TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of metal surface protection, and particularly relates to a metal oxide layer removal solution and a preparation method and removal method thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] A layer of oxide is formed on the surface of a metal part in a natural environment or during machining and heat treatment, and the main components include any one or more of ferric oxide, ferrous oxide, chromium oxide, silicon oxide, manganese oxide, calcium oxide, magnesium oxide, zinc oxide, copper oxide, phosphorus oxide, and sulfur oxide. Before surface treatment such as electroplating, anodizing, oxidation, or passivation, the naturally formed oxide or the scale produced during heat treatment needs to be removed from the surface of the part to obtain a fresh substrate and improve the adhesion of the surface treatment layer.
[0003] Currently, existing processes usually use sandblasting and / or pickling to remove the oxide / scale. However, sandblasting has the disadvantages of high noise, much dust, and unevenness for special-shaped parts. The pickling solution mainly includes hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid, and corrosion inhibitors and surfactants, which have the disadvantages of large smoke, poor safety, strong corrosion, and hydrogen permeation, which destroys the mechanical properties of the substrate. Especially for high-strength steel (heat treatment strength > 1300 MPa), hydrogen embrittlement is easily produced in an acidic environment. Therefore, the use of pickling methods to remove oxides is not allowed, and only sandblasting can be used. However, for high-strength precision-sized parts, sandblasting easily leads to part rejection due to over-dimensioning, which restricts the manufacturing of parts and cannot meet the use requirements.
[0004] The existing Chinese patent CN201910680837.8 discloses a neutral remover for high-temperature scale and a preparation method thereof. The remover includes alkyne alcohol 5-9 parts, plant surfactant dispersant 9-12 parts, reducing agent 10-18 parts, chelating agent 17-34 parts, pH adjuster 2-3 parts, and the rest is deionized water. The alkyne alcohol, plant surfactant, reducing agent, and chelating agent synergistically act. However, the oxide removal rate of this method is slow, the applicable range is narrow, and it is only suitable for the scale produced by high-strength steel at high temperature.
[0005] The existing Chinese patent CN200910094920.3 discloses an acid pickling method before steel electroplating, which removes the rust layer and scale on the surface of steel before electroplating. The weight percentage composition of the pickling solution is: urea 1-20%, ammonium salt 1-10%, HCl 1-20%, H2SO4 1-15%, HNO3 0.1-10%, surfactant 0.001-1%, and the rest is water; the pickling temperature is 10-90℃; and the pickling time is 0.5-30 min. However, this method mainly removes by acid pickling mechanism, and hydrogen is precipitated during the pickling process, which has the risk of hydrogen embrittlement for high-strength steel, and hydrogen removal treatment is required after removal.
