Composition for treating surface of metal, method for treating surface of metal using the composition, and coating film for treating surface of metal utilizing the composition and the method

Abstract

A process for metal surface treatment includes dipping a metallic material with a cleaned surface into a composition containing 5 to 30% by weight of a nonionic and / or cationic water-based resin, 100 to 1,000 ppm of trivalent Bi ions, and an aminopolycarboxylic acid at 0.5 to 10 times in molar concentration based on the Bi ions, then performing a first electrolysis using the metallic material as a cathode at a voltage of 0 to 15 V for 10 to 120 seconds, and performing a second electrolysis at a voltage of 50 to 300 V for 30 to 300 seconds, in which the performing the first electrolysis is prior to the performing the second electrolysis, and thereafter rising with water, and baking to deposit a film over the metallic material.

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The inventors have discovered that by creating films using a special process, they can improve the ability of a resin to cure and increase the resistance to corrosion of the metal surface. This is achieved by having a high concentration of bismuth on the metal surface. The technical effect of this invention is improved performance of the metal surface in various applications such as industrial processes.

Problems solved by technology

Since desired corrosion resistance may not be obtained solely by electrodeposited films obtained by electrodeposition coating in many cases, however, surface treatment of chemical conversion type, such as zinc phosphate-based chemical conversion treatment has been typically applied in a stage prior to such electrodeposition coating.

However, sufficient rust resistance could not be obtained thereby and, therefore, surface treatment such as zinc phosphate-based chemical conversion treatment was essential.

However, the bismuth compounds in these patent references only act in place of chromium and / or lead compounds and, therefore, sufficient corrosion resistance may not be obtained without surface treatment such as zinc phosphate-based chemical conversion treatment.
