Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the field of steel materials and its corrosion protection technology, and particularly relates to a rust layer stabilizing treatment liquid for weathering steel surface and a treatment method. BACKGROUND

[0002] Weathering steel has excellent atmospheric corrosion resistance, good strength and toughness, and welding performance, and is widely used in outdoor equipment and components manufacturing such as railway vehicles, containers, bridges, buildings, etc. However, due to the addition of alloy elements such as Cu, Cr, Ni, etc., the manufacturing cost of weathering steel is significantly higher than that of ordinary carbon steel. Although the paint-free application can greatly reduce the later use and maintenance cost of weathering steel, it takes a long time to form a stable and dense protective rust layer, usually more than 3 years. On the one hand, the corrosion rate of the material is fast before the formation of a dense protective rust layer, which can easily lead to corrosion failure; on the other hand, the phenomenon of rust liquid flowing and scattering often occurs, which pollutes the surrounding environment and affects the appearance. Therefore, weathering steel is still used mainly after galvanizing or painting for corrosion protection, which limits its further popularization and application.

[0003] In order to promote the paint-free application of weathering steel, domestic steel enterprises and research institutions have carried out long-term research work on the surface rust layer stabilization treatment of weathering steel, but so far there is no mature and widely used surface rust layer stabilization treatment technology.

[0004] The patent CN 108660447 A published on October 16, 2018 discloses a pretreatment liquid and a pretreatment method for stabilizing the rust layer on the surface of weathering steel. The chemical components and their mass fractions in the pretreatment liquid disclosed in the patent are as follows: 0.5-2% Cr(SO4)3, 0.3-1.2% FeSO4, 0.1-0.6% CuSO4, 0.3-1.2% NaHSO3 and 0.2-1.0% NiSO4, and the balance is H2O. The pretreatment liquid is sprayed onto the surface of weathering steel, and after one spraying, it is naturally dried. The dried weathering steel surface is sprayed with water three times, and before each spraying, the weathering steel surface is naturally dried. Although the pretreatment method for stabilizing the rust layer on the surface of weathering steel described in the patent is simple to operate, the pretreatment liquid contains chromium salt which pollutes the environment. Moreover, the implementation effect only shows that a uniform and dense rust layer is obtained without rust liquid flowing phenomenon, and does not mention the time required for the rust layer to reach stabilization, which is a key indicator.

[0005] CN107794523 A published on March 13, 2018 discloses a kind of weathering steel plate fast rusting method, and rusting process flow is: steel plate surface cleaning, homogenization, pre-oxidation, oxidation and subsequent processing.Steel plate surface cleaning: using sandpaper, angle grinder or shot blasting to steel plate surface is handled, so that steel plate surface is rust-free, oil-free, no other adhering material.Homogenization: using brushing, roll coating or spraying method, nickel salt solution (4kg nickel sulfate is dissolved in 100 liters 0.05 moL / L phosphoric acid solution, 3kg OP-10 non-ionic surfactant is added, and conductivity ≤20 μs / cm water is diluted 10 times) is attached to steel plate surface.Oxidation: using brushing, roll coating or spraying method, oxidation liquid (2.4% NaCl, 2.4% CuSO4, 3.2% FeSO4 and 3.2% NaHSO3 four kinds of aqueous solution are prepared, then four kinds of solution are mixed according to the proportion of volume ratio 1:1:1:1, stirring, standing 8 hours for use) is attached to steel plate surface, and the generated thin corrosion product layer is promoted to grow fast.Subsequent processing: using brushing, roll coating or spraying method, one or two of water, sodium chloride or sodium bisulfite solution is attached to steel plate surface, and the corrosion product layer generated after surface oxidation treatment is not perfect in quality.The construction process described in the patent is complex, not suitable for on-site construction, and the implementation effect does not explain the key indicator of the time required for the rust layer to reach stabilization.

[0006] CN 106835092 A published on June 13, 2017 discloses a kind of steel plate surface generation stable rust layer processing method, and the mass percentage of surface treatment solution is CuSO4: 0.5% ~ 5%, FeSO4: 1% ~ 5%, NaHSO3: 0.1% ~ 3%, NaCl: 0.1% ~ 3%, Fe2O3: 0.05% ~ 3%, Cr2 (SO4) 3: 0.05% ~ 3%, and the rest is water and unavoidable impurities.The treatment liquid contains chromium salt that pollutes the environment, and the implementation effect is verified by periodic immersion accelerated corrosion test, and the actual use effect needs to be further verified in atmospheric environment.

[0007] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a treatment method for promoting the rapid formation of a dense and stable protective rust layer on the surface of weathering steel. SUMMARY

[0008] The application aims to provide a weathering steel surface rust layer stabilizing treatment liquid and a treatment method, which can accelerate the formation of a dense and stable protective rust layer on the surface of the weathering steel by treating the surface of the weathering steel with the treatment liquid.

[0009] The specific technical scheme of the application is as follows:

[0010] A weathering steel surface rust layer stabilizing treatment liquid comprises the following components in percentage by mass:

[0011] Cu(NO3)2: 0.5-1.0%, FeCl3: 0.5-1.0%, NaHSO3: 0.1-0.5%, Na2MoO4: 0.05-0.15%, Fe3O4: 0.5-2.0%, and the rest is deionized water.

[0012] The percentage by mass of NaHSO3, FeCl3 and Na2MoO4 in the weathering steel surface rust layer stabilizing treatment liquid also needs to satisfy the formula (5*NaHSO3+FeCl3) / Na2MoO4=20-25. The content of the accelerators NaHSO3 and FeCl3 and the corrosion inhibitor Na2MoO4 needs to be controlled within a certain range, so as to accelerate the corrosion of the weathering steel material to form a rust layer and avoid excessive corrosion of the base material.

[0013] The application provides a weathering steel surface rust layer stabilizing treatment method, which adopts the above treatment liquid and specifically comprises the following steps:

[0014] 1) removing the rust layer on the surface of the weathering steel;

[0015] 2) spraying the treatment liquid uniformly on the surface of the weathering steel, and then spraying water uniformly on the surface of the weathering steel after drying.

[0016] Step 1) removes the rust layer on the surface of the weathering steel by pickling or shot blasting.

[0017] In step 2), the drying is performed for 10-30 minutes before spraying water on the surface of the weathering steel.

[0018] In step 2), the drying is performed for 60-120 minutes.

[0019] In step 2), the treatment liquid is evenly sprayed on the surface of the weathering steel to completely cover the surface of the weathering steel.

[0020] In step 2), the spraying amount of the treatment liquid is 0.30-0.50 μL / mm 2 ;

[0021] In step 2), water is sprayed on the surface of the weathering steel to completely cover the surface of the weathering steel.

[0022] Further, step 2) is repeated, and the treatment liquid and water are sprayed for 2-5 cycles, and the amount of the treatment liquid sprayed each time is the same, and the amount of water sprayed each time is the same.

[0023] Further, the treatment liquid should be sprayed when the weather is dry. It should not be sprayed in rain, snow or heavy fog to avoid the stabilized treatment liquid on the surface of the weathering steel being washed away and thus losing its effect.

[0024] After the above treatment method, the rust layer on the surface of the weathering steel is stabilized after 58-63 days of atmospheric exposure.

[0025] The application also provides a weathering steel suitable for the above surface rust layer stabilization treatment method, and the weathering steel comprises the following components in mass percentage: C: 0.04%-0.12%, Si: 0.20%-0.50%, Mn: ≤1.50%, P: 0.06%-0.15%, S: ≤0.005%, Cr: 0.30%-1.00%, Ni: ≤0.30%, Cu: 0.20%-0.40%, Alt: 0.020%-0.040%, and the rest is Fe and inevitable impurity elements. In order to improve the strength and plasticity of the weathering steel, micro-alloy elements such as Nb, V and Ti can also be added as needed.

[0026] The design idea of the application is as follows:

[0027] Cu(NO3)2 is a modifier, and copper elements are enriched in the rust layer to fill the cracks of the rust layer, improve the density of the rust layer, and prevent the diffusion of corrosive media to the substrate; it can also promote the positive shift of the electrode potential in this area, inhibit the corrosion tendency of the substrate, and slow down the corrosion of the substrate.

[0028] NaHSO3 and FeCl3 are accelerators, which form a weak acidic environment and provide Cl - , promote the initial corrosion of the substrate material, and make the weathering steel corrode quickly to form a rust layer.

[0029] Na2MoO4 is a slow-release agent, which reacts with the steel substrate to form a difficult-to-dissolve passivation film attached to the surface of the substrate, thereby improving the protection of the rust layer.

[0030] Fe3O4 is an inducer, which induces the nucleation of the rust layer, induces the transformation of γ-FeOOH in the rust layer to stable and dense α-FeOOH, accelerates the formation of the dense inner rust layer, and shortens the stabilization period of the rust layer.

[0031] Deionized water: as a solvent, dissolving chemical reagents.

[0032] Compared with the prior art, the weathering steel surface rust layer stabilization treatment method provided by the application can promote the rapid formation of dense and stable α-FeOOH on the surface of the weathering steel, and improve the atmospheric corrosion resistance. After about 60 days of atmospheric exposure, the rust layer on the surface of the weathering steel reaches stability, and the corrosion weight loss rate is ≤75% relative to the untreated weathering steel. The treated weathering steel can be used in industrial atmospheres, rural atmospheres and other climate environments. The weathering steel surface rust layer stabilization treatment method also has the advantages of simple preparation, convenient construction, economy and environmental protection.
