Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of injection molding technology, and more specifically to a composite etching solution and roughening method for roughening stainless steel. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, composites of metals and polymers are widely used in home appliances, digital products, automobile manufacturing, and industrial manufacturing. They are usually made by insert injection molding, which encapsulates the metal part with polymer material through injection molding in one step, greatly improving production efficiency. However, this molding method results in poor bonding strength between the resin and stainless steel, which is not conducive to long-term use.
[0003] Currently, roughening is often used to improve the bonding performance between stainless steel and resin. Among them, the roughening of stainless steel surface mainly relies on a single chemical immersion method (which only forms micron pores) or an electrochemical method (which only generates nanostructures), which makes it difficult to achieve the controllable construction of micro-nano hierarchical porous structures. Composite structures can significantly increase the density of surface active sites, enhance coating adhesion and catalytic performance.
[0004] Chemical immersion can uniformly treat workpieces with complex geometries (such as internal cavities and blind hole structures) without having to consider the problem of uneven surface treatment caused by electrode distribution; chemical immersion does not consume electricity, and its long-term operating cost is significantly lower than that of electrolysis.
[0005] However, the current roughening process cannot ensure effective bonding between the resin and stainless steel due to the poor etching effect of the etching solution used. Summary of the Invention

During injection molding, the resin fills into the details of the micropores, forming a strong bond between the resin and the stainless steel, thereby improving the bonding ability between the stainless steel and the resin.

[0027] Preferably, the washing time is 30-60 seconds.
[0028] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the air stirring pressure during the first etching is 0.2-0.3 m. 3 / (m 2 ·min).

[0038] (2) The composite etching solution provided by the present invention, in the second etching solution, thiosulfate salt generates elemental sulfur under acidic conditions, which reacts with iron on the stainless steel surface to form iron sulfide product, and then is uniformly deposited on the product surface through the adsorption of corrosion inhibitor and complexing agent to form nanopores.
[0039] (3) In this invention, when multiple etchings are performed, the layer-by-layer expansion and uniform distribution of holes are achieved through reaction kinetic control. Attached Figure Description

[0164] The roughening methods described in the above embodiments and comparative examples were used to roughen 316L stainless steel. After roughening, corrosion, thrust, and residual adhesive content were analyzed on the surface. The results are shown in Table 1 below. The SEM image of the roughened surface obtained in Example 1 is detailed in [Table 1]. Figure 1 The image shows the junction of stainless steel and plastic (top), the Keyence VHX-7000 measuring residual adhesive (bottom), and a magnified view of the product surface. Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown.
[0165] Corrosion detection: The instrument is a micrometer. First measurement (before roughening): The thickness of the untreated product is clamped with a micrometer and the data is recorded. Second measurement (after roughening): After the product is roughened, the thickness at the same position is clamped with a micrometer again and the data is recorded. Corrosion calculation: The thickness of the first measurement is subtracted from the thickness of the second measurement, and the difference is the corrosion amount.
[0166] Acceptable standard: The corrosion amount should be between 0.015 and 0.035 mm. Within this range, it indicates that the material surface has good uniformity.
[0167] Thrust test: Use a thrust gauge, model: YH-9000-2T, test force: 200kg, accuracy class: 0.5, test speed: 10mm / min, thrust standard > 2000N to be qualified;
[0168] Residual adhesive analysis: The bonding area of the thrust product was inspected using the Keyence VHX-7000 digital microscope system. The selected area was 8×2.5mm (length×width), which is the interface between the injection molding material and the stainless steel.
[0169] Optical Recognition and Data Acquisition: The system automatically identifies the state of the bonding surface using photosensitive technology: when injection molding material remains on the stainless steel surface, it is displayed as a black area; areas without residue are displayed as red. The software automatically calculates the area ratio of the black area (residual adhesive) to the red area (no adhesive). When the residual adhesive area ratio is >50%, it is determined that micron-pores and nano-pores coexist; the higher the residual adhesive area ratio, the denser the micron-nano-pore structure. Principle: During the high-temperature and high-pressure injection molding process, molten plastic particles achieve a firm bond through two types of pore structures.
[0170] Micron-sized holes: provide macroscopic anchoring points, allowing the plastic to initially embed into the substrate surface;
[0171] Nanopores: exhibit a honeycomb-like microstructure, which enhances the bonding strength through mechanical interlocking effects;
[0172] When external forces are applied, the nanoporous structure forms a "mechanical tenon and mortise" effect, which significantly improves the interfacial adhesion. The larger the residual adhesive area, the denser the nanoporous distribution and the higher the bonding reliability.
[0173] Table 1
[0174]
[0175] Based on Table 1 and a comprehensive analysis of Examples 1-2, it can be seen that with the increase of the corrosion inhibitor in the first etching solution and the increase of the sulfate in the second etching solution, the thickness loss of the product decreases and the thrust increases.
[0176] Analysis of Example 1 and Comparative Example shows that in Comparative Example 1, replacing iron salt with ferric sulfate reduces the thickness of the product and decreases the surface thrust. In Comparative Example 3, replacing the sulfate in the second etching solution with sodium chloride results in no nanopores forming on the product surface. Furthermore, when other components are replaced, the roughening effect of the present invention is obviously not achieved.
[0177] Examples 3 and 4 show that as the number of roughening cycles decreases, the amount of corrosion and thrust on the material surface also gradually decreases.
[0178] Examples 5-7 show that when the first etching solution, the second etching solution, and the first and second etching solutions are replaced with organic acids and aminosulfonic acid, compared with Example 1, the amount of corrosion is reduced and the thrust is increased.
[0179] Examples 8-9 show that replacing the organic acid in the first and second etching solutions with acetic acid results in uneven corrosion of the material surface; compared with Example 1, both the amount of corrosion and the thrust are reduced.
[0180] Examples 10-11 show that replacing the inorganic acid in the first and second etching solutions with hydrochloric acid increases the corrosion rate. Under high temperature conditions, hydrochloric acid is easily volatilized, generating a large amount of acidic gas. Compared with Example 1, the corrosion amount increases and the thrust decreases.
[0181] Examples 12-13 show that when the corrosion inhibitors in the first and second etching solutions are replaced with 2-mercaptobenzimidazole and thiourea, the thiol group (-SH) in the 2-mercaptobenzimidazole molecule and the nitrogen atom in the benzimidazole ring can form a stable chemical adsorption layer with the metal surface, thereby significantly inhibiting corrosion; compared with Example 1, the corrosion amount is lower; the sulfur atoms and nitrogen atoms in the thiourea molecule can be adsorbed on the metal surface through coordination to form a protective film and inhibit the corrosion rate; compared with Example 1, the corrosion amount is reduced and the thrust is smaller.
[0182] Examples 14-15 show that the iron salt concentrations of the first etching solution are 5 g / L and 50 g / L. At 5 g / L, the etching rate decreases significantly because there are insufficient active iron ions (Fe³⁺), which slows down the metal dissolution reaction. Compared with Example 1, both the corrosion amount and the thrust decrease. Conversely, increasing the concentration to 50 g / L accelerates the etching rate. Compared with Example 1, the corrosion amount increases and the thrust decreases.
[0183] Examples 16-17 show that at corrosion inhibitor concentrations of 5 g / L and 50 g / L, the etching rate is significantly increased at 5 g / L, leading to a faster metal dissolution reaction; compared to Example 1, the corrosion amount increases and the thrust decreases; conversely, increasing the concentration to 50 g / L inhibits the etching rate; compared to Example 1, the corrosion amount decreases and the thrust decreases.
[0184] As shown in Example 18, when the inorganic acid concentration is 100 g / L, the sulfuric acid concentration is reduced from 400 g / L to 100 g / L, which significantly reduces the acidity of the etching solution, resulting in a significant decrease in the etching rate; compared with Example 1, both the corrosion amount and thrust are reduced.
[0185] Examples 19-20 show that when the sulfate concentration is 5 g / L and 25 g / L, the oxidizing power of the etching solution is weakened at 5 g / L, resulting in a decrease in etching rate; compared with Example 1, both corrosion amount and thrust are reduced. At 25 g / L, the oxidizing power of the etching solution is enhanced, the etching rate is accelerated, but the surface uniformity is worse; compared with Example 1, the corrosion amount is increased and the thrust is reduced.
[0186] Examples 21-22 show that at 0.5 g / L, the buffering capacity of the etching solution is weakened, the acidity is enhanced, the metal dissolution reaction is too fast, and the pH fluctuates, resulting in uneven corrosion on the material surface; compared with Example 1, the corrosion amount is greater and the thrust is smaller. At 20 g / L, the buffering capacity of the etching solution is enhanced, the metal dissolution is too slow, and the passivation film on the metal surface increases; compared with Example 1, both the corrosion amount and the thrust are smaller.
