This invention relates generally to compositions and methods for the formation of protective, corrosion-inhibiting coatings on metals, or other materials coated with metals, without the use of chromium in the hexavalent oxidation state. More particularly, this invention relates to non-toxic, corrosion-inhibiting conversion coatings based on trivalent and tetravalent cobalt and methods of making and using the same.
Metals like aluminum, zinc, magnesium, titanium, cadmium, silver, copper, tin, lead, cobalt, zirconium, beryllium, or indium, their alloys, or items coated with these metals, tend to corrode rapidly in the presence of water due to their low oxidation-reduction (redox) potentials or ease of oxide formation. Non-alloyed specimens of these metals typically form a natural oxide film that will protect them somewhat and reduce their overall rate of corrosion. However, alloys of these metals are particularly sensitive to corrosive attack. These materials also have a significant problem with paint adhesion. The as-formed metal surfaces are typically very smooth, and they tend to form weakly bound surface oxides. The native oxides do not normally provide a robust base on which subsequent paints can anchor themselves. These metal alloys have many uses ranging from architectural adornments to protective coatings on ferrous alloys to structural aerospace components.
The 2000 and 7000 series of aluminum alloys are used throughout military and civilian aircraft because of their high strength to weight ratio. However, these aluminum alloys are very sensitive to corrosive attack because their natural oxide layer offers only a limited degree of protection. Materials with greater redox potentials, such as steels or carbon fibers, in proximity to aluminum alloys will promote corrosive attack in water by the formation of a galvanic corrosion couple with the less-noble light metal alloy.
Inhibiting the initiation, growth, and extent of corrosion is a significant part of component and systems design for the successful long-term use of metal objects. Uniform physical performance and safety margins of a part, a component, or an entire system can be compromised by corrosion.
One method to enhance the corrosion resistance of these alloys is through the use of a conversion coating. A conversion coating is a self-healing, corrosion-inhibiting layer formed during intentional exposure to a chemically reactive solution. The conversion coating process forms an adherent surface containing an integral corrosion inhibitor with “throwing power” that can provide protection to coating breaches. The metal is exposed to a compound that chemically alters the surface and forms a coating that provides a high degree of corrosion resistance. A chemical conversion coating applied to the surface of a less-noble alloy can reduce the extent and severity of aqueous corrosion, provide long-term property stability, and extend the useful life of the object of manufacture.
Conversion coatings incorporate a portion of the base metal and form a mechanical, chemical, and electrostatic barrier to corrosive attack. A critical feature of effective conversion coatings is their ability to provide corrosion protection to the base metal in the presence of a coating breach.
Anodization of a metal surface followed by “sealing” or “rinsing” of the anodized metal does not constitute the formation of a conversion coating in our usage. Anodization, the formation of a porous oxide film on the metal, is achieved by the application of an electrical potential to the metal. This oxide film must then be “sealed”, “washed”, or “rinsed” in order to impart complete corrosion protection. Typically, the corrosion protection afforded by an anodized piece is due to the barrier oxide film. Conversion coatings, however, grow an oxide coating on the metal without an externally applied electrical potential. The protective film is produced by a chemical redox reaction between the metal surface and the conversion coating solution. The film is composed both of an oxide and integral corrosion inhibitor species formed during exposure to the conversion coating solution. A true conversion coating therefore affords corrosion protection from an oxide barrier film that has co-deposited oxidative corrosion inhibitor species.
A conversion-coated surface may be left bare or afforded further protection by the application of additional films or coatings. Conversion coatings need to adhere to the substrate and should result in a surface that will promote the formation of a strong bond with subsequently applied coatings. Bonding with subsequently applied coatings is a function of the morphology and chemical composition of the conversion coating. Adhesion promoting surface treatments may exhibit corrosion inhibiting characteristics. Depending on the intended application, a conversion coating, as described herein, may be considered to be an “adhesion promoter” and vice versa.
Conversion coatings are usually formed by the application of a conversion coating solution to a metal surface. The solution can be applied by immersion, spray, fogging, wiping, or other means.
Hexavalent chromium has traditionally been used in the formation of protective conversion coatings for aluminum, zinc, magnesium, titanium, cadmium, silver, copper, tin, lead, cobalt, zirconium, beryllium, indium, and their alloys. Compounds such as Alodine 1200™ (Henkel Co.) and Alumagold™ (Turco Co.) contain hexavalent chromium as their main corrosion-inhibiting compound.
Two generic types of hexavalent chromium coatings have been widely used. The newer “gold” coatings are named for the faint gold tint that the coatings have when they form on the surface of aluminum alloys. The compositions and application procedures of these “gold” hexavalent chromium conversion coating formulations are described in United States military process specifications, as well as other federal guidelines. Therefore, guidelines for the application of these solutions to aluminum (MIL C-5541; MIL C-81706; MIL STD-171; ASTM B-449), zinc (ASTM B-633; ASTM B-201; MIL C-17711; QQ Z-325a), magnesium (MIL M-3171), cadmium (ASTM A-165; ASTM B-201; QQ P-416b), silver (ASTM B-700; QQ S-365a), copper (ASTM B-281), and tin (ASTM A-599; QQ-T-425a) are available. The common components to these “gold” conversion coating baths are hexavalent chromium, complex fluorides, and ferricyanide. Older “green” conversion coatings containing hexavalent chromium have also been described, and the color formed on aluminum alloys through the application of these conversion coatings is a light green color. The “green” formulations all contain hexavalent chromium, a fluoride, and an acidic phosphate component. The major compositional difference between the two is that the current “gold” formulation contains ferricyanide and the older “green” formulations contain phosphate.
Corrosion-resistant compositions have also been described which contain hexavalent chromium, fluoride, and molybdic acid or molybdates, rather than ferricyanide or phosphate. Tungstates and vanadates have also been used in combination with hexavalent chromium and fluoride. Hexavalent chromium formulations which do not contain a fluoride source, and which contain borate ions instead of ferricyanide or phosphate or molybdate have also been described. Hexavalent chromium has also been used in combination with stannates, oxalates, and tellurates. Finally, corrosion protection of aluminum, magnesium, or zinc alloys has been achieved through the use of hexavalent chromium, fluoride, and rare earth compounds.
The variation in the type and amount of additional components such as ferricyanide, phosphate, molybdate, and borate, etc., in conversion coat formulations based on hexavalent chromium is significant in light of the chemistry developed and presented in the present invention. It is important to note that hexavalent chromium conversion coatings which have nearly identical formulations, except for one or more of the non-chromium components, result in obvious differences on the applied metal surface for a given alloy (such as “gold” and “green” coatings). It is also important to note that differences in the composition of aluminum alloys will influence the chemistry of the conversion coating formed when only one hexavalent chromium conversion coat composition is used.
Significant efforts have been made to replace chromium with other metals for corrosion-inhibiting applications due to toxicity, environmental, and regulatory concerns. Cobalt is one non-toxic, non-regulated metal which has been considered as a chromium replacement. Cobalt (like chromium) exhibits more than one oxidation state (Co+2 and Co+3). In addition, the oxidation-reduction potential of the Co+3—Co+2 couple is comparable to the Cr+6—Cr+3 couple. For example, in acid solution:
A number of processes have been reported in the literature which make use of cobalt in conversation coating bath solutions, as well as general corrosion protection or coloring of the alloys. However, the coatings formed by these processes provide only limited protection and do not approach the benefit derived from the use of hexavalent chromium.
The use of film-forming substances, such as polymers, silicates, sol-gel, etc., which have no inherent oxidizing character, in conversion coating solutions has been described in the literature. The film formers may enhance short-term corrosion resistance by functioning as a barrier layer. However, these films interfere with substrate oxidation during the conversion coating process and produce thin, incompletely anodized surfaces, resulting in poor mechanical adhesion to the solution-deposited polymer film and to later applied coatings. Restricting the formation of the oxide layer that acts as a reservoir for the active corrosion inhibitor yields a barrier film that is inhibitor starved. Barrier layers lacking an active corrosion inhibitor have been demonstrated to be capable of inhibiting corrosion only as long as the barrier is not breached, as by a scratch or other flaw. Film formers can actually enhance corrosion on a surface after failure due to the well known effects of crevice corrosion. The addition of polymer during conversion coating also produces a smooth coating which can reduce subsequent paint adhesion, resulting in reduced long-term corrosion protection.
The following references describe conversion coating processes based on cobalt: PCT International Application Nos. WO 96/29,448, WO 98/51,841, WO 96/21,753, WO 93/05,198, and S. African Patent No. ZA 93/01,234 to Dolan; PCT International Application Nos. WO 96/05,335, WO 94/00,619, and European Patent Application Nos. EP 523,288, EP 458,020, EP 488,430, and U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,873,953, 5,411,606, 5,378,293, 5,298,092, and 5,551,994 to Schriever. These specifications use additives that they term “bath stabilizers.” These chemical species are claimed to form more stable coordination bonds with cobalt(III) cations than with cobalt(II) cations in the aqueous conversion coating solution. Specifically, carboxylates, hydroxyalkyl amines (aminoalcohols, such as triethanolamine), or nitrito complexes are described in these specifications as being added to the bath to retain trivalent cobalt in solution and to stabilize concentrations during the coating process. These bath stabilizers only treat and extend the service life of the cobalt(III) in the conversion coating solution itself.
“Bath stabilizers” used in the manner of these specifications reduce the formation and precipitation of Co+3-containing solids during coating deposition. Bath stabilizers described in these patents behave similar to masking agents for chemical gravimetric analysis to keep unwanted compounds from precipitating. They actually serve to starve the deposited coating of Co+3 by shifting the equilibrium away from the formation of a corrosion-inhibiting coating containing trivalent cobalt on a metal surface to the trivalent cobalt remaining dissolved in the coating bath. The compounds formed from the solutions described in these specifications have lower structural stability in the coating, as well as higher aqueous solubility, than if no bath stabilizer were used at all. The art described in the specification and examples herein shows that the solubilities of the formed compounds are still too high to afford long-term corrosion protection.
A post-treatment rinse with a vanadate or tungstate solution is used in PCT International Application Nos. WO 96/29,448 and WO 98/51,841 to Dolan, as well as PCT International Application No. WO 96/05,335 and U.S. Pat. No. 5,551,994 to Schriever. This rinse seals the coating deposited from the solution, as described in these specifications. Co+3-vanadate/tungstate complexes form during these sealing treatments. These complexes are slightly soluble and serve to enhance the corrosion resistance of the deposited coating. However, the sealing step used in this art is not an efficient method to treat the coating thickness or to incorporate sparingly soluble Co+3 compounds into the coating effectively. The effectiveness of the vanadate/tungstate sealing step is also reduced because the bath stabilizers carried over from the first solution increase the solubility of Co+3-vanadate/tungstate complexes. Furthermore, the toxicity of the conversion coatings is not reduced if pentavalent vanadium is used in chrome-free compositions because the threshold limit value (TLV) of both CrO3 and V2O5 is 0.05 mg/m3, and the permissible exposure limit (PEL) of both is 0.5 mg/m3.
These Schriever and Dolan coating processes also require the use of elevated temperatures, especially for the sealing process (40 to 75° C. being a typical range). Conversion coating processes that take place at elevated temperatures (above room temperature) can result in higher coating costs and increase the difficulty of the coating application.
Accordingly, a need exists for improved corrosion-protection conversion coatings composed of currently unregulated and/or non-toxic materials which have an effectiveness, ease of application, and performance comparable to coatings formed with hexavalent chromium, and for methods of making and using the same.
That need is met by the present invention which represents a significant improvement in the formulation of non-toxic conversion coatings through the use of trivalent cobalt. The conversion coatings of the present invention inhibit corrosion to a higher degree than any other known cobalt-based coatings. Moreover, the coatings inhibit corrosion to a degree comparable to commercial formulations based on hexavalent chromium. They do not require the use of elevated temperatures, exotic materials, or application methods.
The present invention utilizes ‘valency stabilization’ of the trivalent (or tetravalent) cobalt ion in the as-formed conversion coatings to achieve corrosion resistance that is comparable to hexavalent chromium. More specifically, in order to achieve a high degree of corrosion resistance, a conversion coating can exhibit the following characteristics:
This phenomena is exhibited in the hexavalent chromium systems, wherein the highly charged hexavalent chromium is surrounded by very polar ferricyanide ions. The orientation of the dipoles of the ferricyanide ions with respect to the highly charged chromate ion serves to attract additional layers of ions in the aqueous solution. These ions form a protective shell around the cation-stabilizer complex.
The corrosion resistance of a number of aluminum alloys as tested using both ASTM B-117 and ASTM G-85 has been enhanced through the use of stabilized trivalent cobalt conversion coatings. Not only do these optimized coatings retard corrosion to a higher degree than other prior art trivalent cobalt baths, but their corrosion resistance is comparable to that of hexavalent chromium systems. Unlike the prior art, the trivalent cobalt conversion coatings of the present invention do not require elevated temperatures for their application, nor do they use materials which are as toxic as the hexavalent chromium they are attempting to replace.
The valence stabilizers can be inorganic or organic. A multitude of organic and inorganic stabilizer materials have been used.
In one aspect, the invention comprises a mechanistic and chemical approach to the production of corrosion-resistant conversion coatings using trivalent cobalt. This approach uses stabilizer materials which form compounds with trivalent cobalt that are sparingly soluble in aqueous solution, typically from about 5×10−2 to about 5×10−5 moles/liter of trivalent cobalt. This solubility range provides a release of trivalent cobalt at a rate sufficiently slow enough that protection will be provided for an extended period of time and fast enough to inhibit corrosion during conventional accelerated corrosion testing methods such as ASTM B-117 and ASTM G-85 for conversion coatings. Compounds that fall slightly outside of this solubility range (as high as 5×10−1 to as low as 1×10−5 moles/liter of trivalent cobalt at standard temperature and pressure) may also prove to be effective conversion coatings under certain conditions. However, compounds that exhibit aqueous solubilities far outside of the target range are unlikely to be effective corrosion inhibitors. The solubility of the formed trivalent cobalt compounds plays a significant role in the effectiveness of the formed coating. Solubility control can be achieved using organic or inorganic stabilizer materials.
In another aspect, the invention is the achievement of corrosion-resistant conversion coatings using trivalent cobalt. This approach also utilizes stabilizer materials, which form compounds that exhibit dipoles so as to form electrostatic barrier layers composed of ions, such as hydronium (H3O+) or hydroxide (OH−). The formation of these barrier layers through the use of stabilizer materials can be achieved using organic or inorganic materials.
In an optional aspect, the invention is the achievement of corrosion-resistant conversion coatings using trivalent cobalt by the use of stabilizer materials, which form compounds that exhibit ion exchange behavior towards alkali ions. The formation of this ion exchange behavior can be achieved through the use of organic or inorganic materials.
In another optional aspect, the invention is the achievement of corrosion-resistant conversion coatings using preparative agents in conjunction with the cobalt to strip uncontrolled native oxide layers on the work piece surface, as well as to control the rate of coating deposition. Typical preparative agents for the formation of trivalent cobalt conversion coatings are fluorides and fluorine-containing chemicals. Acidic species or other halides such as chlorides, bromides, and iodides can be used, but are less effective than fluorides as preparative agents.
In another optional aspect, the invention is the achievement of superior corrosion-resistant conversion coatings by allowing the deposited trivalent cobalt-containing coating to reach a desired thickness and/or morphology in order to maximize adhesion to the work piece, as well as maximizing adhesion of subsequently-applied paint films to the conversion coating. Ideally, the thickness of the formed trivalent cobalt conversion coating should be approximately 200 nanometers. The minimum thickness allowable for a satisfactory pinhole-free trivalent cobalt conversion coating is approximately 25 nanometers, and the maximum allowable thickness is approximately 10,000 nanometers. The morphology of the formed conversion coating should be sufficient to allow for paint films to adhere to it. A “mud crack” or “honeycomb” morphology is typical.
Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide non-toxic corrosion-protection conversion coating baths based on trivalent cobalt and methods of making and using the same. These and other objects and advantages of the present invention will become apparent from the following detailed description and claims.
A) Starting Materials
Five general starting materials can be used for the conversion coating baths of the present invention. These include: a cobalt source; an oxidation source (optional); a preparation agent source (optional); a valence stabilizer source; and additional solubility control agents (optional). These materials may be included as neat compounds in the conversion coating bath, or may be added to the conversion coating bath as already-prepared solutions. Further enhancements to the formed coating may be imparted through the use of additional starting materials. Foremost among these are agents to improve the color-fastness of the coating.
1) Cobalt Source
a) Trivalent Cobalt
The cobalt precursor compounds can be almost any cobalt compound in which the cobalt is in either the divalent or trivalent oxidation state. Water-soluble precursors are typically used. Examples of inorganic divalent cobalt precursor compounds include, but are not restricted to: cobalt nitrate, cobalt sulfate, cobalt perchlorate, cobalt chloride, cobalt fluoride, cobalt bromide, cobalt iodide, cobalt bromate, cobalt chlorate, and complex fluorides such as cobalt fluosilicate, cobalt fluotitanate, cobalt fluozirconate, cobalt fluoborate, and cobalt fluoaluminate. Examples of organometallic divalent cobalt precursor compounds include, but are not restricted to: cobalt formate, cobalt acetate, cobalt propionate, cobalt butyrate, cobalt benzoate, cobalt glycolate, cobalt lactate, cobalt tartronate, cobalt malate, cobalt tartrate, cobalt citrate, cobalt benzenesulfonate, cobalt thiocyanate, and cobalt acetylacetonate. Complex divalent cobalt precursor compounds include, but are not limited to, ammonium cobalt sulfate, ammonium cobalt nitrate, ammonium cobalt chloride, and ammonium cobalt bromide.
The cobalt precursor may also be a compound in which the cobalt is already in the trivalent oxidation state. Examples of these compounds include, but are not restricted to: hexaaminecobalt chloride, hexaaminecobalt bromide, hexaaminecobalt nitrate, pentaaminecobalt chloride, pentaaminecobalt bromide, pentaaminecobalt nitrate, lithium cobaltinitrite, sodium cobaltinitrite, tris(ethylenediamine)cobalt chloride, tris(ethylenediamine) cobalt nitrate, bipyridine complexes of trivalent cobalt, phenanthroline complexes of trivalent cobalt, cobalt (III) acetylacetonate, cobalticarbonates, cobalt (III) acetate, cobalt (III) chloride, and cobalt (III) sulfate.
While trivalent cobalt precursor compounds can be used, they are not recommended for the following reasons: 1) their cost is several orders of magnitude higher than divalent cobalt precursors; 2) in some instances (e.g., cobaltinitrite or cobalticarbonate compounds) they generate large quantities of gas (NO2 or CO2) when placed into acidic solutions; and 3) they lead to lower corrosion protection in the formed coatings because they are stabilized with additional materials to improve their solubility in water.
It may not be necessary to add a separate cobalt source for these conversion coating solutions if a cobalt-containing alloy is to be treated. The preparative agent contained within these conversion coating formulations can dissolve some of the cobalt in the substrate. This will result in divalent cobalt ions being present in the coating solution. A suitable oxidizer can then oxidize the divalent cobalt to the necessary trivalent oxidation state during or after coating deposition.
b) Tetravalent Cobalt
The tetravalent cobalt ion (Co+4) is an even better oxidizing species than Co+3. It has a radius of 0.053 nanometers, carries a charge of +4, and has a redox potential of over 2.0V. However, it has a correspondingly lower stability both in and out of solution. Therefore, valence stabilization of this ion is required in order to use it effectively in a conversion coating. Its very large redox potential makes it prone to rapid reduction, and few materials will effectively valence stabilize it in a sparingly soluble complex, which make its routine application problematic. Tetravalent cobalt can be made using chemical or electrolytic oxidation, as can trivalent cobalt.
The presence of both trivalent and tetravalent cobalt in these coatings can be determined by their magnetic behavior. A combination of Co+3 and Co+4 is reportedly paramagnetic. The difficulty of its formation or stabilization should not preclude the use of tetravalent cobalt in some conversion coatings. While it is not a typical species because of these difficulties, tetravalent cobalt can be incorporated either alone or in conjunction with trivalent cobalt by using tailored valence stabilizers.
2) Oxidation Source
Oxidizers serve two important functions within the coating: 1) they act in cooperation with the stabilizer to impede the flow of ionic species through the coating, therefore minimizing charge transport, and 2) if a scratch is formed in the coating, these oxidizing species act to repair the breach by oxidizing the metal in the presence of water, and quickly reforming an oxide barrier. The effectiveness of the oxidizing species is a function of its individual oxidation-reduction potential, with more highly oxidized species exhibiting greater corrosion protection.
In order to provide adequate oxidation potential in the conversion coating solution, especially if divalent cobalt compounds are utilized as precursors, an oxidizing species must also be included as a starting material. Additional amounts of oxidizer may be added to help control and maintain a desired amount of Co+3 in the conversion coating solution by reoxidizing Co+3 that has been reduced. Because of the high potential of the redox reaction required to oxidize divalent cobalt to trivalent (or tetravalent) cobalt, strong oxidizers must be utilized for this purpose. These oxidizers may be gaseous, liquid, or solid in form. Solid oxidizers are typically used for this application due to ease of handling and reagent measurement. Other starting materials (cobalt source, fluoride source, stabilizer source) will frequently also be solids. Liquid oxidizers may also be used, but handling and accurate process metering have proven difficult. Gaseous oxidizers may be the most cost effective and chemically efficient on a large scale, but are also the most problematic due to handling and venting concerns.
Examples of oxidizers suitable for the purpose of producing and maintaining the cobalt ion in the trivalent charge state include, but are not restricted to: peroxides and peroxo compounds (including superoxides, persulfates, perborates, pernitrates, perphosphates, percarbonates, persilicates, peraluminates, pertitanates, perzirconates, permolybdates, pertungstates, pervanadates, and organic peroxyacid derivatives), ozone, hypochlorites, chlorates, perchlorates, nitrates, nitrites, vanadates, iodates, hypobromites, chlorites, bromates, permanganates, periodates, and dissolved oxygen. Both inorganic and organic derivatives of these compounds may be used. Typical oxidizers are peroxides, persulfates, perbenzoates, periodates, bromates, hypochlorites, and gaseous dissolved oxygen, including the oxygen content of air. In general, any inorganic, organic, or combination species that has an oxidation potential of +1.5V or higher (at a pH of 1) will be capable of oxidizing divalent cobalt to the trivalent, or in some instances the tetravalent, oxidation state.
Oxidation of the cobalt to the trivalent state may also be achieved in the conversion coating solution through electrolytic means. In most instances, however, this approach may not be economically feasible due to the large energy costs associated with electrolytic oxidation. Chemical oxidation, such as that described above, currently offers the lowest-cost means to achieve oxidation of the cobalt to the trivalent state.
It is also possible to deposit divalent cobalt in a conversion coating, and then apply a second solution containing an oxidizer to oxidize divalent cobalt to trivalent cobalt. This, however, is less typical because the percentage of deposited cobalt that will be in the trivalent state will be less than if trivalent cobalt were deposited directly.
In the conversion coating solutions based on hexavalent chromium, oxidation sources are added to speed up the conversion coating process. Hence, they are termed “accelerators” in the hexavalent chromium formulations. Because the application of an acid (i.e., a conversion coating solution) to an electronegative metal will result in the formation of hydrogen gas, cathodic areas on the treated metal will be partially blocked from further coating formation. Oxidizers (“accelerators”) act to eliminate hydrogen gas formation, thereby minimizing its barrier effect, and hence accelerating the overall deposition rate. It is for this reason that it is also desirable to have oxidizers in the initial conversion coating bath.
3) Preparative Agent Source
Uniform, adherent, low-defect film growth can be achieved if the conversion coat is deposited on a suitably prepared surface. Removing pre-existing “wild” native oxides is the first step to achieve the formation of high-quality conversion coatings. A preparative agent is any material that removes (dissolves and breaks up) preexisting surface oxides and provides a bare metal surface on which to deposit the conversion coating. The hexavalent chromium formulations term these materials “activators” or “surface etchants.” The breakup and dissolution of the surface oxide in solution produces a bare unprotected metal suited for controlled oxidation, textures the surface, and encourages precipitation of the conversion coat compounds at the metal surface by locally raising the solution pH.
Fluoride acids and salts work especially well as preparative agents in conversion coating baths. The complex fluoride anions hexafluorozirconate (ZrF6−2) and hexafluorotitanate (TiF6−2) are superior fluoride sources for this application. Hexafluorosilicates (SiF6−2) can be used, but they result in a reduced level of subsequent corrosion protection. The potassium, lithium, sodium, and ammonium salts of these anions work especially well for this application, with potassium performing the best.
Other complex fluorides, including, but not restricted to, fluoroaluminates (e.g., AlF6−3 or AlF4−1), fluoroborates (e.g., BF4−1), fluorogallates (e.g., GaF4−1) fluoroindates (e.g., InF4−1), fluorogermanates (e.g., GeF6−2), fluorostannates (e.g., SnF6−2), fluorophosphates (e.g., PF6−1), fluoroarsenates (e.g., AsF6−1), fluoroantimonates (e.g., SbF6−−1), fluorobismuthates (e.g., BiF6−1), fluorosulfates (e.g., SF6−2), fluoroselenates (e.g., SeF6−2), fluorotellurates (e.g., TeF62 or TeOF5−1), fluorocuprates (e.g., CuF3−1 or CuF4−2), fluoroargentates (e.g., AgF3−1 or AgF4−2), fluorozincates (e.g., ZnF4−2), fluorohafnates (e.g., HfF6−2), fluorovanadates (e.g., VF7−2), fluoroniobates (e.g., NbF7−2), fluorotantalates (e.g., TaF7−2), fluoromolybdates (e.g., MoF6−3), fluorotungstates (e.g., WF6−1), fluoroyttrates (e.g., YF6−3), fluorolanthanates (e.g., LaF6 3), fluorocerates (e.g., CeF6 3 or CeF6−2), fluoromanganates (e.g., MnF6−2), fluoroferrates (e.g., FeF6−3), fluoronickelates (e.g., NiF6−2), and fluorocobaltates (e.g., CoF6−2) are also suitable fluoride sources, but these offer even less corrosion protection than hexafluorosilicates. Water-soluble potassium, sodium, lithium, or ammonium salts of these anions are typical.
Simple inorganic fluorides such as potassium fluoride (KF), potassium hydrogen fluoride (KHF2), sodium fluoride (NaF), sodium hydrogen fluoride (NaHF2), lithium fluoride (LiF), lithium hydrogen fluoride (LiHF2), ammonium fluoride (NH4F), ammonium hydrogen fluoride (NH4HF2), and even hydrofluoric acid solutions (HF) can also be used as a fluoride source. By analogy, organic compounds that provide a ready supply of aqueous fluoride ions will likewise serve as adequate fluoride sources.
Other halide species, such as chlorides (Cl−), bromides (Br−), and iodides (I−) can also function as preparative agents, although their efficiency in stripping the surface oxide will not be as great as the fluorides. Inorganic or organic compounds that release chloride, bromide, or iodide anions can function as preparative agents, as can a number of complex chlorides and bromides that are similar to those described for the fluorides. By analogy, complex hexachlorozirconates (ZrCl6−2), hexachlorotitanates (TiCl6−2), and hexachlorosilicates (SiCl6−2) should function better than other chloride sources, and analogous complex bromide and iodide sources will function better than other bromides and iodides.
Acidic species, such as nitric acid, sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid, pyrophosphoric acid, hydrochloric acid, perchloric acid, hydrobromic acid, hydriodic acid, iodic acid, periodic acid, disulfuric acid, selenic acid, telluric acid, polyphosphoric acid, cyclophosphoric acid, boric acid, vanadic acid, molybdic acid, tungstic acid, carboxylic acids, phosphonic acids, and sulfonic acids can also function as preparative agents. Of these, nitric acid is the most useful as a preparative agent.
Although it is less desirable, hydroxides can also function as preparative agents. For example, under high pH conditions zinc and aluminum are known to dissolve in water, through the formation of zincate or aluminate anions. The use of hydroxides such as sodium, potassium, lithium, or ammonium derivatives will result in this pH rise.
Changes in the concentrations of the fluoride components also had significant effects upon the character of the deposited coating. It was found that the corrosion resistance of the formed coating was reduced if the fluoride concentration in solution came near or exceeded its solubility in water. Craters form in the coating, apparently caused by excess back etching of deposited oxides. The concentration of fluoride also appears to influence the thickness of the formed coating. The substrate metal remains bright and shiny at very low fluoride concentrations. These effects were found to begin when the ratio of fluoride ions to cobalt ions in the coating solution dropped below 0.05.
Fluoride species with different alkali metals appeared to have negligible effect upon the coating or its corrosion resistance. The use of lithium did not result in any improvement in corrosion resistance. Changes in the fluoride's associated alkali metals (e.g., K2ZrF6, Na2ZrF6) did alter the solubility of fluoride in solution and so control the amount of fluoride available to etch the metal surface.
If a preparative agent is not included in the conversion coating bath, then the “wild” native oxides must be removed by some other process prior to the application of the conversion coating.
4) Valence Stabilizers
Corrosion resistance comparable to that of hexavalent chromium can be achieved by the use of valence stabilized trivalent or tetravalent cobalt ions in the conversion coating solutions. Valence stabilization has not been recognized previously as an important consideration in the development of effective corrosion inhibiting conversion coats. A variety of inorganic and organic stabilizers are available that can control such properties as solubility, mobility, ion exchange, and binder compatibility. The stabilizer complex can also act as an ion-exchange host and/or trap for alkali or halide ions in solution.
Cobalt is effective as an oxidation corrosion inhibitor if it can be supplied in sufficient quantities in the trivalent or tetravalent charge state when brought into contact with unprotected bare metal. The characteristics of the Co+3 ion which are relevant to its use in conversion coating applications include: 1) its valence is fairly stable in solution but is less stable on drying, 2) its compounds typically have large aqueous solubilities, 3) it is more stable in acidic or neutral pH aqueous solutions than in basic solutions, and 4) its radius of 0.061 nanometers is slightly larger than the 0.044 nanometers of the hexavalent chromium ion, and so it will have a correspondingly lower charge density (electrostatic field) per ion.
The need for “valence stabilization” of trivalent (or tetravalent) cobalt for corrosion inhibition has been indirectly noted in the general corrosion literature. Corrosion inhibition behavior of nitrogen-containing organics such as aniline or pyridine has been reported to be enhanced with the addition of cobalt. The exact nature of this “synergistic enhancement” has never been adequately explained. These “synergistic” mixtures of nitrogen-containing organics and cobalt have also been described as being “oxygen-scavengers”, and the organics are frequently observed to “chemisorb” onto the substrate piece being protected.
This enhancement can be explained by our “valence stabilization” model of corrosion inhibition by trivalent (or tetravalent) cobalt. Nitrogen-containing organics and cobalt result in the formation of an organometallic complex where the central cobalt ion can be stabilized in a higher oxidation state. The observed “oxygen-scavenging” phenomenon associated with dissolved oxygen in aqueous solutions is easily explained by the oxidation of stabilized divalent cobalt to the trivalent state. “Sparingly soluble” Co+3 complexes containing these organics are responsible for the corrosion-inhibiting activity, and these organics will appear to be “adsorbed” or “chemisorbed” from solution onto the metal piece being protected due to precipitation.
As noted in the Summary of the Invention, the valence stabilizer serves a number of important functions in the establishment of a successful conversion coating. First, the valence stabilizer, when used with trivalent cobalt, must result in a “sparingly soluble” Co+3-valence stabilizer complex. Although the exact solubility of this complex can be slightly modified through the incorporation of different cations or anions (either through the dissolution of the coated metal, or the subsequent treatment by additional solubility control agents), appreciable corrosion inhibition will be observed if the trivalent cobalt is incorporated in the conversion coating as a Co+3-stabilizer complex that exhibits a solubility in water of between about 5×10−5 moles per liter and about 5×10−2 moles per liter of available Co+3. Therefore, any material (inorganic or organic) in the coating bath which complexes with trivalent cobalt and results in the formation of a Co+3-containing complex which exhibits solubilities within or near this solubility range can serve as a valence stabilizer for trivalent cobalt.
Conversion coatings which incorporate stabilized trivalent cobalt compounds that fall outside this particular solubility range may exhibit some degree of corrosion inhibition and may be effective conversion coatings under certain circumstances. Although not as effective as those compounds within the optimum solubility range, compositions with solubilities as high as 5×10−1 moles per liter or as low as 1×10−5 moles per liter of trivalent cobalt, at standard temperature and pressure (about 25° C. and about 760 Torr), exhibited some corrosion resistance. For example, in situations where the substrate metal pieces are exposed to environments which require much more immediate corrosion exposure (e.g., sudden immersion in seawater), adequate corrosion protection can be achieved through the formation of a trivalent cobalt compound which exhibits a higher solubility in water (e.g., 5×10−1 to 5×10−3 moles/liter trivalent cobalt). In this way, a more “immediate” release of protective trivalent cobalt ions can be achieved, although the trivalent cobalt will be depleted faster from the coating. Trivalent cobalt solubilities that are lower than this optimum range (e.g., 1×10−5 to 1×10−3 moles/liter of trivalent cobalt) may be desirable for some situations (e.g., in nearly pure water with low aeration rates). However, compounds that exhibit solubilities far outside the target range are unlikely to be effective corrosion inhibitors.
The solubility characteristics of the trivalent cobalt in the conversion coatings must be controlled with stabilizer materials that form compounds within the desired solubility range. The exact solubility will be strongly dependent on the application of the conversion coating and net aqueous solubility of overlying paints and coatings. The formation of conversion coatings with the proper release rate of Co+3 ions is problematic because of the instability of Co+3 out of solution. Trivalent cobalt compounds, such as acetate, sulfate, acetylacetonate, and hexaamine chloride, are generally too soluble to serve as effective corrosion inhibitors if incorporated into a conversion coating. Oxides and hydroxides of Co+3 are much too insoluble in water to serve effectively as corrosion inhibitors in a conversion coating.
The key to providing a useful source of trivalent cobalt at a metal surface is the creation of a sparingly soluble compound in which the Co+3 ion is shielded from premature reduction during and after conversion coating formation. The assembly of a protective shell around the highly charged Co+3 and its associated oxygen and hydroxyl species can help control the rate at which the cobalt is reduced and its oxygen is released. Proper selection of materials for forming the protective shell will allow solubility tailoring of the entire assembly to its intended application environment. Valence stabilizers are materials that, when assembled, modify the rate of reduction and the solubility of the Co+3 ion.
The electrostatic character of the complex can also be considered in creating a Co+3 stabilizer complex with optimal corrosion resistance. Valence stabilizers can also contribute to the development of a substantial electrostatic double layer. An electrostatic double layer of polar or charged species such as hydronium (H3O+) or hydroxide (OH−) ions surrounding the stabilized cobalt complex will help control cobalt reduction and solubility and enhance the barrier properties of the conversion coating. Valence stabilizers which form sparingly soluble cobalt complexes with enhanced electrostatic double layers will maximize the corrosion-inhibiting character of the conversion coating.
The trivalent cobalt ion is slightly larger than the hexavalent chromium ion, with less charge density over the surface of the ion. Therefore, the valence stabilizers for Co+3 must be more efficient in the establishment of dipole moments than the ferricyanide ion so that comparable corrosion resistance can be achieved in relation to the state of the art Cr+6-ferricyanide compositions. Valence stabilizers which have a comparable dipole moment to ferricyanide, or which exhibit even less of a dipole moment than ferricyanide can also function as valence stabilizers, but the resultant corrosion resistance of the conversion coatings will, in all probability, be less than for the current commercial hexavalent chromium-based conversion coatings.
Large spheres of hydration around corrosion inhibitors can act as electrostatic and physical barriers to the passage of large corrosive ions such as Cl− and SO4−2 through the coating to the metal surface. The size of the electrostatic double layer is a function of the electrostatic potential at the complex surface and is inversely proportional to the ionic strength of the surrounding solution. Compounds that can carry a charge, have a natural electrostatic dipole, or can have a dipole induced, will likely form an electrostatic double layer in aqueous solution. However, these compounds do not normally act as corrosion inhibitors because they have not been optimized for that purpose.
Optionally, the incorporation of the valence stabilizer (inorganic or organic) should result in the formation of a Co+3-valence stabilizer compound which exhibits ion exchange behavior towards alkali ions. As noted in the Summary of the Invention, this is not a requirement of the Co+3-valence stabilizer complex, but it is a desirable characteristic for enhanced corrosion resistance. Some existing state of the art chromium systems exhibit this phenomena, but conversion coating compounds that do not exhibit this phenomena have been successfully demonstrated to inhibit corrosive attack.
Cobalt coordination chemistry, which has been the subject of numerous scientific studies for almost 100 years, identifies chemical binding preferences, structure stability, and physical properties of the resulting compounds. Producing effective Co+3-valence stabilizer complexes requires understanding the electrostatic and structural influence of candidate species on the complex. Stabilizers can be designed that result in cobalt compounds with the necessary physical, electrical, and chemical properties to form corrosion inhibitors with this information. Property tailoring can also take place through selection of specific anions or cations bound to the Co+3-valence stabilizer coordination complex.
The functional anatomy of inorganic stabilizers is simple because of the limited number of atoms and structural arrangements involved in their formation. The anatomy of organic stabilizers is not as simple. An organically stabilized cobalt complex may have one or more organic ligands that may have one or more bonding sites that can interact with the Co+3 ion/oxide cluster. The bonding groups can be the same or different atoms or functional groups on an individual or a variety of ligands. An organic stabilizer ligand can be modified in an unlimited number of ways to tailor its physical behavior with respect to such properties as chemical reactivity, solubility, electrostatic and polar character, and functional behavior.
The stability of the Co+3-valence stabilizer complex is strongly influenced by the charge, polarity sign, and degree of polarizability of specific binding sites. Factors influencing compound stability include: 1) ion-pair interactions for charged ligands and Co+3, 2) ion-dipole and ion-induced dipole interactions for neutral ligands, 3) hydrogen bonding, and 4) the hard-soft acid-base (HSAB) rules convention of coordination chemistry. HSAB rules help identify functional groups on ligands that might be effective as binding sites. Optimum binding for organic valence stabilizers to Co+3 will involve ligands with soft bonding species such as those that contain sulfur or phosphorus. Certain coordination complexes of the hard base nitrogen are also effective for binding with Co+3. HSAB rules can also help identify groups that might provide a degree of polarization to the stabilizer because of their large dipole moments.
The nature of bonding between the Co+3 ion/oxide cluster and the stabilizer ligand can be altered by using a substituent group to modify the stabilizer. Specific interactions between the ligand and Co+3 can be tailored by substituent group selection, coupled with altering the size or geometry of the complexing ligand. For example, some substituent groups have large dipole moments associated with them, which will increase the electrostatic barrier layers associated with the cobalt/valence stabilizer complexes. These include: ketones (═C═O), thioketones (═C═S), amides (—C[═O]—NR2), thioamides (—C[═S]—NR2), nitriles or cyano groups, (—CN), isocyanides (—NC), nitroso groups (—N═O), thionitroso groups (—N═S), nitro groups (—NO2), azido groups (—N3), cyanamide or cyanonitrene groups (═N—CN), cyanate groups (—O—CN), isocyanate groups (—N═C═O), thiocyanate groups (—S—CN), isothiocyanate groups (—N═C═S), nitrosamine groups (═N—N═O), thionitrosamine groups (═N—N═S), nitramine groups (═N—NO2), thionitramine groups (═N—NS2), carbonylnitrene groups (—CO—N), thiocarbonylnitrene groups (—CS—N), sulfenyl halides (—S-X), sulfoxides (═S═O), sulfones (═S[═O]2), sulfinyl groups (—N═S═O), thiosulfinyl groups (—N═S═S), sulfenyl thiocyanato groups (—S—S—CN), sulfenyl cyanato groups (—S—O—CN), sulfodiimine groups (═S[═NH]2), sulfur dihaloimido groups (—N═SX2), sulfur oxide dihaloimido groups (—N═S[═O]X2), aminosulfur oxide trihalide groups (═N—S[═O]X3), sulfonyl azide groups (—S[═O]2N3), sulfonyl thiocyanate groups (—S[═O]2SCN), sulfonyl cyanate groups (—S[═O]2OCN), sulfonyl cyanide groups (—S[═O]2CN), halosulfonate groups (—S[═O]2OX), phosphonyl thiocyanate groups (—P[═O]OHSCN), phosphonyl cyanate groups (—P[═O]OHOCN), and phosphonyl cyanide groups (—P[═O]OHCN). The polarization of the Co+3-stabilizer can therefore be optimized via evaluation of the effect of ligand type and substituents. The influence of the Co+3 ion on the aqueous solution outside of, or external to, the valence stabilizer shell (or hydration sphere) may play an important role in the complexation properties of a given ligand. It will also control the diameter of the hydration shell around the Co+3-stabilizer complex.
The number of binding sites available on the complexing ligand is important to the resulting Co+3-stabilizer's properties. Several ligands are required to stabilize Co+3 effectively if the chosen ligand has only one binding site. Six NH3 ligands are needed to octahedrally coordinate Co+3 in a hexaaminecobalt(III) complex because NH3 has only one binding site. Bulky ligands with only one binding site, like pyridine, can be sterically hindered from packing tightly around the ion, which will result in decreased complex stability. Conversely, macrocyclic organic and polymeric inorganic ligands may have many suitable binding sites. However, instability will result if a Co+3 ion is not completely embraced by all of the multiple macromolecular bonding sites on the ligand. For example, if a macromolecule surrounding the Co+3 ion has an insufficient number of binding sites available for charge balance, then the Co+3-stabilizer complex will be much less stable than with a macromolecule that contains an adequate number of sites.
The physical geometry of the binding sites is important to the stability of the Co+3-stabilizer complex. The influence of site geometry becomes evident when the solvation shell of a Co+3 ion is replaced by the ligand donor atoms as when conversion coatings are formed. The number of available ligand binding sites should be at least equal to the standard coordination number of the Co+3 ion. The balance between solvation of the ligand and Co+3 and their complexation where Co+3 is solvated by a specific ligand is critical in maintaining stability. Co+3-ligand attraction increases with the number of available binding sites on the ligand. However, with an increasing number of binding sites, site-site repulsions will also increase, resulting in lower stability.
The Co+3 ion generally favors complexation in the tetrahedral (coordination number 4) or octahedral (coordination number 6) arrangements. However, it will occasionally be found in a trigonal bipyramidal or square planar arrangement. Valence stabilizers (and stabilizer combinations) should be selected with the goal of achieving these coordinations.
Inorganic materials that tend to “polymerize” and form octahedra or tetrahedra (or a combination thereof) around ions such as Co+3 are termed isopolyanions, and their resultant complexes with Co+3 are termed heteropolyanions or heteropolymetallates. This polymerization of the inorganic valence stabilizer species results in stacks of octahedra or tetrahedra with central cavities which can accommodate at least one Co+3 ion, thereby stabilizing it.
Valence stabilizers and combinations of stabilizers can be manipulated by the selection of “shaping groups” and heteroatoms positioned at the binding site. Inorganic valence stabilizers are typically oxygen-containing coordination compounds. Saturated organic chains can form flexible ligands that wrap around Co+3 and can enhance its stability. Unsaturated organics typically have less freedom to bend and contort and are less likely to be able to wrap around the Co+3 ion. The addition of substituents onto an organic ligand may further restrict its freedom to flex.
The actual size of the valence stabilizer complex situated around the Co+3 ion has an important role in solubility control. Solubility of the complex scales roughly with the inverse of its physical diameter. Co+3 and its layer of negatively charged hydroxyl ions is very small and results in its high degree of aqueous solubility. The field strength of the complex also scales with the inverse of its physical diameter. Large complexes with an optimal degree of solubility will not necessarily be ideal with respect to the size of the electrostatic double layer. The size of the ligand must, therefore, be balanced against the desired electrical properties.
The addition (or subtraction) of functional groups on organic valence stabilizers can be used to modify the solubility of the formed Co+3/valence stabilizer species. For example, the addition of sulfonated groups (—SO3−) to organic valence stabilizers will significantly increase the solubility in water. Other substituent groups that will increase the solubility in water include: carboxyl groups (—CO2—), hydroxyl groups (—OH), ester groups (—CO3−), carbonyl groups (═C═O), amine groups (—NH2), nitrosamine groups (═N—N═O), carbonylnitrene groups (—CO—N), sulfoxide groups (═S═O), sulfone groups (═S[═O]2), sulfinyl groups (—N═S═O), sulfodiimines (═S[═NH]2), sulfonyl halide groups (—S[═O]2X), sulfonamide groups (—S[═O]2NH2), monohalosulfonamide groups (—S[═O]2NHX), dihalosulfonamide groups (—S [═O]2MX2), halosulfonate groups (—S [═O]2OX), halosulfonate amide groups (═N—S[═O]2X), aminosulfonate groups (═N—S[═O ]2OH), iminodisulfonate groups (—N[SO3−]2), phosphonate groups (—PO3−2), phosphonamide groups (—PO2NH2—), phosphondiamide groups (—PO[NH2]2), aminophosphonate groups (═N—PO3−2), and iminodiphosphonate groups (—N[PO3−2]2). Conversely, the addition of nitro groups (—NO2), perfluoroalkyl groups (—CxF2x+1), perchloroalkyl groups (—CxCl2+1), nitramine groups (═N—NO2), thioketone groups (═C═S), sulfenyl halide groups (—S-X), or sulfur dihaloimide groups (—N═SX2) to organic valence stabilizers will decrease the solubility in water. In this way, the solubility characteristics of valence stabilizers can be tailored to meet specific needs.
The physical, chemical, and electrostatic-requirements for the design of effective Co+-stabilizer complexes results in lists of stabilizers that may be divided into wide band or narrow band stabilizer classes. The compounds listed here are general guides for the initial selection of a coordination compound and do not represent a complete or final list. New organic and inorganic compounds are continuously being developed, compound toxicity limits can change, and some currently available compounds may have been overlooked. Tailoring substituent groups and the selection of cations or anions for charge balance can influence whether a particular Co+3-stabilizer complex will have a wide band or narrow band character.
Valence stabilizers for trivalent cobalt that embody the desirable characteristics of stabilizers as described above are typical when designing a conversion coating for maximum effectiveness. These “wide band” stabilizers result in the formation of compounds that provide significant corrosion resistance when used with trivalent cobalt. “Narrow band” valence stabilizers result in satisfactory conversion coatings only under limited applications. Wide band conversion coatings for general purpose applications and narrow band conversion coatings for specific uses have been identified and developed. In general, valence stabilizers that form cobalt complexes which exhibit the necessary physical properties of stability, solubility, and polarization may be achieved with both inorganic and organic valence stabilizers. Ion exchange behavior can also be achieved with both inorganic and organic coordination compounds.
4a) Wide Band Inorganic Valence Stabilizers
Wide band inorganic stabilizers are formed around the Co+3 ion by polymerizing in the conversion coating solution near the metal surface being treated. Acidic coating solutions can become basic near the metal surface where precipitation of the cobalt-stabilizer complex occurs during the coating process. Inorganic wide band valence stabilizers for Co+3 include, but are not limited to: molybdates (Mo+6, Mo+5, or Mo+4, for example [Co+3Mo6O18(OH)6]3−and [Co+32Mo10O34(OH)4]6−), tungstates (W+6, W+5, or W+4, for example [Co+3W12O40]5−), vanadates (V+5 and V+4, for example [Co+3V10O28]3 −), niobates (Nb+5 and Nb+4, for example [Co+3Nb4O12(OH)2]3−), tantalates (Ta+5 and Ta+4, for example [Co+3Ta4O12(OH)2]3−), tellurates (Te+6 and Te+4), periodates (I+7), iodates (I+5, for example [Co+3(IO3)4]1 −), carbonates (C+4, for example [Co+3(CO3)3]3−), antimonates (Sb+5 and Sb+3), and stannates (Sn+4). Many of these inorganics form octahedral and tetrahedral heteropolymetallate structures on precipitation from solution. For example, tellurate ions begin to polymerize in solution near pH 5 and will complex with Co+3 ions near the metal substrate as solution pH increases. The exact chemical nature of these valence stabilizers (i.e., chemical formulation and valence state of the atom in the center of the tetrahedra or octahedra) is highly dependent upon the specific pH and redox conditions.
The stability of the heteropolymetallates is a function of composition and structure. The relatively unstable Co+3 ion is protected and stabilized within the surrounding octahedral and tetrahedral groups, although specific configurations of the heteropolymetallate anions differ from stabilizer to stabilizer (i.e., from molybdate to periodate to carbonate).
The dimensions of the octahedra and tetrahedra are controlled by the size of the heteroatom (e.g., Mo, W, Te) around which they are assembled. A Co+3 ion trapped by the precipitation of these heteropolymetallates and its resulting “ion within a cage” structure can exhibit an even greater apparent volume due to the development of a large electrostatic double layer. This will influence both the valence stabilization of the Co+3 as well as the solubility of the assembled complex. These compounds are also reported to be excellent ion exchange agents for alkali ions.
This caging structure serves to lower the solubility of the Co+3 because the chemical elements typically associated with these valence stabilizers (e.g., I, Te, Mo, W) are all inherently less soluble in water than Co+3. These materials can also establish oriented dipoles with the interior Co+3 ion, thereby forming the desired barrier layers (e.g., of hydronium ions), much as ferricyanide or molybdate probably contributes to the hexavalent chrome systems. Finally, the elements associated with these valence stabilizers themselves can contain high valence ions, such as V+5, Te+6, or Mo+6, which will also serve somewhat in corrosion protection, although not to the degree of Co+3, due to their lower redox potential.
Water-soluble precursors for the formation of these valence stabilizers are desirable in order to ensure that sufficient material is available for coating deposition from aqueous solutions. Identification of suitable water-soluble precursors may be difficult, since many of the elements associated with these valence stabilizers (e.g., Mo, W, Te, etc.) do not typically form water-soluble compounds (hence their beneficial use as a valence stabilizer). Representative examples of suitable precursors for “wide band” inorganic valence stabilizers are listed in Table 6.
The solubilities given in Table 6 are usually for the simplest salts of each compound. More complex, partially “polymerized” salts for each compound (e.g., para- or meta-polymorphs) can also be used as precursors, although these polymorphs typically exhibit slightly lower solubilities in water than the simple salts. Peroxo-salts of these compounds, especially percarbonates, permolybdates, pertungstates, pertitanates, and pervanadates can also be utilized as precursors. Formation of the chosen heteropolymetallates from precursors such as the fluorides, chlorides, bromides, nitrates, and perchlorates (e.g., SnCl4 to form heterostannates, and SbF5 to form heteroantimonates) proved to be difficult, but may be acceptable under certain circumstances.
Co+3 stabilized with a heteropolymolybdate complex is an example of a wide band inorganically stabilized cobalt complex. This complex is very stable and provides significant corrosion protection when it is used as a conversion coating. The size of the cavity developed at the center of a ligand with three or more bonding sites is important. A cavity that is too large or too small will tend to be less stable and less effective in use as a corrosion inhibitor.
The valence stabilizer can be a cross between two or more of the wide-band inorganic valence stabilizers listed above. For example, in some instances it may be desirable to form a valence stabilizer out of a periodate and a molybdate. During the coating process, both of these materials will polymerize to form a mixed periodate/molybdate valence stabilizer out of the conversion coating solution.
4b) Wide Band Organic Valence Stabilizers
A variety of organic compounds meet the criteria to be typical valence stabilizers for Co+3. These coordination ligands produce Co+3 valence stabilized complexes which fulfill the general requirements of a Co+3 conversion coating material. Organic compounds can be very effective cobalt stabilizers and provide the greatest degree of freedom in designing new stabilizer species with new functionalities. There are many more possible organic valence stabilizer species than inorganic valence stabilizers because of the large number of organic compounds and functionalities which exist. Some of the typical organic valence stabilizer species are listed in Table 1 below.
The number of wide band (and narrow band) organic compounds that are acceptable as valence stabilizers for trivalent cobalt is limited. Common organic compounds such as alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, esters, ethers, alkyl or aromatic halides, most carboxylic acids, anhydrides, phenols, sulfonic acids, phosphonic acids, carbohydrates, waxes, fats, sugars, and oils are not as effective as the structural types described in these Tables to stabilize the trivalent cobalt ion. At best, some of the organic types described in these Tables may presently be used for other industrial applications, but their incorporation into corrosion-inhibiting blends to stabilize trivalent cobalt has heretofore been unrecognized.
The choice of substituent functional groups on these general classes of valence stabilizers will affect the physicochemical properties of the Co+3-containing complex and the corrosion resistance achieved using that complex. For example, the addition of —NH2, or 0 substituents increases the net polarization of the overall Co+3-valence stabilizer complex, but this will also increase its water solubility. Careful molecular design of Co+3 complexes is necessary to achieve desired performance characteristics.
In general, the bonding atoms in typical organic valence stabilizers are nitrogen, phosphorus, or sulfur, with oxygen being acceptable in some circumstances. Oxygen is complexed with Co+3 most frequently in association with at least one of the other three. Bonding atoms such as carbon, silicon, tin, arsenic, selenium, and antimony are much less desirable due to problems with valence stability, toxicity, or solubility. Other stable coordinations (like octahedral) are known, even though these particular agents are shown in tetrahedral coordination with Co+3. These valence stabilizers all serve to stabilize the Co+3 ion within a sparingly soluble complex that can exhibit a polar character in aqueous solution.

Water-soluble precursors for the organic valence stabilizers are typically used to ensure that sufficient material is available for coating deposition from aqueous solutions. Identification of suitable water soluble precursors can be difficult because many of these organics do not form a wide range of water-soluble compounds.
As with the inorganic valence stabilizers, crosses between two or more organic valence stabilizers can be used to stabilize Co+3 for corrosion protection. For example, in some instances it may be desirable to form a valence stabilizer out of a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic and an amine ligand. Both of these materials can complex to form a mixed nitrogen heterocyclic/amine valence stabilizer out of the conversion coating solution during the coating process.
4c) Narrow Band Inorganic Valence Stabilizers
Narrow band valence stabilizers can be used to stabilize Co+3 for corrosion protection, but they are less typical. Narrow band valence stabilizers exhibit some limitation in their use when compared to wide band stabilizers. They may be toxic or may complex Co+3 only with difficulty. These narrow band stabilizers include, but are not limited to, bismuthates, germanates, arsenates, litanates, zirconates, and hafnates. For example, valence stabilizers using arsenate are less desirable because their inherent toxicity is very large (greater than hexavalent chromium), although they may be very effective at inhibiting corrosion when used with Co+3. Arsenates can be used as valence stabilizers for Co+3 when the toxicity of the coating solution is not a factor in its use.
Other narrow band stabilizers may result in Co+3-stabilizer complexes with limited stability, an undesirable solubility range, or limited electrostatic characteristics, and they would be useful only in limited applications. Formation of a protective shell of octahedra or tetrahedra with phosphates (P+5), borates (B+3), aluminates (Al+3), and silicates (Si+4) around the Co+3 ion is difficult but possible. These compounds are known to form octahedra or tetrahedra, but tend to polymerize in chain-like structures when precipitated from aqueous solution under ambient conditions. These and other narrow band stabilizers can provide some degree of corrosion protection when complexed with Co+3, but will not necessarily perform with the same efficiency as the wide band stabilizers by themselves. Combinations of these materials, such as phosphosilicates, aluminosilicates, or borosilicates may also function as narrow band inorganic valence stabilizers.
Narrow band inorganic stabilizers used in combination with wide band inorganic stabilizers described above can be used to provide significant corrosion protection. Conversely, modifications of wide band inorganic valence stabilizers can result in a complex with reduced corrosion inhibition. For example, heteropolymetallates can contain ions in addition to the desired Co+3 ion.
The central cavity of the heteropolymetallates can contain ions in addition to the desired Co+3 ion. For example, the use of silicomolybdates, phosphomolybdates, silicotungstates, and phosphotungstates is possible. In these Co+3-valence stabilizer complexes, Si+4 or p+5 ions also occupy the central cavity of the complex with the Co+3 ion. The inclusion of additional ions in the central cavity reduces the stability of the complex, and thereby leads to lower corrosion protection. Nonetheless, these complexes also demonstrated some corrosion inhibiting activity.
The additional ions that can be included within the central cavity of the heteropolymetallates described above depend upon the size of the central cavity, which in turn depends upon the specific chemistry exhibited by an inorganic valence stabilizer (e.g., molybdate, tungstate, periodate, carbonate, etc.). In general, these additional ions must also be small so as to ensure the stability of the formed Co+3-valence stabilized complex. Examples of small additional ions include, but are not limited to: B+3, Al+3, Si+4, p+5, Ti+4, V+5, V+4, Cr+6, Cr+4, Cr+3, Mn+4, Mn+3, Mn+2, Fe+3, Fe+2, Co+2 Ni+2 Ni+4, Cu+2, Cu+3, Zn+2, Ga+3, Ge+4, As, As+3, Zr, and Ce+4.
Water-soluble precursors for these materials are desirable. Typically, the free acids (e.g., silicomolybdic acid, phosphotungstic acid, borotungstic acid, etc.) offer the most water-soluble precursors for these materials.

As discussed above, the properties of a particular Co+3-containing complex can be altered by changing the substituent groups on these general classes of valence stabilizers. This can influence the effectiveness of corrosion inhibition normally achieved using that specific complex.
4e) Mixed Inorganic/Organic Valence Stabilizers
Mixing inorganic and organic valence stabilizers in a conversion coating solution will often result in a coating with poor corrosion inhibiting properties because of cross interference. Inorganic and organic stabilizers interact with Co+3 in different ways. For example, inorganic valence stabilizers will perform their function by forming a shell of octahedrally or tetrahedrally coordinated anionic species around a captured Co+3 ion. Therefore, the net charge of these inorganic Co+3-stabilizer complexes is always negative. Organic species stabilize by the formation of a “soft bond” between the bonding atom in the stabilizer (e.g., nitrogen or sulfur) and the Co+3 ion. The net charge of these complexes is usually positive. If these two very different types of stabilization ligands are combined, then the magnitude of the charge on the stabilized complex can be reduced significantly. The performance of organic or inorganic stabilized corrosion inhibitor complexes has been found to be directly related to the ability of the complex to form and sustain a thick electrostatic barrier layer. Additionally, a mixed stabilizer can have a poorly developed electrostatic field and a non-optimal packing around the Co+3 ion, resulting in a complex with less resistance to aqueous attack. Mixed organic/inorganic stabilized Co+3 coatings will generally perform more poorly than coatings that have exclusively organic or inorganic valence stabilizers for this reason.
4f) Valence Stabilizers for Tetravalent Cobalt
The Co+4 ion forms very few stable complexes with organic compounds, and no currently known inorganically stabilized complexes. Co+4 may be used in broader applications in the future with compounds not currently identified. Examples of typical organic ligands for Co+4 include dithiocarbamates, dithiolenes, dithiols, dithioketones, norbornyls, biguamides, azo oximes (including hydrazone oximes), some Schiff Bases, and some azo compounds.
5) Additional Solubility Control Agents
One of the roles of the valence stabilizer is to allow for the formation of a trivalent cobalt complex that has a specific solubility range. The anions or cations present in the coating solution maybe sufficient to form a Co 3-containing compound within the conversion coating that exhibits the desired solubility characteristics. However, additional solubility control may be desirable to optimize the performance of the trivalent cobalt-valence stabilizer complex. The use of an additional solubility control agent is optional, not required.
Both the organic and inorganic valence stabilizers described above may need some kind of additional solubility control that can be in the form of either inorganic or organic compounds. The key to selecting solubility control agents is to match the cationic or anionic modifiers with individual Co+3-valence stabilizer combinations. Some cations or anions may work to optimize one Co+3-valence stabilizer complex, but this does not necessarily mean they will optimize the solubility of a different complex.
The initial formation of a conversion coating may produce Co43 compounds with solubilities greater than optimal. A post-deposition treatment can be applied to the coating as a remedial treatment or as a desired process step. Additional solubility control agents applied to a work piece can enhance the Co+3 content of the coating by forming more insoluble compounds in place. Application of a second solution after the conversion coating process has been found to result in enhanced solubility control of Co+3 in the conversion coating.
Additional solubility control agents are typically applied as a second solution. Otherwise, these cations or anions would begin to precipitate cobalt-containing compounds in the conversion coating solution, depleting it of cobalt prior to treating the work piece. In general, fine tuning of solubilityby cationic species is typical for Co+3-stabilizer combinations when an inorganic valence stabilizer is used, and by anionic species when an organic valence stabilizer is used.
The need for an additional solubility control agent may be illustrated for the situation where molybdate is used as a valence stabilizer for a Co+3 conversion coating. Cationic species are necessary to deposit a Co+3/molybdate complex within the coating (the net charge on a Co+3/heteropolymolybdate anion may either be −3 or −6). The cationic species needed to balance the charge and form a compound is usually supplied from cations already present in the conversion coating solution and/or by cations being pulled into the solution from the work piece. However, if the Co+3/molybdate complex composed of the available cations has a much greater solubility than desired, then additional solubility control agents will be required. The differences in effectiveness of conversion coatings on various alloy compositions is likely a reflection of the influence that the composition of the alloy itselfhas on the solubility of the deposited conversion coating. Similarly, anions present in a conversion coating solution or source material will be incorporated in a Co+3 compound that requires a negative charge balance. This is frequently observed with Co+3/organic valence stabilizer combinations.
Additional solubility control can be achieved through the use ofnon-toxic inorganic cations which include, but are not limited to: H+, Li+, Na+, K+, Rb+, Cs+, NH4+, Mg+2, Ca+2, Sr+2, Y+3, La+3, Ce+3, Ce+4, Nd+3, Pr+3, Sc+3, Sm+3, Eu+3, Eu+2, Gd+3, Tb+3, Dy+3, Ho+3, Er+3, Tm+3, Yb+3, Lu+3, Ti+4, Zr+4, Ti+3, Hf+4, Nb+4, Ta+4, Nb+4, Ta+4, Mo+6, W+6, Mo+5, W+5, Mo+4, W+4, Mn+2, Mn+3, Mn+4 Fe+2, Fe+3, Co+2, Co+3, Ru+2, Ru+3, Ru+4, Rh+4, Ir+3, Rh+2, Ir+2, Pd+4, Pt+4, Pd+2, Pt+2, Cu+, Cu+2, Cu+3, Ag+, Ag+2, Ag+3, Au+, Au+2, Au+3, Zn+2, Al+3, Ga+3, Ga+, In+3, In+, Ge+4, Ge+2, Sn+2, Sn+4, Sb+3, Sb+5, Bi+3, and Bi+5. Any water-soluble compound that contains these cations can be used for this purpose. Nitrates, chlorides, bromides, and perchlorates of these cations offer inexpensive water-soluble precursors, although many other water-soluble precursors exist.
Cationic solubility control may also be achieved through the use ofnontoxic organic cations that include, but are not limited to: quaternary ammonium compounds (NR4+, where R can be any combination of alkyl, aromatic, or acyclic organic substituents, such as the methyltriethylammonium ion); organics that contain at least one N+site (such as pyridinium or thiazolium cations); organics that contain at least one phosphonium site (P+, such as the benzyltriphenylphosphonium ion); organics that contain at least one stibonium site (Sb+, such as the tetraphenylstibonium ion); organics that contain at least one oxonium site (O+, such as pyrylium cations); organics that contain at least one sulfonium site (S+, such as the triphenylsulfonium ion); and organics that contain at least one iodonium site (I+, such as the diphenyliodonium ion).
The quaternary ammonium compounds, organics containing at least one N+ site, and organics containing at least one oxonium site are the most important of these classifications because of the very large number of stable cations that are available. Water-soluble precursors for these organic cations are desirable in order to maximize the amount of material available in the appropriate conversion coating solution. Fluorides, chlorides, and bromides offer the most water-soluble precursors for these organic cations, although lower molecular weight nitrates and perchlorates of these cations (e.g., tetramethylammonium) are also acceptable water-soluble precursors. Larger molecular weight nitrates and perchlorates are not generally acceptable as precursors because of their low water solubility.
Although it is less desirable, toxic inorganic or organic cations can be used as additional solubility control agents. Examples oftoxic inorganic cations that can be used include, but are not limited to: Be+2, Ba+2, V+5, V+4, V+3, Cr+3, Ni+2, Ni+4, Os+4, Cd+2, Hg+1, Hg+2, Tl+, Tl+3, As+3, As+5 Pb+2, and Pb+4. Examples of toxic organic cations include, but are not limited to: organic compounds that contain at least one arsonium site (As+, an example being the tetraphenylarsonium ion) and organic compounds that contain at least one selenonium site (Se, an example being the triphenylselenonium ion). Use of these materials for additional solubility control may be desirable in some specific instances where the toxicity of the coating baths is of limited importance to the operator. Water-soluble precursors for these toxic cations are desirable in order to maximize the amount of available cation for solubility control. In general, the nitrates, fluorides, chlorides, bromides, and perchlorates of these cations offer the highest water solubility.
Additional solubility control can also be achieved through the use of nontoxic inorganic anions, especially for Co+3/organic valence stabilizer combinations. Water-soluble precursors for these inorganic anions are desirable in order to maximize the amount of material available in the appropriate conversion coating solution. These include, but are not limited to: fluorotitanates, chlorotitanates, fluorozirconates, chlorozirconates, fluoroniobates, chloroniobates, fluorotantalates, chlorotantalates, molybdates, tungstates, permanganates, fluoromanganates, chloromanganates, fluoroferrates, chloroferrates, fluorocobaltates, chlorocobaltates, fluorozincates, chlorozincates, borates, fluoroborates, fluoroaluminates, chloroaluminates, carbonates, silicates, fluorosilicates, fluorostannates, nitrates, nitrites, azides, phosphates, phosphites, phosphonates, phosphinites, thiophosphates, thiophosphites, thiophosphonates, thiophosphinites, fluorophosphates, fluoroantimonates, chloroantimonates, sulfates, sulfites, sulfonates, thiosulfates, dithionites, dithionates, fluorosulfates, tellurates, fluorides, chlorides, chlorates, perchlorates, bromides, bromates, iodides, iodates, periodates, and heteropolyanions (e.g., heteropolymolybdates, silicomolybdates).
Additional solubility control can also be achieved through the use of an almost unlimited number of non-toxic organic anions (e.g., organics with different carboxylates or acid groups).

Water-soluble precursors for these anions are desirable in order to maximize the amount of available anion to interact with the Co+3 complex. The alkali or ammonium species of these anions typically offer the greatest water solubility.
6) Agents to Increase Color-Fastness of Coating
Conversion coatings will frequently be colored to improve the aesthetic nature of the work piece, as well as to aid in the identification of coated versus uncoated areas. Long-term exposure to high energy wavelengths (i.e., the ultraviolet wavelengths of sunlight) may fade or dim the color of the coated work piece. The conversion coating solution may include agents that improve the color-fastness of the coating. Typically, these are termed “UV blockers” in the paint and coatings literature. Active UV blockers are typically dark in color and function by absorbing nearly all of the light energy. Passive UV blockers are light in color and function by reflecting back nearly all of the light energy. Examples of active UV blockers include carbon black, graphite and phthalocyanines. Examples of passive UV blockers include titanium oxide, tin oxide, silicon oxide, silicates, or aluminosilicates.
B. Solution Composition and Preparation
Additional important process considerations include chemical concentrations, pH of the coating solution, redox potential of the coating solution, application temperature, and contact time.
1) Solvents
Water is a typical solvent for these conversion coating solutions due to its availability and low cost. Other solvents or combinations of water with other solvents (such as alcohols, ketones, etc.) may also be used if desired. However, these processes will be more costly than those using water exclusively.
2) Cobalt Concentration
The maximum concentration of the cobalt source depends upon the solubility of the specific cobalt source used. Any concentration exceeding this precursor solubility will result in undissolved solid material that will not be incorporated into the conversion coating and may even act as flaws in the coating. The ambient temperature processes outlined here produce Co+3 conversion coatings with exceptional corrosion inhibiting character. Therefore, the solubility of the cobalt sources in water at or near ambient temperature (25° C.) should be the maximum amount of the cobalt source that is added. Since the solubility of virtually all materials in water increases with temperature, more cobalt can be added to the conversion coating solution if the temperature of the bath is increased from ambient. Although higher temperatures lead to higher allowable concentrations of cobalt precursors, this is unnecessary and adds to the cost of the process.
Acidic pHs will typically increase the solubility of many inorganic materials, thereby increasing the concentration of cobalt available in solution. A general estimate of the maximum concentration of cobalt in the conversion coating solution at ambient conditions can be determined from the solubilities of some of the more desirable cobalt sources as listed in Table 3.

The depletion of cobalt from the coating solution below an acceptable level is a function of the amount of metal surface area being coated prior to regeneration of the solution. A coating applied to a very large surface area may deplete the solution to the point that subsequent solution applications no longer form effective coatings. Less cobalt will be removed from the conversion coating solution when treating a smaller surface area of metal, so more work pieces can be coated from the same solution.
The corrosion-inhibiting cobalt compounds formed on the surface of the metal exhibit solubilities ranging from approximately 5×10−2 to 5×10−5 moles/liter of cobalt in water. Coating solutions with cobalt concentrations much less than these concentrations may: 1) withdraw cobalt from the formed coating in order to attempt to reach an equilibrium, or 2) may produce an incomplete, poorly formed oxide film. Intentionally exhausted (depleted) conversion coating solutions have been observed to degrade a coated surface and return cobalt to the coating solution. The lowest concentration of cobalt in the precursor conversion coating bath from which some resultant corrosion inhibition will be exhibited is probably in the range of 1×10−3 to 1×10−4 moles/liter of cobalt. We used cobalt concentrations of approximately 1×10−1 mole/liter of cobalt with excellent results.
3) Oxidizer Concentration
The concentration of the oxidizer source can range up to the maximum solubility of the specific oxidizer source used. Any concentration exceeding this solubility will result in undissolved solid material that will not be available to raise the redox potential of the conversion coating solution. This process is designed to operate at ambient temperatures, so the maximum concentration of oxidizer source should be restricted to its maximum solubility in water at or near ambient temperature (25° C.). As discussed above, more oxidizer can be added to the conversion coating solution ifthe temperature of the bath is increased from ambient. Higher temperatures may lead to higher allowable concentrations of oxidizer precursors, but this is unnecessary and undesirable in light of process economics. Table 4 shows the solubilities in water of some of the more desirable oxidizer sources.

Low oxidizer concentrations may not oxidize a sufficient quantity of cobalt from the divalent state to the trivalent state. This would result in reduced corrosion inhibiting performance. The net redox potential of the coating solution is also a function of the surface area of the metal that has been coated. The redox potential decreases over time (e.g., several days), so these solutions require additions of oxidizer to maintain the redox potential.
4) Preparative Agent Concentration
The concentration of the preparative agent is desirable for the conversion coating process. Cratering of the coated metal surface has been found when the solution concentration of the preparative agent exceeds (or even approaches) the solubility of the precursor material. This cratering results in coatings with reduced corrosion resistance Solubility values for many fluorides (a typical preparative agent) are given in Table 5. The added concentrations should not exceed (or come close to) these values. Of course, variations in the solution temperature and pH will change the solubilities of each of these preparative agents, but the values given below can be used as general approximations.

The concentration of preparative agent must be sufficient to treat the selected surface because the preparative agent initiates the entire coating process. Low fluoride ion concentrations result in thin coatings that do not exhibit an acceptable degree of corrosion inhibition. The substrate metal remains smooth and bright, and no visible coating action takes place at very low fluoride ion concentrations. These effects were found to begin when the ratio of fluoride ions to cobalt ions in the coating solution falls below a ratio of 0.05. Therefore, the minimum recommended fluoride-to-cobalt ratio is 0.05.
5) Valence Stabilizer Concentration
The concentration of the valence stabilizer can be any concentration up to the maximum solubility of the specific valence stabilizer source used. Any concentration exceeding this solubility will result in undissolved solid material that will not be available for stabilizing the desired trivalent cobalt ions. Since this process was developed to operate at ambient temperature, the concentration of valence stabilizer source should be restricted to its maximum solubility in water at or near ambient temperature (25° C.). Higher temperatures may allow more valence stabilizer to be added to the conversion coating solution, but this is unnecessary and adds additional cost to the process. Table 6 shows the aqueous solubilities of some of the more desirable sources for wide band (typical) inorganic valence stabilizers, and Table 7 shows the aqueous solubilities of some sources for narrow band (less typical) inorganic valence stabilizers.

The number of complexing octahedra or tetrahedra around the central Co+3 ion varies from species to species (e.g., molybdates vs. tungstates). Varying the concentration of the complexing agent while keeping the Co+3 concentration constant resulted in clear differences in corrosion protection. The degree of corrosion protection was found to fall off dramatically below a valence stabilizer-to-cobalt ratio of about 0.01. Therefore, the minimum recommended valence stabilizer-to-cobalt ratio is 0.010, with ratios higher than 0.015 being typical.
The maximum concentration of organic valence stabilizers is dependent upon the precursor solubility. Because of the very large number of potential organic valence stabilizers, precursor solubilities are not shown. The minimum concentration of valence stabilizer is dependent upon the specific Co+3-valence stabilizer complex being formed within the conversion coating. The solubility and maximum solution concentration of these materials also increases with temperature, but this increased temperature is unnecessary to produce an effective coating.
6) Solubility Control Agent Concentration
The concentration of the optional solubility control agent can be any concentration up to its maximum solubility under ambient conditions. Exceeding the solubility will result in undissolved solid material that will not be available for adjusting the solubility of the cobalt-stabilizer complex. The solubilities of potential solubility control agents are not shown because of the large number of cationic or anionic species which can be used. Standard values for the solubilities of these materials in water can be used as the maximum allowable concentrations in the prepared solutions.
7) Coating Solution pH
The conversion coating solution should have an acidic or neutral pH so that a rise in pH caused by oxide and metal dissolution from the work surface will result in a rise in local pH and the precipitation of the desired conversion coating materials. Solution pH must not be so low that the pH rise during the conversion coating process is insufficient to result in coating precipitation. Very low pH values in the conversion coating solutions may also lead to excessive substrate metal loss and possible hydrogen embrittlement of the work piece.
The maximum practical pH of the conversion coating solution is about 7 and the lowest practical pH is 0 for trivalent (or tetravalent) cobalt coating application. Optimally, however, the pH should not be higher than 6 or less than 1 or 2. The pH of the trivalent cobalt conversion coating solutions should be checked periodically to confirm that it falls within operational parameters. Separate solutions that contain either valence stabilizers or optional solubility control agents generally do not require careful pH control.
8) Redox Potential of the Coating Solution
The necessary redox potential of the conversion coating solution is a function of both the solution pH and the cobalt concentration. Approximate values for the necessary redox potential of the solution can be derived from the Pourbaix stability diagram for cobalt. These values are shown in Table 8. Trivalent cobalt may be produced in solution at slightly lower redox values than those in Table 8 if the cobalt is already complexed with suitable valence stabilizers. In rare instances, some tetravalent cobalt may also be formed in the coating, provided that the redox potential is sufficiently high, and that the optimum valence stabilizer for Co+4 is used.
These redox potentials can be achieved through chemical (or electrochemical) means. The redox potential of the conversion coating solution will slowly drop over a period of several days. It should be brought back up to those values shown in Table 8 when this happens. Periodic evaluation pf the redox potential of these solutions can be performed using ASTM D-1498 (Oxidation-Reduction Potential of water) or comparable test procedures. Post-treatment solutions that contain valence stabilizers or optional additional solubility control agents generally do not require control of the redox potential. 9) Application Temperature
The recommended application temperature range of the conversion coating solution is between 5 and 40° C., with temperatures at or near ambient (20 to 25° C.) being typical. Application temperatures that are cooler than the typical range will result in a much slower coating deposition rate and may result in incomplete film formation. Temperatures higher than ambient can be used, but this is unnecessary and can increase the cost and application difficulty associated with the process. A temperature range of between about 5 and about 100° C. therefore constitutes the maximum allowable range for the application of these processes.
10) Contact Time, Coating Thickness
The contact time for the solutions should be sufficient to allow the formation of a uniform conversion coating of sufficient thickness to be effective as both a barrier film and a reservoir of Co+3 corrosion inhibitor. An average time of about 5 minutes has been found effective. A minimum solution contact time has been found to be about 1 minute under ambient conditions. Contact times will vary with parameters including solution concentrations, temperature, pH, and alloy composition. The barrier oxide film needs to develop long enough to provide a suitable base for mechanical adhesion of a later paint layer. Incomplete coating deposition will result in coatings with reduced mechanical adhesion. A satisfactory conversion coating has a combination of coating thickness and coating morphology that provides for good adherence of the conversion coating as well as to subsequently applied paints and coatings. The “state-of-the-art” chromium conversion coatings exhibit a coating thickness of approximately 200 nanometers, as well as a “mud-crack” or “honeycomb” morphology. Thinner coatings may be acceptable, but their morphology must be enhanced to achieve comparable paint adhesion. The minimum thickness of a trivalent cobalt coating will vary with substrate composition. A lower limit will be approximately 25 nanometers to form a pin-hole free uniform coating that will promote paint adhesion. Conversely, very thick conversion coatings can result in low mechanical adhesion due to fracture through the grown films. The maximum thickness for a satisfactory trivalent coblt conversion coating is approximately 10,000 nanometers.
C) General Application Process
The general process flow diagram for the application of the optimized trivalent cobalt conversion coatings is as follows:
1) Precleaning (if required)
2) Masking (if required)
3) Alkaline cleaning/rinsing (if required)
4) Deoxidizing/rinsing (if required)
5) Formation of optimized trivalent cobalt conversion coating
6) Rinsing
7) Post-coating treatment
8) Rinsing
9) Drying (if required).
Each of these processing steps are discussed briefly as follows:
1) Precleaning (if required)
Oils or greases on the part to be coated are removed using an appropriate technique, such as vapor degreasing.
2) Masking (if required)
Any areas that are not to be conversion coated with the cobalt conversion coatings are masked off using appropriate maskants. Any system component which may be adversely affected by the cobalt conversion coating process should also be masked off.
3) Alkaline Cleaning/Rinsing or Other Cleaning Process (if required)
Alkaline cleaning is suggested to remove traces of oils or hydrocarbon contaminants on the metal surface. These alkaline cleaning solutions frequently require elevated temperatures for application. The metal piece should be rinsed thoroughly following alkaline cleaning.
4) Deoxidizing/Rinsing (if required)
Deoxidizing should be performed using appropriate deoxidizing solutions in accordance with performance specifications in order to remove the natural oxide film on the surface of the metal piece. Following deoxidizing, the metal piece is thoroughly rinsed while reducing as much as possible the drag-out from the deoxidizing bath.
5) Formation of Cobalt Conversion Coating
The conversion coating solution (as described above) is applied through immersion, spray application, fogging, or manual application.
6) Rinsing
Standard rinse procedures are used.
7) Post-Coating Treatment
Solution formulations can be developed where a valence stabilizer is not included in the initial conversion coating solution or additional solubility control agents are needed to modify compounds formed during coating deposition. A second solution application (eitherby immersion, spray application, fogging, or manual application) may be necessary. This second solution would contain the cobalt valence stabilizer or solubility control agent.
Post coating treatments to the formed conversion coating can also include treatments to change the color of the formed coating through the action of dyes or bleaching agents. For example, thick hexavalent chromium conversion coatings on zinc are often dyed black from the original olive-drab color as-formed on the galvanized work piece. Likewise, bleaching agents are applied to hexavalent chromium conversion coatings on zinc to obtain a clear or iridescent effect. The application of dyes or bleaching agents to conversion coatings based on trivalent (or tetravalent) cobalt will change the color of these coatings also.
8) Rinsing
Standard rinse procedures are used.
9) Drying (if required)
Standard drying methods may be used. The “state-of-the-art” hexavalent chromium coatings require a 24-hour “aging” period prior to paint application. Comparable “aging” is optional but typical for cobalt conversion coatings.
The following examples of the method of forming valence stabilized CoIII conversion coatings demonstrate a variety of conversion coating solution formulas that can be used as direct replacements for toxic hexavalent chromium-based conversion coating solutions. However, these examples are not intended to represent refined final commercial compositions. The examples are intended to demonstrate the range and robustness of the art of CoIII valence stabilization as described in the specification.
We present first the conditions by which many of our examples were formed, the conditions under which their corrosion resistance was tested, and the color exhibited by many of the example trivalent cobalt conversion coatings. We then present some comparative examples of prior art that were examined during the development program associated with this patent. Finally, some examples using either inorganic or organic valence stabilizers with Co+3 are discussed.
The test examples explored here (with the exception of the comparative examples) were all prepared in the same manner to avoid preparation and compositional complications during analysis of stabilizer or preparation agent performance. Cobalt nitrate [Co(NO3)26H2O] was the compound used for the water-soluble cobalt source (although many others could be used). Potassium persulfate was used as the water-soluble peroxide source to oxidize the Coil to CoIII. The quantity of oxidizer was sufficient for a 1:1 ratio of released peroxide ion to CoIl ion. The same quantity of potassium hexafluorozirconate preparative agent was used as is in the CrVI baseline solution.
The following were held constant for all of the conversion coating solution formulations:
The reagents were added to one liter of deionized water at room temperature and allowed to dissolve while monitoring solution temperature and pH. Degreased and deoxidized plates of bare 2024-T3 and 7075-T6 aluminum alloys were conversion coated with a specific treatment. Multiple samples of specific compositions were prepared and tested. Exposure results reflect the average combined performance of the specimens rather than a best performance. Ease of use, uniform application methodology, and predictable corrosion inhibiting performance are emphasized by using multiple samples. The usefulness of these conversion-coating methods depends on the ability to obtain a constant level of corrosion inhibition. Samples treated with Alodine 1200™ were prepared identically to those used to test CoII composition variations for purposes of comparison.
Conversion coating performance would be, ideally, independent of the substrate composition. This is not necessarily seen when bare 2024-T3 and 7075-T6 aluminum alloys are tested side-by-side, with either CrVI or CoIII conversion coatings. Substrate composition can influence the effectiveness of a particular conversion coat, but the limited selection of chromate compound solubilities has restricted the general development of application-specific CrVI conversion coatings. The technology presented here will allow the development of both effective wide-spectrum coating systems for general application and tailored coating system solutions for specific needs, all based on trivalent (or tetravalent) cobalt.
Conversion coat formulations were evaluated by static salt fog (ASTM B-117) and cyclic Prohesion™ (ASTM G-85.5) accelerated corrosion tests. ASTM B-117 is a traditional corrosion proof test, but it has little relation to a real working environment. This accelerated corrosion test exposes samples to a constant salt-water fog and is a de facto test of solubility for corrosion inhibitors. B-117 does not necessarily test the ability of a corrosion inhibitor to actually inhibit corrosion. This is particularly true of inhibitors and complexes that have not been fully optimized with respect to solubility. ASTM G-85.5 (Prohesion™) is a cyclic corrosion test that more closely resembles real working environments. This accelerated corrosion test exposes samples to a cycle of fog of dilute salt and ammonium sulfate at room temperature followed by forced-air drying at an elevated temperature. This is a true test of the ability of a compound to inhibit corrosion. Results of these tests may be combined to gain insight into how a particular coating or compound will perform relative to a standard, as well as helping to identify strengths and weaknesses in the performance of a particular material.
Coating deposition may be identified by a change in surface texture or color. Commercial CrVI conversion coating systems are known to provide a golden, yellowish (for current systems), or greenish (for older systems) tint to the metal surface after treatment. The usefulness of color in these coatings is as a visual aid during application and as a place marker after application. The methods of forming conversion coatings described here are capable of producing colored or uncolored corrosion inhibiting coatings.
Alodine 1200™ is a commercial CrVI-ferricyanide based conversion coating used extensively to provide corrosion protection to metal surfaces. This material was used as a performance baseline for the effectiveness of CoIII compositions developed using the methodology described in this specification. Table 9 presents the accelerated corrosion testing results for bare 2024-T3 and 7075-T6 aluminum alloy test panels treated with Alodine 1200™ to form corrosion inhibiting conversion coatings.
The Alodine 1200™ treated samples performed well during their period of exposure as is expected from the current state-of-the-art. The influence of alloy composition on the performance of the conversion coating became clear over the period of exposure testing.
Conversion coating processes based on cobalt have been reported in the prior art that make use of additives identified as ‘stabilizers’ or ‘bath stabilizers’. ‘Bath stabilizers’ treat and extend the service life of the coating solution by reducing the formation and precipitation of CoIII-containing solids during coating deposition. Carboxylates, amines, or nitrito complexes are added to the bath to retain trivalent cobalt (Colil) ion in solution and maintain stable solution concentrations during the coating process.
Coating solutions were prepared following the procedure described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,551,994 and PCT International Application No. WO 96/29,448, with one exception. Bath stabilizers such as an amine, triethanolamine, or carboxylate were used in the coating solution. Sample plates treated with the bath-stabilized solution were treated with a vanadate/tungstate rinse to seal the coating per the prior art. The process described in the patents requires elevated solution temperatures to produce the described coatings; however, in this experiment the solutions were not heated. In this way, the performance of those coatings may be compared to coatings prepared by the methods outlined in the present invention, which were all produced at room temperature. The coated samples were exposed to ASTM B-117 and G-85 accelerated corrosion test environments. The specimens failed to inhibit corrosion during accelerated corrosion testing.
A variation of this process was also examined where an inorganic stabilizer with proven effectiveness (tellurate) at room temperature application was combined with triethanolamine. The surfaces of these samples exhibited severe corrosion in both testing environments, although the 7075-T6 samples in ASTM G-85 still exhibited some uncorroded areas. A comparison of tellurate stabilized conversion coatings with and without a water-soluble amine bath stabilizer demonstrates that the presence of the amine actually accelerated the effects of corrosion. This modification resulted in a very effective corrosion inhibitor being turned into one that provided only marginal protection.
Detailed analysis of the prior art process determined that heating the coating solutions was a method of producing an oxide barrier coating. However, the oxides that form from high temperature solution in this prior art will be starved of available CoIII. CoIII-vanadate/tungstate complexes formed during the sealing treatment are slightly soluble and would serve to enhance the corrosion resistance of a coating, had one been deposited.
Bath stabilizers produce conversion coatings with less inherent corrosion protection than if no ‘bath stabilizers’ were used. The effectiveness of the vanadate/tungstate sealing step is also reduced because the bath stabilizers also increase the solubility of CoIII-vanadate/tungstate complexes. The sealing step used in this art is not an efficient method to incorporate sparingly soluble CoIII compounds into a coating.
Polymers or other film-formers have been used in prior art conversion coating solutions. Film-formers may enhance short-term corrosion resistance by functioning as a barrier layer. CoIII-based conversion coating solutions of proven effectiveness were prepared with film forming additives. A periodate 2× valence stabilized Colli conversion coating solution was mixed with a polyvinyl butyral resin with an acid diluent and applied to test specimens. The CoIII-periodate valence stabilizer system yields a good conversion coating. Likewise, a molybdate-cobalt conversion coating was mixed with a non-inhibitive film former (Zip-Chem Co.) and applied to test specimens. The deposited periodate/polyvinyl butyral resin film had a low viscosity and didn't set up as a film for two days after solution application. Table 10 shows the results of accelerated corrosion testing on this barrier film system.
The molybdate-cobalt conversion coating that was mixed with a non-inhibitive film former never set and remained liquid 2 weeks after application.
Detailed analysis of the prior art process determined that the film formers interfere with substrate oxidation during the conversion coating process. Thin, incompletely anodized surfaces are formed that restrict the incorporation of a reservoir for active corrosion inhibitor. A comparison of these results with periodate compositions with no polymer indicates that the compositions with no polymer exhibit much greater corrosion resistance.
Three factors influence the effectiveness of CoIII complexes as active corrosion inhibitors. These factors are the solubility, valence stabilization, and polar character of the formed complex. Valence stabilization is an absolute requirement for the formation of useful inhibitors. The complex will simply not be able to oxidize surface flaws if the valence is not stabilized. The polar character of the complex is an important but not an essential feature of a corrosion-inhibiting complex.
Complexes lacking significant electrostatic double layer formation are still able to provide some amount of active inhibition. CoIII complex availability is second only to valence stabilization in a conversion coating's ability to provide effective inhibition. The solubility of solid CoIII complexes controls both how much and how fast corrosion inhibitor is supplied to a corroding surface. Solubility ranges for inhibitors have been referred to as insoluble, sparingly soluble, and very soluble. Sparingly soluble compounds are known to offer the widest range of useful oxidizer in solution.
A test to identify the range of CoIII availability in solution needed to inhibit corrosion was performed by preparing a series of simple complexes with valence stabilization and polar character held constant. Conversion coating solutions containing CoIII as the oxidizing component were prepared where the CoIII ion was valence stabilized in solution with ammonia. Six ammonia molecules are known to pack around soluble CoIII forming a hexaamine-cobalt (Co(NH3)6+3) complex. The anionic species chloride, bromide, sulfate, phosphate, carbonate, and hydroxide were used to precipitate Co(NH3)6+3 complexes of varying solubility. Coating solutions containing potassium hexafluorozirconate as a surface preparative agent were applied to cleaned 2024-T3 aluminum samples. The coated samples were exposed to 135 hours of ASTM B-117 and 135 hours of G-85 accelerated corrosion test environments.
A clear progression of corrosion resistance was observed. Co(OH)3 was precipitated when the hexaamine-cobalt complex was reacted with hydroxide. The samples containing extremely insoluble Co(OH)3 exhibited little or no corrosion resistance. Samples that contained the more soluble chloride and bromide species performed well in the early stages of the test, but failed to inhibit corrosion part way into the corrosion test. CoIII was likely incorporated into the coating as the expected (soluble) Co(NH3)6Cl3 and Co(NH3)6Br3 compounds. The slightly less soluble [Co(NH3)6]2[ZrF6]3 may have also precipitated and helped provide a slight reservoir of CoIII. Solubilities as high as about 5×10−1 moles/liter of CoIII exhibited corrosion resistance during the early portion of accelerated corrosion testing, but failed later in the test. The higher solubility complexes would have promoted rapid CoIII depletion as the test progressed.
Intermediate solubility complexes of sulfate, carbonate, and phosphate exhibited corrosion resistance greater than chloride or bromide stabilized complexes and performed the best of this series of stabilizer anions. These exhibited greater corrosion resistance than samples containing chloride or bromide. This data allowed an approximate range of 5×10−2 to 5×10−5 moles/liter of CoIII to be established as a typical solubility range for solid CoIII complexes in conversion coatings. Generally, CoIII complex solubility ranges as high as 5×10−1 to as low as 1×10−5 moles per liter of CoIII, at standard temperature and pressure, may offer some corrosion protection under certain conditions. An approximate solubility range of 5×10−2 to 5×10−5 moles/liter of CoIII in solution is a very desirable solubility range for CoIII in conversion coatings.
None of these ammonia stabilized samples exhibited corrosion resistance approaching that exhibited by CrVI-based conversion coat samples. This is because inadequate electrostatic dipoles are established in the hexaamine-CoIII complex. Further optimization would need to be provided through the engineering of dipoles within the “sparingly soluble” CoIII-stabilizer combinations.
It should be noted that we also performed similar tests using deposited CrVI compounds of varying solubility. As with the CoIII coatings, a clear progression of performance based on solubility was observed.
Inorganic valence stabilizers were used to test and verify the method of forming effective CoIII-based conversion coatings. A series of simple inorganic valence stabilized CoIII complexes were prepared and applied to precleaned bare 2024-T3 and 7075-T6 aluminum alloy samples. Immersion times were 5 minutes for each piece in each formulation. The coated samples were exposed to ASTM B-117 and G-85 accelerated corrosion test environments. Table 11 shows the type and concentration of each stabilizer that was used in combination with CoIII. The concentration of each stabilizer was either the same as that of ferricyanide in the hexavalent chromium formulations on a molar basis, or, in the case of some of the inorganics, twice that amount. This was done to ensure sufficient source material to form heteropolymetallates for CoIII stabilization.
A small quantity of the persulfate (1 to 2 grams, depending on the formulation) and some stabilization agents would not dissolve for all of these formulations. The saturation limit had been achieved at the coating temperature (25° C.). Three 2024-T3 and three 7075-T6 samples of each formulation were loaded for ASTM B-117 salt fog exposure and ASTM G-85 Prohesion exposure. The panels were exposed for 65 hours in the ASTM B-117 Salt fog test and 70 hours in the ASTM G-85 Prohesion test—a sufficient time period to begin to see the corrosion resistance of each coating for each alloy.
The periodate and tellurate-stabilized coatings performed well. Some corrosion product formed on this series of samples but large bare uncorroded areas were on all sixteen sample coupons. The periodate sample exhibited corrosion protection comparable to the Alodine 1200™ treated specimens in both ASTM B-117 and ASTM G-85 environments. The concentration of the tellurate valence stabilizer was doubled to determine the effect that valence stabilizer concentration would have upon the coating. The stabilizer concentration appeared to improve the performance of this system somewhat. Other inorganic stabilization agents also were effective to various degrees. The carbonate-stabilized coatings demonstrated the influence of solubility on the performance of the coating during salt fog exposure. This stabilizer is a candidate for further examination to tailor the solubility of the complex with additional solubility control agents.
A second group of inorganically stabilized trivalent cobalt compositions was tested to evaluate the effect of the concentration of the valence stabilizer. The stabilizer concentration in this set was either the same, twice, or three times the molar amount of ferricyanide in hexavalent chromium formulations. Compositional characteristics of these solutions in terms of the source and concentration of cobalt, oxidizer, and preparative agent were identical to the previous sample set, although only one sample of each was tested. Table 12 shows the type, concentration, and effectiveness of each stabilizer that was used for CoIII in this example.
The rating numbers correspond to chrome baselines exposed to the same conditions (given a ranking of 100%).
This set of samples demonstrates the robust character of the method of preparing CoIII-based conversion coatings described in this specification. Precursor concentration does influence the corrosion resistance of coatings made with these stabilizers. Several of these formulations are of commercial quality with no additional development or refinement necessary. The worst of the chemical systems listed in Table 10 work better than current commercial alternatives for CrVI-based conversion coatings. The stannate and periodate 1× stabilized compositions could be used immediately as direct equivalent replacements for Alodine 1200™.
Organic valence stabilizers were used to verify the robustness of the method of forming effective CoIII-based conversion coatings. Organic compounds provide an almost unlimited number of possibilities for stabilizer compositions. Picolinate is an organic compound that demonstrated its ability to valence stabilize CoIII. A conversion coating solution containing 0.0025 M (0.31 g) picolinic acid was prepared as described above. This concentration was the same as that of ferricyanide in the hexavalent chromium formulations on a molar basis. This solution was applied to precleaned bare 2024-T3 and 7075-T6 aluminum alloy samples. Immersion times were 5 minutes for each piece in each formulation. The coated samples were exposed to ASTM B-117 and G-85 accelerated corrosion test environments. Table 13 shows the results of the initial corrosion testing of picolinate stabilized CoIII conversion coating.
The encouraging results with picolinic acid and other organic compounds suggested the value of examining additional organic stabilizers. The concentration of the organic stabilizers were varied similar to inorganic valence stabilizers shown in the earlier example. Conversion coating solutions were prepared as described above. These solutions were applied to precleaned bare 2024-T3 and 7075-T6 aluminum alloy samples. Immersion times were 5 minutes for each piece in each formulation. The coated samples were exposed to ASTM B-117 and G-85 accelerated corrosion test environments. Table 14 shows the type and concentration of each organic stabilizer that was used for CoIII.
The rating numbers correspond to chrome baselines exposed to the same conditions (given a ranking of 100%).
Organic ligands with various bonding configurations were examined in Group 1 of the above table. Picolinic, nicotinic, isonicotinic, and pyrazinecarboxylic acids are all isomers of one another with identical molecular weights. They were used to determine if the geometry of the organic ligand was important. The results of this study demonstrate the importance of the binding site geometry. The valence stabilizers in Group 2 of the above table were examined to identify trends in stabilizer performance with the size of the organic stabilizer. Several of the large organic valence stabilizers approached and passed the level of protection provided by Alodine 1200™ in ASTM G-85 accelerated corrosion testing. A naphthol yellow stabilized CoIII conversion coating performed better than Alodine 1200™ in ASTM G-85. The results for salt fog indicate that solubility control is important in tailoring the long-term performance of these compounds. Phthalocyanine, Flavazin, and Tartrazine were very effective in ASTM G-85 and worked very well for a limited time in B-117. This result indicates that these materials are effective in inhibiting corrosion but may need additional solubility control to reach their full potential.
