Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a process for the anti-corrosion coating of small metal parts, capable of giving the small metal parts adequate corrosion resistance characteristics and capable of standardizing the friction values of the various components of the small metal parts treated.
  • the term corrosion indicates a slow and continuous process of aggression and wear of a material, resulting in deterioration of the physical characteristics or properties of this material.
  • some tests are carried out in accelerated corrosion conditions, in order to evaluate their resistance in a short time.
  • the material is subjected to specific conditions which should cause their corrosion. The effects of these conditions are measured after or during the test.
  • An example of corrosion test is the salt spray chamber, which is an accelerated technical corrosion test for the qualitative evaluation of the corrosion resistance of a material, or of the corrosion protection provided by a coating.
  • This test uses an apparatus inside which the material to be tested is subjected to an environment with a high salt concentration, so as to simulate the behavior of the material in marine environments.
  • This type of method is regulated by the standard ISO 9227, having as title: Corrosion tests in artificial atmospheres — Salt spray tests.
  • the most common processes for the treatment of small metal parts currently used in order to reduce corrosion are phosphating, electrogalvanizing and coating with resins containing metal flakes.
  • the process according to the invention proposes replacing phosphating.
  • Phosphating is a chemical process by means of which the surface of a metal material is altered, creating phosphate crystals chemically bonded to the substrate with the aim of exploiting the properties of these compounds to improve corrosion resistance and possibly promote the adhesion of a paint applied subsequently.
  • the phosphating treatment uses metal phosphate solutions (zinc, iron, manganese, nickel phosphates) to coat the surface of the part to be treated with a protective crystalline layer with a phosphate thickness of around 5 - 10 ⁇ , which provides corrosion resistance and improves adhesion of the subsequent layer of paint through an increase in microscopic surface roughness.
  • the phosphating process is carried out in immersion plants, normally integrated with the degreasing plants.
  • a typical example of phosphating cycle for metal materials such as small metal parts comprises the following steps:
  • D. Oiling To increase the protection efficacy, the phosphate layer is impregnated with emulsified or neat oils. According to the products used, this operation has an anti- corrosion function, usually aimed at allowing the treated parts to travel through a short logistics path between production and use without being damaged. Final oiling should also allow a given friction coefficient to be obtained, at least until use. This characteristic is essential, for example, in engine screws where the tension installed through tightening must be specific and repeatable. In fact, the oil applied tends to disperse during the logistics path (transport, selection, packaging and handling) generating loss of and/or nonconformity with the required corrosion resistance and friction coefficient characteristics.
  • the phosphating process is very complex, requiring, as well as degreasing, acid pickling, the actual phosphating operation and oiling, as well as various other steps such as rinsing, activation, to promote even crystal distribution, and passivation, which eliminates any crystals of different type, which would cause the paint to detach in a damp environment.
  • the phosphating plant is therefore complex and requires, as well as large investments for its implementation, high operating costs for the consumption of chemical products, water and energy. Moreover, it requires careful management, with frequent analysis of the baths and consequent restoring of optimal conditions, removal of the sludges produced in the phosphating tank and in the degreasing tanks, and management of the acid baths.
  • the sludges that are produced in the phosphating bath are, in particular, harmful for the environment and for human health. These sludges must be disposed of correctly in order to prevent any contamination of the environment and of the operators.
  • a coating composition for use in the protection of metal surfaces which comprise a binder, a corrosion inhibitor, and a solvent.
  • the corrosion inhibitor comprises aluminum particles and zinc particles. It can also comprise a metal phosphate as an anti-corrosion additive.
  • the solvent is an organic solvent, preferably a hydrocarbon solvent.
  • This coating composition belongs to the category of coatings containing metal flakes, which are expensive, and may contain phosphates, in which case it does not avoid the disadvantages of the phosphating process mentioned above. Coatings containing metal flakes may release in the environment metal particles in the form of powders.
  • US 2004/0127625 Al contains organic solvents, which are undesirable for reasons well known to a skilled person, including release in the environment of volatile organic compounds (VOC).
  • US 2012/0237778 Al describes aqueous fiuoropolymer coating compositions and coated metal substrates with improved corrosion resistance.
  • the metal substrate is typically pre- treated with phosphates, so that when the resin composition is applied, the metal is already coated.
  • An organic solvent may be added to aid in the film formation. Therefore, the same disadvantages pointed out for US 2004/0127625 Al apply.
  • an object of the present invention is to provide a process for the coating of small metal parts that is capable of giving corrosion resistance characteristics superior to phosphating, in particular that is capable of giving sufficient salt spray resistance for the use of these small metal parts in the motor vehicle industry assembly line.
  • a further object of the present invention is to provide a process for the coating of small metal parts that is not polluting, i.e., that does not use substances harmful for the environment and for humans, and that does not produce toxic processing waste that must be further treated to be disposed of.
  • Yet another object of the invention is to provide a process for the coating of small metal parts requiring a surface preparation of the small metal parts that does not cause embrittlement due to hydrogen inclusion, preventing risks of fatigue failure and/or delayed cracking.
  • Yet another object of the present invention is to provide a process for the coating of small metal parts capable of supplying a product with a standardized friction coefficient, i.e., the various components of the small metal parts have a similar friction coefficient.
  • Still another object of the present invention is to provide a process for the coating of small metal parts that is cheaper than the processes that apply aluminum particles and zinc particles.

It gives better results and does not have the negative impact on the environment of the conventional phosphating process. It can also be appreciated that the process for the anti-corrosion coating of uncoated small metal parts according to the present invention is cheaper than the processes that apply aluminum particles and zinc particles onto the metal parts, but allows forming an effective anti-corrosion coating.
