From the outside in, it can be divided into a coating layer, a pure tin layer, a tin-iron alloy layer, and an iron matrix. During quality inspection, defect analysis, and process improvement, it is sometimes necessary to separate the layers of the coated tinplate.

[0065] The principle of the invention is as follows: first, sugar cubes are used to physically dissolve the coating layer of the tin-plated plate, then the pure metal tin layer of the tin-plated plate is removed by electrochemical electrolysis, and finally the obtained tin-iron alloy layer is subjected to chemical and physical processing and isolation protection.

[0066] The present invention provides a method for detecting the surface morphology of a tin-iron alloy layer in a coated tinplate, and the coated tinplate is treated by adopting the treatment method.

[0067] The technical solution of the present invention has the following advantages:

[0068] 1. The present invention provides a method for treating a coated tinplate, the method comprising: (1) stripping the coating layer of the coated tinplate; (2) stripping the metal tin layer of the coated tinplate, comprising the following steps: using the coated tinplate from which the coating layer is stripped as a working electrode, and performing electrolysis, wherein the electrolysis satisfies the relationship (a). The present invention controls the electrolysis current density and the electrolysis time to satisfy a specific relationship, thereby ensuring that only the metal tin layer in the tinplate is stripped, while the tin-iron alloy layer is not lost and is fully exposed, thereby facilitating the observation and analysis of the morphology and quality of the tin-iron alloy layer; the experimental principle and solution system composition of the present invention are simple, the cost is low, and it is conducive to industrial production application, providing technical support for the quality inspection and process improvement of coated tinplate. After the coating layer of the coated tinplate is stripped by the present invention, the metal tin layer is not damaged, and the metal tin layer can be analyzed for defects such as color difference, contamination, and black spots; when the metal tin layer of the coated tinplate is stripped, the tin-iron alloy layer is not damaged, and the tin-iron alloy layer can be observed for defects such as poor reflow, rust, non-reflow, and black spots.

[0069] 2. The method for treating coated tinplate provided by the present invention, the method for stripping the coating layer adopted can be applied to all organic coating layers on the surface of coated tinplate, the experimental efficiency is high, the coating layer can be completely removed without scratching the coated tinplate; the water content of the sugar cube is not more than 0.5%, the density is not less than 1g / cm 3and a porosity of 0.38-0.40, which has the following advantages: (1) the density and porosity of the sugar cube are specified to achieve a certain hardness and roughness. By scraping the coated tinplate with appropriate hardness and relatively sharp edges and appropriate pressure, the coating layer can be initially removed without damaging other layers. (2) The sugar cube is difficult to dissolve in the first solution, so that the concentration of the first solution on the coating layer remains basically unchanged, allowing the coating layer to fall off and dissolve better; and the coating layer soaked in the first solution begins to fall off and dissolve, and the hardness decreases. The remaining coating layer can be removed by scraping the rough contour of the sugar cube surface. The surface of the sugar cube has a larger contact surface than the edges of the sugar cube, which can increase the removal speed and speed up the experimental efficiency. (3) In step A, the scraping is carried out along the rolling stripe direction of the coated tinplate, which makes it easier to remove the outer layer with a larger hardness and facilitates the continued infiltration of the solution on the surface. In step B, the scraping is carried out perpendicular to the rolling stripe direction of the coated tinplate, which can As a supplement to the scraping in step A, most of the coating layer is peeled off. The present invention requires the use of appropriate pressure for scraping. If the pressure used is too high, the surface of the coated tinplate will be damaged, while if the pressure is too low, the coating layer cannot be completely peeled off, both of which affect the experimental results. Therefore, appropriate pressure is required. Using absorbent cotton to wipe off the debris generated by scraping the edges of the sugar cube can better perform subsequent operations. Dipping the absorbent cotton in acetone solution can remove the remaining residual coating layer, so that the surface of the coated tinplate is completely exposed. The benzyl alcohol and ethylene glycol monoethyl ether used are highly polar organic solvents. Mixing benzyl alcohol with at least one of ethylene glycol monoethyl ether, butanol, and ethyl acetate can better desorb and dissolve the coating layer of the coated tinplate. Among them, the absorbent cotton, sugar cube, benzyl alcohol, ethylene glycol monoethyl ether, butanol, and ethyl acetate do not react with the coated tinplate, and can only remove the coating layer without substantially affecting the coated tinplate.

[0070] 3. The present invention provides a method for treating a coated tin-plated plate, in which a graphite electrode is used as an auxiliary electrode for electrolysis, which can effectively strip off the metal tin layer while retaining a complete tin-iron alloy layer; the tin-iron alloy layer obtained after electrolysis is placed in a passivation solution for passivation, and an extremely thin, uniform passive oxide layer is generated on the surface of the tin-iron alloy layer, which is then physically isolated from the air through a sealing treatment, the purpose of which is to reduce the surface activity of the tin-iron alloy layer, prevent the tin-iron alloy layer from being rapidly oxidized by the air, maintain its morphology and properties stable, and at the same time make the image of the tin-iron alloy layer clearer under a microscope, so as to facilitate accurate surface defect analysis or quality analysis thereof.

[0071] 4. The processing method of coated tinplate provided by the present invention has the following advantages: (1) the coating layer with strong adhesion is completely stripped without scratching the coated tinplate, and the metal tin layer is accurately stripped by electrochemical electrolysis, so that the morphology of the tin-iron alloy layer is not damaged and is fully exposed; at the same time, the sample is isolated and protected by chemical and physical processing to ensure the stability of the sample morphology and properties; (2) the present invention combines the advantages of physical dissolution, stripping of the coating layer and electrochemical electrolysis, overcoming the problems of cumbersome steps, high cost and poor effect of the existing technology; (3) the experimental principle and solution system composition of the present invention are simple and low in cost, which is conducive to industrial production application and provides technical support for quality inspection and process improvement of coated tinplate.

[0121] The tin-plated plate of this comparative example comprises a coating layer, a metal tin layer, a tin-iron alloy layer and a cold-rolled steel plate substrate; wherein the mass per unit area of ​​tin in the tin-plated plate is 5.6 g / m 2 The unit area mass of tin in the tin-iron alloy layer is 1.8g / m 2 The coating layer is an iron coating paint, the inner coating paint model is PPG 2004-337, and the unit mass of the coating layer is 10g / m 2 .

[0122] The process for coating tinplate includes the following steps:

[0123] (1) Peeling off the coating layer

[0124] (1) Prepare the first and second solutions of benzyl alcohol and ethylene glycol monoethyl ether, wherein the volume fraction of ethylene glycol monoethyl ether is 10% and the volume fraction of benzyl alcohol is 90%; at room temperature, use a dropper to drop the first solution onto the surface of the tinplate coated with the sample to be observed until the surface is completely covered with the sample, and soak for 30 seconds; use the edge of a sugar cube to scrape the coating along the rolling stripe direction of the coated tinplate with a pressure of 2N until the coating falls off by more than 60% in the sample area; the water content of the sugar cube is 0.3% and the density is 1.5g / cm 3 , the porosity is 0.39; use absorbent cotton dipped in the first solution to wipe off the debris produced by scratching;

[0125] (2) At room temperature, use a dropper to drop the second solution (the second solution is the same as the first solution) onto the surface of the tinplate coated with the sample to be observed until it completely covers the test area, and soak for 30 seconds; use the surface of a sugar cube to scrape the coating layer perpendicular to the rolling stripes of the coated tinplate with a pressure of 2N until more than 90% of the coating layer in the test area falls off;

[0126] (3) Use absorbent cotton dipped in acetone to wipe off the remaining coating along the rolling stripe direction of the coated tinplate, so that the coating layer is completely removed to expose the metal surface of the coated tinplate;

[0127] (2) Peeling off the metal tin layer

[0128] (4) At room temperature, the coated tinplate was immersed in an alcohol solution (concentration of 99.8%) for ultrasonic degreasing, wherein the ultrasonic power was 100 W, the ultrasonic frequency was 40 kHz, and the ultrasonic time was 5 min; after being taken out, it was wiped and blown dry and used as a working electrode for electrolysis, wherein the graphite electrode was the auxiliary electrode, the saturated calomel electrode was the reference electrode, the electrolyte was an aqueous solution containing HCl and NaCl, the molar ratio of HCl to NaCl was 1:1, the HCl concentration was 2 mol / L, and the current density was 150 A / m 2 , the electrolysis time is 41.18s; a tin-iron alloy layer is obtained;

[0129] (5) The tin-iron alloy layer was washed with distilled water and immediately placed in a passivation solution for passivation. The passivation solution included a potassium iodate solution and a sodium hydroxide solution with a volume ratio of 1:5. The concentration of the potassium iodate solution was 10 g / L and the concentration of the sodium hydroxide solution was 50 g / L. After the surface area turned dark gray, it was taken out and washed with pure water, wiped dry, and sealed with plastic wrap. The morphology of the alloy layer was observed under a microscope. The results were as follows: Figure 4 shown.

[0130] Comparative Example 2

[0131] This comparative example provides a treatment method for a coated tinplate. The difference from Example 1 is that the electrolysis time is different. The electrolysis time of this comparative example is 25s. The coated tinplate is removed from the coating layer and the metal tin layer. The morphology of the alloy layer is observed under a microscope. The results are as follows: Figure 5 shown.

[0132] The above results show that the current density of the electrolysis controlled by the present invention is 60-100A / m 2 , and the electrolysis current density and electrolysis time satisfy the relationship a, the exposed tin-iron alloy layer can be obtained without damaging the coating layer and the metal tin layer, and the morphology of the tin-iron alloy layer can be observed and the quality inspection can be carried out. In conjunction with Comparative Example 1, when the current density is too high, the electrolysis speed will be too fast, so that the tin-iron alloy layer will be partially or completely electrolyzed, affecting the morphology observation and quality inspection of the tin-iron alloy layer. In conjunction with Comparative Example 2, when the current density and current time do not satisfy the relationship a, it will affect the morphology observation and quality inspection of the tin-iron alloy layer, wherein the electrolysis time is insufficient and the tin-iron alloy layer cannot be fully exposed; if the electrolysis time is too high, the already exposed tin-iron alloy layer will be further electrolyzed.

[0133] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely examples for clarity of explanation and are not intended to limit the implementation methods. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is not necessary and impossible to enumerate all implementation methods here. Obvious variations or modifications arising therefrom remain within the scope of protection of the present invention.
