8 Claims. (CI. 41-42) The present invention relates to a novel and improved etching or mordant composition especially useful in connection with high-alloy corrosion and heat resistant steels and a process of etching or chemical-milling such metals.
Objects and advantages of the invention will be set forth in part hereinafter and in part will be obvious herefrom, or may be learned by practice with the invention, the same being realized and attained by means of the compositions, processes and steps pointed out in the appended claims.
The invention consists in the novel compositions, processes, steps and improvements herein shown and described.
The present invention has for its object the provision of a novel and improved process for the etching or chemical-milling of corrosion and heat resistant steels. A further object is the provision of a novel and improved mordant composition which acts rapidly on the corrosion and heat resistant steel and which does not cause any substantial embrittlement of the metal or alloy. Still another object is the provision of a novel and improved mordant and process for use with corrosion and heat resistant steels which acts rapidly on the steels, and leaves the etched steel with an excellent surface finish.
In accordance with the composition of the present invention, the mordant comprises an aqueous solution of concentrated hydrochloric and nitric acids, in certain proportions together with ferric chloride and a surface active, wetting agent which is relatively stable in the acid solution. This mordant may be used with suitable resists, such as resinous resists or bees-wax, for the chemical-milling or etching or a wide variety of corrosion and heat resistant steels, the etching or chemical-milling being controlled by means of a suitable resist or stopping-out material.
Referring now in detail to the composition of matter wry. Mitotic: 1.1.1
2,940,837 Patented June 14, 1960 3. invention is prepared in accordance with the following general formula, and consists essentially of:
(Weight percent) ice Hydrochloric acid content 25% to 30 /z%, pref erably 26%.
Nitric acid content 9 /&% to 16%, preferably 12%.
Ferric chloride (6H O) 0.15% to 1.0%, preferably /2%.
Wetting agent 0.0015% to 0.08%,
preferably 0.04%.
Water Enough to make 15 Such a bath is conveniently prepared by adding from four to eight parts by volume (preferably five parts) of concentrated (33%) hydrochloric acid to one part by volume of concentrated (69%) nitric acid, mixing, and adding to each liter of the mixed acids from about onehalf to two ounces avdp. (preferably about 2 oz.) of
Petrowet W.N. is a sodium alkyl sulfate.)
Etching baths of the kind described which contain less than about 4 parts by volume of concentrated hydrochloric acid for each volume of concentrated nitric acid work too fast, and 5 parts of hydrochloric acid for one volume of nitric acid gives a superior surface finish to the etched parts than the 4 to 1 ratio bath.
Increasing the hydrochloric/nitric acid ratio slows down the etching speed of the bath, and when an 8 to 1 ratio is exceeded, the bath works too slowly on corrosion and heat resistant steels to be commercially useful.
Increasing or decreasing the strength of the acids used will also influence the character and speed of etching, but the etching bath is operative within the percentage compositions given above.
Reducing the concentration of the-wetting agent much below 0.0015% results in a poorer surface finish. Increasing the wetting agent concentration above about 0.08% causes excessive foaming of the etching bath, and is objectionable from that point of view.
The mordant or etching baths of the present invention are primarily for use in the etching or chemical milling of the corrosion and heat resistant steel designated as A.M.S. 5525 having the following approximate analysis:
Percent which forms a part of the present invention, the mordant Cromium 15 or etching bath comprises an aqueous solution of certain Nickel 25 proportions of concentrated hydrochloric acid, concen- Molybdenum 1.3 trated nitnc acid, ferric chloride and a wetting agent, Vanadium 0.3 preferably a sulfated fatty alcohol or a sodium alkyl 5111- Titanium 2.0 fate, which is relatively stable in the mordant and is not Aluminum 0.2 rapidly decomposed by the nitric and hydrochloric acids Carbon 0.08 present in the mordant bath. II'OH Remainder The preferred mordant or etching bath of the present but has also been found to be useful in connection with Cb -AMS Fe 0 Mn st P s Cr N1 M0 Al Cu 811 and v 0' Ti 5504- .15 1.00 1.00 .04 .03 11513.5 .75 .50 1 05 .50 1 05 5512-.-. .08 2.00 .50-1.00 .04 .03 .00 5521- .0a 2.00 .75 .01 .0a 5524- .08 2.00 1.00 .04 .03 5616.... .12-.17 .50 .50 .04 .0a 5735- .08 1002.00 .40-1.00 .04 .03 1'5-2 25 5730- .08 1.00-2.00 .40-1.00 .04 .0a 1 2'25 0355. .2s-.a3 .70-.90 .20-35 .04 .04 5040. .15 .25.60 .04 .05 1:11:11:

the preceding alloys; whose percentage composition is given in the table.
Concentrated hydrochloric acid alone will not deeply etch such corrosion and heat resistant steels, nor will ferric chloride and hydrochloric acid in the absence of nitric acid, nor will a mixture of ferric chloride and nitric acid, although certain of these solutions will pickle the surface of such corrosion and heat resistant steels.
With typical corrosion and heat resistant steels such as AMS No. 5525, and at etching temperatures of from 105 to 150 F. as much as 0.025" thickness of metal can be removed per hour of etching.
The corrosion and heat resistant steel to be etched or chemical-milled may be in the form of sheet, finished parts, forgings or castings, and these parts are provided with the surface coating of impervious material in those areas which are not to be etched, after which the alloy or metal is immersed in, or sprayed with, the mordant for a suflicient period of time to remove the desired amount of metal. The etching may be carried out at room or at an elevated temperature, and during the etching process,'the hydrogen evolved is rapidly removed from the surface of the metal or alloy.
The chemical-milled pieces have a bright, clean surface which is relatively smooth, only slightly matted.
When the rapid action of the mordant has ceased, the bath is preferably replaced by a new bath.
The invention in its broader aspects is not limited to the specific compositions, processes and steps shown and described but departures may be made therefrom within the scope of the accompanying claims without departing from the principles of the invention and without sacrificing its chief advantages.
