Definitions

  • aluminum is increasingly used in vehicle construction.
  • the expression "aluminum” refers not only to pure aluminum but also to aluminum alloys whose main
  • 5 component is aluminum.
  • Examples of commonly used alloying elements are silicon, magnesium, copper, manganese, chromium and nickel, the total proportion by weight of these alloying elements in the alloy normally not exceeding 10 %.
  • engine and gear parts, wheels, seat frames, etc. already contain large amounts of aluminum, the use of aluminum in bodywork construction is presently still restricted to parts such ⁇ o as hoods, rear trunk lids, inner door parts and various small parts as well as truck cabins, side walls of transporters or attachments to minivans.
  • Overall, worldwide less than 5 % of the metal surface of automobile bodies is made of aluminum. The increased use of aluminum in this sector is being intensively investigated by the aluminum and automobile industries.

  • a second step comprises a treatment with a solution that does not excessively attack the previously formed zinc phosphate layer, and indeed preferably even enhances its corrosion-prevention action, and which simultaneously forms a surface layer on the aluminum surfaces.
  • a two-stage process is thus involved, whose first stage comprises a conventional zinc phosphating.

  • Such zinc phosphating solutions are known in the prior art and are referred to by the way of example hereinafter.
  • solutions with constituents that are effective to form a protective layer on aluminum are used.
  • the nature and concentration of these solutions should be chosen so that on the one hand a layer is reliably formed on the aluminum surfaces, but on the other hand the crystalline zinc phosphation layers formed on the iron and/or zinc surfaces are not excessively damaged.
  • the aim of phosphating metals is to produce firmly adhering metal phosphate layers on the metal surface that per se already improve the corrosion resistance, and in conjunction with paints or other organic coatings contribute to a substantial improvement of the coating adhesion and resistance to creepage under corrosive stress.
  • Such phosphating processes have been known for a long time.
  • low zinc phosphating processes in which the phosphating solutions contain relatively small concentrations of zinc ions, for example 0.5 to 2 grams per liter, hereinafter usually abbreviated as "g/l", are particularly suitable.
  • a basic parameter in these low zinc phosphating baths is the weight ratio of phosphate ions to zinc ions, which is normally above 8 and may reach values of up to 30.
  • phosphate layers with substantially improved corrosion- prevention and paint adhesion properties can be formed by the co-use of other polyvalent cations in the zinc phosphating baths.
  • low zinc processes with the addition of, e.g., 0.5 to 1.5 g/l of manganese ions and, e.g., 0.3 to 2.0 g/l of nickel ions are widely used as so-called "tri-cation" processes for preparing metal surfaces for painting, for example for cathodic electro-dipcoating of car bodies.

In this way it is possible to operate the phosphating baths with zinc concentrations up to 2 g/i and with weight ratios of phosphate to zinc of as low as 3.7.
  • the required hydroxylamine concentration is given as 0.5 to 50 g/l, preferably 1 to 10 g/l.

  • a so-called passivating post-rinsing also termed post-passivation, is generally employed in this technology.
  • Treatment baths containing chromic acid are still widely used for this purpose. For reasons of work safety and environmental protection there is a tendency, however, to replace these chromium-containing passivating baths by chromium-free treatment baths.
  • Organo-reactive bath solutions containing complexing substituted poly- (vinylphenols) are known for this purpose. Examples of such compounds are described in DE-C-31 46 265.

  • the afore- mentioned polymer is included among the "reaction products of poly(vinylphenol) with aldehydes and organic hydroxyi group-containing amines" described below and that can be used within the scope of the present invention.
  • the fluoride ions mask the aluminum ions by complex formation and/or precipitate these ions as hexa-fiuoroaluminates of sodium and/or potassium if the solubility products of the corresponding salts are exceeded. Furthermore free fluoride ions usually lead to an increased etching attack on the aluminum surfaces, with the result that a more or less closed and sealed zinc phosphate layer can form on the latter.
  • the joint phosphating of aluminum structural portions with those of steel and/or galvanized steel thus has the technical disadvantage that the phosphating baths have to be very accurately monitored as regards their fluoride content. This increases the control and monitoring work involved and may require stocking and metering fluoride- containing solutions as separate replenishment solutions. Also, the precipitated hexafluoroaluminate salts increase the amount of phosphating sludge and raise the cost of its removal and disposal.
  • This object is achieved by a process for the chemical pretreatment, before an organic coating, of composite metal structures that contain aluminum or aluminum alloy portions together with steel, galvanized steel and/or alloy-galvanized steel portions, characterized by: (I) treating in a first step the composite metal structure with a zinc phosphating solution that forms on steel and on galvanized and/or alloy-galvanized steel a surface-covering crystalline zinc phosphate layer having a coating weight in the range from 0.5 to 5 g/m 2 , but without forming a zinc phosphate layer on the aluminum portions; and subsequently, with or without intermediate rinsing with water,
  • step (II) contacting in a second step the composite metal structure with a treatment solution that does not dissolve more than, with increasing preference in the order given, 60, 50, 40, 30, 20, 15, 10, 8, or 6 % of the crystalline zinc phosphate layer formed on steel, galvanized and/or alloy-galvanized steel in step (I), but does produce a conversion layer on the aluminum portions.
  • the concentration of free fluoride ions for example, measured in g/l should satisfy the condition that, at a specific temperature T (in °C), it lies above a value of 8/T. Since however within the scope of the present invention no zinc phosphate layer should be formed on aluminum in the phosphating step (I), in contrast to the teaching of EP-B-452 638, at a specific temperature T (in °C) the concentration of free fluoride ions (in g/i) in the phosphating solution must be below 8 T.
  • a zinc phosphating solution which has a pH in the range from about 2.5 to about 3.6 and a temperature in the range from about 20 to about 65 °C, and which does not contain more free fluoride in g/l than is specified by the expression 8/T, "T denoting the bath temperature in °C, is preferably used.
  • this zinc phosphating solution preferably also comprises: 0.3 to 3 g/l of Zn(ll), 5 to 40 g/l of phosphate ions, and at least one of the following accelerators: 0.3 to 4, or more preferably 1 to 4, g/l of chlorate ions,
  • step (I) additionally contains one or more of the following cation concentrations:
  • the zinc concentration is more preferably in the range between about 0.8 and about 1.6 g/l.
  • Such zinc concentrations are adjusted in a working phosphating bath if during the phosphating of galvanized surfaces additional zinc passes into the phosphating bath through its etching action.
  • the man- ganese content may be in the range from about 0.001 to 0.2 g/l. Otherwise manganese contents of about 0.5 to about 1.5 g/l are conventional.
  • lithium ions in amounts of about 0.2 to about 1.5 g l improve the corrosion prevention that can be achieved with zinc phosphating baths.
  • Lithium concentrations in the range from 0.2 to about 1.5 g/i and in particular from about 0.4 to about 1 g/l also have a beneficial effect on the resultant corrosion prevention with the phosphating process according to the invention and subsequent post- treatment.
  • the phosphating baths as a rule also contain sodium, potassium and/or ammonium ions to adjust the free acid.
  • free acid is well known to those skilled in the art in the phosphating field. The method chosen to determine free acid as well as the total acid in this step is specified in the examples. Free acid and total acid represent an important control parameter for phosphating baths, since they have a large influence on the coating weight.
  • accelerators For the phosphating of zinc surfaces it would not be absolutely necessary for the phosphating baths to contain so-called accelerators.
  • phosphating steel surfaces it is, however, necessary for the phosphating solution to contain one or more accelerators.
  • Such accelerators are conventionally used in the prior art as components of zinc phosphating baths.
  • the term accelerators refers to substances that chemically react with the hydrogen produced on the metal surface by the etching action of the acid in such a way that they are themselves reduced.
  • Oxidizing accelerators furthermore have the effect of oxidizing iron(ll) ions released by the etching action on steel surfaces to the trivalent oxidation state, so that they can precipitate out as iron (III) phosphate.
  • step (II) solutions according to the prior art that produce a conversion layer on aluminum may be used. These solutions must not, however, excessively dissolve the crystalline zinc phosphate layer formed in step (I).

Abstract

Dans un procédé de prétraitement chimique, effectué avant de peindre des structures de métal composite renfermant de l'aluminium ou des portions en alliage d'aluminium et d'acier, d'acier galvanisé, et/ou en alliage-acier galvanisé, on traite tout d'abord ladite structure de métal au moyen d'une solution de phosphate de zinc, qui forme une couche de phosphate de zinc cristalline sur la surface de l'acier, de l'acier galvanisé, ou des portions en alliage-acier galvanisé, sans pour autant former une couche de phosphate de zinc sur les portions d'aluminium. Au cours d'une seconde étape, on met ladite structure de métal en contact avec une solution de traitement permettant de ne pas dissoudre excessivement la couche de phosphate de zinc cristalline formée sur l'acier, l'acier galvanisé, et/ou les portions en alliage-acier galvanisé, cette solution étant destinée à former, sur lesdites portions d'aluminium, une couche métallique obtenue par conversion chimique.
