Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method for passivating cast parts made of aluminum and / or its alloys, in which the casting, which is solidified after the liquid casting and removed from the molding, is transferred directly into a quench bath with a passivating aqueous composition.
- the present invention also encompasses a process for the anticorrosive treatment of castings made of aluminum and / or its alloys, in which the solidified and dissolved out of the molding casting having a temperature of more than 300 0 C with a passivating aqueous composition for quenching the casting in contact is brought, after which a mechanical treatment of the casting and a subsequent cleaning and degreasing step, a further passivating treatment is carried out before the casting is optionally coated with an organic topcoat.
- the passivating aqueous composition of the quench bath preferably contains at least in total 10 ppm of water-soluble compounds of the elements Ti, Zr, Hf, Si, Mn, Mo and / or W based on the respective elements in the processes according to the invention.
- the present invention comprises a casting of aluminum and / or its alloys, which has been treated in a method according to the invention for passivation or anti-corrosive treatment and the use of such a casting of aluminum and / or its alloys in a process for applying further anti-corrosion layers and / or decorative layer pads.
- quenching quenching
- various compositions for the quench bath which, on the one hand, have an optimized cooling rate in the Quenching and on the other to provide temporary protection against corrosion of the quenched casting.
- German laid-open specification DE 3220931 discloses aqueous quenching media for metals, in particular for iron alloys, which contain from 0.1 to 30% by weight of polyoxyalkylene glycol ethers. On the basis of temperature / time curves for the quenching process, a positive influence of the addition of polyoxyalkylene glycol ethers on the cooling process could be demonstrated, which is that the cooling rate during cooling is maximized via steam skin formation and the cooling rate during cooling under nucleate boiling is minimized.
- DE 3220931 also discloses corrosion inhibitors based on salts of organic oxo acids with alkanolamines, which additionally influence the cooling characteristic. Further, in DE 3220931 further polymeric additives from the prior art are cited, which can be used for the optimization of the quenching process. These include, for example, polyvinyl alcohols, polyamides and salts of polyacrylic acid.
- No. 4,595,425 describes nitht-free corrosion-inhibiting quench baths for steel in the form of aqueous compositions containing aromatic carboxylic acids with nitrogen-containing substituents which additionally contain the polymeric compounds known in the prior art as aids for an optimized cooling rate.
- quench media previously described in the prior art is suitable for providing a durable passivation of the surface of a casting of aluminum and / or its alloys that is also capable of being directly coated with an organic overcoat.
- the metallic castings solidified after liquid casting are usually mechanically reworked after deburring for deburring, so that in the prior art the conventional passivating pretreatment is carried out only after the cleaning and degreasing of the casting, so that the addition of inhibitors in the quenching medium is only for the Suppression of flash rust and only for the quenching of ferrous metals is made.
- the addition of inhibitors to the quenching medium in the treatment of cast aluminum parts exclusively for the temporary corrosion protection up to the actual passivation after the mechanical processing of the casting is completely dispensed with because of the sufficient protective effect of the thermal oxide on the aluminum surface.
- the object of the present invention is thus to improve the temporary corrosion protection by a durable passivation of castings made of aluminum and its alloys, without introducing additional treatment steps in existing processes from the production of the casting to the painting of the same with a decorative or corrosion-protective coating.
- the solution of the object of the present invention is therefore to perform a passivating treatment of the surface of the casting during the quenching of the solidified after the liquid casting and removed from the molding aluminum casting, so even before a mechanical processing of the casting.
- Pore formation is due to gases dissolved in the liquid aluminum and / or in the liquid alloy which form bubbles when the pressure of the dissolved gases is greater than the metallostatic pressure. Likewise, gases can cause blistering, which arise as reaction gases of the liquid metal with its molding or come from the evaporation of moisture from the molding during liquid casting.
- Gas bubbles in die castings are primarily caused by entrained in the mold filling and vortexed air that rise during the solidification process in the form of body and near the surface, i. usually in the upper part, but also inside the casting, to be enclosed. Basically, the blistering or pore formation in metal casting process can not be completely avoided even with high technical effort. Rather, it is necessary to reduce the technical effort that directly determines the production costs as possible.
- aluminum castings are also understood to mean castings made of aluminum alloys.
- Preferred main alloying constituents of the aluminum casting alloy are Si, Mg, Cu and Zn.
- those aluminum moldings are understood which have arisen from a shaping process by filling a shaped body with liquid metal under the influence of gravity, centrifugal force or under pressure and by solidification in the molded body.
- the casting can be produced, for example, in the sand, mold, pressure and continuous casting.
- the liquid metal is pressed under high pressure into divided metallic permanent molds.
- high flow velocities occur in the die, wherein after completion of mold filling, the liquid metal is compressed according to the applied filling pressure.
- one of the particular advantages of die casting is the very accurate contour reproduction of the molded part, so that especially thin-walled and dimensionally accurate molded parts are accessible.
- the manufacturing process by means of shared permanent molds and the high contour accuracy in Pressure die casting inevitably means that the castings have to be deburred, ie mechanically reworked.
- the present invention is particularly suitable for cast aluminum castings, as these have a burr at the mating surface of the moldings, which must be removed mechanically, so that any previous corrosion-protective passivation of the casting at these locations must be renewed. For this purpose, cleaning and degreasing of the casting to remove lubricants from the mechanical treatment is always necessary before any additional corrosion-protective treatment can take place.
- a conventional passivation which takes place exclusively after deburring and after the cleaning and degreasing step, does not provide sufficient protection against corrosion, since the inner surface of the pores or bubbles in particular after the contact with the lubricant and the subsequent degreasing solution is only insufficiently wetted with the passivating treatment solution.
- a passivating pretreatment or a passivation of the casting which already takes place before the cleaning and degreasing of the machined casting and in particular during the quenching of the cast aluminum after the liquid casting and removed from the molding, is then within the meaning of the present invention, if a at least temporary corrosion protection is effected by chemical conversion of the surface of the casting of aluminum.
- the chemical conversion of the surface of the aluminum casting therefore involves the change in the chemical composition of the intermediate layer which separates the interior of the casting and the surrounding medium.
- the chemical conversion may consist in particular in a conversion of the natural oxide layer into another essentially inorganic covering layer, wherein the inorganic covering layer is at least partially composed of metal cations of the conversion treatment solution.
- This type of passivating treatment corresponds with it a typical conversion treatment such as occurs in the phosphating of aluminum surfaces.
- passivating pretreatments are generally not covered by the present invention, which form outer layers, in particular crystalline outer layers with a layer coverage of more than 0.5 g / m 2 .

- the passivating pretreatment may consist in effecting, by contact with a composition containing organic polymers, an additional coating of the surface of the casting with a thin coating layer of less than 100 mg / m 2 of polymer layer support.
- quench baths with aqueous compositions are provided for such a passivating pretreatment, containing as main active component water-soluble and / or water-dispersible organic polymers and / or copolymers which at least partially phosphonic acid and / or phosphoric acid groups and their esters.
- the conversion of the surface of aluminum may alternatively be effected by chemisorption of surface-active compounds to form a monomolecular or multimolecular layer of a few nanometers thickness.
- quench baths containing aqueous compositions containing at least one organophosphoric acid or organophosphonic acid having more than 3 carbon atoms are preferred for this purpose.
- organophosphoric acids or organophosphonic acids disclosed in international application WO 200220873 are particularly preference is given here to the organophosphoric acids or organophosphonic acids disclosed in international application WO 200220873.

- the present invention therefore preferably relates to a method for passivating cast aluminum parts, in which the aluminum casting which has solidified after the liquid casting and is removed from the molding is transferred directly to a quench bath having an aqueous composition, characterized in that the aqueous composition has at least one of the following conditions: a ) -c): a) the composition contains at least a total of 10 ppm of water-soluble compounds of the elements Ti, Zr, Hf, Si, Mn, Mo, and / or W, more preferably of the elements Ti and / or Zr, based on the respective ones Elements; b) the composition contains at least 0.01 g / l of water-soluble and / or water-dispersible organic polymers and / or organic copolymers which at least partially partially phosphonic acid and / or phosphoric acid groups and their esters have; c) the composition contains at least a total of 10 ppm of water-soluble organophosphoric acids and / or organophosphonic acids having more than
- the aqueous composition of the quench bath in the process according to the invention already contains at least 10 ppm of water-soluble compounds of the elements Ti, Zr, Hf, Si, Mn, Mo, and / or W with respect to the respective elements, then at least condition a) is fulfilled
