Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of metallurgical technology, specifically relating to a method for preparing aluminum-manganese alloys using room temperature electrolyte electrodeposition. Background Technology
[0002] Magnesium-lithium alloys possess advantages such as low density and high specific strength, making them valuable in aerospace, transportation, and electronics industries. However, their high chemical reactivity and poor corrosion resistance, particularly in chlorine-containing media, severely restrict their engineering applications. Therefore, preparing metal or alloy coatings with good protective properties on the surface of magnesium-lithium alloys is an effective way to improve their service reliability. Aluminum and its alloys, due to their low density, high specific strength, excellent electrical and thermal conductivity, and good corrosion resistance, exhibit good compatibility with magnesium alloys and are considered ideal surface protection materials for magnesium-lithium alloys. Among them, aluminum-manganese alloys, by introducing manganese, can improve the microstructure and corrosion resistance of aluminum-based materials to a certain extent, thus showing potential application advantages in the field of protective coatings. Currently, the industrial production of aluminum-manganese alloys mainly relies on traditional metallurgical processes such as smelting, casting, and hot rolling. However, the melting point of metallic aluminum and the electrolytic production temperature are both above 660℃, requiring the smelting process of aluminum-manganese alloys to be carried out at even higher temperatures, resulting in high energy consumption, long process flow, and complex equipment. Electrodeposition technology, as a low-temperature and energy-saving material preparation method, provides an efficient solution for the preparation of aluminum-manganese alloys.
[0003] Electrodeposition can prepare uniform, dense alloy coatings with controllable microstructures on substrates with complex shapes, greatly shortening the process flow, reducing energy consumption, and achieving microstructures that are difficult to obtain through traditional metallurgy. Aluminum and manganese are both highly electrochemically active metals with significant differences in their standard electrode potentials. They readily undergo hydrogen evolution reactions in traditional aqueous electrolytes, making stable deposition difficult. Furthermore, aluminum and manganese readily form stable oxides or hydroxides in aqueous solutions, further increasing the difficulty of metal deposition and alloying. Due to these limitations, aqueous electroplating methods are generally insufficient for the effective preparation of aluminum-manganese alloy coatings.
[0004] While inorganic molten salt systems such as sodium chloride-aluminum chloride can achieve efficient aluminum deposition, the operating temperature is typically around 200℃, causing severe corrosion to equipment, resulting in high energy consumption. Furthermore, they are difficult to integrate with temperature-sensitive substrates, affecting their microstructure and mechanical properties. Additionally, at high temperatures, the deposition behavior and composition control of manganese are challenging, making it difficult to obtain aluminum-manganese alloy coatings with uniform composition and dense structure. Organic solvent electrolytes mainly consist of organic solvents such as ethers (THF) and aromatic hydrocarbons, combined with aluminum salts and complexing agents (such as LiAlH4). Most organic solvents are flammable and explosive, and the electrodeposited aluminum coatings are rough, porous, and have poor adhesion, making co-deposition of alloying elements difficult. Room-temperature ionic liquids, represented by 1-methyl-3-ethylimidazolium chloride-aluminum chloride (EMIC-AlCl3), are currently a research hotspot. Imidazole-based ionic liquid systems can achieve electrodeposition of aluminum and its alloys at room temperature. However, the synthesis and purification of organic cations in imidazole-based ionic liquid systems are costly, hindering large-scale industrial application. They are also sensitive to water and air, requiring specific operating environments, significantly increasing costs. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To address the aforementioned problems, this invention provides a method for preparing aluminum-manganese alloys using a room-temperature electrolyte prepared from triethylamine hydrochloride and aluminum chloride, and anhydrous manganese chloride or manganese bromide as the manganese salt via low-temperature electrodeposition. This method significantly reduces energy consumption and production costs while efficiently preparing aluminum-manganese alloys.
[0006] The technical solution of the present invention is as follows:
[0007] A method for preparing aluminum-manganese alloys using room temperature electrolyte electrodeposition includes the following process steps:
[0008] Pretreatment: The magnesium-lithium alloy is pretreated to obtain a magnesium-lithium alloy with no surface impurities for later use;
[0009] Electrolyte preparation: At room temperature, triethylamine hydrochloride and aluminum chloride are mixed and stirred until the aluminum chloride is completely dissolved to obtain a room temperature electrolyte. Then, manganese salt is added to the room temperature electrolyte and stirred until the mixture is homogeneous.
[0010] Electrodeposition: using a pretreated magnesium-lithium alloy as the cathode and an aluminum sheet as the anode, electrolysis is carried out in an electrolyte solution;
[0011] Cleaning: After electrodeposition, the magnesium-lithium alloy sample was removed and cleaned with acetonitrile to obtain aluminum-manganese alloy deposited on the surface of the magnesium-lithium alloy.
[0012] During the pretreatment process, the surface of the magnesium-lithium alloy substrate undergoes mechanical grinding, ultrasonic cleaning, alkaline washing, activation treatment, cleaning, cold air drying, zinc immersion, zinc plating, and copper plating in sequence.
[0013] In the pretreatment process, the zinc immersion treatment involves immersing the magnesium-lithium alloy in a mixed solution containing potassium pyrophosphate, sodium fluoride, sodium carbonate, and zinc sulfate at 50°C to 70°C for 5 to 10 minutes, with a stirring speed of 100 r / min to 300 r / min. The zinc plating treatment involves immersing the zinc-immersed magnesium-lithium alloy in a mixed solution containing zinc sulfate, potassium pyrophosphate, sodium fluoride, sodium carbonate, ammonium citrate, phytic acid, and vanillin at 40°C to 50°C, using the zinc-immersed magnesium-lithium alloy as the cathode and the zinc sheet as the anode, at a speed of 1 mA / cm². 2 ~5mA / cm 2 Electrolysis for 10-30 minutes yields a zinc-plated magnesium-lithium alloy. Copper plating is performed in a mixed solution containing copper pyrophosphate, potassium pyrophosphate, sodium tartrate, and potassium dihydrogen phosphate at 40-60°C. The zinc-plated magnesium-lithium alloy is used as the cathode, and a copper sheet as the anode, at a current of 1 mA / cm². 2 ~5mA / cm 2 Electrolysis for 20-30 minutes yields a copper-magnesium-lithium alloy.
[0014] During the preparation of the electrolyte, the stirring time is 4h~6h, the stirring speed is 200r / min~400r / min; the molar ratio of aluminum chloride to triethylamine hydrochloride is (1.5:1)~(2.0:1); the manganese salt is manganese chloride or manganese bromide; the concentration of manganese salt in the electrolyte is 0.01mol / L~0.06mol / L.
[0015] During the electrodeposition process, a constant potential is used for electrodeposition, the deposition temperature is 20℃~60℃, the voltage during the electrodeposition process is -0.4V vs Al to -1.0V vs Al, and the deposition time is 0.5h~2h; where "vs Al" means that the aluminum electrode is used as the reference electrode.
[0016] The method described in this invention has the following advantages:
[0017] 1. This invention involves electroplating a high-quality zinc and copper composite layer onto the surface of a magnesium-lithium alloy, which is prone to oxidation and corrosion in an atmospheric environment, followed by direct electrodeposition of an aluminum-manganese alloy coating using an aluminum chloride-triethylamine hydrochloride system. Compared to traditional molten salt electrodeposition technology, this invention achieves stable deposition of an aluminum-manganese alloy layer on the magnesium-lithium alloy surface without the need for high-temperature conditions. The deposited aluminum-manganese alloy layer has a more uniform composition and allows for precise control of the manganese content in the deposited layer.
[0018] 2. The non-aqueous electroplating deposition provided by the present invention avoids the problems of difficult deposition of aluminum and manganese, as well as hydrogen embrittlement and substrate corrosion in aqueous electroplating. The coating is denser and smoother, while the metal coatings of physical vapor deposition often have columnar gaps, which accelerate galvanic corrosion.
[0019] 3. The aluminum-manganese alloy coating obtained by the method provided in this invention has a dense structure, which significantly improves the corrosion resistance and service reliability of the substrate, and is especially suitable for surface protection of reactive metal materials such as magnesium-lithium alloys. It also solves the problem of limited coverage of complex-shaped workpieces by other deposition methods, enabling the electrodeposition of aluminum-manganese alloy layers on large-area substrates, and has good prospects for industrial applications.
[0020] 4. This invention, by adjusting the amount of manganese chloride added to the electrolyte system and controlling the electrodeposition potential, deposition time, and temperature, ensures that the electrodeposition process remains stable within the electrochemical window of aluminum-manganese synergistic deposition. In the aluminum chloride-triethylamine hydrochloride electrolyte system, the system has a wide electrochemical stability window and few side reactions. Manganese participates in deposition in the form of complexed ions, and the deposition rate is closely related to the effective concentration of manganese ions in the electrolyte and the electrochemical parameters. This results in good adjustability and repeatability of the manganese content in the aluminum-manganese alloy layer, achieving precise control of the manganese content. Attached Figure Description

[0027] Cleaning: After electrodeposition, the cathode is removed, and the residual electrolyte on the surface is cleaned with acetonitrile. After vacuum drying, the aluminum-manganese alloy deposited on the magnesium-lithium alloy surface can be obtained.
[0028] In the following embodiments of the present invention, the mechanical grinding-ultrasonic cleaning-alkaline washing-activation treatment-cleaning-cold air drying-zinc immersion-zinc plating-copper plating process is as follows: the magnesium-lithium alloy is sequentially ground with 400#, 800#, 1200# and 2000# SiC sandpaper for 10 min to 30 min, then ultrasonically cleaned in anhydrous ethanol for 5 min to 20 min; then alkaline washing is performed in a mixed solution containing sodium hydroxide, sodium carbonate and sodium phosphate at 40℃ to 60℃ for 10 min to 20 min; followed by activation in a mixed solution containing phosphoric acid and ammonium bifluoride for 5 s to 10 s. After activation treatment, the magnesium-lithium alloy sheet is cleaned and dried with cold air. It is then immersed in a mixed solution containing potassium pyrophosphate, sodium fluoride, sodium carbonate, and zinc sulfate at 50℃~70℃ for 5min~10min under stirring speed of 100r / min~300r / min for zinc immersion treatment. Subsequently, the zinc-immersed magnesium-lithium alloy sheet is subjected to zinc plating treatment in a mixed solution containing zinc sulfate, potassium pyrophosphate, sodium fluoride, sodium carbonate, ammonium citrate, phytic acid, and vanillin at 40℃~50℃, using the zinc-immersed magnesium-lithium alloy as the cathode and the zinc sheet as the anode, at a flux of 1mA / cm. 2 ~5mA / cm 2 Electrolysis for 10-30 minutes yields a zinc-plated magnesium-lithium alloy. Copper plating is performed in a mixed solution containing copper pyrophosphate, potassium pyrophosphate, sodium tartrate, and potassium dihydrogen phosphate at 40-60°C. The zinc-plated magnesium-lithium alloy is used as the cathode, and a copper sheet as the anode, with an electroplating rate of 1 mA / cm². 2 ~5mA / cm 2 Electrolysis for 20-30 minutes yields a copper-magnesium-lithium alloy.

[0096] ;
[0097] As can be seen from the results of Examples 2, 8-10 above, under the same material ratio, deposition temperature and time conditions, when the electrodeposition voltage is adjusted from -0.4V to -1.0V, the aluminum content in the aluminum-manganese alloy prepared by electrodeposition decreases and the manganese content increases significantly. However, when the voltage is further adjusted to -1.0V, the manganese content shows a decreasing trend.

[0109] Table 4. Aluminum-manganese content ratio in the manganese-aluminum alloys obtained in Examples 2, 11, and 12;
[0110] ;
[0111] As can be seen from Examples 2 and 11-12 above, under the same material ratio, electrodeposition temperature and voltage conditions, the aluminum and manganese content in the aluminum-manganese alloy obtained by extending the electrodeposition time from 0.5h to 1h increases significantly. When the time is extended to 2h, the aluminum content decreases, indicating that the aluminum in the electrolyte has been completely deposited and the electrolyte begins to decompose. Therefore, the electrodeposition time should not be too long.

[0127] The weight percentages of aluminum and manganese in the aluminum-manganese alloys obtained in Examples 2, 13-15 are shown in Table 5.
[0128] Table 5. Aluminum-manganese content ratio in the manganese-aluminum alloys obtained in Examples 2, 13-15;
[0129] ;
[0130] As can be seen from the results of Examples 2, 13-15 above, when the concentration of manganese chloride increases from 0.01 mol / L to 0.06 mol / L, the manganese content in the resulting aluminum-manganese alloy increases significantly from 2.23% to 14.11%.
[0131] SEM images of the products obtained on the cathode in Example 15 are as follows: Figure 1 As shown in the figure, the aluminum-manganese alloy is deposited as spherical particles on the cathode plate, with no dendrites appearing during the formation process. The manganese content in the electrodeposited aluminum-manganese alloy layer gradually increases with increasing concentration. Appropriate manganese addition to the coating can reduce dendrite growth, making the coating surface smoother, and can also alleviate the internal stress of the pure aluminum deposition layer, improving its adhesion to the substrate. Magnesium-lithium alloys are inherently reactive; the electrodeposited aluminum-manganese coating on its surface mainly acts as a barrier layer. The dense, manganese-containing coating can better isolate the substrate from corrosive media, improving the overall corrosion resistance of the substrate.
[0132] Figure 2 The polarization curves of the original magnesium-lithium alloy substrate, the magnesium-lithium alloy substrate after aluminum plating, and the magnesium-lithium alloy substrate after aluminum-manganese alloy plating are shown. The polarization potential and corrosion current density indicate the corrosion resistance of the coating. The lower the corrosion current density, the better the corrosion resistance. The calculated corrosion potential of the original magnesium-lithium alloy substrate is -1.7846V, and the corrosion current density is 1.74mA / cm². 2 The corrosion potential of the substrate after aluminum plating is -1.5511V, and the corrosion current density is 0.102mA / cm².2 The corrosion potential of the substrate after aluminum-manganese alloy plating is -1.5914V, and the corrosion current density is 8.16×10⁻⁶. -3 mA / cm 2 The corrosion resistance of the aluminum-manganese alloy coating is reduced by two orders of magnitude compared to the original substrate and by one order of magnitude compared to the substrate after aluminum plating, indicating that the coating has good corrosion resistance.
