Description

Die Erfindung betrifft alkalisch-cyanidische Bäder zur galvanischen Abscheidung blanker bis glänzender, eingeebneter Kupfer-Zinn-Legierungsüberzüge, die 1 bis 60 g/l Kupfer in Form von Kupfer(I)-cyanid, 1 bis 50 g/l Zinn in Form von Alkalistannat, 0 bis 10 g/l Zink in Form von Zinkcyanid, 0,1 bis 200 g/l eines oder mehrerer Komplexbildner, 1 bis 100 g/l freies Alkalicyanid, 1 bis 50 g/l freies Alkalihydroxid, 0 bis 50 g/l Alkalicarbonat, 0,01 bis 5 g/l Glanzmittel und 0 bis 100 mg/l Blei als Blei(II)-acetat oder Blei(II)-sulfonat enthalten.The invention relates to alkaline cyanide baths for the electrodeposition of bright to shiny, leveled copper-tin alloy coatings, the 1 to 60 g / l copper in the form of copper (I) cyanide, 1 to 50 g / l tin in the form of alkali tannate , 0 to 10 g / l zinc in the form of zinc cyanide, 0.1 to 200 g / l of one or more complexing agents, 1 to 100 g / l free alkali metal cyanide, 1 to 50 g / l free alkali metal hydroxide, 0 to 50 g / l Contain alkali carbonate, 0.01 to 5 g / l brightener and 0 to 100 mg / l lead as lead (II) acetate or lead (II) sulfonate.

In der dekorativen Oberflächentechnik benötigt man Bäder, die die Oberfläche der Unterlage gleichmäßig und konturengetreu beschichten und eventuelle Unebenheiten des Substrats ausgleichen (Einebnung). Außerdem müssen sie wahlweise einen matten, seidenmatten oder brillanten Glanz erzeugen. Diese Anforderungen werden vor allem von galvanischen Nickelbädern erfüllt, sowohl für die Abscheidung von Nickelschichten als Endauflage als auch als Unterbau vor einer anschließenden Beschichtung mit Edelmetallen. Nachteilig ist allerdings, daß Nickel auf einen beträchtlichen Teil der Bevölkerung allergisierend wirkt.In decorative surface technology, you need baths that coat the surface of the underlay evenly and true to the contours and compensate for any unevenness in the substrate (leveling). In addition, they must either produce a matt, silk matt or brilliant shine. These requirements are primarily met by galvanic nickel baths, both for the deposition of nickel layers as a final layer and as a substructure before a subsequent coating with precious metals. However, it is disadvantageous that nickel has an allergic effect on a considerable part of the population.

Es ist seit vielen Jahren bekannt, Kupfer-Zinn-Überzüge aus galvanischen Bädern abzuscheiden. Insbesondere verwendet man Überzüge, die 45 bis 60 % Kupfer enthalten, da diese einen hellen Silberglanz besitzen und nicht zum Anlaufen neigen, oder auch Überzüge, die 75 bis 85 % Kupfer aufweisen, da diese eine gelbe bis goldgelbe Farbe besitzen.It has been known for many years to deposit copper-tin coatings from galvanic baths. In particular, coatings are used which contain 45 to 60% copper, since these have a light silver luster and do not tend to tarnish, or coatings which have 75 to 85% copper, since they have a yellow to golden yellow color.

Erstere finden daher Verwendung in der dekorativen Galvanotechnik als Ersatz für beispielsweise Silber, Nickel, Chrom oder Aluminium. Wegen ihrer sehr guten Löteigenschaften, ihrer Abriebbeständigkeit, ihres Korrosionswiderstandes und ihres niedrigen elektrischen Übergangswiderstandes finden Kupfer-Zinn-Überzüge aber auch steigende technische Anwendung auf anderen Gebieten.The former are therefore used in decorative electroplating to replace, for example, silver, nickel, chromium or aluminum. Because of their very good soldering properties, their abrasion resistance, their corrosion resistance and their low electrical contact resistance, copper-tin coatings are also used increasingly in technical fields.

Letztere finden vorwiegend in der dekorativen Galvanotechnik Verwendung als Ersatz für Messing und als Unterschicht vor einer galvanischen Vergoldung. Schichten aus Kupfer-Zinn-Legierungen bewirken keine bekannten Allergien auf der menschlichen Haut.The latter are mainly used in decorative electroplating as a replacement for brass and as an underlayer before electroplating. Copper-tin alloy layers do not cause any known allergies on human skin.

Kupfer-Zinn-Legierungen werden überwiegend aus alkalischen, cyanidhaltigen Elektrolyten abgeschieden, die Kupfer als Kupfer(I)-cyanid und Zinn als Natriumstannat enthalten. Andere Elektrolyte enthalten Phosphat und/oder Polyphosphat als Komplexbildner und außerdem Kolloide, wie z.B. Polypeptide als Glanzzusätze (DE-PS 860 300). Diese bekannten Bäder müssen bei hohen, konstanten Temperaturen (65o C und höher) betrieben werden, um gleichmäßige Schichten konstanter Zusammensetzung zu erhalten. Das Arbeiten mit diesen Bädern ist daher schwierig und umständlich.Copper-tin alloys are mainly deposited from alkaline, cyanide-containing electrolytes that contain copper as copper (I) cyanide and tin as sodium stannate. Other electrolytes contain phosphate and / or polyphosphate as complexing agents and also colloids, such as polypeptides as gloss additives (DE-PS 860 300). These well-known baths must be operated at high, constant temperatures (65 o C and higher) in order to obtain uniform layers of constant composition. Working with these baths is therefore difficult and cumbersome.

Die Kupfer-Zinnbäder können auch Zinksalze enthalten, wodurch einige Prozente Zink mit abgeschieden werden.The copper-tin baths can also contain zinc salts, which means that a few percent of zinc is also separated.

Es sind neuerdings Kupfer-Zinn-Legierungsbäder bekanntgeworden (DE-PS 33 39 541), die neben Kupfercyanid, Alkalistannat, Phosphaten, freiem Alkalicyanid und freiem Alkalihydroxid als Komplexbildner noch organische Substanzen in Form von Fettsäure-imido-alkyl-dialkyl-aminoxide, Fettsäure-amido-alkyl-dialkylamin-betaine und/oder äthoxylierte Naphthole und als Glanzbildner Polyäthylendiamine, Benzaldehyde, Äthinole und/oder Benzylpyridincarboxylate enthalten. Auch diese Bäder bedürfen einer Überwachung des freien Cyanid- und Hydroxidgehaltes. Außerdem wirken sie nur schwach einebnend. Das gleiche gilt für Kupfer-Zinn-Legierungsbäder, die als Komplexbildner 3 bis 12 g/l Monosaccharide enthalten (Pat. Abstr. of Japan, C-122 Sept. 2, 1982, Vol. 6/No. 169, Jp 57-82492).Copper-tin alloy baths have recently become known (DE-PS 33 39 541) which, in addition to copper cyanide, alkali tannate, phosphates, free alkali metal cyanide and free alkali metal hydroxide as complexing agents, also include organic substances in the form of fatty acid-imido-alkyl-dialkylamine oxides, fatty acid -amido-alkyl-dialkylamine-betaine and / or ethoxylated naphthols and as brighteners contain polyethylenediamines, benzaldehydes, ethynols and / or benzylpyridine carboxylates. These baths also require monitoring of the free cyanide and hydroxide content. In addition, they have a weak leveling effect. The same applies to copper-tin alloy baths which contain 3 to 12 g / l monosaccharides as complexing agents (Pat. Abstr. Of Japan, C-122 Sept. 2, 1982, Vol. 6 / No. 169, Jp 57-82492 ).

Es war daher Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, cyanidisch-alkalische Bäder zur galvanischen Abscheidung von Kupfer-Zinn-Legierungsüberzügen gemäß Oberbegriff von Anspruch 1 zu entwickeln, die einebnend wirken und bei denen die Überzugszusammensetzung weniger stark von Schwankungen der Badbestandteile abhängig ist. Außerdem sollten die Schichten glänzend sein.It was therefore an object of the present invention to develop cyanide-alkaline baths for the electrodeposition of copper-tin alloy coatings according to the preamble of claim 1, which have a leveling effect and in which the coating composition is less dependent on fluctuations in the bath components. The layers should also be shiny.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß die Bäder als Komplexbildner Oligosaccharide und/oder Polysaccharide in Mengen von 1 bis 200 g/l und zusätzlich noch 0,01 bis 5 g/l eines oder mehrere Glanzmittel enthalten, ausgewählt aus einer oder mehrerer der folgenden Gruppen:

Besonders bewährt haben sich Oligosaccharide auf Pentose- und Hexose-Basis.Oligosaccharides based on pentose and hexose have proven particularly useful.

Vorzugsweise enthalten die Bäder 50 bis 150 g/l dieser Oligosaccharide.The baths preferably contain 50 to 150 g / l of these oligosaccharides.

Bäder dieser Zusammensetzung sind wenig empfindlich gegen Schwankungen im Hydroxid- und Cyanidgehalt. Die aus solchen Bädern abgeschiedenen Überzüge sind blank und glänzend. Außerdem ist der zur Erzielung gleichmäßiger Schichten anwendbare Stromdichtebereich mit 1 bis 3 A/dm² relativ gering. Vorzugsweise enthalten die Bäder 0,5 bis 1,5 g/l dieser Glanzmittel.Baths of this composition are not very sensitive to fluctuations in the hydroxide and cyanide content. The coatings deposited from such baths are shiny and shiny. In addition, the current density range of 1 to 3 A / dm² that can be used to achieve uniform layers is relatively small. The baths preferably contain 0.5 to 1.5 g / l of this gloss agent.

Als Glanzmittel haben sich aus der Gruppe a) z.B. Allylsufonat, Vinylsulfonat, aus der Gruppe b) Propinsulfonat und Butinsulfonat, aus der Gruppe c) 1-(3-sulfopropyl)-2-vinyl-Pyridinium-betain, 4-Methyl-1-(3-sulfopropyl)-Pyridinium-betain, 4-Benzyl-1-(3-sulfopropyl)-pyridinium-betain, und aus der Gruppe d) S-Isothiuronium-3-Propansulfonat, o-Ethyl-dithiokohlensäure-(3-sulfopropyl)-ester Kaliumsalz bewährt.From group a), e.g. Allylsufonate, vinyl sulfonate, from group b) propyne sulfonate and butyne sulfonate, from group c) 1- (3-sulfopropyl) -2-vinyl-pyridinium betaine, 4-methyl-1- (3-sulfopropyl) pyridinium betaine, 4-Benzyl-1- (3-sulfopropyl) pyridinium betaine, and from group d) S-isothiuronium-3-propanesulfonate, o-ethyl-dithiocarbonic acid (3-sulfopropyl) -ester potassium salt.

Die Bäder sind weniger abhängig von Schwankungen der Badbestandteile. Die Überzüge lösen keine bekannten Allergien aus und können daher auch Nickelüberzüge ersetzen.The baths are less dependent on fluctuations in the bath components. The coatings do not trigger any known allergies and can therefore also replace nickel coatings.

Die erfindungsgemäßen Bäder können mit unlöslichen Anoden betrieben werden, wie z.B. mit Graphitanoden.The baths according to the invention can be operated with insoluble anodes, e.g. with graphite anodes.
