Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of metal surface treatment, in particular to a zinc surface chromium-free passivation solution and application thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] 08Al cold rolled steel sheet (CRS) is a commonly used commercial body panel, and the metal consumption is large, but the corrosion resistance is poor. It usually needs several surface treatment steps, such as shot blasting (or pickling), degreasing, phosphating and cathodic electrophoresis (or powder spraying), which has problems of complex process, high cost, large energy consumption, environmental pollution and the like.

[0003] Galvanizing is the most basic and widely used corrosion protection method for steel surface, which is widely used in various fields of national economy, such as metallurgy, building materials, electric power, transportation and agriculture. Galvanizing includes cold zinc spraying and hot galvanizing, and hot galvanizing method is commonly used for steel surface corrosion protection. It is to make zinc atoms and iron atoms form a eutectic phase structure on the surface of the metal matrix by physical and chemical changes under certain temperature, pressure and other external conditions, so as to make the material have special properties of electric conductivity, thermal conductivity, super hardness, wear resistance, corrosion resistance and other properties. Due to the limitation of external conditions such as temperature and pressure, the composition and structure of the coating will be affected to a certain extent. Although hot galvanizing can make the coating thickness reach several hundred microns, the surface roughness of the coating is high, and the zinc tumor and clumping phenomenon are common, which reduces the corrosion resistance. In addition, the hot galvanizing process has large energy consumption, long process and serious pollution, resulting in high cost in all aspects. In order to further improve the corrosion resistance of the galvanized layer, post-treatment is generally needed, such as chromate passivation treatment. The chromate passivation is uniform, dense and has strong corrosion resistance, and can realize the oxidation corrosion of zinc. However, the chromium-free passivation solution still contains carcinogenic hexavalent chromium, which is not an ideal chromium-free passivation solution for galvanizing post-treatment. Although the toxicity of trivalent chromium passivation film is only 1% of that of hexavalent chromium, and the excellent corrosion resistance of the passivation film is retained, a small amount of hexavalent chromium is often mixed in the trivalent chromium passivation film, and there is a possibility that trivalent chromium will be converted into hexavalent chromium during long-term use.

[0004] Chinese patent document CN113445039A discloses a zinc surface chromium-free passivation solution and a passivation method. The chromium-free passivation solution contains soluble silicate and soluble cerium (IV) salt. The soluble silicate is a film former, and the soluble cerium (IV) salt is an oxidizing film former. The pH value of the chromium-free passivation solution is 2.0-3.0. The chromium-free passivation solution is acidic and has a certain corrosion effect on the zinc surface, and the passivation film can only resist corrosion for 24 hours in a neutral salt spray. SUMMARY

[0008] In the zinc surface chromium-free passivation solution provided by the present application, the transition metal acid or transition metal acid salt is both an oxidizing agent and a film forming agent. In the chromium-free passivation solution, the main role of the oxidizing agent is oxidation, which oxidizes the zinc to zinc oxide, and the role of the film forming agent is film forming. The transition metal acid or transition metal acid salt is oxidized to transition metal oxide film after oxidizing the 0-valent zinc to 2-valent zinc. The hydrogen fluoride or fluoride salt plays the role of a film forming agent in the chromium-free passivation solution, and F combines with the 2-valent zinc on the zinc surface to form a zinc fluoride film. The hydrogen peroxide or metal peroxide plays the role of an oxidizing agent in the chromium-free passivation solution, and can oxidize the 0-valent zinc on the zinc surface to form a zinc oxide film.

The zinc surface is a pure zinc surface or a zinc alloy surface.

[0013] On the basis of the above technical solution, the temperature is 35-40℃, and the reaction time is 5-10 minutes.

[0014] On the basis of the above technical solution, the zinc alloy surface is a GA galvanized surface or a GI galvanized surface.

[0022] Compared with the prior art, the present application has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0023] The zinc surface chromium-free passivation solution provided by the present application does not need to be performed under acidic condition, avoiding corrosion of the zinc surface and the surface of the steel product not galvanized in the acidic environment, and forming a passivation film coexisting with transition metal oxide, zinc oxide and zinc fluoride on the zinc surface, so that the salt spray corrosion resistance of the treated steel product can reach more than 168 hours. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0024] To make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present application clearer, the technical solutions of the present application will be described clearly and completely below in combination with the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0025] The zinc surface chromium-free passivation solution provided by the present application has a pH value of 8±0.5, and at least dissolves the following substances: (i) transition metal acid or transition metal acid salt, (ii) hydrogen fluoride or fluoride salt, and (iii) hydrogen peroxide or metal peroxide.

[0026] The present application utilizes the unstable state of transition metal (e.g. vanadium, chromium, manganese, cobalt, iron) in high valence in transition metal acid or transition metal acid salt, the property of transition metal acid or transition metal acid salt oxidizing 0-valence zinc while transforming itself into dense transition metal oxide film, and the specific transition metal is molybdenum, the transition metal acid salt is molybdate, and the water-soluble molybdate is used, such as ammonium, alkali metal, magnesium molybdate. The process of zinc surface passivation with chromium-free passivation solution is a solid-liquid heterogeneous reaction process, and the reaction only occurs at the interface of solid and liquid. The oxidant molecules and film-forming agent molecules in the chromium-free passivation solution need to migrate to the interface of the chromium-free passivation solution and the zinc plating layer to form a film. In the traditional combination of oxidant and film-forming agent, the oxidant molecules and film-forming agent molecules will form various complex components during the solid-liquid interface reaction process, hindering the oxidation of the oxidant and the film formation of the film-forming agent, thus easily leading to uneven film formation. The transition metal acid or transition metal acid salt as the oxidation and film-forming agent is reduced to low-valence transition metal oxide after oxidizing zinc at the interface of the chromium-free passivation solution and the zinc plating layer during molecular motion, and the transition metal oxide is in-situ film-formed at the interface of the chromium-free passivation solution and the zinc plating layer, which not only accelerates the passivation and film formation rate, but also effectively prevents the influence of other molecular motion of the chromium-free passivation solution in the oxidation and film formation series process, improving the completeness, uniformity and density of the passivation and film formation.

[0027] The hydrogen fluoride or fluoride salt in the zinc surface chromium-free passivation solution of the present application forms ZnF2 with 2-valence zinc, which is slightly soluble in water, insoluble in ethanol, and soluble in hot acid, hydrochloric acid, nitric acid and ammonium hydroxide, and has good salt spray resistance. The fluoride salt in the zinc surface chromium-free passivation solution of the present application uses water-soluble fluoride salt, such as ammonium or alkali metal fluoride salt.

[0028] The hydrogen peroxide or metal peroxide in the zinc surface chromium-free passivation solution of the present application can oxidize 0-valence zinc into a dense zinc oxide film. The metal peroxide can use sodium peroxide.

[0029] The pH value of the chromium-free passivation solution is controlled to be 8±0.5 in the present application; preferably, the pH value of the chromium-free passivation solution is controlled to be 8. The traditional chromium-free passivation solution utilizes oxidation and film-forming agent to oxidize and passivate the zinc surface, which needs to react in an acidic environment. However, experiments show that the effect is best when the pH value of the chromium-free passivation solution is 8. If the pH value of the chromium-free passivation solution is too low, i.e. pH≤7, the passivation film is rough, the adhesion is poor, and the corrosion resistance of the passivation film is reduced. If the pH value of the chromium-free passivation solution is too high, i.e. pH≥9, the stability of the chromium-free passivation solution is poor, some complex by-products are produced, and the uniformity and density of the passivation film are difficult to guarantee. Therefore, in order to obtain a dense passivation film, it is appropriate to control the pH value of the chromium-free passivation solution to be 8, so as to obtain a passivation film with appropriate thickness and density in the passivation process, and to meet the requirements of corrosion resistance.

[0030] In some possible embodiments, the concentration of the transition metal acid or transition metal acid salt in the zinc surface chromium-free passivation solution is 0.01-10 g / L, the concentration of the fluorinated salt is 0.01-5 g / L, and the concentration of the hydrogen peroxide or metal peroxide is 0.01-10 g / L. In order to improve the corrosion resistance of the chromium-free passivation film, the concentration of the transition metal acid or transition metal acid salt in the zinc surface chromium-free passivation solution is controlled to be ≥4 g / L. Preferably, the concentration of the transition metal acid or transition metal acid salt is 4-6 g / L, the concentration of the fluorinated salt is 1-3 g / L, and the concentration of the hydrogen peroxide or metal peroxide is 4-6 g / L. More preferably, the concentration of the transition metal acid or transition metal acid salt is 5-6 g / L, the concentration of the fluorinated salt is 2 g / L, the concentration of the hydrogen peroxide or metal peroxide is 5 g / L, and the concentration of the hydroxyl ion is 1-2 g / L.

[0031] In some possible embodiments, the pH value of the zinc surface chromium-free passivation solution is 8, and the solution contains ammonium molybdate, sodium fluoride and hydrogen peroxide. The concentration of the ammonium molybdate is 5-6 g / L, the concentration of the sodium fluoride is 2 g / L, and the concentration of the hydrogen peroxide is 5 g / L.

The four components do not react with each other, the alkaline pH adjuster is soluble in water, and does not contain cations that are prone to form precipitates with fluorine ions and transition metal acid radicals. Preferably, the pH adjuster is sodium hydroxide.

[0033] In some possible embodiments, the transition metal acid or transition metal acid salt, the fluorinated salt, the hydrogen peroxide or the metal peroxide are independently packaged or mixed packaged after being weighed according to the proportion.

[0034] Based on the above zinc surface chromium-free passivation solution, the present application provides a zinc surface chromium-free passivation method, which comprises immersing the zinc surface into the above zinc surface chromium-free passivation solution, and keeping the temperature at 25-42°C for 3-20 minutes.

Finally, the combined electro-galvanized layer of the intermediate layer of the galvanized layer and the outermost layer of the chromium-free passivation film is obtained on the surface of the steel plate. It should be emphasized that the second step of the chromium-free passivation treatment after the electro-galvanizing treatment of the steel product can also be used as an independent surface treatment process for the surface corrosion prevention treatment of the pure zinc workpiece, the GA galvanized workpiece or the GI galvanized workpiece. Unlike the existing chromium-free passivation solution, the chromium-free passivation solution of the present application does not need to add chromate as an oxidizing agent.

[0083] Main salt concentration is 5g / L, organic acid concentration 15g / L, current density 1.3A / dm2 2 Under the condition, electroplating 40min, thinning per unit area 1.06g / m2.

[0084] The above results show that there is a linear relationship between current density and the mass of the coating per unit area, the mass per unit area of the cathode increases with the increase of the current density, and the mass per unit area of the anode decreases with the increase of the current density; the use of organic acid instead of inorganic acid effectively reduces the accelerated corrosion of strong acid on the anode plate; the addition of complexing agent balances the metal cations in the plating solution, so that the concentration of metal ions is maintained at a stable level, ensuring the uniformity of the coating thickness; the addition of anionic surfactant keeps the surface of the cathode plated part wet and clean, and the active anion groups adsorbed on the surface also play a role in promoting the reduction of zinc ions to zinc metal, and at the same time, the adsorption of active groups on the surface of the plated part can also improve the adhesion between the coating and the substrate, ensuring the uniformity, integrity and smoothness of the coating surface.

[0088] ​​The reaction temperature was changed, and the reaction temperature included 15℃, 25℃, 30℃, 35℃, 40℃ and 45℃. The research results are shown in Table 1.

[0089] Table 1 Influence of reaction temperature on salt fog corrosion resistance of GA plate surface chromium-free passivation film

[0090]

[0091] The above results show that the reaction temperature of the zinc surface chromium-free passivation method based on the above chromium-free passivation solution can obtain a chromium-free passivation film with good salt fog corrosion resistance when the reaction temperature is 25-42℃, further, the reaction temperature is preferably 30-40℃, and further, the reaction temperature is preferably 35-40℃.

[0092] (5.2) Influence of reaction time on salt fog corrosion resistance of GA plate surface chromium-free passivation film:

[0093] The reaction temperature was changed, and the reaction temperature included 15℃, 25℃, 30℃, 35℃, 40℃ and 45℃. The research results are shown in Table 1.

[0096] The above results show that the reaction time of the zinc surface chromium-free passivation method based on the above chromium-free passivation solution can obtain a chromium-free passivation film with good salt fog corrosion resistance when the reaction time is 3-20min, further, the reaction time is preferably 5-10min.

[0097] (5.3) Influence of ammonium molybdate concentration and chromium-free passivation solution aging time on salt fog corrosion resistance of GA plate surface chromium-free passivation film:

[0098] The aging time was 5 days, 6 days and 1 day. The research results are shown in Table 3.

[0099] Table 3 Influence of ammonium molybdate concentration on salt fog corrosion resistance of GA plate surface chromium-free passivation film

[0100]

[0101]

[0102] As shown in Table 3, the concentration of ammonium molybdate in the newly prepared chromium-free passivation solution is 5 g / L, and the salt spray corrosion resistance of the chromium-free passivation film obtained by passivating the GA plate immediately is 168 h; the concentration of ammonium molybdate in the newly prepared chromium-free passivation solution is reduced to 4 g / L after being placed for 5 days, and the salt spray corrosion resistance of the chromium-free passivation film obtained by passivating the GA plate at this time is 120 h; the concentration of ammonium molybdate in the chromium-free passivation solution placed for 5 days is increased to 6 g / L by adding ammonium molybdate at 2 g / L, and the salt spray corrosion resistance of the chromium-free passivation film obtained by passivating the GA plate at this time is 192 h; the chromium-free passivation solution placed for 6 days at room temperature continues to be used, and the concentration of ammonium molybdate ions is reduced to 4-5 g / L, and the salt spray corrosion resistance of the chromium-free passivation film obtained by passivating the GA plate at this time is 144 h; the concentration of ammonium molybdate in the chromium-free passivation solution placed for 5 days is increased to 5 g / L by adding ammonium molybdate at 1 g / L, and the salt spray corrosion resistance of the chromium-free passivation film obtained by passivating the GA plate at this time is 168 h; the concentration of ammonium molybdate in the chromium-free passivation solution placed for 5 days is increased to 6 g / L by adding ammonium molybdate again at 1 g / L, and the salt spray corrosion resistance of the chromium-free passivation film obtained by passivating the GA plate at this time is 192 h.

[0103] The above results show that the salt spray corrosion resistance time of the chromium-free passivation film obtained by passivating the GA plate with the newly prepared chromium-free passivation solution is higher than that of the aged chromium-free passivation solution; as the concentration of ammonium molybdate increases, the aged chromium-free passivation solution recovers its activity and becomes a fresh chromium-free passivation solution, and the corrosion resistance of the newly prepared chromium-free passivation film layer is significantly improved compared to that of the chromium-free passivation film layer prepared by the chromium-free passivation solution placed for several days, and the salt spray corrosion resistance of the chromium-free passivation film on the surface of the GA plate is enhanced as the concentration of ammonium molybdate in the newly prepared chromium-free passivation solution increases. Therefore, using the newly prepared chromium-free passivation solution can ensure appropriate cost and good salt spray corrosion resistance. When the chromium-free passivation solution is aged for several days, the concentration of ammonium molybdate decreases, the content of effective components of the chromium-free passivation solution decreases, and the activity decreases, so a certain amount of ammonium molybdate needs to be added to adjust the chromium-free passivation solution to the ideal state.

[0104] According to the test results, the salt spray resistance time of the chromium-free passivation film obtained by using the chromium-free passivation solution aged for 5 days is reduced to 120 h compared to the newly prepared chromium-free passivation solution, and the salt spray corrosion resistance is reduced by 28.6%; if 40% ammonium molybdate is added, the salt spray corrosion time is increased to 192 h, and the corrosion resistance is improved by 60% compared to before the addition of ammonium molybdate; if 20% ammonium molybdate is added to the chromium-free passivation solution aged for 1 day, the corrosion resistance can be improved by 14% compared to before the addition of ammonium molybdate.

[0105] (5.4) The influence of the pH value of the chromium-free passivation solution on the color and adhesion of the chromium-free passivation film was investigated.

[0106] The reaction temperature is 35℃, the reaction time is 5 minutes, the concentration of ammonium molybdate is 5g / L, the concentration of sodium fluoride is 2g / L, the concentration of hydrogen peroxide is 5g / L, and the pH value is changed, including 6, 8 and 9. The research results are shown in Table 4.

[0107] Table 4 Influence of pH value on the color and adhesion of chromium-free passivation film

[0108]

[0109] The above results show that when the pH value of the chromium-free passivation solution is 8, the color and adhesion of the chromium-free passivation film are the best.

[0110] Through the above examples of the treatment conditions of the chromium-free passivation film and the salt spray corrosion resistance of the galvanized layer, the zinc surface chromium-free passivation method provided by the present application optimizes the temperature to 35℃, the passivation time to 5 minutes, the pH value to 8, the concentration of ammonium molybdate to 5-6g / L, the concentration of sodium fluoride to 2g / L, the concentration of hydrogen peroxide to 5g / L, and the concentration of sodium hydroxide to 1-2g / L. The salt spray corrosion resistance of the chromium-free passivation film obtained by passivating the zinc surface with the newly prepared chromium-free passivation solution is 168-192 hours (the thickness of the galvanized layer is 11μm), while the salt spray corrosion resistance of the galvanized layer without the chromium-free passivation film is not more than 120 hours. The chromium-free passivation method can be used for the sealing treatment of the galvanized layer, and significantly improves the corrosion resistance of the galvanized layer.
