Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the field of steel processing, in particular to a steel surface phosphating process. BACKGROUND
[0002] Phosphating is a common pretreatment technology, which should belong to chemical conversion film treatment in principle, and is mainly applied to steel surface phosphating, and non-ferrous metal (such as aluminum and zinc) parts can also be applied to phosphating.
[0003] Phosphating is a process of forming a phosphate chemical conversion film through chemical and electrochemical reactions, and the formed phosphate conversion film is called phosphating film.
[0004] The main purposes of phosphating are to provide protection to the base metal, to prevent corrosion of the metal to some extent, to provide a primer before painting to improve the adhesion and corrosion resistance of the paint film, and to play a role in reducing friction and lubrication in metal cold working process.
[0005] Steel is a material of a certain shape, size and performance made by pressing steel ingot, billet or steel. Most steel processing is through pressing to make the processed steel (billet, ingot, etc.) produce plastic deformation. According to the different processing temperatures of steel, it can be divided into cold working and hot working.
[0006] Steel is widely used and involves multiple fields. However, steel has poor corrosion resistance, so it is easily eroded by various corrosion factors during use, causing continuous corrosion of steel parts, a significant decrease in quality, and a shortened service life.
[0007] Therefore, surface treatment is performed before the use of steel to improve the performance of steel, and phosphating treatment of steel is a common treatment method. However, the existing phosphating treatment process has limited improvement in the corrosion resistance of steel, and cannot meet the needs of some special corrosion prevention fields.
[0008] Therefore, we propose a steel surface phosphating treatment process to solve the problems in the prior art. SUMMARY
[0009] (I) Technical problems solved
[0010] In view of the deficiencies of the prior art, the present application provides a steel surface phosphating treatment process.
[0011] (II) Technical solutions
[0012] In order to achieve the above purpose, the present application provides the following technical solutions:
[0013] The steel surface phosphating treatment process comprises the following steps:
[0014] (1) The surface of the steel is polished, and then the steel is cleaned multiple times, dried after cleaning, and the cleaned steel is obtained;
[0015] (2) Prepare the pretreatment solution: add dilute hydrochloric acid to the maleic anhydride solution, adjust the temperature to 55-60℃, and mix uniformly under stirring and insulation to obtain the pretreatment solution;
[0016] (3) Prepare the phosphating solution: add phosphoric acid, sodium nitrate, modifier, rare earth nitrate, zinc nitrate, and sodium fluoride to deionized water in sequence, and mix uniformly under stirring to obtain the phosphating solution;
[0017] (4) Pretreatment: soak the cleaned steel of step (1) in the pretreatment solution, water bath insulation, immersion treatment, then take out, wash with water to neutral, dry, and get the pretreated steel;
[0018] (5) Phosphating treatment: add the pretreated steel obtained in step (4) and the phosphating solution to the reaction kettle, then adjust the temperature to 78-85℃, vacuum, immersion treatment for 8-10min, then take out, wash with pure water to neutral, then blow dry.
[0019] As a further technical solution, the polishing treatment in step (1) is carried out with 250 mesh and 400 mesh sandpaper in sequence, and the polishing time is 10 min.
[0020] As a further technical solution, the multiple cleaning in step (1) is carried out with water, ethanol and acetone in sequence, and the cleaning time is 5-7 min each time.
[0021] As a further technical solution: the volume ratio of the dilute hydrochloric acid and the maleic anhydride solution is 2:1;
[0022] The concentration of hydrochloric acid is 1.5 mol / L;
[0023] The concentration of maleic anhydride is 0.12 mol / L.
[0024] As a further technical solution: the content of each component in the phosphating solution is: phosphoric acid 9-12g / L, sodium nitrate 2-3g / L, modifier 1.2-1.6g / L, rare earth nitrate 0.09-0.12g / L, zinc nitrate 3-5g / L, and sodium fluoride 1.2-1.8g / L.
[0025] As a further technical solution, the modifier is a mixture of hydroxylamine sulfate and nano silicon dioxide particles;
[0026] The mass ratio of hydroxylamine sulfate and nano silicon dioxide particles is 3:1.
[0027] As a further technical solution, the water bath incubation temperature in step (4) is 80-85 DEG C, and the pretreatment time of the steel immersed in the pretreatment solution is 45-50 min.
[0028] As a further technical solution: in step (5), the mixing mass ratio of the pretreated steel and the phosphating solution is 20:1.
[0029] As a further technical solution: in step (5), the vacuum degree of vacuumizing is 0.05 Pa.
[0030] Wherein, the drying is carried out by nitrogen blowing.
[0031] The steel is phosphated by the prepared phosphating solution, a dense phosphating layer is formed on the surface of the steel, the phosphating layer has a uniform thickness, and the corrosion resistance of the steel is greatly improved after the formation of the phosphating layer.
[0032] The components of the phosphating solution are optimally proportioned, so that the film forming rate of the steel during phosphating is moderate, neither too fast nor too slow, a dense phosphating layer with uniform thickness can be formed, if the phosphating speed is too fast, the phosphating layer is too thick, the internal particles are coarse, the structure has many cracks, the continuity is poor, the structure is loose, and the corrosion factor can penetrate into the surface of the steel, thereby corroding the steel, and if the phosphating speed is too slow, the phosphating layer is too small and easy to fall off, and the service life is short.
[0033] The modifier is introduced, which has a more positive promoting effect on the structure of the phosphating layer, the internal particles of the phosphating layer are smaller and more dense, thereby greatly improving the corrosion resistance of the phosphating layer.
[0034] A certain amount of nano-silicon dioxide particles are introduced into the modifier, which can increase the thickness of the phosphating layer, fill the interstitial gap, improve the density of the structure, and thereby improve the blocking effect of the phosphating layer on the corrosion medium.
[0035] (Three) beneficial effects
