Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of metal anticorrosion, in particular to a zinc-aluminum coating and a preparation method thereof, and a method for using the zinc-aluminum coating. Background Art

[0002] Metal has good gloss and ductility, and can be widely used in various fields such as water conservancy and hydropower, transportation, chemical machinery and military facilities. However, metal materials often undergo chemical, electrochemical and other reactions due to inevitable contact with the surrounding environment during use, and eventually lose their function due to corrosion. Therefore, the hot-dip galvanizing process was invented. Compared with traditional painting, oiling and other processes, the anti-corrosion effect brought by the hot-dip galvanizing process can be extended by several times, and can effectively inhibit the development of local corrosion. With the continuous development of social economy and the further improvement of scientific and technological levels, more and more anti-corrosion technologies, such as electrogalvanizing, Dacromet, zinc-aluminum coating and other technologies, have been developed based on the hot-dip galvanizing process. Therefore, the hazards and damage caused by corrosion cannot be ignored. The use of certain protective technologies to prevent steel from corrosion is of great significance to people's production and life.

[0003] Dacromet is an aqueous inorganic mixed solution composed of flaky zinc, aluminum powder, chromate, deionized water and various additives. The Dacromet treatment solution is applied to the surface of the pre-treated workpiece by dipping, brushing or electrostatic spraying. The coating is obtained by drying at 80°C and curing and sintering at about 300°C. During the curing process, the water and organic components in the coating solution evaporate, and the Cr in the coating solution is 6+ It is reduced by an organic reducing agent to form an insoluble amorphous composite chromate compound nCrO3·mCr2O3, which acts as a binder to firmly adhere zinc and aluminum powder to the surface of the steel substrate, forming a dense protective layer. However, the Cr in the chromate used is 6+ It will have an impact on the environment and human body, and even cause cancer, so there are certain defects. Therefore, a zinc-aluminum coating and a preparation method and a method for using the zinc-aluminum coating are proposed to solve the above-mentioned problems. Summary of the Invention
