Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of hot-dip galvanizing technology for steel surfaces, specifically to a hot-dip galvanizing anti-leakage additive, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology

[0002] Steel is widely used in human production and construction activities due to its excellent comprehensive mechanical properties, but it is easily corroded and fails due to complex service environments. Hot-dip galvanizing, which involves immersing steel in molten zinc to obtain a zinc coating on the steel surface with strong corrosion resistance, controllable thickness and surface morphology, and relatively low process cost, has become an effective method for steel corrosion protection.

[0003] Incomplete galvanizing is a common problem. Incomplete galvanizing refers to the intermittent, localized, spot-like or irregular black areas appearing in the zinc coating. It is generally related to the physicochemical state of the steel workpiece surface. When the workpiece surface hinders the wetting of the molten zinc, it affects the galvanizing reaction, leading to incomplete galvanizing. Currently, fluxing is required before immersing the workpiece in the zinc bath to prevent incomplete galvanizing. The quality of the anti-incomplete galvanizing additive directly determines the quality of the galvanizing process.

[0004] Traditional hot-dip galvanizing involves immersing steel parts in a flux solution containing zinc chloride and ammonium chloride to form a thin zinc chloride-ammonium salt film. However, during hot-dip galvanizing, when the surface temperature exceeds 200°C, the ammonium chloride in the flux film decomposes, forming HCl and NH3. Upon contact with room temperature air, these HCl and NH3 recombine to form NH4Cl particles, generating a large amount of fumes and causing issues such as incomplete galvanizing and zinc bursting, severely impacting workpiece quality. Therefore, there is an urgent need to explore a novel hot-dip galvanizing anti-incomplete galvanizing additive to solve these problems. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This invention proposes a hot-dip galvanizing anti-leakage additive, its preparation method and application, which solves the problems of leakage, zinc explosion and smoke in related technologies during hot-dip galvanizing.

[0006] The technical solution of the present invention is as follows:

[0007] This invention proposes a hot-dip galvanizing anti-leakage additive comprising the following components in parts by weight: 22-40 parts of chloride, 0.8-2.4 parts of surfactant, 0.5-1.5 parts of complexing agent, and 98-102 parts of deionized water. The chloride comprises zinc chloride, sodium chloride, scandium chloride, and yttrium chloride in a mass ratio of 13-17:2-5:4-6:3-12.

[0008] As a further technical solution, the mass ratio of scandium chloride to yttrium chloride in the chloride is 1:1-1.5.

[0009] As a further technical solution, the surfactant includes sodium lauroyl glutamate and dodecyl glucoside.

[0010] As a further technical solution, the mass ratio of sodium lauroyl glutamate to dodecyl glucoside is 1:1-2.

[0011] As a further technical solution, the complexing agent is malonic acid.

[0012] This invention also proposes a method for preparing a hot-dip galvanizing anti-leakage additive, comprising the following steps:

[0013] S1. Heat deionized water to a constant temperature, add the chloride, and stir until completely dissolved;

[0014] S2. Continue adding the surfactant and stir at the constant temperature until completely dissolved;

[0015] S3. Continue to add the complexing agent, stir at the constant temperature until completely dissolved, stop heating, and cool to room temperature to obtain the hot-dip galvanizing anti-leakage additive.

[0016] The constant temperature is 50-60℃.

[0017] The present invention also proposes the application of the hot-dip galvanizing anti-leakage additive in hot-dip galvanizing of steel surfaces.

[0018] As a further technical solution, the following steps are included: degreasing, derusting, and washing the workpiece to obtain the part to be galvanized; immersing the part to be galvanized in the hot-dip galvanizing anti-leakage additive; controlling the pH value of the hot-dip galvanizing anti-leakage additive; soaking for 5-10 minutes; removing the part; allowing it to air dry for 3-10 minutes; and then galvanizing.

[0019] As a further technical solution, the pH value of the hot-dip galvanizing anti-leakage additive is 3-5.

[0020] As a further technical solution, the soaking temperature is 40-80℃.

[0021] The working principle and beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:

[0022] 1. The chlorides in the hot-dip galvanizing anti-leakage additive of this invention include zinc chloride, sodium chloride, scandium chloride, and yttrium chloride, but do not contain ammonium chloride. This effectively inhibits problems such as missed plating, zinc bursting, and fumes that occur during hot-dip galvanizing of steel workpieces, significantly improving the surface quality of hot-dip galvanized workpieces and meeting the needs of actual industrial production. Furthermore, the combined use of scandium chloride and yttrium chloride in the chlorides improves the fluxing effect, effectively preventing missed plating. In addition, it improves the uniformity of the coating, thereby enhancing the quality of the galvanized layer.

[0023] 2. The surfactant in this invention improves the wettability and flowability of the hot-dip galvanizing anti-leakage additive, increases the drying rate and uniformity of the flux film, and inhibits the occurrence of zinc explosion.

[0024] 3. The complexing agent in this invention can both activate the surface of steel workpieces and coordinate with ferrous ions to form complexes, preventing excessive ferrous ions from entering the zinc bath during hot-dip galvanizing and forming zinc dross that reduces the fluidity of the zinc bath, thereby improving the overall quality of the hot-dip galvanized workpiece surface.
