Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of electroplating, and more specifically, to an electroplating process for a multi-element metal anti-corrosion coating. Background Art
[0002] Oilfield surface pipelines are a core component of the oil and gas transportation system, and their safe and stable operation is directly related to the development benefits and ecological safety of the oil and gas fields. However, these pipelines are mostly made of carbon steel and are exposed to complex media containing water, CO2, H2S, microorganisms, and chloride ions for long periods of time, making corrosion a particularly prominent problem. Among them, CO2 corrosion is the most common and destructive form of failure in oilfield surface pipelines. Especially in environments containing water, chloride ions, and gaseous CO2, the carbon steel surface is prone to localized corrosion and pitting, which can lead to pipeline perforation or other failures in severe cases.
[0003] To address these challenges, electroplating metal anti-corrosion coatings has become a key approach to improving pipeline corrosion resistance. This technology uses electrolysis to deposit one or more layers of metal / alloy coatings on the surface of a carbon steel substrate, creating a dual mechanism of physical barrier and electrochemical protection, significantly extending pipeline service life.
[0004] The patent application document with publication number CN113416990 discloses a process for preparing metal-coated anti-corrosion pipes, which includes the following preparation steps: S1. Surface treatment: first, the surface of the pipe is degreased and derusted, and then treated with a zinc-manganese medium-temperature phosphating solution; S2. Bottom layer electroplating: nickel-cobalt electroplating is performed on the inner and outer surfaces of the treated pipe to form a bottom layer nickel-cobalt alloy coating; S3. Electrophoretic coating: acrylic paint is electrophoretically coated on the outer wall of the bottom layer nickel-cobalt alloy coating; S4. Winding conductive wire: winding the conductive wire on the outer wall of the pipe, wherein both ends of the conductive wire extend to the outside of the pipe; S5. Middle layer electroplating: middle layer nickel-cobalt electroplating is performed on the outer wall of the pipe to form a middle layer nickel-cobalt alloy coating; S6. Coating treatment: a layer of hydrophobic isolation substance is coated on the outer wall of the pipe, and the hydrophobic isolation substance is used to improve the hydrophobicity of the pipe; S7. Insulation treatment: a layer of insulation layer is coated on the outer wall of the pipe.
[0005] In this technical solution, the nickel-cobalt alloy passivation film is mainly composed of NiO and CoO. In an environment containing chloride ions, it is easy to form stable complexes with the metal ions in the passivation film, causing the passivation film to continue to dissolve, destroying the electrochemical protection barrier that the pipe originally relied on; and the columnar crystals of the nickel-cobalt alloy coating have a columnar crystal structure. Chloride ions can penetrate the film layer through dual paths of lattice diffusion and grain boundary penetration. When chloride ions gather at the grain boundaries, a "chloride ion concentration cell" is formed, which in turn causes intergranular corrosion and weakens the corrosion resistance of the pipe. Summary of the Invention
[0006] In order to improve the anti-corrosion performance in complex media containing water, chloride ions and carbon dioxide, the present application provides an electroplating process for a multi-element metal anti-corrosion coating.
[0007] The present application provides an electroplating process for a multi-element metal anti-corrosion coating, which adopts the following technical solutions: The electroplating process of the multi-element metal anti-corrosion coating of the present application comprises the following steps: S1: roughening the surface of the substrate, degreasing it, and performing pickling and activation to obtain a pretreated substrate; S2: electroplating on the surface of the pretreated substrate to form a composite bottom layer of Al-Zn-Mo-nano silicon carbide-fluorinated graphene; S3: forming a polyethyleneimine-nano-silica composite film on the surface of the composite base layer by electrophoretic coating; S4: electroplating a Ni-Mo-PB gradient functional layer on the surface of the composite film by pulse-DC coupled electroplating; S5: Electroplating a Ni-WP-nano zinc oxide surface layer is performed on the surface of the gradient functional layer.
[0008] In this scheme, a rough and clean interface suitable for electroplating is formed on the surface of the substrate by pre-treating the substrate. The composite bottom layer is based on Al-Zn-Mo alloy. Zn forms a micro-battery at the damaged part of the passivation film through a lower electrode potential, dissolving preferentially to provide cathodic protection, while Al forms a barrier protection through the passivation film, and the two form a synergistic mechanism. MoO4 2- After being partially reduced to an intermediate state, some molybdate is generated, which repairs the micropores of the passivation film, making it more stable and dense, improving the resistance of the passivation film to chloride ion corrosion and its repassivation ability, and inhibiting the initiation of pitting corrosion. Nano-silicon carbide and fluorinated graphene are evenly dispersed in the coating to form a composite physical barrier; in the electrophoretic coating composite film, the amino group in the polyethyleneimine bonds with the hydroxyl group on the surface of the composite bottom passivation film to improve the interface bonding strength, and the nano-silicon dioxide fills the pores to improve the density; pulse-DC coupled electroplating regulates the composition and structure of the coating: a high-phosphorus amorphous layer is formed in the initial pulse stage, and a nickel-rich crystalline layer is generated in the terminal DC stage, achieving a gradient structure with a decreasing phosphorus content from the inside to the outside, thereby achieving a gradient change in the molybdenum and phosphorus content from the inside to the outside, forming a gradient functional layer; tungsten in the Ni-WP alloy in the surface layer is oxidized to form a dense WO3 passivation film as the outermost physical barrier, directly physically blocking the corrosive medium, and nano-ZnO dissolves into Zn in the acidic micro-region. 2+, migrating to the cathode region (pH>10) through electrochemical driving forces, where it forms a precipitate, sealing some microcracks. (This self-healing mechanism relies on the high-pH cathode region created by oxygen reduction reactions in the corrosion microenvironment and is suitable for oxygen-containing electrolyte environments.) In this solution, a multi-layer passivation film / protective layer (surface WO3, gradient Ni / Mo / P oxide, and underlying Al2O3) and a sacrificial anode (Zn) together form a multi-layer physical and electrochemical protective barrier, significantly improving overall corrosion resistance.

[0012] In this scheme, oxalic acid-ferric nitrate etching forms an uneven microscopic interface, which, in conjunction with the directional arrangement of the polar groups of the silicate transition layer, provides a dual binding basis of mechanical intercalation and chemical adsorption for the subsequent coating. When a weak acid activation solution composed of malic acid and tartaric acid is subsequently used for treatment, the organic acid gently dissolves the residual oxide film on the surface and simultaneously binds to the Fe 2+ The chelation effect continuously maintains the active state of the substrate surface, and finally forms a clean interface with appropriate roughness and rich chemical active sites, laying a solid foundation for the uniform deposition of high-quality anti-corrosion coatings.

In the initial stage, the pulse duty cycle is 30% to 40%, the electroplating temperature is 45 to 50°C, and the current density is 3 to 3.3 A / dm 2 , the electroplating time is 30~35min; in the termination stage, the electroplating temperature is 60~65℃, the current density is 5~5.3A / dm 2 , the electroplating time is 15~18min.
[0021] In this scheme, pulse-DC coupled electroplating is used: the initial low duty cycle pulse reduces hydrogen evolution, forming a low-phosphorus, highly crystallized nickel-rich layer to improve toughness; the DC high current in the termination stage promotes the co-deposition of P and Mo, forming an amorphous / nanocrystalline composite structure, so that the Mo and P content changes gradiently from the inside to the outside, enhancing the interlayer bonding strength; the introduction of boron reduces the risk of hydrogen embrittlement of the coating, buffers the problem of interfacial stress cracking, and at the same time optimizes the transition of mechanical properties of the coating from the bottom layer to the surface layer, reducing interlayer stress concentration.

[0024] Preferably, the substrate is a carbon steel substrate.
[0025] Preferably, in step S2, the nano-silicon carbide and fluorinated graphene undergo the following pretreatment steps before use: S11: adding nano-silicon carbide, fluorinated graphene and sodium perfluorooctane sulfonate to an alcohol solution and mixing uniformly, adding a double-bond silane coupling agent and mixing uniformly, adjusting the pH to 4.0-4.5, heating to 50-70° C., reacting for 3-5 hours, solid-liquid separation, washing, and drying to obtain a silanized composite material; S12: Under an inert atmosphere at -5~5℃, add trifluoroacetic acid and perchloric acid into the reactor, adjust the pH to 2.5~3, then add the silanization composite material and aniline monomer and mix evenly, slowly add the composite initiator, react for 9~11h, separate the solid and liquid, wash, and dry to obtain the product.

The polyaniline coating provides electrostatic repulsion and steric hindrance, ensuring stable dispersion of the nanofiller in the plating solution and preventing agglomeration. Its amino groups coordinate with metal ions, promoting heterogeneous nucleation of grains, refining grains, and improving the density of the coating. Furthermore, the aniline coating imparts electrical conductivity to the nano-silicon carbide and fluorinated graphene, reducing localized corrosion caused by uneven dispersion.
[0030] Preferably, the composite initiator comprises ammonium persulfate and copper sulfate, and the amount of the composite initiator used is 2% to 4% of the mass of the aniline monomer.
[0031] Preferably, the mass ratio of ammonium persulfate to copper sulfate is (5-7.5):1.
[0032] In this scheme, ammonium persulfate provides oxidative free radicals to initiate the polymerization of aniline monomers; the copper ions in copper sulfate catalyze the polymerization rate, preventing excessive reaction and resulting rapid polymerization. Together, these two dynamic regulatory mechanisms ensure uniform polyaniline coating on the nanomaterial surface, preventing aniline self-aggregation and precipitation while maintaining the integrity of the coating layer, laying the foundation for the dispersion and performance of the nanofiller in the subsequent coating.

[0056] Other details are the same as in Example 1.
[0057] Performance testing The carbon steel substrates prepared in Examples 1-6 and Comparative Examples 1-3 were cut, the edges were epoxy-sealed, and adhesion strength testing was performed according to GB / T5270-2005; autoclave simulation corrosion rate testing was performed according to NACE-TM0172-2001; and scratch self-repair testing was performed according to ASTM D7087-05. Detailed data are shown in Table 1.
[0058] Preparation of the corrosive medium: mass fraction of 1.65% sodium chloride and 0.12% sodium bicarbonate, carbon dioxide pressurized to 0.5 MPa (saturated dissolution at 25°C, measured pH of 4.2).
[0059] Scratch preparation: A nano-scratch tester was used to prepare scratches with a length of 10 mm, a width of 30 ± 2 μm, and a depth reaching the substrate. The scratched specimen was then immersed in a 1.65% sodium chloride solution at room temperature of 25°C ± 2°C and exposed to air (dissolved oxygen concentration of approximately 8 mg / L). The width change was recorded, and the repair rate after 72 h was calculated.
[0060] Table 1 Performance test data of carbon steel substrates prepared in Examples 1 to 6 and Comparative Examples 1 to 3
[0061] Comprehensive analysis of the performance test data in Table 1 shows that: In Examples 1 to 3, by gradually optimizing the concentrations of each component and the process parameters, the adhesion strength of the coating showed an increasing trend, the corrosion rate continued to decrease, the repair rate increased simultaneously, and the appearance remained smooth. This shows that the adjustment of the concentrations of each component and the process parameters has optimized the substrate coating adhesion, corrosion resistance, and self-repair ability to a certain extent. Based on Example 3, Examples 4 to 6 pretreated the nano-silicon carbide and fluorinated graphene used in the composite bottom layer by silanization and aniline coating, strengthening the interface bonding between the nano-silicon carbide and fluorinated graphene and the metal matrix, further improving the adhesion strength, significantly reducing the corrosion rate, but the improvement in the repair rate slowed down. This shows that the pretreatment process improves the density and interface bonding of the coating substrate, but the repair rate is more directly affected by the self-repair mechanism of the surface nano-zinc oxide.
[0062] In contrast, in Comparative Example 1, after the electrophoretic coating layer is missing, the interlayer bonding force is greatly reduced, and the corrosive medium is more likely to penetrate the coating, causing pitting. In Comparative Example 2, the gradient functional layer cannot be formed by single DC electroplating, which reduces the corrosion resistance and causes micro-pitting. In Comparative Example 3, after the lack of nano zinc oxide, on the one hand, the filling effect of nanoparticles on the pores of the coating is lost, and the density is reduced. On the other hand, the lack of Zn 2+ The self-repair response mechanism reduces the repair rate and rust is visible at the scratches.

After reading this specification, those skilled in the art may make non-creative modifications to the present embodiment as needed, but as long as they are within the scope of the claims of the present application, they are protected by the patent law.
