Definitions
- the present invention relates to a process for the preparation of corrosion resistant zinc and zinc nickel deposits on linear or complex shaped parts, usually made of steel.
- the deposition according to the present invention consists of a two step deposition, wherein a layer of zinc from an alkaline zinc bath and a layer of zinc nickel alloy deposited from an acid bath is deposited.
- Such coated substrates possess a similar corrosion protection and similar thickness distribution as zinc nickel coated parts deposited from an alkaline zinc nickel electrolyte with the advantage of not using high concentrations of amines or ammonia as strong complexing agents and not forming cyanide while at the same time providing reasonable post-forming capability.
- Substrates to be plated either have a linear shape (like window frames) or complex shapes (like lock housings). These kind of parts are preferably plated from an alkaline electrolyte as the current efficiency in the high current density area (on the end of linear parts or at the edges of complex shaped parts) is reduced by using special polymeric inhibitors. Due to this fact the deposited coating exhibits a very homogeneous thickness distribution over the entire component surface and also provides excellent corrosion protection.
- Such bath usually contain zinc ions, nickel ions and poly(alkyleneimines) obtained from ethyleneimine, 1,2-propyleneimine, 1,2-butyleneimine and 1,1-dimethylethyleneimine.
- the poly(alkyleneimines) may have molecular weights of from about 100 to about 100,000.
- US 6,652,728 discloses a zinc and zinc alloy bath which contains zinc ions, hydroxide ions, optionally nickel ions and a polymer having the following formula: Wherein m has a value of 2 or 3, n has a value of at least 2; R 1 , R 2 , R 3 , which may be the same or different, each independently denote methyl, ethyl or hydroxyethyl; p has a value in the range from 3 to 12; and X - denotes chloride, bromide and/or iodide.
- Such bath is suitable for depositing alkaline zinc deposits.
- the zinc-nickel coating contains a gamma-phase zinc-nickel alloy. This is realized with a nickel content of an average of 15 %. However, this coating is significantly less ductile than pure zinc coatings.
- GB 2 294 949 A relates to anti-corrosive multilayer-plated steel materials, e.g. plates, pipes, joints, clamps, bolts and nuts made of two zinc-nickel alloy layers, wherein the first zinc-nickel layer is deposited from an acidic plating bath and the second zinc-nickel layer is deposited from an alkaline plating bath.
- the disadvantage of using an alkaline zinc-nickel bath as described above cannot be avoided by using such a layer sequence.
- DE 31 29 129 A1 relates to a method for the multi-stage electrodeposition of very bright, strongly adhering zinc coatings employing alkaline cyanide-free baths for the top layer, characterised in that a zinc, nickel, tin, copper and/or cadmium layer is first deposited, followed by deposition on this layer of a zinc layer.
- a process is provided wherein the homogeneous coating thickness and ductility is provided by a pure zinc layer also providing corrosion protection and the very high corrosion protection particularly regarding red rust is provided by a subsequent zinc-nickel, which is deposited from an acid electrolyte and which does not contain high concentrations of amines or ammonia.
- the pure zinc layer is deposited on the metal substrate and the zinc nickel layer is deposited on the zinc layer:
- Such process for the preparation of corrosion resistant substrate comprises the steps of
- the thickness of the zinc layer typically is between 1 - 12 ⁇ m, preferably between 2 - 8 ⁇ m, and more preferably 4-6 ⁇ m.
- the thickness of the zinc nickel layer typically is between 1 - 12 ⁇ m, preferably between 2 - 8 ⁇ m, and more preferably 4-6 ⁇ m.
- the alkaline zinc electrolyte preferably has the following composition:
- Brightening additives are used depending on the demand of the optical aspect. Such brightening agents are well known in the art and for example described in US 6,652,728 .
- Acid zinc nickel electrolytes are known in the art and for example described in US 4,699,696 .
- Such acid zinc-nickel electrolytes solutions contain zinc ions and nickel Ions, and an additive agent of a class selected from the group consisting of (a) aromatic sulfonic acids, (b) aromatic sulfonamides, sulfonimides and mixed carboxamides/sulfonamides, (c) acetylene alcohols.
- Solutions for passivating zinc and zinc alloy surfaces are known and for example described in EP 1 484 432 .
- Such solutions typically contain a water soluble Cr(III)-salt in a concentration of 0.5-80 g/l, preferably 1-40 g/l, more preferably 1-10 g/l.
- the pH of such solution is 0.8 - 4.0 and the temperature 10-80°C.
- the passivate solution can contain additional metals such as cobalt, nickel, zinc, iron, zircon, titanium, aluminium, silver, copper, pigments.
- Optional additional components contain silicates, nitrates, phosphates, fluorides and polymer resins.
- the zinc plated surface is immersed in the passivation solution, rinsed and thereafter optionally treated at elevated temperatures of 100 to 250°C for 10 to 300 minutes.
- coatings are obtained by electroplating in zinc and an acid zinc-nickel electrolytes. Thickness distribution was tested according to the following test procedure:
- Comparative Example 1 Deposition of a pure zinc layer from an alkaline zinc plating bath
- an alkaline zinc electrolyte which contains zinc ions in an amount of 10 g/l, 120 g/l NaOH, 0.5 g/l polymeric inhibitor according to Example 2.1 of US 6,652,728 and a brightening additive, the composition of which is described in US 6,652,728 , is filled into a Hull cell.
- Zinc is used as anode material.
- the cathode steel panel will be deposited for 15 minutes at 1 A. The temperature is 28°C. The panel is rinsed and dried.
- the thickness distribution is measured at 2 positions on the panel: 3 cm of the lower edge and 2.5 cm of the right and left edge of the panel at high (app. 2.8 A/dm 2 ) and low current density (app 0.5 A/dm 2 ).
- the thickness of the coating is measured four times at the two positions to avoid measuring mistakes.
- Comparative Example 2 Deposition of a zinc nickel layer from a commercially available alkaline zinc nickel plating bath
- composition of the bath acidic zinc nickel plating bath was as follows: ZnCl 2 0.3 M/l NiCl 2 0.5 M/l KCI 2.7 M/l H 3 BO 3 0.3 M/l aromatic sulfonamide 1.1 g/l acetylenic alcohol 0.02 g/l sodium acetate 0.7 M/l alkylene oxide polymer 1.1 g/l sulfosuccinate-alkyl diester 1.1 g/l
- Plating is with 1 A for 15 minutes plating at a temperature of 35°C in the Hull cell.
- Table 1 Thickness distribution for different plated layers hcd lcd hcd : lcd Comp.
- Example 1 4.1 micron 2.8 micron 1.5 Comp.
- Example 2 5.5 micron 1.8 micron 3
- Example 3 8.1 micron 2.2 micron 3.7
- Example 4 (invention) 6.1 micron 2.6 micron 2.4
- the plated thickness for the same plating time and current clearly shows that higher thicknesses and better thickness distributions - represented by the high current density (hcd) to low current density (lcd) thickness ration - can be achieved with the two layer sequence of the present invention according to Example 4 compared to the alkaline zinc nickel process Reflectalloy ZNA (Comparative Example 2). 20% higher thickness is obtained in the low current density regime.
- Comparative Example 2 600 Vicker's Hardness at 50 mN
- Example 4 525 Vicker's Hardness at 50 mN
- the grain size in the zinc nickel layer also influences the ductility of the coating. With increasing grain size the ductility of the coating is increasing. A good compromise between grain size and current density is observed at a value of 2 A/dm 2 .
- Corrosion protection of the coatings obtained according to Example 4 was evaluated in DIN 50021 neutral salt spray exposure and found >240 h to first appearance of white corrosion and >1000 h to substrate corrosion.
- gamma-phase ZnNi from the acid zinc nickel obtained by Example 4 was confirmed by XRD. Such phase exhibits very good corrosion resistance.
- the deposit shows a homogeneous alloy composition over a wide range of current density.
- the gamma phase zinc-nickel layer is consistently obtained even on complex shaped parts, as confirmed by X-ray diffraction.
