Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of metal surface treatment, and in particular relates to a cyanide-free cadmium plating method for aerospace alloy steel forging machine parts. Background Art
[0003] When the material grade is 25Cr3MoA, a type of alloy steel forging machined parts are subjected to cyanide-free cadmium plating, black spots often appear on the cadmium plating layer of the forged surface, but such black spots do not appear on the machined surface. After the problem occurs, the factory has to send people to the user to re-passivate the problematic cadmium-plated parts. After the re-passivation, the parts have not been found to have the problem of black spots appearing again. This problem has caused dissatisfaction among the users, who strongly request the processing unit and the supplier to propose a solution and solve the problem.
[0004] The chromium content of 25Cr3MoA alloy steel is 3% to 3.5%. After sandblasting, the forged parts will still have a sintered chromium oxide film on the surface. According to the chemical properties of chromium oxide, [3] , according to the industry's conventional hydrochloric acid pickling activation process, a short-term pickling cannot effectively remove the chromium oxide film on the forged surface of 25Cr3MoA alloy steel. When potassium chloride cyanide-free cadmium plating is directly performed on the alloy steel forging surface with residual chromium oxide film, pores will form in the prepared cadmium plating layer, which may penetrate the plating layer or be sealed in the plating layer when the plating layer reaches a certain thickness. The potassium chloride cadmium plating solution remaining in the pores of the plating layer will cause residual corrosion to the cadmium plating layer. After the corrosive products penetrate the plating layer, black spots will appear on the surface of the plating layer.

In order to achieve the above purpose, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0008] (1) Shot blasting is performed on the surface of the alloy steel forging blank to remove the oxide on the surface;
[0009] (2) machining a portion of the surface of the alloy steel forging blank processed in step (1) to obtain an alloy steel forging machined part;

[0014] (7) preparing a passivation layer by a hexavalent chromium passivation process on the cyanide-free cadmium-plated layer after dehydrogenation in step (6);
[0015] The process for plating copper-zinc alloy with polymerized thiocyanate in step (4) is as follows:
[0016] Polymeric cuprous thiocyanate 17-25 g / L, polymeric zinc thiocyanate 12-16 g / L, polymeric sodium thiocyanate 125-175 g / L, brightener 8-12 mL / L, plating solution pH 9.5-11.5, plating tank temperature 35-55 °C, cathode current density 0.5-1.5 A / dm 2 , the cathode moves 3-5 m / min, and a brass plate with a copper mass fraction of 68% is used as the anode;
[0017] The brightener in the polythiocyanate copper-zinc alloy plating process comprises 60-100 g / L of N,N'-di-n-propylethylenediamine and 80-120 g / L of polyacrylamide with a molecular weight less than 8000.
[0018] In some embodiments, the activation treatment in step (3) is carried out by a sulfuric acid anode electrolysis process:
[0019] Concentrated sulfuric acid 150~250g / L, anode current density 0.5~1.5A / dm 2 , operate at room temperature, hang the alloy steel forging machine parts on the anode, electrolyze for 1 to 2 minutes, and make the cathode with lead plate.
[0020] In some of the embodiments, the polythiocyanate copper-zinc alloy plating process described in step (4) uses anode movement to avoid passivation of the anode surface, and the anode movement speed is 3 to 5 m / min.
[0021] In some of the embodiments, the area ratio of the anode to the cathode in the polythiocyanate copper-zinc alloy plating process described in step (4) is (1-2):1.
[0022] In some of the embodiments, the mass fraction of copper in the copper-zinc alloy coating in step (4) is 58% to 78%.
[0023] In some of the embodiments, the copper-zinc alloy coating in step (4) has a thickness of 3 to 10 μm.
[0024] In some embodiments, the cyanide-free cadmium plating layer in step (5) is prepared by a potassium chloride cyanide-free cadmium plating process:
[0025] Cadmium chloride 25-35 g / L, potassium chloride 100-140 g / L, PULIZIER NCC-617AC complexing agent 100-140 g / L, PULIZIER NCC-617Base auxiliary agent 25-30 mL / L, PULIZIER NCC-617Bri brightener 1.5-2.5 mL / L, PULIZIER NCC-617HCD high-zone brightener 5-10 mL / L, plating tank temperature 20-35 ° C, plating solution pH 7-9, cathode current density 0.5-1.5 A / dm 2 , the cathode moves 2 to 4 m / min.
[0026] In some embodiments, the thickness of the cyanide-free cadmium plating layer in step (5) is 5 to 30 μm.
[0027] In some embodiments, the hexavalent chromium passivation process described in step (7) adopts a hexavalent chromium low-chromium color passivation process:
[0028] The volume concentration of HC-5 high protection low chrome color passivator is 2% to 4%, the passivation temperature is 20 to 35°C, the pH value of the passivation solution is 1.3 to 2.0, the passivation time is 5 to 15s, and weak air stirring or workpiece swing is used.
[0029] In some embodiments, the hexavalent chromium passivation process described in step (7) adopts a hexavalent chromium military green passivation process:
[0030] OVG-31 military green passivator 80~120mL / L, passivation solution pH value 1.0~1.6, passivation temperature 20~30℃, air stirring or swinging the plated parts, passivation time 30~90s.
[0031] The invention adopts a sulfuric acid anodic electrolytic activation method to activate the surface of the alloy steel forging machined part. The metal on the surface of the workpiece undergoes an anodic electrolytic oxidation reaction in a sulfuric acid medium and dissolves in an electrolyte, thereby effectively stripping off the oxide film on the surface of the workpiece. In the process, no hydrogen evolution reaction occurs in the metal matrix.
[0032] Potential activation theory believes that: 1) the higher cathode polarization makes the metal deposition potential shift more positively, which is conducive to the reduction of the oxide film on the substrate surface; 2) the slow deposition rate of the plating solution can provide enough time for the oxide film to be reduced. The combination of these two factors can ensure that the oxide film on the substrate surface is reduced to the substrate metal, and the coating formed after the oxide film on the substrate surface is eliminated can form a good bonding force with the substrate metal.
[0033] The polymerized thiocyanate copper-zinc alloy plating process of the present invention has a plating solution performance similar to that of the cyanide copper-zinc alloy plating solution, and has a high cathode polarization and activation ability. When the plating process is adopted, the chromium trioxide on the forging surface of the alloy steel can react first and be reduced to metal chromium and combined with the substrate, and then the copper and zinc ions in the plating solution begin to be electrodeposited to form a copper-zinc alloy plating layer.
[0034] A cadmium plating layer is prepared on the copper-zinc alloy plating layer. The electrode potential of the cadmium plating layer is obviously more negative than that of the copper-zinc alloy plating layer. The cadmium plating layer has an electrochemical protective effect on the copper-zinc alloy plating layer.
[0035] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0036] 1. The cyanide-free cadmium plating method for aerospace alloy steel forging machine parts of the present invention adopts a sulfate electrolytic activation method instead of a pickling activation method, which can effectively remove the chromium trioxide oxide film on the forging surface of the alloy steel forging machine parts and overcome the defect that the existing pickling activation process causes hydrogen embrittlement of the workpiece matrix;
[0037] 2. The cyanide-free cadmium plating method for aerospace alloy steel forging machine additions of the present invention is to perform polymerized thiocyanate copper-zinc alloy plating on the alloy steel substrate, which can further remove the chromium trioxide oxide film remaining on the forging surface of the aerospace alloy steel forging machine additions;
[0038] 3. The cyanide-free cadmium plating method for aerospace alloy steel forging machine parts of the present invention prepares a cadmium plating layer on a copper-zinc alloy plating layer, which effectively overcomes the defect that the cadmium plating layer directly prepared on an alloy steel substrate does not have an electrochemical protection effect.
