BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

[0024] Figure 1 The application provides an alloy steel material surface alkaline oxidation treatment method. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0025] In order to make the purpose, content and advantages of the application clearer, the specific embodiments of the application are further described in detail below with reference to the drawings and examples.

[0026] The application provides an alloy steel material surface alkaline oxidation treatment method, and the flowchart is shown in the figure. Figure 1 The method mainly comprises the following steps.

[0027] S1. Removing the carbon layer on the surface of the alloy steel material by machining.

[0028] The surface carbon layer treatment is added before the alkaline oxidation treatment step, so that the uneven composition of the oxidation film formed due to the existence of the carbon layer in the subsequent oxidation treatment is avoided.

[0029] S2. Cleaning the surface of the alloy steel material by using a cleaning agent or a chemical oil removal method to remove the oil stains and impurities on the surface of the alloy steel material.

[0030] S3. Immersing the alloy steel material in an acid activation treatment solution (PH is 5-6) for 3-10 minutes to perform pickling on the surface of the alloy steel material, remove the rust and other impurities on the surface of the alloy steel material, dissolve the original oxidation film on the surface of the alloy steel material, and expose the surface of the alloy steel material.

[0031] S4. The total proportion of oxidizing agent used in the three alkaline oxidation treatments is configured in the following proportion: NaOH: NaNO2 = (3-3.5):1, the amount of additive is 5-20 g / L, and the additive is an alcohol or ester substance, such as ethylene glycol, glycerol, glycerol fatty acid ester, or sodium hydroxymethyl cellulose, etc., to inhibit the formation of iron hydroxide and avoid the attachment of small particles in the oxidation tank to the surface of the alloy steel material, effectively preventing red rust; the activated alloy steel material is subjected to three alkaline oxidation treatments to oxidize the surface of the alloy steel material into a film; when the three alkaline oxidation treatments are performed, the alloy steel material is sequentially placed into a first oxidation tank, a second oxidation tank, and a third oxidation tank, and is subjected to a first alkaline oxidation treatment, a second alkaline oxidation treatment, and a third alkaline oxidation treatment, respectively, each alkaline oxidation treatment being performed for 10-15 minutes at a temperature of 140-145°C; the NaOH in the first oxidation tank is 450-600 g / L, and the NaNO2 is 150-250 g / L; after the first alkaline oxidation treatment, the alloy steel material is immersed in an acid solution for 1-1.5 minutes to remove the oxidation film, the acid solution used including chromic anhydride 150-200 g / L and sulfuric acid 10-15 g / L; the NaOH in the second oxidation tank is 500-600 g / L, and the NaNO2 is 150-270 g / L; the NaOH in the third oxidation tank is 550-650 g / L, and the NaNO2 is 200-270 g / L; the color of the solution after each alkaline oxidation treatment should be beige and free of precipitates.

[0032] When the alkaline oxidation treatment is performed, the oxidation solution remaining on the surface of the alloy steel material is rapidly concentrated during the process of the alloy steel material staying in the air after being taken out of the oxidation tank, thereby causing the dissolution of the oxidation film components and the redness of the oxidation film. To prevent this problem, the alloy steel material is subjected to a rapid water cleaning for 0.5-1 minute after the three alkaline oxidation treatments, and the rapid cleaning should ensure that the cleaning has sufficient flow rate; if the flow rate of the cleaning water is insufficient, obvious red rust will be produced; after the third alkaline oxidation treatment, the alloy steel material is subjected to a high-pressure water cleaning for 1-2 minutes to further remove the residual alkali on the surface of the alloy steel material, especially for the alloy steel material having a blind hole structure; if the residual alkali in the hole is not cleaned by the high-pressure water cleaning, red rust is easily produced.

[0033] S5. The alloy steel material after the alkaline oxidation film formation is subjected to a hot water cleaning.

[0034] S6. The alloy steel material is subjected to an oil immersion and controlled drying or a saponification and drying.

[0035] S7. The film layer performance test is performed: after the alloy steel material surface is wiped, 1-2 drops of 3% copper sulfate solution is dropped, and no color change occurs within 1 minute, so it can be seen that the oxidation treatment result exceeds the 30-second requirement specified in GB665; after the alloy steel material surface is wiped, 1 drop of 0.175% sulfuric acid solution (GB625) is dropped, and the bottom is not exposed after 30 seconds, which also meets the requirement.

[0036] As can be seen from the above description, the basic oxidation treatment method can solve the problem of red rust on the surface of the alloy steel material and the problem of poor oxidation adhesion of the metal at room temperature, has the characteristics of good film forming quality, strong corrosion resistance, good stability, strong process operability, low cost and the like, and can meet the requirements of the surface technology and storage index of the alloy steel material.

[0037] The above description is only the preferred embodiment of the present application, and it should be pointed out that for ordinary skilled in the art, without departing from the technical principles of the present application, a number of improvements and modifications can be made, and these improvements and modifications should be considered as the protection scope of the present application.
