Description

Surface treating agent for metallic materials, method for surface treating metallic materials using the surface treating agent, and surface treated metallic materials

INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY The present invention can impart excellent corrosion resistance (particularly, bend corrosion resistance) and overcoat adhesion to surfaces of metal materials such as steel, zinc-based galvanized steel sheets, and aluminum plates, The present invention relates to a surface treatment agent for metal materials for forming a coating having both chemical resistance such as alkali resistance and alkali resistance, and a surface treatment method for metal materials using the same.

Metal materials represented by galvanized steel sheets are used in various fields such as automobiles, home appliances, building materials, etc., but have a drawback of corrosion in the air to form a corrosion product called white rust. Therefore, in the prior art, a method called a chromate treatment, which generally forms a coating layer containing hexavalent chromium and trivalent chromium, using a treatment solution containing an aqueous solution of chromic acid on the surface of a metal material for the purpose of improving corrosion resistance. It was done.

However, since the aqueous solution used for this chromate treatment has hexavalent chromium harmful to a human body, it is necessary to perform the special process prescribed | regulated by the water pollution prevention method in wastewater treatment. For this reason, in recent years, with the raising of awareness about global environmental conservation, there has been a strong movement to avoid the use of compounds harmful to the human body as much as possible.

On the other hand, as a surface treatment method other than chromate treatment, the treatment method by the surface treating agent containing tannic acid is well known. It is considered that when the treatment is performed using an aqueous solution containing tannic acid, the protective film formed by the reaction of tannic acid with the metal material prevents the intrusion of corrosive substances, thereby improving the corrosion resistance. However, with this coating, it is difficult to cope with the recent high quality of the product (corrosion resistance, paint adhesion).

On the other hand, as a technique which mainly uses an inorganic component, Patent Literature 1 discloses a specific amount of organic silane in a lean water glass solution, a soda silicate solution, or a mixture thereof as a method of improving the corrosion resistance and coating adhesion. The method of apply | coating and drying the processing liquid which added the coupling agent to steel materials is disclosed.

Moreover, as a technique mainly using a silane coupling agent, Patent Document 2 discloses a method for treating a metal plate by an aqueous solution containing a low concentration of organic functional silane and a crosslinking agent in order to obtain a temporary anticorrosive effect. In this method, a dense siloxane film is formed by the crosslinking agent crosslinking the organic functional silane.

In addition, Patent Document 3 uses a surface treatment agent containing a compound having two or more alkoxysilanes and a compound selected from organic acids, phosphoric acid and complex fluoride to form a film having excellent corrosion resistance and paint adhesion on the surface of the metal. A method is disclosed.

Moreover, in patent document 4, the silica sol binder (a) containing a silane coupling agent (a-1) and an alkoxysilane oligomer (a-2), a phosphate ion (b), a fluoride ion (c), and V, Ti A metal surface treatment composition containing a metal compound (d) containing at least one metal selected from the group consisting of Zr, Zn, Mn, Mg, Al, Co, Ni, Mo, W and Ce is disclosed. . Moreover, using this composition, it is disclosed that the film which is excellent in corrosiveness (especially corrosion resistance of a process part), alkali resistance, heat resistance, ablation resistance, adhesiveness (adhesiveness with a coating film, adhesiveness with a base material) is obtained.

However, these techniques have problems such as lack of remarkably lacking performances such as conductivity and fingerprint resistance, corrosion resistance, and paint adhesion, which are difficult to achieve the target performance for high quality products. In addition, even if it is possible to form a film excellent in corrosion resistance and paint adhesion, the solvent system leaves problems on the environmental and safety surfaces, and it is difficult to stably supply in the water system. I had a big problem.

In Patent Literature 5, in one molecule, the formula -SiR ¹ R ² R ³ (wherein R ¹ , R ^2, and R ³ represents an alkyl group, an alkoxy group, or a hydroxyl group, and at least one represents an alkoxy group). From two or more functional groups represented by (a) and hydroxyl groups (separate from those which may be included in functional group (a)), amino groups, carboxyl groups, phosphoric acid groups, phosphonic acid groups, sulfone groups, polyoxyethylene chains and amide groups Disclosed are an aqueous metal surface treatment agent and a treatment method containing at least one hydrophilic functional group (b) selected and blended with an organosilicon compound having a molecular weight of 300 to 10,000 per functional group (b). In addition, it is disclosed that by using this treatment agent, a film having not only excellent corrosion resistance and adhesion but also heat resistance, weldability, continuous processability and conductivity of the inorganic coating, and anti-fingerprint and coating properties of the organic coating can be formed. .

However, compared with the organic coating which has a barrier layer by an organic component in the coating, and prevents the invasion of a chemical to plating, in this technique, the chemical resistance of coatings, such as acid resistance and alkali resistance, was inferior. In addition, the flat part and the processed part have excellent corrosion resistance, but suffer from the problem that the corrosion resistance of the portion where the film is extremely deformed, such as the bent part.

On the other hand, as a technique using an organic resin film, Patent Literature 6 blends 5-30 mass% of aqueous dispersion resin in solid content concentration, 0.1-20 mass% of silica particles, and 0.01-20 mass% of organic titanate compound. Accordingly, an aqueous coating agent for steel of one-liquid type, which is excellent in solution stability and suitable for coating steel materials such as zinc-based coated steel or uncoated steel, has been disclosed. Moreover, by using this coating agent, it is disclosed that the film excellent in corrosion resistance, solvent resistance, alkali resistance, coating adhesiveness, and film adhesiveness is obtained.

In addition, Patent Document 7 has a specific resin compound (A), a cationic urethane resin (B) having at least one cationic functional group selected from first to third amino groups, and a fourth ammonium base group, and a specific reactive functional group. Corrosion resistance which contains at least 1 type of silane coupling agent (C) and a specific acid compound (E), and is obtained using the surface treatment agent whose content of cationic urethane resin (B) and a silane coupling agent (C) exists in a predetermined range. Disclosed are a non-chromium surface-treated steel sheet excellent in anti-fingerprint, blackening resistance, and paint adhesion, and a manufacturing method thereof.

Further, Patent Document 8 obtains by mixing one or more titanium compounds selected from the group consisting of (A) a hydrolyzable titanium compound, a low condensate of a hydrolyzable titanium compound, a titanium hydroxide and a titanium hydroxide, and a hydrogen peroxide solution. 100 parts by weight of the solid content of the titanium-containing aqueous liquid, (B) 1 to 400 parts by weight of the organic phosphoric acid compound, (C) 10 to 2,000 parts by weight of the water-soluble or water dispersible organic resin as a solid content, (D) vanadate compound 1 to 400 The metal surface treatment composition characterized by containing a weight part, 1-400 weight part of (E) zirconium fluoride compounds, and 1-400 weight part of (F) zirconium carbonate compounds.

However, these techniques exhibit corrosion resistance and fingerprint resistance by coating the surface of the metal material with an organic resin, and thus there is a problem that the performance such as conductivity and spot weldability is poor. In addition, since the main component is an organic polymer, thermal decomposition, coloring, increase in viscosity, etc. occur at high temperatures, so that it cannot be used for heat resistance.

In this way, no coating has been obtained that satisfactorily satisfies all characteristics such as corrosion resistance (particularly, corrosion resistance of bent portions), chemical resistance, heat resistance, fingerprint resistance, and conductivity that can be used as a substitute for the chromate coating by any method.

<Surface Treatment Method>

Although the surface treatment method using the surface treating agent for metal materials of this invention is not specifically limited, The above-mentioned surface treating agent for metal materials is apply | coated and dried on the surface of a metal material, and the film | membrane of 10-3000 mg / m <2> coats the metal material. The surface treatment method formed on the surface is preferable.

Below, the surface treatment method is demonstrated.

Before applying the treatment agent, the metal material may be pretreated as necessary for the purpose of removing oil or dirt on the metal material surface. The metal material is often coated with rust preventive oil for the purpose of rust prevention. Moreover, even when it is not oiled with rust preventive oil, there exists an oil, contamination, etc. which adhered during work. By carrying out the pretreatment, the surface of the metal material is cleaned and the surface of the metal material is easily wetted by the treatment agent of the present invention. In addition, when there is no oil, a contamination, etc., and the material surface wets uniformly with the processing agent of this invention, a pretreatment stroke is not necessary in particular.

Moreover, it does not specifically limit as a method of pretreatment, The methods, such as hot water washing | cleaning, solvent washing | cleaning, and alkali degreasing washing | cleaning, are mentioned.

The metal material to be applied is not particularly limited, but a zinc-containing metal plated steel sheet, an aluminum sheet, or a stainless steel sheet is preferable. The surface of these metal materials may have been previously subjected to pretreatment such as phosphate treatment or chromate treatment.

There is no restriction | limiting in particular in the method of apply | coating to the metal material surface, The methods, such as an immersion method, a spray method, and a roll coat method, can be used.

The treatment (coating) temperature and the treatment (coating) time are not particularly limited, but in general, the treatment (coating) temperature is preferably 10 to 40 ° C, and the treatment (coating) time is preferably 0.1 to 10 seconds. .

By drying the coating film applied and formed on the metal material surface, a solvent, that is, water or an alcohol, is volatilized, and a desired film is formed. It does not specifically limit as a drying method, What is necessary is just to heat and dry by hot air, an induction heater, infrared rays, near infrared rays, etc.

It is preferable that drying temperature is 30-300 degreeC as an arrival board temperature, It is more preferable that it is 40-250 degreeC, It is especially preferable that it is 60-200 degreeC. The drying time is not particularly limited as long as the reaching plate temperature satisfies the above conditions.

The film amount of the film formed on the metal material surface is 10-3000 mg / m <2>, and 100-1000 mg / m <2> is more preferable. If it is in the said range, it is preferable from a viewpoint of corrosion resistance and electroconductivity.

In addition, these coating amounts indicate the coating amount per single side in the case of plate-shaped objects, such as a steel plate.

On the film formed by the above-mentioned surface treatment method, an organic polymer film is formed so that the film thickness after drying may be 0.1-3.0 micrometers, and it can additionally provide high corrosion resistance, fingerprint resistance, and lubricity. As such an organic polymer film, resin emulsions, such as a well-known acryl, urethane, and epoxy, and what added silica, a rust preventive agent, a ultraviolet absorber, a pigment, etc. to this can be used.

The metal material processed by the above-mentioned surface treatment method can be applied to various uses. For example, the steel plate for home appliances, the steel plate for building materials, the steel plate for automobiles, etc. are mentioned.

When the surface treatment agent for metal materials of the present invention is used, it is excellent in corrosion resistance, adhesion and acid resistance to the surface of the metal material, as well as heat resistance, weldability, continuous workability and conductivity that inorganic coatings usually have, and fingerprinting and coating properties that organic coatings usually have. The new film which combines is obtained.

This reason is estimated as follows, but the present invention is not limited to such a guess. The film formed using the surface treating agent for metal materials of this invention mainly consists of a compound (A) and a metal alkoxide (B). First, when a part of the compound (A) is concentrated by drying or the like, the metal alkoxide (B) becomes a catalyst to form a continuous film, and the -OR group formed by hydrolysis of a part of the metal surface and the Si-OM bond By forming (M: a metal element on the surface of the workpiece), a remarkable barrier effect is exhibited and corrosion resistance is estimated to improve.

On the other hand, the film using the surface treating agent for metal materials of this invention is formed mainly using silicon as a main component. As for the structure, since the arrangement of the silicon-organic chains is regular and the organic chains are relatively short, the silicon-containing portions and the organic matter portions, i.e. inorganic and organic matters, are regularly and precisely in very minute regions in the coating. It is assumed that this is arranged. Therefore, it is presumed that the formation of a novel coating having both heat resistance, weldability, continuous workability and conductivity, and anti-fingerprint and coating properties, which the inorganic coating usually has, can be achieved.

Moreover, in the silicon containing part in a film, about 80% of silicon forms the siloxane bond by analysis.
