Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a process for the electrodeposition of metal layers on magnesium or magnesium alloy surfaces.
  • Magnesium has been increasingly used in the automotive and commercial aircraft and electronics industries in recent years and decades. Especially in the production of high quality products, magnesium or magnesium alloys are used to save weight.
  • magnesium or magnesium alloys have the advantage over other light metals to have excellent casting properties, so that both injection and die castings can be made from appropriate magnesium alloys or magnesium with very good strength properties.
  • the production of components by means of magnesium injection molding seems to be of greater interest in the future, especially in the automotive industry. In the injection molding of magnesium or magnesium alloys, these are not heated to complete melting, but only heated to about 100 ° below the melting point. Here then a thixotropic state of magnesium is reached, in which it can be injection-molded accordingly.
  • the substrates produced by means of appropriate casting processes generally have to be surface-treated. This can on the one hand serve the corrosion protection of the magnesium or magnesium alloy surface, on the other hand can be correspondingly shiny or matt decorative surfaces are produced by deposition of metal layers on the surface.
  • anodising methods, plasma methods or conversion coatings such as, for example, chromating are currently being offered on the market in addition to conventional galvanic coating methods such as the deposition of copper, nickel, chromium, tin and the like.
  • galvanic coating processes are suitable for use on decorative surfaces.
  • the anodization methods and conversion coatings mentioned above merely serve as corrosion protection and are the basis for a subsequent coating, for example by painting.
  • a fundamental problem in the coating of magnesium or magnesium alloys is the oxide film forming on the substrate surface, which must be removed in the prior art by appropriate pretreatments.
  • pretreatments by means of an ammonium chloride-containing phosphoric acid solution are known from the cited prior art for the removal of the oxide layer.
  • the magnesium or magnesium alloy surfaces to be coated are activated with hydrochloric acid.
  • Magnesium alloys commonly used in the industry are those of types AZ31 to AZ91, where AZ is the alloyed aluminum and zinc, and the trailing number indicates how high the proportion of this alloy in magnesium is.
  • This object is achieved by a process for the galvanic coating of magnesium or magnesium alloy surfaces, which is characterized in that the surfaces to be coated during the entire coating process until complete coverage with a metal layer of the deposited metal are brought into contact exclusively with process solutions and rinse solutions which have a pH ⁇ pH 7, preferably ⁇ pH 8.
  • magnesium is prevented from being dissolved out of the surface of the substrates to be coated. This also reduces the need for levelers, as it exists, for example, in the case of galvanic coating, in particular of high-alloy magnesium alloys such as, for example, AZ91.
  • the cleaning of the substrate to be coated can be done by means of a hot degreasing.
  • the substrate to be cleaned is treated at a temperature of about 70-80 ° C for 10 minutes with a suitable degreaser solution.
  • the combination of different degreasers is provided in particular, the selection of the degreasers to be used being effected as a function of the contaminants present on the substrates or substrate surfaces to be coated.
  • the degreasers to be used are alkaline degreasers.
  • Kavitec modulus or eductor nozzles can be provided according to the invention.
  • Kavitec systems are high-pressure water nozzles that support cleaning by cavitation effects.
  • the substrate surface is treated with an alkaline, cyanide-free adhesive dressing.
  • a Haftbeize is a Zinkatbeize, which in addition to sodium pyrophosphate (Na 4 P 2 O 7 x 10 H 2 O) zinc sulfate, sodium carbonate and sodium chloride suitable wetting agents for reducing the surface tension of Zinkatbeize.
  • the described zincate pickling to be used according to the invention has a pH value determined photometrically at 30 ° C. in the range between pH 10 and 11, preferably in the range between pH 10 and 10.5.
  • the substrate surface to be treated of the magnesium or magnesium alloy substrate to be coated is contacted with the zincate stain at a temperature between 60 and 80 ° C, preferably between 65 and 75 ° C.
  • the exposure time is between 5 and 15 minutes, preferably between 9 and 11 minutes.
  • zincate stain 100-300 g / l sodium pyrophosphate ⁇ 10 H 2 O 25-75 g / l zinc sulfate x 7 H 2 O. 3 - 6 g / l sodium carbonate 2 - 5 g / l sodium chloride 0,5 - 3 g / l wetting agent
  • a wetting agent known as Nonpitter 62 A or a wetting agent known as EnPREP TTM WA can advantageously be used as wetting agent.
  • combinations of different wetting agents can be used.
  • the surface tension of the zincate pickling used according to the invention is ⁇ 55 mN / m.
  • the specified surface tension is determined as the dynamic surface tension by means of a bubble pressure tensiometer.
  • the bubble life for this determination is ⁇ 500 ms.
  • a suitable measuring instrument for determining the dynamic surface tension is the Scienceline T60 from Sita-Messtechnik GmbH.
  • a first metal layer is then deposited on the surface to be coated in the inventive method described here by way of example, with the optional interposition of a rinsing step Substrate surface.
  • a rinsing step Substrate surface.
  • different electrodeposited metal layers such as copper, nickel or chrome layers may be provided.
  • the substrate surface of the magnesium or magnesium alloy substrate to be coated with a zincate layer in the manner described above is contacted with a cyanide bright copper electrolyte, for example, a CUPRALYTE 1545 electrolyte from Enthone Inc. at a temperature between 40 and 55 ° C.
  • a current density between 0.5 and 2.0 A / dm 2 is set.
  • a lower current density is to be provided than when using copper pieces in corresponding anode baskets.
  • the voltage to be applied is in a range between 2.0 and 12.0 volts, depending on the anodes used and the substrates or substrate surfaces to be coated.
  • the cyanide copper electrolyte used in the embodiment of the process according to the invention described here has a photometrically determined pH in the range between pH 11.0 and pH 12.0.
  • the concentration of copper in the copper electrolyte to be used according to the invention is between 20 g / l and 50 g / l.
  • the concentration of free potassium cyanide in the cyanide copper electrolyte to be used here is between 20 g / l and 35 g / l.
  • the electrolyte has a maximum potassium carbonate of 120 g / l.
  • the density of an electrolyte as described above is about 1.15 g / cm 3 .
  • this can be supplemented according to the invention with copper (1) cyanide in order to replace the copper from the electrolyte consumption.
  • copper (1) cyanide in order to replace the copper from the electrolyte consumption.
  • a metered addition of potassium cyanide in the order of about 2 g per g of copper supplemented can be provided in the electrolyte used here.
  • copper layers can be deposited at a deposition rate of the order of about 0.4 ⁇ m / min at a set current density of 1 A / dm 2 .
  • the deposited copper layers are adherent and show a uniform gloss.
  • metal layers can be applied to the thus deposited copper layers, the subsequent deposition of metal layers in both acidic and alkaline coating electrolytes being possible, insofar as the underlying magnesium or magnesium alloy layer is completely covered by a corresponding copper layer.
