Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of metal surface pretreatment, and relates to a cage-type silsesquioxane treatment liquid and a method for preparing a conversion film on a metal surface. Background Art

[0002] The information disclosed in this background technology section is only intended to enhance understanding of the overall background of the invention and should not necessarily be regarded as an admission or any form of suggestion that the information constitutes the prior art already known to those skilled in the art.

[0003] Inorganic passivation technologies for metal surfaces (such as phosphating and chromating) have long been widely used in the metal surface pretreatment industry due to their ability to provide excellent corrosion protection and outstanding adhesion to metal surfaces. However, the high toxicity and carcinogenicity of inorganic chromates and inorganic phosphating sludge seriously harm the ecological environment and affect people's health. In the past two decades, a large number of scientific researchers have turned their research to exploring organic self-assembled films on metal surfaces. However, new organic self-assembled films often face problems such as self-assembled film failure caused by organic-inorganic interface effects, thin self-assembled films, poor wear resistance, or difficulty in providing good adhesion.

[0004] And novel cage type silsesquioxane (POSS) has been applied to coating additives or modified coating fields as a kind of intramolecular organic-inorganic hybrid material, to improve the wear resistance of coating, strengthen aspects such as corrosion resistance.This cage type silsesquioxane has the silicon-oxygen-silicon three-dimensional network structure of peripheral organic chain structure and inner silicon dioxide-like silicon dioxide to form, has the advantages such as the high reactivity of organic material and the high hardness, hydrophobicity of inorganic material concurrently.But POSS material is still imperfect as metal surface pretreatment technology at present.Through the inventor's research discovery, only after metal surface is processed with POSS material, still have the problems such as poor metal corrosion and poor coating adhesion, thereby be difficult to replace phosphating, chromization etc. to the inorganic passivation technology of metal surface. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In order to address the deficiencies of the prior art, the present invention aims to provide a cage-type silsesquioxane treatment liquid and a method for preparing a conversion film on a metal surface. The cage-type silsesquioxane treatment liquid provided by the present invention can form a conversion film layer on the metal surface, which can not only improve the corrosion resistance of the metal, but also improve the bonding strength of the film layer.

[0006] In order to achieve the above object, the technical solution of the present invention is:

[0007] In a first aspect, a cage-type silsesquioxane treatment solution is provided for treating a copper alloy surface. The treatment solution contains octamercaptopropyl silsesquioxane (POSS-SH) at a mass concentration of 0.05 to 5%. The pH value of the treatment solution is adjusted to acidic using an organic acid.

[0008] The present invention adopts a cage-type silsesquioxane containing multiple sulfhydryl groups (-SH). Under acidic conditions, the strong adsorption capacity of the sulfhydryl groups on the copper surface and the adsorption of chloride ions by the cage structure make the chloride ions in the treatment solution affected by the negative charge of the membrane, causing changes in the double electric layer, preventing further adsorption of chloride ions in the treatment solution, and significantly improving its corrosion resistance. At the same time, POSS-SH, as an intramolecular organic-inorganic hybrid material, can provide the film layer with stronger wear resistance and adhesion. At the same time, the use of organic acid to adjust the pH is conducive to closing the active sites on the copper alloy surface through complexation, which is conducive to further improving the corrosion resistance.

[0009] Some embodiments also include a rare earth salt additive at a concentration of 1 to 10 g / L. Studies have shown that the addition of a rare earth salt can synergistically enhance the corrosion resistance of copper alloys with octamercaptopropylsilsesquioxane. This is primarily due to the rare earth metal ions being enriched in the film through coordination and forming rare earth metal oxides during the corrosion process, increasing the film's density and thus preventing further attack by corrosive species.

[0010] In a second aspect, a method for preparing a conversion film on a metal surface comprises pickling a copper alloy with a nitric acid solution, and then immersing the pickled copper alloy in the cage-type silsesquioxane treatment solution described in the first aspect of the present invention for film-forming treatment, so that a chemical conversion film is formed on the surface of the pickled copper alloy.

[0011] In a third aspect, a cage-type silsesquioxane treatment liquid is provided for treating the surface of a steel alloy. The treatment liquid contains octaaminopropyl silsesquioxane (POSS-NH2) at a mass concentration of 0.05 to 5%. The pH value of the treatment liquid is adjusted to acidic using an organic acid.

[0012] The present invention adopts a plurality of primary amino groups (-NH2) in a cage-type silsesquioxane. Under acidic conditions, the strong adsorption capacity of the primary amino group on the iron surface and the cage structure adsorption of chloride ions make the chloride ions in the treatment solution subject to the negative charge of the membrane, and the double electric layer changes, preventing the further adsorption of chloride ions in the treatment solution, thereby significantly improving its corrosion resistance. At the same time, POSS-NH2, as an intramolecular organic-inorganic hybrid material, can provide stronger wear resistance and adhesion for the film layer. At the same time, organic acid is used to adjust the pH, which is conducive to closing the active sites on the surface of the steel alloy by complexation, and is conducive to further improving the corrosion resistance.

[0013] In some embodiments, an additive having a mass concentration of 0.2 to 1.0% is also included, wherein the additive is tetraethyl orthosilicate and / or aminopropyl triethoxysilane. Studies have shown that when tetraethyl orthosilicate or aminopropyl triethoxysilane is further added (especially when tetraethyl orthosilicate or aminopropyl triethoxysilane is added at the same time), it can synergistically enhance the corrosion resistance of steel alloys with octaaminopropyl silsesquioxane. This synergistic effect is mainly reflected in the following: the silanol formed after the hydrolysis of tetraethyl orthosilicate is anchored on the steel surface through chemical adsorption, and further forms a silicon-oxygen network cross-linked structure with the hydrolyzed aminosilanol through dehydration condensation, and finally combines with octaaminopropyl silsesquioxane through hydrogen bonding to provide a chemical conversion film with multiple properties.

[0014] In a fourth aspect, a method for preparing a conversion film on a metal surface comprises pickling a steel alloy with a nitric acid solution, and then immersing the pickled steel alloy in the cage-type silsesquioxane treatment solution described in the third aspect of the present invention for film-forming treatment, so that a chemical conversion film is formed on the surface of the pickled steel alloy.

[0015] The steel alloy described in the present invention refers to steel or alloy steel.

[0016] The beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0017] The present invention adopts different groups to modify POSS material for different metals. The affinity of sulfydryl group to copper is higher and the affinity of amino group to iron is higher, so that POSS material can form conversion film on metal surface self-assembly. At the same time, the organic-inorganic hybrid structure in POSS molecule can reduce the interface effect of organic self-assembled film on metal surface, thereby improving the bonding force of film layer. POSS material has higher hardness, improves the wear resistance of self-assembled film, and reduces the film layer failure problem caused by mechanical damage. The silicon-oxygen silicon and incidental carbon chain structure of POSS material naturally possess good hydrophobicity and have waterproof and dirt-proof effect. Compared with the conversion film formed by other self-assembly, the present invention prepares conversion film on metal surface and has better corrosion resistance.

[0027] Since the existing technology still suffers from problems such as poor metal corrosion and poor coating adhesion after using only POSS materials to treat metal surfaces, the present invention proposes a cage-type silsesquioxane treatment liquid and a method for preparing a conversion film on a metal surface.

Studies have shown that neodymium nitrate is more effective as an additive.

[0033] In some embodiments, the organic acid is acetic acid, which has less steric hindrance and better effect.

[0034] In some embodiments, the pH value of the treatment solution is adjusted to 4-6.

[0035] In some embodiments, the solvent of the treatment liquid is a mixture of tetrahydrofuran and water, specifically, the volume ratio of tetrahydrofuran to water is 1:0.9-1.1.

[0039] In some embodiments, during the pickling process, the mass concentration of the nitric acid solution is 30-50%.

[0040] In some embodiments, the film forming process is performed at a temperature of 20 to 80° C. for 10 to 120 minutes, and then dried.

[0041] A third embodiment of the present invention provides a cage-type silsesquioxane treatment liquid for treating the surface of a steel alloy, wherein the treatment liquid contains octaaminopropyl silsesquioxane at a mass concentration of 0.05 to 5%. The pH value of the treatment liquid is adjusted to acidic using an organic acid.

[0042] In some embodiments, the mass concentration of octaaminopropylsilsesquioxane in the treatment solution is 0.05 to 1.0%, preferably 0.05 to 0.5%, and more preferably 0.1 to 0.5%.

[0043] In some embodiments, the invention further comprises an additive at a mass concentration of 0.2 to 1.0%, wherein the additive is tetraethyl orthosilicate and / or aminopropyl triethoxysilane. Specifically, the additive is tetraethyl orthosilicate and aminopropyl triethoxysilane; preferably, the mass ratio of tetraethyl orthosilicate to aminopropyl triethoxysilane is 1:0.9 to 1.1.

[0046] In some embodiments, the solvent of the treatment liquid is a mixture of ethanol and water, specifically, the volume ratio of ethanol to water is 1:3.5-4.5.

[0047] A fourth embodiment of the present invention provides a method for preparing a conversion film on a metal surface, wherein a steel alloy is pickled with a nitric acid solution, and then the pickled steel alloy is immersed in the above-mentioned cage-type silsesquioxane treatment solution for film-forming treatment, so that a chemical conversion film is formed on the surface of the pickled steel alloy.

[0048] In some embodiments, the steel alloy is degreased before pickling. Specifically, the degreasing process involves immersing the steel alloy in a solution containing a degreasing agent and then scrubbing the steel alloy until the surface becomes hydrophilic. Specifically, the immersion time is 5 to 15 minutes.
