Problems solved by technology

Traditional pretreatment technologies such as chromate passivation and phosphate conversion are not friendly to the environment. For example, hexavalent chromium ions are highly toxic, and phosphate will lead to eutrophication of water bodies.

Embodiment 1

[0026] The 2024 aluminum alloy electrode sheet is subjected to electrostatic sanding of No. 80, 120, and 400 in turn, and mechanically polished with No. 14 metallographic sandpaper. It is placed in a 60°C degreasing solution for 5 minutes, and then ultrasonicated at 60°C for 10 minutes. Finally, tap water is used sequentially. After cleaning the electrode with deionized water, quickly dry it with hot air, and place it in a dry box for 24 hours before use.

[0027] Add 50mL of absolute ethanol, 50mL of water, 3mL of tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) to the beaker in turn, adjust the pH to about 3.0 with HCl, stir at room temperature for 2~3h and set aside. Add the prepared precursor solution into the three-electrode tank, use the 2024 aluminum alloy electrode as the working electrode, Ag / AgCl as the reference electrode, platinum as the counter electrode, control the potential at -1.5V, and set the deposition time to 300s. After rinsing with deionized water, dry at 40°C to obtain ...

Embodiment 2

[0033]The specific implementation steps are as in Example 1, the subsequent protective layer is changed, and the DTMS silane film is replaced with an epoxy coating. The ratio of the epoxy coating solution is: the mass ratio of epoxy resin, polyamide resin, solvent (n-butanol:xylene volume ratio = 3:7) = 5:4:8. Brush the epoxy solution on the pretreated aluminum alloy substrate, and place it at 40°C for one week to cure. The thickness of the resulting coating is about 40±2 μm.

[0034] In addition to using EIS technology to test under different soaking times in 3.5wt% NaCl aqueous solution ( image 3 ), the evaluation of the coating also adopts the method of accelerated experiment, that is, the boiling water immersion test: put the metal / coating system in boiling deionized water, after 8 hours, stop boiling, take out the sample, and observe the onset of the coating Blistering and delamination. Table 2 lists the low-frequency impedance modulus and boiling water test results o...

Embodiment 3

[0039] The specific implementation steps are as in Example 1, changing the substrate to low-carbon steel. The difference is that the low-carbon steel substrate does not need to be sanded, and the degreasing step is directly performed. In addition to the evaluation of the protective layer by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, damp heat experiments are also used for accelerated evaluation. The latter is carried out in a constant temperature and humidity chamber with a controlled temperature of 40°C and a humidity of 90%, and the corrosion status of the sample surface is regularly observed. The specific test results are listed in Table 3.

Abstract

The invention discloses a metal surface coating method and an application thereof. An inert, porous nano-oxide film is deposited firstly on a metal substrate by an electrodeposition method, and then a protective layer is covered on the surface. The nano-oxide film is prepared on a metal surface by precursor aqueous solutions of SiO2, TiO2 or ZrO2 through an electrodeposition method. The protective layer used for covering is a commonly-used organosilane film, inorganic / organic hybridized silane film or common organic coating. The metal surface coating and protecting technology provided by the invention has a simple process, low cost, is especially green and environment-friendly, has wide adaptability, and almost has no selectivity for the types of the metal substrate or subsequent protective layers. The nano-oxide film pretreatment layer prepared by electrodeposition has good bonding force with the metal substrate, high surface energy, a rough and porous surface, and large specific surface area, and thus can tightly bond with the subsequent covering layer, which greatly improves the corrosion resistance of the whole protective layer.

Description

Technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a metal protection method, in particular to a metal surface coating method and its application. Background technique [0002] As we all know, in nature, except for a small amount of precious inert metals (gold, platinum, etc.), most other metals and their alloys are prone to corrosion under natural conditions, and generally require protective treatment to improve their corrosion resistance before use. performance and extended service life. Among them, metal surface coating technology based on organic coating is the most widely used and has the best effect. The coating system of metal surfaces includes metal surface pretreatment layers and subsequent protective layers. Traditional pretreatment technologies such as chromate passivation and phosphate conversion are not friendly to the environment. For example, hexavalent chromium ions are highly toxic and phosphates can cause eutrophication of water bodies. With the risi...
