Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the technical field of coatings, and particularly relates to an aqueous self-lubricating fingerprint-resistant coating, its preparation method and application. Background Art

[0002] Galvanizing the surface of steel plates is an economical and effective anti-rust method. Approximately half of the world's zinc is used in this process. The steel plates obtained after galvanizing are called galvanized steel plates and are widely used in the automotive, building materials, household appliances, and mechanical and electrical industries.

[0003] Although the galvanized layer can improve the corrosion resistance of metals, problems such as white rust and even red rust are still likely to occur during use. Moreover, most galvanized steel plates need to be stamped into shape before being put on the market. During the stamping process, on the one hand, due to the friction between the mold and the steel plate, the coating is prone to problems such as cracking and powdering during forming, which affects the appearance quality, dimensional accuracy, and corrosion resistance of the formed parts. Moreover, it will exacerbate the wear of the mold and reduce its service life. On the other hand, some application scenarios require that the deep-drawn surface be a bright surface, the unprocessed surface be the natural color of the galvanized layer or the coating, and both the processed surface and the unprocessed surface maintain excellent corrosion resistance. There is no report in the industry on coatings that meet this requirement. Summary of the Invention

[0004] Based on this, this application provides an aqueous self-lubricating fingerprint-resistant coating. When used on the surface of metals, such as the surface of galvanized steel plates, it can significantly enhance the corrosion resistance of galvanized steel plates, maintain a good appearance, and is suitable for deep-drawing processes. It can make the processed surface of the workpiece after deep drawing have a high gloss and a low surface roughness, and both the processed surface and the unprocessed surface maintain excellent corrosion resistance.

[0021] 30% - 70% of third silica with 100nm < D ≤ 200nm.

[0022] In one embodiment, the coupling agent comprises one or a combination of more of silane coupling agents and titanate coupling agents.

[0026] In one embodiment, in the aqueous self - lubricating fingerprint - resistant coating, the anti - scratching aid is compounded by anti - scratching aids with different particle sizes.

[0027] In one embodiment, the anti-scratch aid is composed of a first anti-scratch aid with a particle size of 0.1 μm to 0.5 μm and a second anti-scratch aid with a particle size of 1 μm to 3 μm in a weight ratio of 1:(1 to 2).

[0028] In one embodiment, the anti-scratch aid is selected from one or a combination of polyethylene, polytetrafluoroethylene, oxidized polyethylene, and silicone dispersions.

[0029] Another object of the present application is to provide a method for preparing the above-mentioned water-based self-lubricating fingerprint-resistant coating, comprising the following steps:

[0030] Mix the compounded silica, coupling agent, compounds of molybdenum, vanadium, titanium, or zirconium, anti-flash rust agent, and anti-scratch aid in water.

[0032] Another object of the present application is to provide a deep-drawing workpiece, at least one surface of which is coated with a coating formed by the above-mentioned water-based self-lubricating fingerprint-resistant coating.

[0033] The present application has at least the following beneficial effects: Silica has excellent wear resistance and corrosion resistance, and can efficiently passivate the surface of the metal substrate. When different particle size silicas are used in combination, the small particle size silica fills the gaps between the large particle size particles. With the use of a coupling agent, film-forming defects can be reduced, adhesion can be improved, surface roughness can be reduced, and the corrosion resistance and wear resistance of the fingerprint-resistant coating can be further enhanced. By using compounds of molybdenum, vanadium, titanium, or zirconium and an anti-flash rust agent in combination, the corrosion resistance of the fingerprint-resistant coating on the surface of the metal substrate can be further improved. By using an anti-scratch aid in combination, the smoothness of the fingerprint-resistant coating can be enhanced, and the anti-scratch property, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance of the coating can be further enhanced.

[0034] For the metal workpiece to be deep-drawn, submicron-sized (particle size of 100 nm to 1 μm) silica and nano-sized silica (particle size < 100 nm) have high hardness and good wear resistance. With the use of a coupling agent and other additives and the deep-drawing process, the metal substrate can be efficiently polished, achieving extremely high polishing accuracy, reducing the surface roughness of the substrate, significantly enhancing the gloss of the processed surface, and enhancing the corrosion resistance of the processed surface. In addition, the unprocessed surface maintains excellent anti-scratch and corrosion resistance.

[0035] It can be seen that through the synergistic cooperation of each component, the present application obtains an aqueous self-lubricating fingerprint-resistant coating with excellent comprehensive performance.

[0051] Galvanized steel sheets are widely used in the automotive, building materials, household appliances, and mechanical and electrical industries. However, traditional galvanized steel sheets are prone to white rust or even red rust problems during use. Moreover, most galvanized steel sheets need to be formed by stamping (such as deep drawing process) before they can be put into market use. During the stamping process, problems such as cracking, powdering, and blackening of the galvanized layer are likely to occur, affecting the appearance quality, dimensional accuracy, and corrosion resistance of the formed parts. In addition, some usage scenarios require that the processed surface after deep drawing is a bright surface, the unprocessed surface is the natural color of the galvanized layer or the coating, and both the processed surface and the unprocessed surface maintain excellent corrosion resistance, but no coatings that can meet this requirement have been found.

[0052] To solve the above problems, this application provides an aqueous self-lubricating fingerprint-resistant coating, which includes the following components by weight percentage:

[0053] 5% - 10% of compounded silica

[0054] 5% - 12% of coupling agent

[0055] 0.1% - 5% of compounds of molybdenum, vanadium, titanium or zirconium

[0056] 0.1% - 2% of anti - flash rust agent

[0057] 1% - 5% of anti - scratching additive and

[0058] 66% - 88.8% of water

[0059] Among them, the compounded silica is composed of nano - scale silica and sub - micron - scale silica.

[0060] In this application, silica (silicon dioxide) has excellent corrosion resistance and can efficiently passivate the surface of metal substrates. When different particle - size silicas are compounded and used, the small - particle - size silica can fill the gaps between large - particle - size particles. With the coupling agent used in combination, it can reduce film - forming defects, make the coating more dense, reduce the surface roughness, and prevent corrosive media from contacting the substrate, further improving the corrosion resistance, weather resistance and durability of the coating. Moreover, by utilizing the high hardness and wear resistance of silica and cooperating with other components in the coating, the scratch resistance and wear resistance of the fingerprint - resistant coating can be significantly improved. In addition, the high specific surface area and surface energy of nano - scale silica can also enhance the adhesion between the coating and the substrate, and as a reinforcing material, improve the overall strength of the coating. By using compounds of molybdenum, vanadium, titanium or zirconium and anti - flash rust agent in combination, the adhesion and corrosion resistance of the fingerprint - resistant coating on the surface of metal substrates (such as galvanized steel) can be further improved. And by using anti - scratching additives in combination, the slipperiness of the fingerprint - resistant coating is enhanced, and the scratch resistance, wear resistance and corrosion resistance of the coating are further enhanced. When the water - based self - lubricating fingerprint - resistant coating of this application is directly used to passivate the surface of metal substrates, the wear resistance, corrosion resistance and scratch resistance of the substrates can be significantly enhanced, and a good appearance can be maintained.

[0061] For the metal workpieces to be deeply drawn, during the deep - drawing process, the sub - micron - scale (particle size of 100 nm - 1 μm) silica and nano - scale silica (particle size < 100 nm) have high hardness and good wear resistance. By using coupling agents and other additives in combination with the deep - drawing process, the metal substrate can be efficiently polished, achieving extremely high polishing accuracy, reducing the surface roughness of the substrate, significantly enhancing the glossiness of the processed surface, and enhancing the corrosion resistance of the processed surface. Moreover, both the processed surface and the unprocessed surface maintain excellent scratch and corrosion resistance, achieving the purpose of simultaneously polishing and passivating the surface of the processed substrate.

[0062] Understandably, by weight percentage, the water-based self-lubricating fingerprint-resistant coating described in this application includes 5% to 10% of compounded silica, including but not limited to 5%, 6%, 7%, 8%, 9%, or 10%. If it is less than 5%, the corrosion resistance, scratch resistance, and fingerprint resistance of the coating are insufficient; if it is higher than 10%, the density of the coating is insufficient, which will also lead to insufficient corrosion resistance, as well as poor adhesion and impact resistance. In one embodiment, by weight percentage, the water-based self-lubricating fingerprint-resistant coating includes 5% to 8% of compounded silica.

[0063] In one embodiment, with D representing the average particle size, by weight percentage of the compounded silica, the compounded silica includes the following components:

[0064] 15% to 40% of the first silica with 1 nm ≤ D ≤ 50 nm,

[0065] 15% to 40% of the second silica with 50 nm < D ≤ 100 nm, and

[0066] 30% to 70% of the third silica with 100 nm < D ≤ 1 μm.

[0067] Using the first silica (nanoscale silica) with 1 nm ≤ D ≤ 50 nm, the second silica (nanoscale silica) with 50 nm < D ≤ 100 nm, and the third silica (submicron-scale silica) with 100 nm < D ≤ 1 μm for compounding can better coordinate the polishing speed and polishing accuracy, quickly smooth and brighten the surface of the substrate, and achieve the purpose of simultaneously polishing and passivating the surface of the processed surface of the substrate.

[0068] In one embodiment, by weight percentage of the compounded silica, the compounded silica includes the following components:

[0069] 20% to 35% of the first silica with 1 nm ≤ D ≤ 50 nm,

[0070] 20% to 35% of the second silica with 50 nm < D ≤ 100 nm, and

[0071] 35% to 60% of the third silica with 100 nm < D ≤ 1 μm.

[0072] In one embodiment, the weight ratio of the first silica, the second silica, and the third silica is 1:(0.8 to 1.2):(1.5 to 3).

[0073] Furthermore, through the research of the inventors, it is found that within a certain range, the smaller the particle size of silica, the larger the specific surface area, the higher the surface energy, the better the dispersibility, and it is easier to form a stable colloidal solution (silica sol), which is used as a film-forming substance in coatings and can significantly improve the film-forming property of coatings and the adhesion between coatings and substrates. In order to coordinate the film-forming property, adhesion, polishing speed and polishing accuracy in this application, nano-scale silica sol and sub-micron-scale silica sol are further selected and used in combination to obtain the compound silica described in this application. Further, silica sol with 100nm < D ≤ 200nm is used as the raw material of the sub-micron-scale silica in this application. It can be understood that for silica sol, its silica accounts for a certain solid content, and the dosage needs to be correspondingly converted when preparing coatings with silica sol. The silica dosage described in this application refers to the solid dosage of silica.

[0074] It can be understood that this application does not impose special restrictions on the source of silica, and it can be commercially available. Exemplarily, it can be selected from Huierte, Lingwei, Baitexin, Delixin Micro-Nano, etc.

[0075] In this application, the coupling agent can improve the dispersibility of silica and the rheology of coatings, and can interact with organic molecules (such as anti-flash rust agents and anti-scratch aids) and inorganic molecules (such as compounds of silica, molybdenum, vanadium, titanium or zirconium) in the water-based self-lubricating fingerprint-resistant coating, significantly improving the adhesion of the coating to the substrate and reducing problems such as coating peeling and flaking. In addition, the coupling agent can also improve the hardness, wear resistance, corrosion resistance and aging resistance of the coating.

[0076] It can be understood that, by weight percentage, the water-based self-lubricating fingerprint-resistant coating described in this application includes 5% - 12% of the coupling agent, including but not limited to 5%, 6%, 7%, 8%, 9%, 10%, 11% or 12%. If it is less than 5%, the adhesion, alkali resistance, solvent resistance and corrosion resistance of the coating will decrease; if it is higher than 12%, it is unfavorable to the appearance, especially the appearance after stamping will deteriorate. In one of the embodiments, by weight percentage, the water-based self-lubricating fingerprint-resistant coating includes 5% - 10% of the silane coupling agent.

[0077] In one embodiment, the coupling agent includes a combination of one or more of a silane coupling agent and a titanate coupling agent. Both the silane coupling agent and the titanate coupling agent can chemically react with organic and inorganic molecules in the coating to form stable chemical bonds, increase the bonding force between the coating and the substrate, improve the adhesion of the coating, and enhance the water resistance, chemical resistance, corrosion resistance, weather resistance and durability of the coating, enabling the coating to better resist the erosion of natural factors such as sunlight, wind and rain in the outdoor environment, reducing the occurrence of problems such as fading, cracking and chalking, and being resistant to salt spray and chemicals, thereby extending the service life of the coating; moreover, the silane coupling agent and the titanate coupling agent can also improve the dispersibility of silica, the leveling property and thixotropy of the coating, and the silane coupling agent can also play a lubricating role in the coating, reducing the viscosity of the coating, making the coating easier to construct and apply. In addition, the silane coupling agent and the titanate coupling agent can also improve the abrasion resistance, hardness and impact resistance of the coating, making the coating more tough and durable.

[0078] In one embodiment, the silane coupling agent is selected from a combination of one or more of an amino silane coupling agent, an epoxy silane coupling agent and a vinyl silane coupling agent. Further, the silane coupling agent is selected from a combination of one or more of γ-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane, γ-aminopropyltriethoxysilane, N-(2-aminoethyl)aminopropyltrimethoxysilane, N-(2-aminoethyl)aminopropylmethyldimethoxysilane, N-(2-aminoethyl)aminopropyltriethoxysilane, N-(2-aminoethyl)aminopropylmethyldiethoxysilane, N-(2-aminoethyl)aminopropylmethyldimethoxysilane, γ-glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane, γ-glycidoxypropyltriethoxysilane, γ-isocyanatopropyltrimethoxysilane and 2-(3,4-epoxycyclohexyl)propyltrimethoxysilane. Exemplarily, the silane coupling agent described in the present application can be selected from a combination of one or more of KH-540, KH-550, KH-792, KH-560 and A-151.

[0079] In one embodiment, the titanate coupling agent is selected from a combination of one or more of a monoalkoxy type, a monoalkoxy pyrophosphate type, a chelating type (such as a product containing an oxyacetic acid chelating group or a product containing an ethylene glycol chelating group) and a coordination type. Further, the titanate coupling agent is selected from a combination of one or more of bis(octyl pyrophosphate)glycolate titanate and bis(dioctyl phosphate)ethylene glycol titanate. Exemplarily, the titanate coupling agent is selected from a combination of one or more of GR-311W, KR-238T, HY311W, NDZ-311, KR-238S and HC-WT.

[0080] In the present application, the compounds of molybdenum, vanadium, titanium or zirconium can be in the form of metal oxides, metal sulfides or metal silicides, or in the form of salts. Exemplarily, the compounds of molybdenum can be selected from one or more combinations of sodium molybdate, ammonium molybdate, molybdenum disulfide, molybdenum trioxide, molybdenum silicide and nickel molybdate. Exemplarily, the compounds of vanadium can be selected from one or more combinations of vanadium pentoxide, vanadium dioxide, ammonium metavanadate and sodium metavanadate. Exemplarily, the compounds of titanium can be selected from one or more combinations of titanium dioxide, titanate, potassium fluotitanate, ammonium fluotitanate, titanium alloy and titanium nickel yellow. Exemplarily, the compounds of zirconium can be selected from one or more combinations of zirconium oxide, zirconium nitrate, zirconium silicate, zirconium phosphate and zirconium fluorosalt.

[0081] In the present application, the compounds of molybdenum, vanadium, titanium or zirconium can improve the adhesion, corrosion resistance and scratch resistance of the coating to the substrate. Specifically, (1) both the compounds of molybdenum and the compounds of vanadium can form a dense passivation film on the metal surface to prevent the corrosion medium (such as oxygen, water, chloride ions) from contacting the metal substrate, showing excellent corrosion inhibition effect; in addition, after the coating is scratched, both the molybdenum compound or the vanadium compound can react with water to generate new passivating substances to fill the scratches, thereby endowing the coating with a certain self-healing ability and good adhesion; the compound of molybdenum (or the compound of vanadium) and the compound of titanium (or the compound of zirconium) are used in combination to form a composite passivation film, synergistically improving the corrosion resistance of the coating. (2) Both the compounds of titanium and the compounds of zirconium can be used for corrosion resistance. Some compounds can also form good chemical bonding with the metal surface, enhancing the adhesion of the coating, and the formed passivation film can effectively prevent the penetration of the corrosion medium, further improving the corrosion resistance of the coating; the compounds of titanium and the compounds of zirconium and the silane coupling agent are used in combination to form an organic-inorganic composite passivation film, which can improve the comprehensive performance of the coating, especially the corrosion resistance.

[0082] It can be understood that, by weight percentage, the water-based self-lubricating fingerprint-resistant coating described in the present application includes 0.1% to 5% of the compounds of molybdenum, vanadium, titanium or zirconium, including but not limited to 0.1%, 0.2%, 0.3%, 0.5%, 0.6%, 0.8%, 0.9%, 1%, 1.5%, 2%, 2.5%, 3%, 3.5%, 4% or 5%. If it is less than 0.1%, there is no obvious improvement effect on the corrosion resistance of the coating; if it is higher than 5%, it may lead to poor stability of the coating. In one embodiment, by weight percentage, the water-based self-lubricating fingerprint-resistant coating includes 1% to 4% of the compounds of molybdenum, vanadium, titanium or zirconium.

[0083] Understandably, the present application can use a single compound of molybdenum, vanadium, titanium, or zirconium, or a combination of multiple compounds. In some embodiments, a single compound of molybdenum, vanadium, titanium, or zirconium is selected. In some embodiments, two or more compounds of molybdenum, vanadium, titanium, and zirconium are selected and used in combination.

[0084] In the present application, the anti-flash rust agent is mainly used to prevent the rapid oxidation of the surface of the metal substrate. Especially during the deep drawing process, under the dual action of deep drawing and silica polishing, the fingerprint-resistant coating and the galvanized layer are damaged. The anti-flash rust agent forms a protective film on the metal surface to prevent moisture and oxygen from contacting the metal, thereby delaying or preventing the occurrence of rust. In addition, by inhibiting the flash rust phenomenon on the metal surface, the anti-flash rust agent can ensure good adhesion between the coating and the metal surface, preventing the coating from peeling off due to rust. Moreover, the anti-flash rust agent cooperates with other components in the coating to provide long-term salt spray resistance and corrosion resistance protection, extend the service life of the metal, and also improve the appearance quality, prevent the metal surface from showing spots or corrosion marks due to flash rust, and maintain the beauty of the metal products.

[0085] Understandably, calculated by weight percentage, the water-based self-lubricating fingerprint-resistant coating described in the present application includes 0.1% - 2% of the anti-flash rust agent, including but not limited to 0.1%, 0.2%, 0.3%, 0.5%, 0.6%, 0.8%, 0.9%, 1%, 1.5%, or 2%. If it is less than 0.1%, there is no obvious improvement effect on the corrosion resistance of the coating; if it is higher than 2%, it may reduce the adhesion, water resistance, and corrosion resistance of the coating. In one embodiment, calculated by weight percentage, the water-based self-lubricating fingerprint-resistant coating includes 0.1% - 1% of the anti-flash rust agent.

[0086] By reasonably selecting the anti-flash rust agent, the present application can effectively inhibit the flash rust phenomenon on the surface of the galvanized sheet, extend its service life, and improve the adhesion and corrosion resistance of the coating.

[0087] In one embodiment, the anti-flash rust agent is selected from one or a combination of more than one of organic amine anti-flash rust agents, phosphate anti-flash rust agents, nitrite anti-flash rust agents, silicate anti-flash rust agents, benzoate anti-flash rust agents, organic zinc salt anti-flash rust agents, and organic calcium salt anti-flash rust agents. Some anti-flash rust agents form a dense oxide film (such as iron oxide) on the metal surface through an oxidation reaction to achieve the purpose of preventing flash rust; some anti-flash rust agents form a precipitation film by reacting with the corrosive medium to achieve the purpose of preventing flash rust; and some anti-flash rust agents form a protective layer by adsorbing polar groups on the metal surface to achieve the purpose of preventing flash rust. It can be understood that a composite anti-flash rust agent can also be used in this application, which has the functions of a corrosion inhibitor, a passivator, and a shielding agent. Further, considering environmental protection, anti-flash rust effect, and the corrosion resistance of the subsequent coating comprehensively, this application preferably uses an anti-flash rust agent that does not contain or contains low levels of nitrite and borate. Exemplarily, the anti-flash rust agent in this application is selected from one or a combination of more than one of Grace HY-77, Elementis NALZIN® FA180, Synthro COR C E660 B from France, Halox FLASH-X® 150, and Borland R60.

[0088] In this application, the anti-scratch additive forms a protective layer on the coating surface, increasing the hardness and wear resistance of the coating, thereby effectively reducing the visibility of scratches and abrasions and extending the service life of the coating. Moreover, the anti-scratch additive can also significantly improve the leveling property and slipperiness of the coating surface and reduce friction. In addition, the anti-scratch additive can enhance the chemical resistance and weather resistance of the coating, enabling it to maintain good performance in harsh environments (such as high temperature, ultraviolet radiation, or acid-base environments, etc.), and contributing to improving the flexibility and crack resistance of the coating, reducing cracks generated by temperature changes or mechanical stress in the coating, making the self-lubricating fingerprint-resistant coating of this application particularly suitable for galvanized steel sheets and subsequent deep drawing processes.

[0089] It can be understood that, by weight percentage, the waterborne self-lubricating fingerprint-resistant coating in this application includes 1% - 5% of the anti-scratch additive, including but not limited to 1%, 1.5%, 2%, 2.5%, 3%, 3.5%, 4%, or 5%. If it is less than 1%, the lubricity is insufficient; if it is higher than 5%, the corrosion resistance and solvent resistance of the coating may deteriorate. In one embodiment, by weight percentage, the waterborne self-lubricating fingerprint-resistant coating includes 2% - 4% of the anti-scratch additive.

[0090] In one embodiment, the anti-scratch additive is compounded from anti-scratch additives with different particle sizes.

[0091] In one embodiment, the anti-scratch additive is composed of a first anti-scratch additive with a particle size of 0.1 μm to 0.5 μm and a second anti-scratch additive with a particle size of 1 μm to 3 μm in a weight ratio of 1:(1 to 2). It can be understood that the particle size of the first anti-scratch additive includes but is not limited to 0.1 μm, 0.15 μm, 0.2 μm, 0.25 μm, 0.3 μm, 0.35 μm, 0.4 μm, 0.45 μm or 0.5 μm. The particle size of the second anti-scratch additive includes but is not limited to 1 μm, 1.5 μm, 2 μm, 2.5 μm or 3 μm. The anti-scratch additive with a large particle size has a lower specific gravity and can float on the surface of the coating to play an anti-scratch role. The specific gravity of the anti-scratch additive with a small particle size is close to that of the coating mixture and can penetrate the entire polymer network to improve the smoothness of the entire film layer. Through the compounding and synergy of anti-scratch additives with different particle sizes, the fingerprint-resistant coating exhibits high smoothness, anti-scratch property, wear resistance and corrosion resistance, thus ensuring the secondary processing quality of metals (such as galvanized steel sheets).

[0092] In one embodiment, the anti-scratch additive is selected from one or a combination of polyethylene, polytetrafluoroethylene, polyethylene oxide and silicone dispersions. It can be understood that the types of the first anti-scratch additive and the second anti-scratch additive are independent of each other and can be the same or different. Therefore, the first anti-scratch additive and the second anti-scratch additive are independently selected from one or a combination of polyethylene, polytetrafluoroethylene, polyethylene oxide and silicone dispersions respectively.

[0093] In one embodiment, the anti-scratch additive is polyethylene wax. Utilizing the good chemical stability of polyethylene wax, the corrosion resistance, water resistance, chemical resistance and weather resistance of the coating are improved. Moreover, polyethylene wax can form a protective layer on the surface of the coating film, significantly improving the anti-scratch property and wear resistance of the coating. And due to its low friction coefficient, it can improve the smoothness of the coating film and has the effect of optimizing the rheological properties of the coating, improving the workability. Further, through the compounding of polyethylene wax with different particle sizes and the synergistic cooperation with other components in the coating, the comprehensive performance of the coating is enhanced, especially the corrosion resistance, anti-scratch and wear resistance of the coating. Applying this coating to the surface of a passivated metal substrate can significantly enhance the wear and corrosion resistance of the metal substrate (such as galvanized steel sheet), thus ensuring the secondary processing quality of the galvanized steel sheet. It is particularly suitable for the deep drawing process and can enable the workpiece after deep drawing to still maintain a good appearance and excellent wear and corrosion resistance. It can be understood that there is no special limitation on the source of the polyethylene wax in this application, and it can be self-made or purchased. Exemplarily, the polyethylene wax described in this application can be selected from the aqueous wax emulsion products of Longhai Chemical Industry, Yijiu Chemical Industry or Wengkel.

[0094] Another object of this application is to provide a preparation method of the aqueous self-lubricating fingerprint-resistant coating, including the following steps:

[0095] Mix the compounded silica, coupling agent, compounds of molybdenum, vanadium, titanium or zirconium, anti-flash rust agent and anti-scratch aid in water.

[0096] In one embodiment, the small-particle-size anti-scratch aid is added in portions, and the instantaneous shear force is increased through cyclic operations of stirring, stopping stirring and then restarting stirring, so that the small-particle-size anti-scratch aid is fully dispersed in the mixture, and the smoothness of the coating is further improved during film formation.

[0097] In one embodiment, the preparation method of the aqueous self-lubricating fingerprint-resistant coating includes the following steps:

[0098] S100: Under the condition of 40°C to 60°C, mix the compounded silica, coupling agent, compounds of molybdenum, vanadium, titanium or zirconium and anti-flash rust agent in water to prepare a first mixed solution;

[0099] S200: Slowly add a first anti-scratch aid with a particle size of 0.1 μm to 0.5 μm to the first mixed solution, adding it in 2 to 5 portions, and stirring for 10 min to 15 min after each addition; after the small-particle-size polyethylene wax dispersion is added, add a second anti-scratch aid with a particle size of 1 μm to 3 μm in multiple portions, and continuously stir for 5 min to 10 min.

[0100] Further, the stirring speed in step S100 is 100 rpm to 120 rpm. The stirring speed in step S200 is 200 rpm to 500 rpm.

[0102] In one embodiment, the metal material is steel, galvanized steel sheet, galvanized alloy steel sheet, aluminized steel sheet, aluminum sheet, chemically treated galvanized steel sheet, chemically treated galvanized alloy steel sheet, chemically treated aluminized steel sheet, chemically treated aluminum sheet or PCM steel sheet.

[0103] In one embodiment, the present application provides a galvanized steel sheet, at least one surface of which is coated with a coating formed by the aqueous self-lubricating fingerprint-resistant coating as described above. The fingerprint-resistant coating is continuous, uniform, smooth, flat, without traces (tensile marks, indentations, scratches, friction black lines) and stripes, showing good appearance. In addition, after testing, the galvanized steel sheet has excellent wear resistance, anti-scratch property, impact resistance, alkali resistance and corrosion resistance.

[0104] Another object of the present application is to provide a deep-drawing workpiece, at least one surface of which is coated with a coating formed by the water-based self-lubricating fingerprint-resistant coating as described above. Further, the surface of the workpiece before deep drawing is coated with a coating formed by the water-based self-lubricating fingerprint-resistant coating as described above. After deep drawing, the glossiness of the processed surface (drawing / deep-drawing surface) of the deep-drawing workpiece increases, the surface roughness decreases, and the appearance is good; the unprocessed surface is coated with a coating formed by the water-based self-lubricating fingerprint-resistant coating of the present application (optionally, the thickness of the coating is 0.5 μm to 3 μm), and the coating is continuous, uniform, smooth, flat, without traces (drawing traces, indentations, scratches, friction black lines) and stripes, showing a good appearance. In addition, after testing, both the processed surface and the unprocessed surface have excellent wear resistance, scratch resistance, alkali resistance and corrosion resistance, so that both the processed surface and the unprocessed surface can maintain their respective good appearances for a long time.

[0276] Detection test

[0277] Select 21 galvanized steel sheets of the same size and shape (numbered 1 to 21), and use the water-based self-lubricating fingerprint-resistant coatings prepared in equal amounts in Examples 1 to 13 and Comparative Examples 1 to 8 to perform surface passivation treatment on the galvanized steel sheets to obtain 21 groups of galvanized steel sheets with surface passivation treatment. The coating thickness is 1 μm to 2 μm, and then deep drawing treatment is carried out through a high-speed deep drawing testing machine and a special mold to prepare deep-drawn workpieces numbered 1 to 21 (wherein, the 1st galvanized steel sheet is made into the 1st deep-drawn workpiece, the 2nd galvanized steel sheet is made into the 2nd deep-drawn workpiece..., and so on, the 21st galvanized steel sheet is made into the 1st deep-drawn workpiece), and the stress deformation area is used as the processing surface, and the unpunched surface is used as the unprocessed surface. The following methods are used to evaluate the processing surface and unprocessed surface of the deep-drawn workpieces numbered 1 to 21, and the test results are shown in Table 2 and Figures 1 to 2 。

[0278] 1. Alkali resistance

[0279] Immerse the processed surface and unprocessed surface of the deep-drawn workpiece after passivation treatment in a 2% sodium hydroxide solution (w%) at 60 °C for 2 min, then rinse with water and blow dry, and observe the surface appearance change with the naked eye. The evaluation criteria are as follows: Grade I: There are no traces on the coating surface; Grade II: There are corrosion white spots that can be observed with the naked eye on the coating surface; Grade III: The coating begins to dissolve or peel off.

[0280] 3. Corrosion resistance

[0281] Perform a salt spray test (JIS Z 2371) on the processed surface and unprocessed surface of the deep-drawn workpiece. 1. Visually measure the red rust resistance of the processed surface of the deep-drawn workpiece, evaluate the time when the red rust area reaches 5%, in hours; 2. Visually measure the white rust resistance of the unprocessed surface of the deep-drawn workpiece, evaluate the time when the white rust area reaches 5%, in hours.

[0282] 4. Scratch resistance

[0283] Use an HB eraser with a load of 500 g to rub back and forth on the processed surface and unprocessed surface of the deep-drawn workpiece 10 times, and visually observe and evaluate the surface appearance change. The evaluation criteria are as follows: Grade I: There are no traces on the rubbed part; Grade II: There are traces that can be observed with the naked eye on the rubbed part; Grade III: There are obvious white traces on the rubbed part and cracks appear.

[0284] 5. Glossiness of the deep-drawn processing surface:

[0285] Use a Keshijia WGG60-EJ metal glossiness meter to measure the surface glossiness of the processed surface and unprocessed surface of the deep-drawn workpiece, in GU.

[0286] 6. Surface roughness:

[0287] The surface roughness of the processed and unprocessed surfaces of the deep-drawing workpieces was measured using a Kaida NDT110 surface roughness tester, and the Ra data was recorded in μm.

[0288] Table 2 Effect data of the above-mentioned deep-drawing workpieces numbered 1 to 21

[0289]

[0290] Figure 1 It is the effect diagram after passivating the galvanized steel workpiece with the water-based self-lubricating fingerprint-resistant coating in Example 1 of this application and then performing the deep-drawing process. It can be seen from Figure 1 that the processed surface after deep-drawing is very bright, achieving a bright surface effect, while the unprocessed surface has a matte effect.

[0291] Figure 2 It is the effect diagram after passivating the galvanized steel workpiece with the water-based self-lubricating fingerprint-resistant coating in Example 2 of this application and then performing the deep-drawing process. It can be seen from Figure 2 that the processed surface after deep-drawing is very bright, achieving a bright surface effect, while the unprocessed surface has a matte effect.

[0292] Combined with Table 2 and Figures 1 to 2It can be seen that compared with Comparative Examples 1 to 3 that use one type of silica raw material, Comparative Example 4 only uses nanoscale silica in compounding and omits sub-micron silica, Comparative Example 5 uses nanoscale silica and micron-scale silica in compounding, Comparative Example 6 uses too much compounded silica, Comparative Example 7 uses too little compounded silica, and Comparative Example 8 uses too little coupling agent. Examples 1 to 13 of the present application use nanoscale silica and sub-micron silica in compounding and are used in combination with a coupling agent, a compound of molybdenum, vanadium, titanium or zirconium, an anti-flash rust agent, an anti-scratch aid and water, and reasonably control the amounts of each component. The comprehensive performance of the prepared water-based self-lubricating fingerprint-resistant coating is more excellent. When it is used on the surface of a passivated galvanized steel sheet (see the unprocessed surface), the appearance is good, the coating is continuous, uniform, smooth, flat, without traces (tensile marks, indentations, scratches, friction black lines) and stripes, and can significantly enhance the alkali resistance, corrosion resistance and anti-scratch performance of the galvanized steel sheet. Moreover, the fingerprint-resistant coatings of Examples 1 to 13 can make the processed surface of the galvanized steel sheet workpiece very bright after deep drawing, and maintain excellent alkali resistance, corrosion resistance and anti-scratch performance. The inventor guesses that this may be because during the deep drawing process, the grains of the base steel will reorient due to plastic deformation, the grains will elongate, the texture will change, and the grain size is in the micron level (usually the short axis / radial direction is 5 μm to 30 μm, and the long axis is 10 μm to 100 μm). The sub-micron silica (particle size 100 nm to 1 μm), with a particle size between nano and micron, has a very high hardness, and has both certain mechanical grinding ability and chemical activity. Through the deep drawing action, it can quickly polish the surface of the galvanized steel sheet, while maintaining good surface quality, and play a role in medium-precision grinding or polishing; while the nanoscale silica (particle size <100 nm) has a very small particle size and also has the characteristics of high hardness and wear resistance. Combined with the deep drawing process, it can significantly reduce the surface roughness, make the surface flat, achieve extremely high polishing accuracy, and reduce the surface roughness of the substrate. In addition, the nanoscale and sub-micron silica particles can also fill the gaps between large-particle-size particles, such as infiltrating or filling into the micron-scale gaps between metal grains under the deep drawing action, further reducing the surface roughness of the substrate, achieving higher polishing efficiency and surface quality, and playing the corrosion-resistant role of silica, significantly improving the corrosion resistance of the processed surface after deep drawing. By using a coupling agent and other additives in combination, the processed surface of the deep-drawn metal workpiece has a high gloss, a low surface roughness, excellent anti-scratch performance, and both the processed surface and the unprocessed surface maintain excellent corrosion resistance, achieving the purpose of simultaneously polishing and passivating the surface of the substrate processed surface.

[0293] In summary, on the one hand, the water-based self-lubricating fingerprint-resistant coating of the present application can be directly used on the surface of a passivated metal substrate, significantly enhancing the wear resistance, alkali resistance, corrosion resistance, and scratch resistance of the metal substrate (such as galvanized steel sheet) and maintaining a good appearance. On the other hand, it can be used for metal workpieces to be deeply drawn, achieving the purpose of simultaneously polishing and passivating the surface of the substrate, reducing the surface roughness of the processed surface, significantly improving the gloss, corrosion resistance, and scratch resistance of the processed surface of the workpiece, and broadening the application range of the product to meet different market demands.
