Definitions
- the invention relates to an activation agent based on titanium IV phosphate for the activation of metal surfaces prior to zinc phosphating and its use for the preparation of activation baths.
- zinc phosphate layers can be produced on numerous metallic surfaces, such as iron, steel, galvanized alloy steel, aluminum or aluminized steel.
- the zinc phosphate layers obtained serve to protect against corrosion, paint adhesion, reduction of sliding resistance, relief of cold forming and electrical insulation.
- a phosphating process also includes various pre-treatment and post-treatment stages. It is essential to clean the metal surface, which is generally done with alkaline or acidic cleaners and removes oils, greases, oxides and adhering solid particles from the metal surface. If cleaning is carried out with mildly alkaline cleaners, it is in principle possible to combine cleaning with activation of the metal surface. As a rule, however, the activation follows the cleaning as a separate process step.
- the task of activating the metal surface is to form a with the shortest possible phosphating times to ensure the finest possible crystalline zinc phosphate layer.
- a criterion for the effectiveness of an activating agent is therefore the minimum phosphating time.
- the suitability for forming even finely crystalline zinc phosphate layers can be determined on the basis of the layer weights or by scanning electron microscope images.
- Titan IV phosphates form when aqueous titanium IV salt solutions are reacted with soluble phosphates or phosphoric acid.
- products with activating properties are only obtained under special manufacturing conditions, which are described, for example, in US Pat. Nos. 2,310,239 and 2,456,947 and provide precise information regarding the type and concentration of the raw materials, temperature and pH range during manufacture.
- the reaction conditions are kept constant, fluctuations in the application-technical effects are obtained from batch to batch.
- activation agents based on titanium IV phosphate have to be prepared with deionized water.
- the reason for this is that the alkaline earth metal ions present in the tap water as hardening agents destabilize titanium IV phosphate in activation baths.
- These alkaline earth metal ions can also be introduced into the activation bath by rinsing water.
- DE-A-3731089 proposes to activate cation-exchanging zeolites with a primary particle diameter of ⁇ 3 ⁇ m Mix in titanium phosphate.
- Another way to improve the activation baths is described in EP-B-180523.
- the addition of phosphonic acid acting as a complexing agent into the activation bath permits the use of industrial water for the bath preparation.
- the phosphonic acid is said to cause the zinc phosphate layer to become extremely fine crystalline.
- a serious disadvantage of individual phosphonic acids, however, is that they act as a phosphating bath poison even in concentrations of a few mg / l. An entry of phosphonic acid from the activation bath into the phosphating bath can render the phosphating bath unusable in a very short time.
- DE-A-3814287 provides for the addition of poly (aldehyde carboxylic acids) in substoichiometric amounts as complexing agents for titanium IV during the production of activating titanium IV phosphates.
- the introduction of the poly (aldehyde carboxylic acids) into the phosphating bath can have considerable disadvantages.
- the object of the invention is an activation agent based on titanium IV phosphate for the activation of To provide metal surfaces before zinc phosphating, which does not have the disadvantages of the known activating agents, is easy to manufacture and, when used in the preparation of activating baths, leads to stable activating baths with a long service life, which also guarantee the formation of fine crystalline zinc phosphate layers in a short time.
- the copper content was adjusted by adding copper compounds. These compounds have the effect that the minimum phosphating time is reduced considerably.
- the addition of copper also means that the activation bath is stable over a wide temperature range and shows very good activating properties.
- the activating agent contains copper compounds introduced via copper hydroxide, copper oxide hydrate, copper tartrate, copper nitrate and / or copper phosphate. Copper sulfate or copper chloride can be used but are not preferred.
- Another advantageous embodiment of the invention consists in formulating an activating agent that contains an additional content of at least one of the components has condensed phosphate, silicate, complexing agent, water-soluble organic polymer, thickener and surfactant.
- the additional additives to the activating agent mentioned here provide a number of additional advantageous properties when used as an activating bath.
- the addition of condensed phosphate to the activating agent has the effect that the activating bath produced therefrom reacts less sensitively to introduced hardness formers.
- Water-soluble organic polymer stabilizes the titanium IV phosphate dispersed in the activation bath in colloidal form and thus extends the service life of the activation bath considerably.
- Surfactants reduce the surface tension, so that the activating titanium phosphate adheres better to the metal surface.
- the activating agent contains 0.1 to 4% by weight of titanium phosphate (calculated as Ti).
- activating agent for the preparation of aqueous activating baths for the activation of iron, steel, galvanized steel, galvanized alloy steel, aluminized steel and aluminum before the zinc phosphating takes place in such a way that activating baths with contents 0.001 to 0.060 g / l Ti 0.020 to 1.2 g / l o-phosphate (calculated as P2O5) and 0.001 to 0.1 g / l Cu with a pH of 7 to 11, preferably 7.5 to 10, result.
- Copper concentrations above 0.1 g / l should be avoided as they can lead to a disruption in the phosphating in the subsequent step.
- the activating agents can also be incorporated into ready-to-use, aqueous alkaline cleaning baths or else into aqueous-liquid or solid concentrates which are diluted with water to produce the cleaning baths. Because of its easy dilutability, the production of a liquid cleaner / activating agent is particularly advantageous.
- alkaline cleaners for example, one or more compounds from the group of carbonates, silicates, phosphates, borates, hydroxides, hydroxycarboxylic acids and organic polymers such as sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3), sodium carbonate (Na2CO3), sodium metasilicate anhydrous (Na2SiO3), sodium disilicate (Na2Si2O5), sodium silicate, disodium phosphate (Na2HPO4), sodium tripolyphosphate (Na5P3O12B), sodium oxoateon, sodium borate Na sodium borate Bor , the trisodium salt of nitrilotriacetic acid, phenolsulfonic acid or naphthalenesulfonic acid-formaldehyde condensation products or - because of the better solubility in water - the corresponding potassium compounds.
- NaHCO3 sodium carbonate
- Na2CO3 sodium carbonate
- Na2SiO3 sodium metasilicate anhydrous
- Alkaline cleaners or the alkaline cleaner concentrates usually contain surfactants.
- Particularly suitable surfactants are anionic or nonionic surfactants, such as Sodium alkylbenzenesulfonates, sodium alkylsulfonates, alkylphenol polyethylene glycol ethers, alkylphenol polyethylene glycol polypropylene glycol ethers, alkyl polyethylene glycol ethers, alkylamine-polyethylene glycol abducts or block copolymers of ethylene oxide and propylene oxide.
- the surfactant content is about 0.5 to 10%, preferably 0.5 to 4%.
- thickeners preferably polymers of natural origin
- Suitable polymers are, for example, polypeptides such as gelatin, or polysaccharides such as starch, xanthan or dextrins.
- the polymer is expediently first completely dissolved in water and then the various detergent components. Then, if necessary, the surfactants are dissolved or finely dispersed with vigorous stirring, and the activating agent is added last.
- activating alkaline cleaner concentrate between 0 and 35 ° C is stable for several months and pumpable.
- An activating agent was produced as described in the activating agent 1 process, but without the addition of copper nitrate.
- activating agent was produced which corresponded to activating agent 2 in terms of composition, but did not contain any copper phosphate.
- Activating agent 1 was used as activating agent 3, to which maleic anhydride copolymer was added in such a way that the resulting activating bath contained 10 mg / l.
- Activating agent 1 which was mixed with surfactant in such quantities that the surfactant concentration of 0.3 g / l was formed when the activation bath was prepared, also served as the starting product.
- the degree of layer coverage was determined in percent. This value indicates the proportion of the metal surface that is provided with a closed zinc phosphate layer. The assessment was made visually. Furthermore, the layer weight of the phosphate coating was determined gravimetrically and the minimum phosphating times determined. The Minimum phosphating time is the minimum time required to form a closed phosphate layer. The crystallinity of the phosphate layers was checked using scanning electron microscope images at a magnification of 2000 times.
- the activating agent according to the invention according to Examples 1, 2, 3 and 4 leads to a high, almost complete coverage of the metal surface after only 3 minutes of phosphating time or enables short treatment times in the subsequent phosphating step.
- the weight of the phosphate layer is well within the usual range.
- the results for the activating agents 3 and 4 show that the addition of maleic anhydride copolymer or of surfactant, if the short minimum phosphating time (cf. activating agent 1) is observed, leads to a considerable increase in the service life of the activating bath.
- the investigations with the scanning electron microscope showed that the phosphate layers obtained using the activating agents according to the invention were of fine-grained nature.
