  • ABSTRACT The corrosion resistance and siccative finish bonding characteristics of a metal surface are improved by contacting the surface with an aqueous composition consisting of a soluble zirconium compound and a p01- ymeric material.

Zall [57] ABSTRACT The corrosion resistance and siccative finish bonding characteristics of a metal surface are improved by contacting the surface with an aqueous composition consisting of a soluble zirconium compound and a p01- ymeric material. The aqueous composition can be applied to a surface having a conversion coating deposited thereon, to improve the qualities of the coating.
8 Claims, N0 Drawings METHOD FOR TREATING METAL SURFACES WITH CQMPDSITIDNS CUMPRISTNG ZIRCONTUM AND A PULYMEIR BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION In the art of treating metal surfaces, it is common practice to improve the corrosion resistance characteristics and paint bonding qualities of a metal surface by depositing a conversion coating or the like thereon. In order to improve the qualities of the already applied protective coating or conversion coating, it is common practice to subsequently treat the metal surface after the conversion coating has been formed thereon. To enhance the corrosion resistance of an unpainted metal surface, or to prepare a metal surface for the reception of a final finish or siccative coating, such as a paint, enamel, or sanitary lacquer, various coating methods and compositions have been employed. For example, compositions consisting essentially of aqueous acid phosphate or acid chromate solutions have been employed to treat bare metal surfaces already possessing a conversion coating to improve the corrosion resistance and paint bonding characteristics. Chromate treatments employed to deposit a coating on a metal surface or as a treatment after a conversion coating has been formed are disclosed, for example, in US. Pat. Nos. 2,825,697; 2,678,291; 2,936,254; and 2,928,763.
An important shortcoming, which treatments of the kind to which reference has been made possess, is the inherent toxicity and presence of a noxious materials in the effluents, such as hexavalent chromium, phosphates, and fluorides. Waste disposal problems, handling problems, and difficulties due to the corrosive ac tion of the composition on the equipment employed are created by the presence of acidic components in the bath effluent.
Another problem encountered with chromium containing treatments is that certain paint or lacquer systems will chip, peel, or blister when applied to a metal surface which has been treated with chromates. Workpieces having complex configurations will accumulate residues of chromium salts in areas such as crevices, pockets and joints. These areas will tend to display blis tering, peeling, and generally inferior siccative finish adhesion.
Resinous materials have been incorporated in a chromate treating solution, so as to provide on the metal surface a final finish or an excellent base for subsequent painting. Solutions and dispersions of this kind are disclosed, for example, in US. Pat. Nos. 2,902,390; 3,053,692; 3,132,055; 3,185,596; 3,189,488 and 3,189,489. However, these treating solutions and the protective coatings formed therefrom have not eliminated the detrimental effect of the high toxicity associated with hexavalent chromium.
The primary object of the present invention is to provide a method for the treatment of metal surfaces which will enhance the corrosion resistance and siccative finish bonding characteristics of the surface.
An added object of this invention is to provide a process and treating composition for metal surfaces which enhances the adhesion properties of a subsequently applied siccative finish while eliminating the waste effluent disposal problems encountered with compositions employed heretofore.
A concomitant object of this invention is to provide an improved method for treating metal surfaces on which a conversion coating has already been deposited.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION I have discovered a chrome-free process and composition for treating the surfaces of metals such as iron, steel, zinc, aluminum and alloys in which they are the predominant constituent. The aqueous composition employed in the present process consists essentially of a soluble zirconium compound and a polymeric material. When the composition is applied to metal substrate, a coating is obtained which enhances corrosion resistance and siccative finish bonding.
It should be understood that the term aqueous composition or aqueous solution utilized herein means the aqueous admixture comprising zirconium, present as a soluble zirconium compound, and a polymeric material. The concentration of zirconium present in the aqueous composition is expressed herein as the concentration of ZrO This means that the zirconium, present as a soluble zirconium compound in solution, is the form of tetravalent zirconium whose concentration is expressed as the concentration of its oxide. Although the resinous or polymeric material may be present in the aqueous composition either in dissolved form, emulsion form, or in the form of insoluble particles dispersed in the composition, the term aqueous solution when employed herein is to be understood as including an emulsion or dispersion of the polymer and zirconium compound, as well as a solution of the polymer and zirconium compound. Examples of water soluble polymeric or resinous materials that can be utilized are polyacrylic acid, polyvinyl alcohol, hydroxyethyl ethers of cellulose, ethylene maleic anhydride, polyvinyl pyrollidine, and polyvinyl methyl ether. An example of a polymeric material in the form of dispersed particles that can be utilized is an acrylic copolymer latice. Of course, the dispersed polymer or latex should be stable, in the presence of the other ingredients comprising the aqueous composition.
A wide variety of soluble zirconium compounds can be employed. The selection of the compound to be employed will depend on its commercial availability and its stability in solution with the polymeric material. It is, of course, necessary that upon its inclusion in the aqueous solution, it should not hydrolize to insoluble hydrous zirconium dioxide or an insoluble zirconium salt at the operating pH and temperature of the process, nor should it cause coagulation of the polymeric material.
Typical examples of zirconium compounds which can be employed in the aqueous composition are alkali metal and ammonium tluozirconate and ammonium zirconium carbonate. The aqueous composition should comprise at least 0.1 grams/liter of the zirconium compound (measured as ZrO In the preferred embodiment, ammonium zirconium carbonate will be employed in the aqueous composition and its concentration, measured as ZrO will preferably be from about 0.1 grams/liter to about 3.5 grams/liter.
As has been suggested hereinabove, the resinous or polymeric material may include both water soluble as well as water dispersible polymers. In the preferred embodiment of this invention, the aqueous composition comprises a water soluble polyacrylic acid. Water dispersible emulsions or latexes of polyacrylic acid derivatives are also commercially available, such as the alkali metal and ammonium salts of polyacrylic acd, and the polyacrylic acid esters. By the term acrylic acid polymer" or polyacrylic acid, it should be understood that this means and applies to all types of polymers to be utilized in the aqueous composition, whether they be water dispersible or water soluble salts, esters, or the acid. Aqueous solutions of polyacrylic acid are available commercially, for example, those solid under the name Acrysol A-l, Acrysol A-3, and Acrysol A-5. Water dispersible emulsions of polyacrylic acid esters are also available, for example those solid under the name Rhoplex Ac-35.
The amount of polymer utilized can vary over a wide range. It is preferred that the polymeric material in the aqueous composition be present in an amount from about 0.1 grams/liter to about 5.0 grams/liter. Naturally, the amount of polymeric material present in the solution must be sufficient to aid in the forming of a film on the metal surface. A surprising aspect of the present invention is that an aqueous composition having a concentration of polymeric material within the preferred range indicated above gives satisfactory uniform coatings which adhere to the surface and improve the siccative finishing bonding characteristics of the surface. It is apparent that the amount of polymer present should be that amount which will be particularly effective under the particular operating conditions of the treating process, so as to improve the corrosion resistant capabilities and siccative finish bonding properties of the already formed coating, or in the case where no coating has been deposited, to improve the corrosion resistance of the bare metal surface and its paint bonding characteristics. It has been found that the amount of polymeric material should preferably range from about 1.0 part to about 2.0 parts by weight for each part by weight of zirconium in the aqueous composition.
It should be noted that the combination of a zirconium compound and polymeric material is more effective, in terms of corrosion resistance and paint bonding characteristics, than the individual constituents when applied to a metal surface. This effect will be evident from the examples included hereinbelow.
As already set forth herein, any polymeric material which is stable in the presence of the zirconium compound in a waterbased composition can be used in the practice of this invention. The aqueous compositions to be used preferably are prepared by addition of the components to water. This negates any problems with respect to stability for prolonged periods of time should an aqueous concentrate be prepared and then be added directly to water in order to prepare the aqueous composition for use. It has been observed that, under certain conditions, should an aqueous concentrate be prepared to make up the aqueous composition, hydrolysis and salting out of both the zirconium compound and the polymer is evident. Of course, to prepare the composition each constituent is preferably added to the appropriate amount of water to prepare a working bath having constituent concentrations within the operative ranges set forth herein.
Preferably, the zirconium compound and polymer will evidence stability by remaining uniformly distributed throughout the aqueous phase of the composition, although in certain cases stirring of the composition may be employed to maintain a uniform dispersion during operation. In the preferred embodiment of the invention, the polymeric material should already be in solution or dispersed in the aqueous phase prior to the addition of the zirconium compound. This will further insure against any hydrolysis and precipitation of zirconium in the prepared aqueous bath.
It has been observed that should the concentration of polymeric material be less than 0.1 grams/liter no substantial improvement in the siccative finish bonding properties will result. In the preferred embodiment of this invention, with respect to the upper concentration limit of polyacrylic acid, it has been found that no additional improvement over those obtained initially is experienced by the use of more than about 5.0 grams/liter of the polyacrylic acid. The polymeric material by itself has little or no value, but combination of the polymer and the zirconium compound, as described herein, gives excellent and unexpected corrosion resistance and siccative finish bonding characteristics.
Prior to treatment with the aqueous composition, the metal surface can be treated with a solution which reacts with the surface to form a conversion coating. The conversion coating will have been applied using commonly employed processes and techniques known to the art. Particularly, the conversion coatings employed are those referred to as chromate coatings or phosphate coatings. By chromate coatings, we mean those produced from aqueous baths containing hexavalent chromium, trivalent chromium, and/or salts thereof, as well as additional constituents such as phosphoric acid, and fluoride. By phosphate coatings, we mean those produced from aqueous solutions containing phosphoric acid and salts thereof, as well as additional constituents such as fluorides, molybdates, chlorates, nitrites, and various organic accelerators.
Formula 1 is an example of a suitable dry chromate coating composition which can be added to water to form a chromate coating solution which can be employed to treat metal surfaces prior to their treatment with the aqueous composition:
Formula 1 by weight Chromic Acid 3337 Potassium Fluozirconate l5-l6 Sodium Bifluoride 45-49 Formula 2 by weight Chromic Acid 57-60 Phosphoric Acid l5-l6 Water 24-26 Formula 3 is an example of a suitable concentrated phosphate coating solution which can be diluted to desired strength and can be employed to treat metal surfaces prior to contact with the aqueous composition.
Formula 3 by weight Phosphoric Acid (75%) 24 Ammonium Hydroxide (26Be) 1-2 Ammonium Bifluoride .l-.8 Ammonium Molybdate .l-.3 Water 93-96 A surprising aspect of the present invention has been observed when the aqueous composition is employed subsequent to treatment with a coating solution as described in Formula 3 hereinabove. A coating deposited by employing the coating solution prepared with Formula 3 on aluminum surfaces has the tendency to discolor, for instance after exposure to boiling water. Should coatings of this type be applied to aluminum containers and then subjected to the conditions of pasteurization or pasteurization procedures, such as immersion in boiling water at 250F. and psi, undesirable discoloration will result. When the aqueous composition of the present invention is applied to aluminum surfaces having an underlying phosphate conversion coating of the kind formed from a solution of Formula 3, this discoloration can be prevented upon exposure of the surface to the temperature and pressure conditions described above.
Of course, the compositions of the present invention can be applied to a bare metal surface having no prior coating thereon. A surprising result is that the surface will maintain its original appearance and a coating will be produced which will also improve the adherence of a subsequently applied siccative finish or sanitary lacquer, such as an acrylic based coat, and the surface will portray improved corrosion resistance. A coating produced in the manner described herein is extremely useful per se, since it does add corrosion resistant properties to the metal surface. Should a siccative finish be applied to the treated surface, unexpected improved adhesion of the applied siccative finish is obtained.
During the coating operation, depletion of the constituents in the aqueous composition will occur at about the same rate. These losses must be replaced to maintain the bath within its optimum operating limits. The coating bath is maintained within its prescribed limits with suitable additions of the constituents in the same proportions in which these constituents exist in the operating aqueous compositions.
The preparation of the polymers suitable for use herein are well known to the art. The acrylic acid polymer resins to be employed in the preferred compositions of the present invention are prepared by means which can be considered solution-type polymerization processes which result in a low molecular weight polymer. However, resins made by dispersion, bulk and suspension type polymerization processes can also be used. One skilled in the art will be in a position to choose the particular polymeric material to meet specific conditions and circumstances under the composition is to be employed.
In the process of the present invention the metal substrate is brought into contact with the aqueous composition under suitable conditions of pH, temperature, and contact time.
The process is employed after cleaning of the metal surface has been accomplished. The cleaning step can be carried out by conventional methods which form no part of the present invention. A conventional acid or alkaline cleaner can be employed followed by a water rinse. Should the surface be heavily soiled, a detergent cleaner additive may be employed in the cleaning step.
The time of treatment of the metal surface with the aqueous composition need only be long enough to insure complete wetting of the surface and can be as long as 30 minutes. Preferably, contact time between substrate and solution should be from about one second to about one minute. One of the distinct advantages of the present invention is that suitable protection is obtained on the metal surface utilizing a treating time of as little as one second.
The coating process can be effected by employing any of the contacting techniques known to the art. Contact can be effected by spray, immersion, or flow coating techniques. Preferably the aqueous composi tion will be applied to the metal by conventional spray methods.
The pH of the composition can vary over a wide range and is influenced by the ingredients comprising the composition, particularly the soluble zirconium compound used. It has been found that best results are obtained when the operating pH of the composition is from about 6.0 to about 8.0.
The process can be operated at a temperature from about 60F. to about 120F. It is preferred to operate the process at a temperature of from about F. to about F. Generally, a slight change in the temperature will not necessitate substantial alteration of the treating time, concentration parameters, or pH adjustment.
Following application of the aqueous composition, the surface can be subjected to a drying operation. The preferred range of temperatures for the drying operation is from about 60F. to about 500F. and, of course, the length of the drying step will depend upon the temperature utilized.
Once the drying step has been effected, a siccative finish, such as a lacquer, can be applied to the surface with considerable adhesion improvement. After the drying step and application of a siccative finish, the workpiece is ready for use and is highly resistant to corrosive attack, such as from any liquid or foodstuff placed in a formed metallic container formed from the workpiece. A particular advantage of the present invention is that after contact with the aqueous composition has been accomplished, the workpiece is resistant to corrosive attack, even when subjected to prolonged exposure to air due to processing line stoppage prior to application of the siccative finish.
The following examples are illustrative of this invention and are not considered as limiting for other materials or operating conditions falling within the scope of the invention that might be substituted. Example 1 is set forth for the purpose of illustrating the preparation of an aqueous composition within the purview of this invention. Examples 2 through 12 illustrate the improved results obtained employing the aqueous composition.
In the examples, certain comparative tests, defined hereinbelow, were effected on representative test specimens. Reverse impact tests were performed to determine the adhesive characteristics of an organic or siccative coating applied to the surface. This test is commonly employed in the testing of paints. In the reverse impact test, after the panels are coated with an appropriate paint, the test surface is positioned with the painted side down and the unpainted surface is impacted by falling 1% inch ball with a force measured at 24 inch-pounds, thereby deforming the test surface.
The impacted area is then subjected to a tape adhesion test wherein tape is applied firmly to the impacted surface and the tape is allowed to sit for a specified length of time, usually about one minute. The tape is then drawn back against itself by a rapid pulling motion in a manner such that the tape is pulled from the surface at the impacted area. The reverse impact test can also be effected after the surface has undergone an immersion test as described below.
. Selected test specimens were subjected to an Immersion Test. In this procedure, the test specimens are immersed in deionized water or in a solution consisting of deionized water and 1% by volume of a liquid detergent at 180F. for 30 minutes. The specimens are then removed from the solution and rinsed, then blotted dry. A portion of the test specimen is immediately scribed with a cross-hatch tool having eleven cutting blades spaced one millimeter apart. Using the cross-hatch tool, one hundred squares measuring one millimeter by one millimeter are scribed on the painted surface. This is accomplished by drawing the scribing device across the area to be tested and then repeating the procedure by drawing the device across the same area but at a 90 angle to the first scribing. The cross-hatched area is subjected to a tape adhesion test wherein tape is applied firmly to the surface of the test panel over the entire cross-hatched area so that no air bubbles or wrinkles are present between the tape and the surface. The tape is allowed to set for one minute and is then drawn back against itself with a rapid pulling motion in a manner such that the tape is pulled from the surface of the specimen.
A specific area on the test specimens which had not been impacted or cross-hatched was also subjected to a Tape Adhesion Test. In this test, tape is applied firmly to a portion of the surface which has not been impacted or cross-hatched. The tape is applied in a manner such that no air bubbles or wrinkles are present between the tape and the surface and the tape is allowed to set for one minute and then drawn back against itself with a rapid pulling motion in a manner such that the tape is pulled from the surface of the specimen. This tape adhesion test is referred to herein as a Field Test.
After each test, the test specimens were evaluated and rated, employing the rating system set forth hereinbelow.
The specimens were evaluated for paint loss or paint failure utilizing a rating scale of to wherein 0 represents complete paint loss and 10 represents no paint loss. This quantitative determination was performed on the impacted area, the cross-hatched area and the field test area of the test specimens.
EXAMPLE 1 mls. of an acrylic acid polymer (Acrysol A-l, an aqueous solution comprising polyacrylic acid, manufactured by Rohm and Haas) was added to 3 liters of water. 60 mls. of commercially available ammonium zirconium carbonate (an aqueous solution having a pH of about 8.5 marketed by TAM, Division of National Lead Industries, Inc., and having 9% by weight of zirconium therein (measured as ZrO was then added such that an aqueous composition comprising ammonium zirconyl carbonate and polyacrylic acid having about 2 grams/liter of zirconium (measured as ZrO was formed. The pH of the solution was measured at 7.2.
EXAMPLE 2 3% inches wide aluminum coil stock was employed in this procedure. The aluminum coil was put into 6 inches long test panels. The panels were cleaned with an alkaline cleaner at l60F. for 15 minutes and rinsed with water. The test panels were then subjected to a conventional deoxidizing process and then subjected to a chromate-phosphate processing sequence providing a chromate-phosphate conversion coating on the surface. A coating solution was prepared specified in Formula 2 hereinabove was applied to the surface, depositing a chromate-phosphate coating of 5-7 mg. persquare foot.
One set of control panels was cleaned and deoxidized, and another set of control panels was cleaned, deoxidized, and contacted with the above chromatephosphate solution.
Coated test panels were immersed in an aqueous composition consisting of polyacrylic acid and ammonium zirconium carbonate having a polyacrylic acid concentration of 2.7 grams/liter and a zirconium concentration of 1.8 grams/liter, for 15 seconds at room temperature, and allowed to air dry. The pH of the aqueous composition was recorded at about 7.2.
All test panels, i.e. those treated with the ammonium zirconium carbonate and polyacrylic acid composition, as well as the control panels, where then subjected to various testing procedures set forth below in order to determine the effects on the workpiece.
A room temperature weight loss test and high temperature pressure weight loss test were performed on the control and test panels. In the high temperaturepressure test, the specimens were placed in a pressure vessel having a glass liner therein and a carbonated beverage was poured therein. The vessels were sealed and kept at F. for 5 hours in one sequence and 24 hours in a second sequence. The control and test specimens had been weighed prior to the test and were weighed thereafter. The average weight losses in milligrams per square foot of the panels is noted in Table 1 below, based on the observed weight loss of the groups of panels in each treatment sequence.
In the Room Temperature weight loss test, the control and test panels, after weighing, were placed in the vessels at room temperature and the beverage poured therein. Specific groups of specimens were permitted to sit therein for l, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 7 days respectively. At the conclusion of the test period, the panels were thoroughly rinsed, dried and re-weighed. Appreciable differences in weight change were noted. The results are listed in Table l hereinbelow.
