Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of ship protection materials, and particularly to a stainless steel passivation film for ship fittings and a preparation method thereof. Background Art
[0002] Ships are in a harsh marine environment with high salinity, high humidity and alternating wet and dry conditions for a long time, and their protective coatings need to meet multiple requirements such as corrosion resistance, anti-biofouling, anti-mechanical impact and rapid repair at the same time.
[0003] In modern industry, stainless steel is widely used in various fields due to its excellent corrosion resistance, high strength and beautiful appearance, especially in the manufacture of ship fittings. However, even though stainless steel itself has good corrosion resistance, in extreme environments such as the marine environment with high salinity, high humidity and strong ultraviolet radiation, additional protection measures are still required to extend its service life and ensure the safety and reliability of equipment.
[0004] Traditional stainless steel passivation treatment usually uses passivators containing chromates or dichromates to form a protective film. This passivation film can improve the corrosion resistance of the stainless steel surface to a certain extent, but has the following deficiencies:
[0005] Environmental pollution problem: Chromates and dichromates belong to heavy metal compounds, and a large amount of harmful wastewater will be generated during their production and use, causing serious pollution to the environment, and these substances also have potential hazards to human health.
[0006] Limited durability: Although traditional passivation films can provide a certain degree of anti-corrosion effect in the short term, when exposed to harsh environments for a long time, their protective ability will gradually weaken, resulting in pitting corrosion or other forms of corrosion on the metal surface.
[0007] Single function limitation: Traditional passivation films mainly focus on improving the corrosion resistance of materials, but perform poorly in terms of wear resistance and anti-ultraviolet aging. For ship fittings, in addition to facing the erosion of seawater, they also need to withstand mechanical wear and strong sunlight irradiation, which puts higher requirements on the passivation film.
[0008] Lack of real-time monitoring means: At present, most passivation films do not have self-detection or early warning functions. Once local corrosion occurs, it is often difficult to detect and handle in time, increasing the maintenance cost and risk.
[0009] In the manufacturing process of ship fittings, traditional stainless steel passivators are often difficult to meet the requirements of high corrosion resistance, good adhesion and chemical stability at the same time. Especially in the marine environment with high salinity, high humidity and strong ultraviolet radiation, ordinary passivation films are prone to failure, resulting in corrosion of the metal surface and affecting the service life and safety of equipment. Summary of the Invention
[0010] Aiming at the deficiencies of the prior art, the present invention provides a stainless steel passivation film for ship fittings and a preparation method thereof. The passivation film has excellent corrosion resistance, wear resistance and ultraviolet resistance, and is particularly suitable for application scenarios with extremely high requirements for weather resistance and corrosion resistance in marine environments.
[0011] According to the first aspect of the present invention, a stainless steel passivation film for ship fittings is provided, which is prepared from the following components and parts by weight:
[0012] 4-6 parts of multifunctional nanocomposite material (MNC): including nanoparticles composed of ZnO / ZnFe2O4 heterojunction and Ti3C2Tx / MXene composite,
[0013] 3-5 parts of electrochromic-anticorrosion bifunctional material: PANI@Cs x WO3 (cesium tungstate) formed by wrapping Cs x WO3 core-shell microspheres, wherein Cs x WO3 accounts for 15-30% of the total mass of the PANI@Cs x WO3 core-shell microspheres;
[0014] 1-2 parts of bionic reinforcement component: including polydopamine (PDA) coating and nanocrystalline cellulose (NCC), wherein the mass ratio of the polydopamine (PDA) coating to the nanocrystalline cellulose (NCC) is (1:1)-(2:1);
[0015] 2-3 parts of corrosion inhibitor carrier: phytic acid-modified ZrO2 nanoclusters, wherein the chelation molar ratio of phytic acid to ZrO2 is (1:1)-(1:2);
[0016] 2-4 parts of silane coupling agent: selected from γ-aminopropyltriethoxysilane or γ-(2,3-epoxypropoxy)propyltrimethoxysilane;
[0017] 0.5-1.5 parts of dispersion stabilizer: including sodium carboxymethylcellulose (CMC-Na) and amphiphilic block copolymer PS-b-PAA, and the mass ratio of the sodium carboxymethylcellulose (CMC-Na) to the amphiphilic block copolymer (PS-b-PAA) is (3:1)-(5:1);
[0018] 0.2-0.6 parts of conductive enhancer: a mixture of carbon nanotubes and graphene quantum dots (GQDs) treated by ultrasonic-microwave synergistic exfoliation method, and the mass ratio of the carbon nanotubes to the graphene quantum dots (GQDs) is (1:2)-(2:1);
[0019] The balance is deionized water.
[0020] Multifunctional Nanocomposite (MNC): ZnO / ZnFe2O4@Ti3C2Tx / MXene / MoS2 Quantum Dot System:
[0021] The multifunctional nanocomposite (MNC) used in this invention consists of ZnO (wide-bandgap semiconductor), ZnFe2O4 (narrow-bandgap semiconductor), Ti3C2Tx / MXene coating layer, and MoS2 quantum dots. By precisely regulating the energy band structure and interfacial coupling relationship between the components, a type-II heterojunction structure with efficient charge separation ability is constructed.
[0022] ZnO / ZnFe2O4 Heterojunction Design:
[0023] ZnO has a relatively wide bandgap (~3.37 eV) and excellent photocatalytic activity; while ZnFe2O4 is a p-type magnetic semiconductor with a bandgap of about 1.9 eV. A type-II heterojunction is formed in their energy band structures, enabling electrons to migrate from ZnFe2O4 to the conduction band of ZnO under light excitation, while holes remain in the valence band of ZnFe2O4.
[0024] This spatial charge separation mechanism significantly improves the lifetime and separation efficiency of photo-generated carriers. Through ultraviolet-visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (UV-Vis DRS) testing, it shows that the separation efficiency of photo-generated electron-hole pairs in this heterojunction system can reach over 78% under simulated sunlight irradiation, thus achieving efficient degradation of organic pollutants (degradation rate > 90%) and endowing the passivation film with excellent self-cleaning performance.
[0025] Magnetic Auxiliary Function of ZnFe2O4:
[0026] ZnFe2O4 has a good saturation magnetization (about 35 emu / g), which can effectively adsorb Fe 3+ ions released during the corrosion process, reduce the metal dissolution in the local anodic area, inhibit pitting initiation, and improve the stability and repair ability of the passivation film.
[0027] Function of Ti3C2Tx / MXene Coating Layer:
[0028] Ti3C2Tx / MXene is a two-dimensional transition metal carbide with excellent electrical conductivity (≈6000 S / cm) and chemical stability. It coats the surface of ZnO / ZnFe2O4 in the form of flakes, not only serving as an efficient electron transport channel to accelerate the charge transfer process at the heterojunction interface, but also effectively inhibiting the photo-corrosion behavior of ZnO under light conditions.
[0029] Meanwhile, through the surface modification with octadecyltrichlorosilane, MXene exhibits hydrophobic characteristics (water contact angle ≥ 110°), significantly reducing the wettability of seawater on the passivation film. The contact angle hysteresis is less than 5°, thereby enhancing the moisture resistance of the material in the marine environment.
[0030] Mechanism of MoS2 quantum dot doping:
[0031] MoS2 quantum dots are uniformly distributed on the surface of the heterojunction. It is rich in sulfur vacancies, and these defect sites can serve as the capture centers for Cl- ions. XPS analysis confirms that the binding energy of the S2p orbital in MoS2 shifts by 1.2 eV, indicating an obvious change in the electronic state, further verifying the existence of sulfur vacancies and their strong adsorption ability for Cl-.
[0032] This mechanism effectively delays the pitting initiation process induced by Cl- and enhances the long-term stability of the passivation film at high chloride ion concentrations.
[0033] Electrochromic-anticorrosion bifunctional material: PANI@Cs x WO3 core-shell microspheres:
[0034] In this invention, a core-shell structure microsphere formed by wrapping cesium tungstate (Cs x WO3) with polyaniline (PANI) is innovatively introduced, which has both excellent anticorrosion performance and real-time corrosion visualization monitoring function.
[0035] Redox activity of the PANI shell:
[0036] PANI exists in the form of Emeraldine salt and has a high conductivity (10 -1 S / cm). Its redox characteristics can promote the transformation of Fe 2+ to Fe 3+ on the stainless steel surface and assist the self-repair process of the passivation film.
[0037] Through electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) testing, it is found that in the passivation film system containing this material, the low-frequency impedance value increases by two orders of magnitude, indicating that it significantly enhances the barrier effect and corrosion resistance of the film layer.
[0038] Cs x Electrochromic response mechanism of the Cs
[0039] Cs x WO3 is a typical near-infrared absorption type electrochromic material. When the x value is controlled between 0.3 - 0.5, it has good optical modulation ability and stability.
[0040] In the initial stage of corrosion, due to the change of local potential, Cs xW in WO3 6+ is reduced to W 5+ , resulting in a red shift of its absorption peak in the visible light region (Δλ = 120 nm), triggering an obvious color change from blue to dark gray (ΔE = 7.2), which can be recognized by the naked eye.
[0041] This color change phenomenon is highly linearly correlated with the corrosion potential (R 2 > 0.9), realizing a non-invasive and visual early warning function for early corrosion events, providing an intuitive basis for the maintenance of ship fittings.
[0042] Bionic enhancement component: PDA-NCC composite structure
[0043] To improve the adhesion and mechanical stability of the passivation film, the present invention introduces a bionic enhancement component based on polydopamine (PDA) and nanocrystalline cellulose (NCC), mimicking the biological adhesion and structure strengthening mechanisms in nature.
[0044] Strong interaction between the PDA coating and the metal surface:
[0045] PDA molecules contain abundant catechol and amino functional groups, which can be tightly bound to the Fe-OH groups on the stainless steel surface through pentadentate coordination. FTIR tests show that a characteristic peak appears at 1620 cm -1 , confirming the formation of coordination bonds.
[0046] The interfacial bonding force reaches grade 5B in ASTM D3359 standard, and the interfacial binding energy reaches 12.5 J / m 2 (scratch test), greatly improving the adhesion performance of the passivation film.
[0047] When local corrosion causes the medium pH to rise above 9, PDA can release NH4 + , neutralize acidic corrosion products, and slow down the corrosion process.
[0048] Structural strengthening effect of NCC:
[0049] Nanocrystalline cellulose (NCC) forms a three-dimensional network structure with sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC-Na) through hydrogen bonds, and the storage modulus G’ is increased to 850 Pa, significantly enhancing the flexibility and crack propagation resistance of the passivation film.
[0050] Experimental results show that this structure can increase the crack propagation resistance by 3 times, effectively preventing the formation of microcracks in the film layer due to mechanical stress or thermal expansion and contraction.
[0051] Corrosion inhibitor carrier: phytic acid-ZrO2 nanoclusters
[0052] To achieve the long-term corrosion inhibition effect of the passivation film, the present invention designs an intelligent responsive corrosion inhibitor carrier - phytic acid (Phytic Acid) modified ZrO2 nanoclusters.
[0053] Supramolecular structure construction and slow release mechanism:
[0054] Phytic acid molecules contain 6 phosphate groups and can react with Zr 4+ to form a stable [Zr(Phy)] 2- supramolecular structure. Dynamic light scattering (DLS) tests show that this structure has a strong negative charge (Zeta potential = -42 mV), ensuring its uniform dispersion in the passivation solution.
[0055] Under Cl - erosion conditions, the [Zr(Phy)] 2- structure gradually dissociates, releasing Phy 6- anions. Phy 6- can react with Fe 2+ to form a dense chelate protection layer (SEM images show a thickness < 100 nm), effectively preventing further metal dissolution.
[0056] Role of nanoclusters in filling pores:
[0057] The particle size of ZrO2 nanoclusters is controlled at about 5 nm, which can effectively fill the internal micropores of the passivation film. The results of mercury intrusion porosimetry tests show that the porosity of the film layer decreases from the original 8% to 0.3%, significantly reducing the penetration path of corrosive media and improving the overall shielding performance.
[0058] To improve the interfacial bonding force and component dispersion stability between the passivation film and the stainless steel substrate, the present invention adopts a strategy of synergistic action of silane coupling agent and amphiphilic block copolymer PS-b-PAA.
[0059] Interface modification effect of silane coupling agent:
[0060] The selected silane coupling agent (such as γ-aminopropyltriethoxysilane or γ-glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane) can form Si-O-Fe covalent bonds with Fe-OH on the stainless steel surface. XPS analysis shows that the Fe 2p3 / 2 peak shifts by 0.8 eV, indicating an obvious interfacial chemical reaction.
[0061] This interfacial bonding mode makes the bonding energy between the passivation film and the substrate as high as 12.5 J / m 2 , greatly improving the overall adhesion and durability of the film layer.
[0062] Stabilizing effect of PS-b-PAA dispersant:
[0063] In the amphiphilic block copolymer PS-b-PAA, the PAA chain segment can be adsorbed on the surface of nanoparticles such as carbon nanotubes and graphene quantum dots through hydrogen bonding (the adsorption amount reaches 1.2 mg / m 2 ), effectively preventing their aggregation.
[0064] In this system, the absolute value of the Zeta potential of the nanomaterials is greater than 40 mV, ensuring their good dispersion stability in the passivation solution for more than 30 days, which is beneficial to the implementation of subsequent coating processes.
[0065] According to the embodiments of the present invention, MoS2 quantum dots are doped in the ZnO / ZnFe2O4 heterojunction, and the loading amount of the MoS2 quantum dots is 0.5-1.5% of the total mass of the ZnO / ZnFe2O4 heterojunction.
[0066] According to the embodiments of the present invention, the particle size of the phytic acid-modified ZrO2 nanoclusters is 3-8 nm;
[0067] The surface of the phytic acid-modified ZrO2 nanoclusters has a porous coordination network formed by phytic acid phosphate groups and Zr 4+ with a pore size of 0.5-2 nm.
[0068] According to the embodiments of the present invention, the shell layer of polyaniline in the PANI@Cs x WO3 core-shell microspheres is in the form of Emeraldine salt, and the x value of Cs x WO3 is 0.3-0.5.
[0069] According to the embodiments of the present invention, the surface of the Ti3C2Tx / MXene is modified with octadecyltrichlorosilane to make its water contact angle ≥ 110°.

[0071] Ti3C2Tx / MXene is coated on the surface of the ZnO / ZnFe2O4 heterojunction in the form of sheets, and the sheet thickness ≤ 10 nm.
[0072] According to the embodiments of the present invention, the passivation film has a film thickness of 5-20 μm and a neutral salt spray test tolerance time ≥ 3500 h.
[0073] According to the embodiments of the present invention, in the initial stage of corrosion, the passivation film shows a visible color change (ΔE>5) through the electrochromic effect of Cs x WO3, and the color change area is linearly correlated with the corrosion potential distribution (R2>0.9).
[0074] According to a second aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method for preparing a stainless steel passivation film for ship fittings, comprising the following steps:
[0075] Step S1: Prepare a multifunctional nanocomposite (MNC): Dissolve Zn(NO3)2·6H2O and Fe(NO3)3·9H2O in deionized water according to a Zn:Fe molar ratio of (2-4):1, add sodium citrate as a complexing agent, adjust the pH to 9-10, and perform a hydrothermal reaction (120-150 °C, 6-8 h) to generate a ZnO / ZnFe2O4 heterojunction;
