in solid phase with the oxide layer, but in certain instances elevated temperatures may be desirable, and, in any event, the temperatures must be maintained in a range in which the oxide layer will not spall off by the heating. It the oxide layer is formed on the ferrous base metal by heating, it may be advantageous to apply the Group III metal prior to complete cooling of the article.
The Group In metal will be applied in solid form with the oxide layer in temperatures ranging from ambient to the point of critical transformation of the ferrous base metal article, the latter of which tends to cause the oxide layer to spall off.
Yttrium and rare earth metals desirably are reacted with the oxide layer as powders. Because the powdered forms of the yttrium and rare earth metals are pyrophoric,
they are handled preferably under protective materials,-
way of example, after aluminum has been frictionally contacted with an oxide layer, yttrium may be applied thereto under the protection of a hydrocarbon, and then the hydrocarbon is evaporated.
The rare earth metals usually occur in mixtures, such as misch metal. They are conveniently applied, therefore, as mixtures.
Various combinations of Group III metals may be advantageous for some uses. A series of Group III metals may be reacted with the oxide layer. For example, it may be desirable first to apply aluminum, and next to apply yttrium, or misch metal, to the oxide layer.
In some instances it may be desirable to provide an additional complexing step with a chromium containing material, such as the metal, after reacting the oxide layer with the Group HI metal. Chromium metal may be applied to the oxide layer in finely divided form, for example, as a comminuted powder under the protection of a hydrocarbon, and after such treatment the hydrocarbon is evaporated.
In some instances it may be desirable to provide an additional complexing step with the oxide layer by a Group V metal. Thus, after reacting the oxide layer with the Group III metal, the oxide layer may be further complexed with a metal from Group V of the Periodic Table. This may be with or without the additional step of complexing with chromium. Exemplary Group V metals are: vanadium, columbium, and tantalum. These metals may be complexed in solid form with the oxide layer by using the procedures described above in connection with the Group III metals.
The application of the Group III metal as disclosed above results in some sort of reaction with the oxide layer not fully understood, but it is believed, for example, that aluminum forms a complex compound with the iron oxide layer. In any case, a tough adherent coating is formed. An excess of Group III metal for reaction with the oxide layer is applied.
Subsequent to the application of the Group III metal to the oxide layer, the Group III in the coating is oxidized. This may be performed by treating with a phosphorus containing acidic compound. The phosphorus containing acid compounds include the phosphoric acids, such as ortho-phosphoric acid, thiophosphoric acids, and the acid salts and/or acid esters of the foregoing. The esters may include the mono-alkyl acid phosphates, dialkyl acid phosphates, and dialkyl acid pyrophosphates. For many purposes, some of the phosphorus containing acidic compounds may be preferred to the others, and not all of the foregoing may be suitable or equally desirable for all purposes. By reason of its cost and availability, ortho-phosphoric acid is preferred for many purposes.
The phosphorus containing acidic compounds are conveniently applied by spraying on the article, or by dipping the article in a bath containing the phosphorus compound. The phosphorus containing acid compounds are believed to react with the Group III metal that has been complexed on the oxide layer to form a water-insoluble salt.
After the treatment with phosphorus containing acid gomgounds, the article may be washed with water and Other oxidizing operations are contemplated, for example, treating with nitric acid, as well as other known oxidizing techniques.
The oxidation of the Group III metal improves the coating in many important physical characteristics. The coating is made electrically insulative, which has many useful applications. The coating is also made more corrosive resistant. The coating after the Group III metal has been oxidized is subject to further treatment with other metals, for example, the Group V metals, as by the techniques set forth above.
The oxidation of the Group IH metal may be performed in a configuration that will provide selected electn'cal characteristics. For instance, a ribbon of Group HI metal may be un-oxidized, while the remainder is oxidized to provide an electrical conductor on the surface of the coating. At least a portion of the Group III metal is oxidized, however, to provide benefits to the coating.
The following examples set forth preferred methods of carrying out the invention. They are furnished by way of illustrations, and not as limitations to the invention.
Example 1 The surface of a piece of carbon steel plate was oxidized by heating in air to ranges from 500 F. to 700 F., to form an adherent oxide film thereon. The oxide film was rubbed with aluminum foil until an excess of aluminum was noted on the surface. The article then was dipped in a bath of technical grade concentrated phosphoric acid. The article was maintained in the phosphoric acid bath during the reaction evidenced by the formation of hydrogen gas. After the evolution of hydrogen gas had discontinued, the article was lifted from the bath, the excess phosphoric acid removed, and the article cleaned by washing with tap water, and allowed to dry.
The article so treated was tested for its resistance to corrosion by hot water in a humidity bath over a 48 hour period. No visible corrosion was apparent.
Example 2 The same procedure is followed as set forth in Example 1, except that after the frictional application of aluminum foil, comminuted yttrium powder dispersed in propane is sprayed on the oxide layer. The propane is volatilized and the article immediately dipped in the phosphoric acid bath.
Example3 The same procedure is employed as set forth in Example 1, except that after the frictional application of aluminum foil, misch metal dispersed in propane is sprayed on the oxide layer. The article thereafter is dipped in the phosphoric acid bath.
Example 4 The same procedure is followed as set forth in Example 1, except that after the frictional application of aluminum foil, the oxide layer is further treated with comminuted columbium metal particles. The article thereafter was dipped in the phosphoric acid bath.
Example 5 A stainless steel 18-8 plate was heated to about 1300 F. for one hour to form an oxide film on the surface. The oxide film was rubbed with aluminum foil until excess aluminum was apparent on the surface. The aluminum is then oxidized by dipping in nitric acid.
The invention lends itself to many applications. The ferrous base metal article may be first fabricated to the desired shape, such as a turbine blade, reaction vessel, or die, and then subjected to the coating process described hereinabove.
There are many unusual advantages resulting from the coating of ferrous base metal articles in accordance with the foregoing described invention.
The coating forms a water insoluble layer that resists corrosion by water and steam at elevated temperatures.
In electrical power plants the water systems are maintained at an alkaline pH. The coating described herein may be used to improve the corrosion resistance of parts used in such systems.
The coating also forms a dielectric layer or electrically insulative layer. The coating may be used to provide electrical insulation between electrical conductors.
The exact nature of the coating is now known. It is believed, however, that a succession of complexes are formed between the oxide layer, the Group III metal, and the oxidizing operation to produce a barrier having the novel physical, chemical and/or electrical properties.
Other modes of applying the principles of the invention may be employed, change being made as regards the details described, provided the features stated in any of the following claims, or the equivalent of such, be employed.
