This invention relates generally to compositions and methods for the formation of protective, corrosion-inhibiting rinses and seals for use to impart additional corrosion resistance to structural materials without the use of chromium in the hexavalent oxidation state. More particularly, this invention relates to non-toxic, corrosion-protective rinses and seals for metal phosphating, anodizing, and “black oxiding” processes based on trivalent (or tetravalent) cobalt and methods of making and using the same.
Metals like aluminum, zinc, titanium, iron, cadmium, tin, indium, manganese, beryllium, magnesium, niobium, tantalum, zirconium, lead, cobalt, copper, and silver, their alloys, or items plated with these metals, require protection from corrosion due to their low oxidation-reduction (redox) potentials or ease of oxide formation. These metal alloys have many uses that range from architectural adornments to protective coatings themselves to automotive, structural aerospace, and electronic components, to name a few. The unalloyed metals typically form an outer layer of natural oxide: a “passive film” that serves to protect them and reduce their overall rate of corrosion. However, the corrosion protection offered by the naturally formed oxide layer on certain alloys of these metals is not complete and corrosion will eventually occur unless some form of additional corrosion protection is used. Thus, for example, steels are typically “phosphated” to provide an impermeable coating that not only resists corrosive attack, but also provides a paint base. Additionally, architectural and structural aluminum are frequently “anodized” to form an impermeable oxide film for the same reasons.
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 chemically- or electrolytically-generated coating such as an anodized coating (typically on aluminum), a phosphate coating (typically on electrogalvanized or bare steel), or a black oxide coating (for high strength bearing and tool steels). The metal is exposed to a compound that chemically alters the surface (in phosphating and black oxiding) or an electric current (in anodizing) and forms a coating that provides some corrosion resistance by forming a barrier film. The morphology and possibly the chemistry of the anodic coating or phosphate coating can allow for the formation of a strong bond with subsequently-applied paint systems. An anodic coating is usually applied via immersion in an electrolytic cell. A phosphating or black oxide solution may be applied by immersion, by spray, or by manual means.
These coatings frequently exhibit “flaws” such as pores, pinholes, or thin portions in the coating after formation and do not contain any inherent means to “repair” these coating breaches. The application of a second solution is necessary to fill the pores in the coating and deposit compounds that will act as long-term corrosion protective species. These “second solutions” are termed “rinses” or “seals” in the corrosion literature. The term “rinse” is typically used for the second solution applied to phosphating and black oxide coatings, whereas the term “seal” usually refers to the second solution applied to anodic coatings. These rinses and seals are typically applied via spray techniques, but immersion, fogging, and wiping are also accepted practices.
Hexavalent chromium has traditionally been the active corrosion-inhibiting agent used in rinses and seals for the formation of protective coatings for iron, electrogalvanized iron, aluminum, zinc, magnesium, titanium, cadmium, tin, indium, manganese, and their alloys. Niobium, tantalum, zirconium, beryllium, lead, cobalt, copper, and silver may also be treated with hexavalent chromium rinses and seals for special applications. The three main coating processes that use these rinses and seals are 1) the phosphating process for steel and galvanized steel products, 2) the anodization process for a host of structural metals, and 3) the black oxide process for high-strength steel and iron used for bearing materials. Table 1 illustrates the processes that typically utilize a final chrome “rinse” or “seal” to impart additional corrosion protection to a given substrate material.
As shown in Table 1 above, there are three “generic” phosphating processes for steel and steel alloys—zinc, manganese, and iron phosphating. Differences in the coating solutions result in different chemistries and physical attributes in the formed coatings. For example, zinc phosphating is used primarily on galvanized steel sheet, and results in an ideal surface morphology for paint adhesion if the crystals are small in size, and as a solid lubricant for larger size crystals. Manganese phosphating, however, results in a hard, lubricious coating that has no use as a paint base, but exhibits excellent characteristics as a solid lubricant. Manganese phosphating coatings are rarely subjected to a post-chrome rinse, because the corrosion resistance of these coatings is of lesser concern. Iron phosphating is also used as a paint and adhesive base, and always receives post-treatments for corrosion protection.
Similar differences are also noted in anodizing processes. Anodizing processes involve the application of an electric potential under a variety of acidic conditions to the substrate to be coated. Sulfuric acid is the conventional anodizing acid used to form hard oxide films on aluminum, although other anodization solutions have specialized applications. For example, phosphoric acid may be used for adhesive bonding applications on aluminum. Oxalic acid anodization results in a harder, denser coating with higher corrosion resistance than sulfuric acid anodization and is used more often in Europe. Boric acid anodization is used frequently for electronic capacitors although citric and tartaric acid anodization can be used for the same application. Anodization with sulfonated organic acids (such as sulfosalicylic or sulfophthalic acids) is used to impart color during the anodization process. Chromic acid anodization is used on parts with complex shapes where final sealing or rinsing is not possible. Other acids, including hydrofluoric acid, have been used for special applications or in proprietary formulations. Those skilled in the anodization art know that there exist a wide variety of anodizing processes due to the multitude of substrate metals, anodizing acids, applied voltages, and final applications.
Finally, “black oxide” coatings are applied to high strength steels and copper-containing alloys to impart a lubricious coating. The difference between “black oxide” coatings and other lubricious coating processes (such as manganese phosphating) is that “black oxide” coatings are applied under caustic, elevated temperature conditions. For example, a concentrated sodium hydroxide solution is raised to its boiling point and the substrate metal is then immersed in this solution. This results in the formation of a lubricious coating of magnetite/ferrite on the surface of steel alloys.
Other coating processes that result in coatings with no inherent self-healing characteristics have also been enhanced through the use of hexavalent chromium rinses and seals. Carbonate coatings on metals such as zinc, iron, magnesium, and especially copper have been described in the early literature as providing some degree of corrosion protection. These coatings can be further enhanced through the use of hexavalent chromium rinses to deposit inhibiting compounds to self-heal coating breaches. Other oxide, phosphate, oxalate, silicate, aluminate, borate or polymeric coatings, or combinations thereof, can also be enhanced via hexavalent chromium rinses and seals.
For each of these three generic coating processes (phosphating, anodizing, and black oxiding), a second, subsequent chemical treatment is often applied. The nature of this second treatment is dependent upon the desired final characteristics of the metal piece. For phosphating and black oxiding processes, this second treatment is usually a rinse of hexavalent chromium, to impart additional corrosion protection to the coating. For anodizing processes, the second treatment can impart a number of useful attributes to the work piece. This second “sealing” process for anodized coatings can include: 1) pure boiling water (to plug the pores with a hydrated alumina composition); 2) silicates (to plug the pores with a silicate composition); 3) dyes or metal-dye complexes (to impart color to the anodic coating); 4) metal salts followed by cathodic reduction (to color the coating via the formation of metals or metal sulfides in the pores); 5) lubricating additives such as molybdenum disulfide or dispersions of polytetrafluoroethylene (to fill the pores with a lubricious additive); and 6) hexavalent chromium seals to fill the pores with chromate species. It is noteworthy that the only one of these six generic sealing processes that results in a coating with self-healing characteristics is the hexavalent chromium seals. The other sealing processes for anodic coatings may temporarily increase the corrosion resistance of the coating by plugging the pores in the oxide coating (e.g., with hydrated alumina or silicate), but the coating does not retain any corrosion-inhibitive species.
The various coating processes to which the art described in this invention is applicable are shown in Table 1 above. The frequent use of hexavalent chrome to “rinse” or “seal” the coating (phosphate, anodic, or black oxide) formed in the first unit operation of the process, to impart additional corrosion resistance, connects them. These solutions are usually simple formulations consisting of nothing more than dissolved chromium trioxide, chromate, or dichromate. These formulations are usually applied by spraying, although immersion, fogging, or even wiping may also be used.
Sometimes these hexavalent chromium rinse or sealing formulations will contain other constituents. Some formulations include minor concentrations of fluorides. These fluorides act to “etch back” the coating formed in the first unit operation (e.g., phosphate, anodic, or black oxide), thus further facilitating the deposition of corrosion-inhibiting species. Rinsing solutions for phosphate solutions are frequently observed to include phosphoric acid in addition to hexavalent chromium in order to reduce staining of the phosphate coating by the hexavalent chromium. These hexavalent chromium rinse or sealing solutions can also contain other constituents, such as ferricyanides or molybdates. The presence of these other constituents is significant in light of the chemistry developed and presented in this invention.
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 that 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:
Co+3+eCo+2+1.92 V
Cr+6+3eCr+3+1.36 V
Accordingly, a number of processes have been reported in the literature, which make use of cobalt in rinsing or sealing bath solutions, generally to provide coloring of the coated alloys. However, the coatings formed by these processes provide only limited corrosion protection and do not approach the benefit derived from the use of hexavalent chromium. None of the prior art recognizes the importance of trivalent (or tetravalent) cobalt for corrosion protection, nor the need to “valence stabilize” trivalent cobalt to ensure its long-term stability. The use of cobalt in the prior art is primarily as a coloring agent for anodic coatings, although there is some reference to its use as a rinse for phosphate coatings. The use of cobalt in rinses for black oxide coatings has heretofore been unrecognized.
The use of film-forming substances, such as polymers, silicates, sol-gel, etc., which have no inherent oxidizing character in sealing or rinsing coating solutions, has been described in the literature. The film formers may enhance short-term corrosion resistance by functioning as a barrier layer. Barrier layers lacking an active corrosion inhibitor have been demonstrated to be capable of inhibiting corrosion 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.
1) Rinses for Phosphate Coatings
U.S. Pat. No. 4,673,445 to Tuttle, Jr., et al. describes the use of a 175° F. post-treatment for phosphate coatings that contains cobalt, a tin (II) compound [stannous], and tartaric acid. Given the proper pH conditions, it may be possible to form a stannate-stabilized cobalt complex from this solution. However, no conditions are described that would result in oxidation of the cobalt to the trivalent or tetravalent oxidation state. Stannous compounds are mild reducing agents so it is extremely unlikely that Co+3 or Co+4 could be formed from these solutions in the absence of any oxidizing species.
European Patent No. EP 0 486 778 B1 to McMillen, et al. describes the use of rinsing solutions that contain an amino compound (amino acid or amino alcohol) and a transition metal compound. However, the preferred group IIIB and IVB transition metal and rare earth metal compounds described are zirconium, titanium, hafnium, cerium, and mixtures thereof.
2) Seals for Anodic Coatings
Cobalt has primarily been described as a coloring agent for anodized coatings, under a variety of different processing conditions. These include:
a) Electrolysis in the absence of valence stabilizer compounds once an anodic coating is formed. Coloring is frequently accomplished by immersing the work piece into a separate, cobalt-containing solution and then electrolyzing. However, these solutions typically do not contain materials that can function as valence stabilizers, nor are subsequent treatments with compounds that can function as valence stabilizers described. Additionally, electrolysis is performed under conditions that reduce the cobalt-to-cobalt metal, cobalt-containing alloys, or reduced cobalt compounds such as sulfides. This process involves connecting the anodized work piece to the electrolytic cell so that it functions as a cathode to reduce the cobalt. An example of this is described in European Patent No. EP 0 368 470 B1 to Fern, et al. A “pore-filling”metal (cobalt is a described example) is deposited into the pores using an a.c. or modified a.c. deposition. Long-term corrosion resistance will be decreased due to the formation of galvanic couples between the anodized substrate metal and the pore-filling metal, while a temporary increase in corrosion resistance may be expected due to the filling of the pores. The use of trivalent or tetravalent cobalt to provide long-term corrosion protection is not described in these patents.
b) Use of cobalt-dye complexes to color anodic coatings has been used since the 1950s with metal complexes of azo dyes, sulfonic acids, amino acids, aromatic carboxylic acids, and other organic compounds. Many of these compounds can be used as “valence stabilizers” for trivalent cobalt. The oxidation state of the cobalt in the described coloring materials is always divalent. Divalent cobalt provides no redox-based corrosion-inhibiting protection. The use of cobalt in corrosion-inhibiting seals for anodic coatings has been described less often than for coloring. None of these compositions describe the use of trivalent (or tetravalent) cobalt as the inhibitor species, nor the use of “valence stabilizers” to provide long-term corrosion-resistance.
Accordingly, the need remains for improved rinses and seals which have an effectiveness, ease of application, and performance comparable to coatings formed with hexavalent chromium and which do so without the use of toxic or currently regulated materials.
That need is met by the present invention which represents a significant improvement in the formulation of non-toxic rinses and seals through the use of trivalent cobalt. The rinses and seals of the present invention inhibit corrosion to a higher degree than any other known cobalt-based coating. Moreover, the rinses and seals of the present invention inhibit corrosion to a degree comparable to commercial formulations based on hexavalent chromium. As used herein, the term “sealing bath” includes both sealing baths and rinsing baths and the term “seal” includes both seals and rinses.
The present invention utilizes “valency stabilization” of the trivalent (or tetravalent) cobalt ion in the as-formed coating to achieve corrosion resistance that is comparable to hexavalent chromium. More specifically, in order to achieve a high degree of corrosion resistance, a rinse or seal can result in a coating that exhibits the following characteristics:
1) The coating can contain an oxidizing species. The coatings that are subjected to rinsing and sealing (e.g., phosphate, anodic, or black oxide) do not contain oxidizing species. Therefore, the sealing or rinsing solution must supply these oxidizing species. Oxidizing species serve two important functions within the coating: a) they act to impede the flow of charged species through the coating, therefore helping reduce the transport of corrosion reactants, and b) if a scratch is formed in the coating, these oxidizing species act to “repair” the breach by oxidizing the underlying metal and quickly reforming an oxide barrier. The effectiveness of the oxidizing species is a function of its individual oxidation-reduction potential and the more highly oxidized species exhibit greater corrosion protection. An oxidation-reduction potential of approximately +0.80 V (at a pH of 0) appears to be the dividing line between inhibitors that offer some corrosion protection and those that do not. The trivalent cobalt ion, with an oxidation-reduction potential of +1.92 V (at a pH of 0), is an exceptionally good oxidizing species. The hydroxyl and oxygen liberated from water when trivalent cobalt is reduced will oxidize (“passivate”) nearby bare metal.
2) A “valence stabilizer” for the trivalent cobalt can be employed to ensure that the ion will not be reduced quickly to the divalent state in solution or in the coating. The importance of stabilizing the cobalt ion in its trivalent (or tetravalent) state in a solid precipitate is important to the composition of rinsing and sealing formulations.
3) The trivalent cobalt species formed in the coating (e.g., in the pores) can be present as a “sparingly soluble” material. If the formed trivalent cobalt species is too soluble, then it will be washed away. If it is too insoluble, then insufficient trivalent cobalt is available to inhibit corrosion. A trivalent cobalt species that exhibits low solubility will not only fail to inhibit corrosion, but can also promote localized crevice corrosion and result in enhanced corrosion rates. In order to form an effective rinse or seal, the trivalent cobalt compounds formed in the coating pores must be in a “sparingly soluble” form. It is difficult to place specific solubility values to these optimum “sparingly soluble” coating materials because there appear to be several variables associated with what makes an optimum coating material. It appears that if the trivalent cobalt is incorporated in the coating in the form of a trivalent cobalt/valence stabilizer complex which exhibits a solubility in water of between about 5×10−5 and about 5×10−2 moles per liter of trivalent cobalt, then appreciable corrosion inhibition will be observed. Coatings that incorporate stabilized trivalent cobalt compounds that fall outside of this particular solubility range may also exhibit some corrosion inhibition. For example, 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 exhibit some corrosion resistance, although not as great as those compounds which fall within the optimum solubility range. The degree of effectiveness will depend on the particular compound itself. The solubility characteristics of the trivalent cobalt in the pores of the coating can be controlled through the use of stabilizer materials, which form compounds that fall within a desired solubility range. In this way, a “controlled release” of trivalent cobalt can be achieved, much as a “timed release” of hexavalent chromium is achieved in the “state-of-the-art” systems.
4) The “valence stabilization” helps to establish an electrostatic barrier layer around the cation-stabilizer complex in aqueous solution. The nature and character of the electrostatic double-layer surrounding the cation-stabilizer complex may be controlled and modified by careful selection of stabilizer species. Characteristics such as the electrical dipole moment and the shape/conformation (for steric effects) of the stabilizer will influence the performance of the formed inhibitor species. In general, the electrostatic double layer formed acts to protect the cation from premature reaction with hydronium, hydroxide, and other ions in solution. The formation of electrostatic barrier layers also helps to impede the passage of corrosive ions through the coating to which the rinse or seal composition was applied, to the metallic surface.
This phenomenon is exhibited in some of the hexavalent chromium systems. For example, in rinses for phosphate coatings wherein some ferricyanide is added to the hexavalent chromium, the highly charged hexavalent chromium ion is surrounded by very polar ferricyanide ions in the as-formed complexes within the pores. 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 chromium ion/ferricyanide complex.
5) The as-formed trivalent cobalt/valence stabilizer complex may also exhibit ion exchange behavior towards alkali species. This optional consideration is important because alkali ions (especially sodium) are notoriously corrosive towards alloys which contain metals such as aluminum, zinc, or magnesium. The hexavalent chromium-ferricyanide complex formed in some rinse formulations also exhibits this ion exchange phenomenon. The corrosion resistance of a number of phosphated steel and anodized aluminum alloys as tested using both ASTM B-1 17 and ASTM G-85 has been enhanced through the use of trivalent cobalt species. Their corrosion resistance is comparable to that of hexavalent chromium systems.
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 rinses and seals using trivalent cobalt. This approach uses stabilizer materials which form compounds with trivalent cobalt within the as-formed coating that are sparingly soluble in aqueous solution, typically around approximately 5×10−2 to 5×10−5 moles/liter of trivalent cobalt. This solubility range provides a release of trivalent cobalt from the coating 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 G-85. 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) may also prove to be effective under certain conditions. However, formed 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 within the pores therefore plays a significant role in the effectiveness of the formed coating. Solubility control may be achieved using organic or inorganic stabilizer materials.
In another aspect, the invention is the achievement of corrosion-resistant coatings derived from rinses and seals 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 coatings derived from rinses and seals based on 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 inorganic or organic stabilizer materials.
In another aspect, the invention is the achievement of corrosion-resistant coatings based on rinses or seals containing trivalent cobalt that also uses optional preparative agents in conjunction with the cobalt to strip off some of the already-formed barrier film in the vicinity of the pores. The typical preparative agents for use with trivalent cobalt 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.
Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide non-toxic rinses and seals 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 are used for the rinse and sealing baths of the present invention. These include: a cobalt source; a valence stabilizer source; an oxidation source (optional if trivalent cobalt is already present in the rinse or sealing bath); a preparative agent source (optional); and additional solubility control agents (optional). These materials may be included as neat compounds in the rinse and sealing baths, or may be added to the baths as already-prepared solutions. Likewise, all of the described constituents do not necessarily have to be included within one solution, and in some instances (e.g., additional solubility control agents) it is typical that these constituents are used separately. Further enhancements to the formed coating may be imparted through the use of additional starting materials. Foremost among these are agents to improve the lubricity or 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. Examples of 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 wherein the cobalt is already in the trivalent oxidation state. Examples of these compounds include, but are not restricted to: hexaamminecobalt chloride, hexaamminecobalt bromide, hexaamminecobalt nitrate, pentaamminecobalt chloride, pentaamminecobalt bromide, pentaamminecobalt 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 for these rinses and seals, 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 which increase their solubility in water.
It may not be necessary to add a separate cobalt source for these rinse or sealing solutions if a cobalt-containing alloy is to be treated. The first unit operation in the process (phosphating, anodizing, or black oxiding) will dissolve much of the cobalt-containing substrate metal. This will result in divalent cobalt ions being present in the pores of the as-formed coating. A suitable oxidizer can then oxidize the divalent cobalt to the necessary trivalent oxidation state during rinsing or sealing.
b) Tetravalent Cobalt
The tetravalent cobalt ion (Co+4) is an even better oxidizing species than Co+3. It has a radius of 53 picometers, carries a charge of +4, and has a redox potential of over 2.0 V. 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 as an inhibitor species in the pores of a barrier film 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 makes its routine application problematic. The presence of both trivalent and tetravalent cobalt in the as-formed coatings from the rinses and seals can be determined by their magnetic behavior. A combination of Co+3 and Co+4 is reportedly paramagnetic. Tetravalent cobalt can be made using chemical or electrolytic oxidation, as can trivalent cobalt. The difficulty of its formation or stabilization should not preclude the use of tetravalent cobalt in some rinses and seals. 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) 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 rinse or sealing baths. Valence stabilization has not been recognized previously as an important consideration in the development of effective corrosion-inhibiting rinses and seals. 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 oxidative 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 rinsing or sealing 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 61 picometers is slightly larger than the 44 picometers 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 rinse or sealing solution. 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 by additional solubility control agents), appreciable corrosion inhibition will be observed if the trivalent cobalt is incorporated in the coating enhanced via rinsing or sealing 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 (or tetravalent) 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.
Rinse or sealing solutions that contain valence stabilizers that result in the formation of stabilized cobalt compounds that fall outside of this particular solubility range may exhibit some degree of corrosion inhibition and may be effective under certain circumstances. Although not as effective as those compounds within the optimum solubility range, compositions with solubilities as high as about 5×10−1 moles per liter or as low as about 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 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 rinsed or sealed 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 rinse or sealing solutions, the nature of the barrier film being treated, and the net aqueous solubility of the overlying paints and coatings.
The formation of 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 formed from a rinse or seal solution. Oxides and hydroxides of Co+3 are much too insoluble in water to serve effectively as corrosion inhibitors in a coating.
One method of providing a useful source of trivalent cobalt at a metal surface is the creation of a sparingly soluble compound in which the Co+3 is shielded from premature reduction during and after compound formation during the rinsing or sealing treatments. 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 solubility of the Co+3 ion.
The electrostatic character of the complex may also be considered in order to create a Co+3 stabilizer complex with optimal corrosion resistance. Valence stabilizers may 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 treated coating. Valence stabilizers which form sparingly soluble cobalt complexes with enhanced electrostatic double layers will maximize the corrosion-inhibiting character of the rinsed or sealed 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 valence stabilizers typically used for hexavalent chromium so that comparable corrosion resistance can be achieved in relation to the state of the art Cr+ compositions. Valence stabilizers which have a comparable dipole moment to the Cr+6 stabilizers, or which exhibit even less of a dipole moment than the Cr+6 stabilizers can also function as valence stabilizers, but the resultant corrosion resistance of the treated coatings will, in all probability, be less than for the current commercial hexavalent chromium-based rinses and seals.
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 SO42− 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) may result in the formation of a Co+3-valence stabilizer compound which also 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 phenomenon, but complexes derived from rinse or sealing solutions that do not exhibit this phenomenon 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 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, 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. The electrostatic action of the Co+3 ion on the aqueous solution 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 the 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 formed will be much less stable than with a macromolecule that contains an adequate number of sites.
The physical geometry of the binding sites is also 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 rinse or sealing solutions are applied. 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 one factor in maintaining stability. Co+3-ligand attraction increases with the number of binding sites on the ligand. However, with 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, addition of nitro groups (—NO2), perfluoroalkyl groups (—CxF2x+1), perchloroalkyl groups (—CxCl2x+1), nitramine groups (═N—NO2), thioketone groups (═C═S), sulfenyl halide groups (—S—X), or sulfur dihaloimide groups (—N═SX2) to an organic valence stabilizer will lower its 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+3-stabilizer complexes result 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 rinse or seal solution for maximum effectiveness. These “wide band” stabilizers result in the formation of compounds that provide significant corrosion resistance when used with trivalent cobalt. Less typical valence stabilizers (“narrow band”) result in satisfactory corrosion inhibition only under limited applications. Wide band rinse or sealing solutions for general purpose applications and narrow band derivatives for specific uses have been identified and developed. Wide band behavior (stability, solubility, and polarization) can be achieved by both inorganic and organic valence stabilizers, as can ion exchange capability.
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.
2a) Wide Band Inorganic Valence Stabilizers
Wide band inorganic valence stabilizers are formed around the Co+3 ion by polymerizing in the rinse or sealing solution near the barrier layer/substrate metal surface being treated. Acidic solutions can become basic near the work piece surface (and especially within the pores in the treated barrier film) where precipitation of the cobalt-stabilizer complex occurs during the rinsing or sealing 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 work piece or within the treated barrier film pores 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 contributes to some 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 5.
The solubilities given in Table 5 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, 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, SbF5 to form heteroantimonates, etc.) 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 formed from a rinsing or sealing solution. 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 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 rinsing or sealing solution.
2b) 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 rinse or seal inhibitor 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 2 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 ═O 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. 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 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 rinsing or sealing solution during the coating process.
2c) 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, titanates, zirconates, and hafnates. For example, valence stabilizers using arsenate are less desirable because their inherent toxicity is very large (greater than Cr+6), 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 rinse or sealing 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, Ni+2, Ni+3, Ni+4, Cu+2, Cu+3, Zn+2, Ga+3, Ge+4, As+5, As+3, Zr+4, 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.
2d) Narrow Band Organic Valence Stabilizers
Narrow band organic valence stabilizers include those general classes of chemical compounds that result in Co+3-valence stabilizer complexes that are either less stable, more soluble in water, or more toxic than the wide band organic stabilizers. 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.

2e) Mixed Inorganic/Organic Valence Stabilizers
Mixing organic and inorganic valence stabilizers in a rinsing or sealing solution will often result in a coating with poor corrosion-inhibiting properties because of cross interference. Inorganic and organic valence stabilizers interact with the Co+3 ion in different ways. For example, inorganic valence stabilizers will perform their function by forming a shell of octahedrally or tetrahedrally coordinated anionic species around the captured Co+3 ion. Therefore, the net charge of these inorganic valence stabilizer/Co+3 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 inhibitor species will usually perform more poorly than inhibitors that have exclusively organic or inorganic valence stabilizers for this reason.
2f) 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, biguanides, azo oximes (including hydrazone oximes), some Schiff Bases, and some azo compounds.
3) Oxidation Source
Oxidizers serve two important functions within the coatings enhanced through the use of the described rinses and seals: 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 rinse and seal solutions, 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 rinse or seal 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 preferable for this application in terms of handling and reagent measurement. Other starting materials (cobalt source, stabilizer source, fluoride 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 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, permitrates, perphosphates, percarbonates, persilicates, peraluminates, pertitanates, perzirconates, permolybdates, pertungstates, pervanadates, and organic peroxyacid derivatives), ozone, hypochlorites, chlorates, perchlorates, hypobromites, chlorites, bromates, nitrates, nitrites, vanadates, iodates, 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, tetravalent) oxidation state.
It is also possible to deposit divalent cobalt into the pore via the rinse or seal solution, and then apply a second solution containing an oxidizer to oxidize the cobalt to the trivalent oxidation state. This, however, is less preferred because the percentage of deposited cobalt that will be in the trivalent state will be less than if it were oxidized prior to or during deposition.
In the rinse and seal solutions based on hexavalent chromium, oxidation sources termed “accelerators” are often added to speed up the pore-filling process. Because the application of an acid (i.e., a rinse or seal solution) to an electronegative metal will result in the formation of hydrogen gas, cathodic areas on exposed 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 desirable to have oxidizers in the initial rinsing or sealing solution based on cobalt.
Oxidation of the cobalt to the trivalent state may also be achieved in the rinse or seal solution or in deposited divalent cobalt complexes through electrolytic means. In many instances, however, this approach will not be economically feasible due to the large energy costs associated with electrolytic oxidation. This is especially true of rinse and seal solutions to be used for phosphate or black oxide coatings. For these types of coatings, chemical oxidation, such as that described above, currently offers the lowest-cost means to achieve oxidation of the cobalt to the trivalent state.
However, for anodic coatings and processes, this electrolytic alternative is a very viable option due to the electrolytic application of the first (oxide barrier layer) coating. In fact, electrolytic processes are often used for the coloring of anodic coatings. However, formation of trivalent (or tetravalent) cobalt complexes in the pores of the anodic coating will differ significantly from the current “state-of-the-art” anodic coloring processes. In the current “state-of-the-art” anodic coloring processes achieved by electrolytic means, the bare uncoated work piece to be anodized is first connected to an electrolytic cell as the anode. Once a potential is applied, the metal associated with the work piece is oxidized on the surface, thereby forming an oxide/hydroxide barrier layer. In the second step (electrolytic coloring) of the “state-of-the-art”, the work piece is positioned so that it is the cathode of the electrolytic cell, resulting in reduction on the surface of the work piece. (Transfer of the work piece to a cathode is usually achieved by reversing the electric biases of the cell, although manual repositioning is also a possibility.) In this way, the metals associated with the second solution are reduced either to the elemental state or to sulfides within the pores of the anodic coating, resulting in coloring.
In order to oxidize divalent cobalt to the trivalent or tetravalent state in the solution or the coating, a similar procedure as the “state-of-the-art” is followed, except that in the application of the second solution, the work piece should remain as the anode. Therefore, following formation of the oxide barrier film in the anodization process, it is not necessary to reverse the bias or manually transfer the work piece so that it is the cathode in the electrolytic cell. Formation of trivalent or tetravalent cobalt can be achieved with the work piece still connected as the anode. In this way, it is necessary only to change the solution from one used for anodization (e.g., sulfuric acid anodization) to a composition such as that described in this invention to achieve superior corrosion protection. Coloring of the anodic coating will also be achieved using this approach, because of the wide range of colors achievable with trivalent cobalt/valence stabilizer complexes.
4) Preparative Agent Source
The deposition of trivalent cobalt/valence stabilizer complexes within the pores of anodic, phosphate, or “black oxide” coatings is enhanced if some of the existing barrier layer, particularly in the vicinity of the pores, is dissolved. Therefore, a means to remove the existing barrier layer is optionally desirable to achieve high-quality coatings resulting from rinsing and sealing. A preparative agent is any material that removes (dissolves and breaks up) preexisting coating materials. The hexavalent chromium formulations term these materials “activators” or “surface etchants.” Because the existing barrier layer material at the margins of the pores will be slightly more disordered than in the bulk of the existing film, the preparative agent will preferentially attack the pore wall material. This in turn locally raises the pH in the vicinity of the pore; thereby further facilitating precipitation of trivalent cobalt/valence stabilizer inhibitor complexes.
Fluoride acids and salts work especially well as preparative agents in rinse and seal compositions. 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, or 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., AIF6−3 or AIF4−1), 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., TeF6−2 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., CoF62) 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 hydrofluoric acid solutions (HF) can also be used as a fluoride source. By analogy, organic compounds that readily release fluoride ions will also 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 dissolving the existing barrier film 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 above for the fluorides. By analogy, complex hexachlorozirconates (ZrC16−2), 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.
If used, the concentration of fluoride preparative agent should not exceed a value wherein the majority of the existing barrier layer should begin to be dissolved in the rinse or seal composition. This will result in reduced corrosion protection of the barrier film-trivalent cobalt/valence stabilizer system. A maximum recommended concentration of fluoride for these rinses and seals is typically 0.5 M F−. For some specialized applications, such as rinsing or sealing refractory metals such as titanium, zirconium, niobium, and tantalum, or for treating tenacious or thick oxides of magnesium or aluminum, fluoride concentrations as high as 5.0 M F− may be allowable.
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 rinse or sealing solution may be sufficient to form a Co+3-containing compound within the rinsed or sealed 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 rinsing or sealing of a barrier film may produce Co+3 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 initial rinse or seal process has been found to result in enhanced solubility control of Co+3 in many formulations.
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 rinse or seal solution, depleting it of cobalt prior to treating the work piece. In general, fine-tuning of solubility by 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 seal solution. Cationic species are necessary to deposit a Co+3/molybdate compound 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 rinse 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 a specific rinse or seal formulation upon different substrate materials (e.g., zinc, iron, magnesium) is likely a reflection of the influence that the composition of the alloy itself has upon the solubility of the deposited inhibitor species. Similarly, anions present in a rinse or seal 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.
The use of solubility control agents to enhance corrosion protection has also been demonstrated in the “state-of-the-art” hexavalent chromium solutions. For example, the sealing of anodic coatings with hexavalent chromium (resulting in the formation of somewhat soluble hydrated aluminum chromate) followed by rinsing with a zinc solution (resulting in the deposition of less-soluble zinc chromate in the pores) has been shown to increase the corrosion resistance for this system. However, hexavalent chromium rinsing of phosphate coatings over electrogalvanized steel does not require additional solubility control because of the initial formation of zinc chromate in the pores.
Additional solubility control can be achieved through the use of nontoxic 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+4, 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+5, Ta+5, Nb+4, Ta+4, Mo+6, W+6, Mo+5, W+5, M+4, W+4, Mn+2, Mn+3, Mn+4, Fe+2, Fe+3, Co+2, Co+3, Ru+2, Ru+3, Ru+4, Rh+3, 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 of non-toxic 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 rinse or seal 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. Nitrates and perchlorates of larger (higher molecular weight) organic cations are not 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 of toxic 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+1, 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 appropriate 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 typically used 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 rinse or seal 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, etc.).
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). Examples include, but are not limited to: ferricyanides; ferrocyanides; cyanocobaltates; cyanocuprates; cyanomanganates; cyanates; cyanatoferrates; cyanatocobaltates; cyanatocuprates; cyanatomanganates;

Water-soluble precursors for these organic anions are desirable to maximize the amount available in the appropriate rinse or seal solution.
Finally, toxic inorganic or organic anions can be used as additional solubility control agents, although this is less desirable. Examples of toxic inorganic anions include, but are not limited to: arsenates, arsenites, fluoroarsenates, chloroarsenates, selenates, selenites, fluorothallates, chlorothallates, iodomercury anions (e.g., Nessler's reagent), thiocyanatomercury anions (Behren's reagent), chloromercurates, bromomercurates, osmates, fluoronickelates, chromates, Reinecke's salt, and vanadates. Examples of toxic organic anions include cyanides; cyanochromates; cyanonickelates; cyanatochromates; cyanatonickelates; thiocyanatochromates; thiocyanatonickelates; cyanamidochromates; cyanamidonickelates; nitritonickelates; arsonates, diarsonates, or triarsonates [useful representatives including, but not limited to, propylarsonic acid, phenylarsonic acid, hydroxyphenylarsonic acid, benzenearsonic acid, methylbenzenearsonic acid, hydroxybenzenearsonic acid, and nitrobenzenearsonic acid]; and selenates, diselenates, or triselenates. These materials may be used in some specific instances for additional solubility control where coating bath toxicity is of limited importance. Water-soluble precursors for these anions are helpful in maximizing the amount of available anion for solubility control. The alkali or ammonium species of these anions typically offer the greatest water solubility.
6) Agents to Increase Lubricious Character of Coating
Iron and manganese phosphate coatings, as well as black oxide coatings, are used predominantly to provide a solid lubricant between two (or more) wear surfaces. A chrome rinse of these coatings can affect the tribological (lubricious) characteristics of the coating. Specifically, materials that exhibit low coefficients of friction, or that result in the formation of materials with low coefficients of friction, can be added to the rinse solution to increase the lubriciousness of the rinsed coating. Examples of these include fine particulate or dissolved molybdenum disulfide, graphite, fluorinated hydrocarbons, polymers, or soft metals such as tin, indium, or silver.
7) Agents to Increase Color-Fastness of Coating
Rinsed or sealed coatings that are to be used for architectural or adornment applications will frequently be colored to improve the aesthetic nature of the work piece. 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 rinse or seal 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, but are not limited to, carbon black, graphite, or phthalocyanines. Examples of passive UV blockers include, but are not limited to, titanium oxide, tin oxide, lead oxide, silicon oxide, silicates, or aluminosilicates, or combinations thereof.
The degree of color-fastness desired is strongly dependant upon the end use of the treated work piece. For example, metal pieces that have been phosphated or treated to obtain a black oxide coating often have lower ornamental requirements and, therefore, the requirements of the rinsing or sealing solutions are lower. Many anodized coatings, however, must meet very high ornamental requirements (especially for anodized aluminum), and the sealing solution must therefore meet these requirements. Even with anodized aluminum, the end use will dictate the degree of care required of the sealing solution. Thus, for parts that will only be exposed to interior light, a much wider selection of cobalt/valence stabilizer combinations will meet the ornamental requirements. For parts that will be exposed intermittently to UV light, as in automotive trim components, the choice of cobalt/valence stabilizer combinations is narrowed. Finally, work pieces that will be exposed to UV light on a continuous basis, such as architectural components, can only be treated with a limited number of cobalt/valence stabilizer combinations while still meeting the ornamental requirements.
The rinse or seal solution may also include wetting agents, such as nonionic surfactants at a concentration of 5 g/L, as well as agents that prevent smudging to improve the color-fastness of the coating. These agents are particularly useful on powdery coatings and can include, but are not limited to, phosphoric acid, metaphosphates, orthophosphates, pyrophosphates, or polyphosphates, or combinations thereof.
The color fastness of the treated coating will also be dependent upon the valence stabilizer. For example, the solubility of the valence stabilizer or cobalt/valence stabilizer complex to UV light; the concentration of the valence stabilizer in the sealing bath; and the degree of penetration into the coating.
B) Solution Composition and Preparation
Additional important process considerations include chemical concentrations, pH of the rinse or seal solution, redox potential of the rinse or seal solution, application temperature, and contact time.
1) Solvents
Water is a typical solvent for these rinse or seal 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. For sealing anodized aluminum, very high purity water will probably be required, and the concentrations of chloride, fluoride, sulfate, phosphate, and silicate should be minimized.
2) Cobalt Concentrations
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 rinse or seal solution. Therefore, the solubility of the cobalt sources in water at or near ambient temperature (25° C.) can be used as representative maximum concentrations 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 rinse or seal solution if the temperature of the bath is increased from ambient. However, cooling of these rinse or seal solutions with higher cobalt precursor concentrations will result in the precipitation of solid cobalt compounds, with no guarantee that they could be resolubilized if the water is again heated (due to evaporation).
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 rinse or seal solution at ambient temperature can be determined from the solubilities of some of the more desirable cobalt sources as listed in Table 4.

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 bath. 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 rinse or seal solution when treating a smaller surface area of metal, so more work pieces can be treated 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 5×10−4 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) rinse or seal solutions have been observed to degrade a coated surface and return cobalt to the rinse or seal solution. The lowest concentration of cobalt in the precursor rinse or seal baths from which some resultant corrosion inhibition will be exhibited is probably in the range of 1×10−3 to 1×10−5 moles/liter of cobalt. We used cobalt concentrations of approximately 1×10−1 mole/liter of cobalt with excellent results.
3) Valence Stabilizer Concentrations
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. If the valence stabilizer is also used to color the coating (i.e., an anodized aluminum), high concentrations will result in darker shades. 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 rinse or seal solutions, but this would result in precipitation if the solutions were allowed to cool. Table 5 shows the aqueous solubility of some of the more desirable sources for wide band inorganic valence stabilizers, and Table 6 shows the aqueous solubility of some sources of narrow band inorganic valence stabilizers.

The maximum concentration of organic valence stabilizers is also dependent upon 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 rinsed or sealed coating. 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 valence stabilizer-to-cobalt ratio is about 0.010, with ratios higher than 0.015 being typical.
4) Oxidizer Concentrations
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 rinse or seal solution. 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 solutions if the temperature is increased from ambient. Higher temperatures may lead to higher allowable concentrations of oxidizer precursors, but cooling of these solutions will result in reagent precipitation. Table 7 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 redox potential of the coating solutions tends to decrease slowly with time (e.g., several days), so these solutions require additions of oxidizer to maintain the redox potential. The net redox potential of the coating solution is also a function of the surface area of the metal that has been coated.
5) Preparative Agent Concentrations
The concentration of the optional preparative agent is also important for the rinse and sealing solutions. If used, the concentration of the fluoride should not exceed 0.5 M (up to 5.0 M F− can be used for some specialized applications, such as on anodized titanium or magnesium). Careful control of the available F− should be exercised so that excessive back-etching of the existing barrier layer (e.g., phosphate or hydroxide/oxide) does not occur. In some applications (i.e., anodized aluminum that is to be color dyed) it may be desirable to have no preparative agent at all. Solubility values for many fluorides (the typical preparative agent) are given in Table 8. 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.

6) Solubility Control Agent Concentrations
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) Rinse/Seal Solution pH
The rinse or seal solutions should have a slightly acidic or neutral pH so that a rise in pH caused by 1) interaction with the already-formed, hydrated barrier film (no preparative agent) or 2) barrier layer dissolution (with preparative agent) will result in a rise in local pore pH and the precipitation of the desired inhibitor species. Solution pH must not be so low that the pH rise during the rinsing or sealing process is insufficient to result in inhibitor precipitation. Very low pH values will result in excessive dissolution of the existing barrier film.
The maximum practical pH of the rinse or sealing solution is about 9, and the lowest practical pH is 0. Optimally, however, the pH of the rinse or sealing solutions should not be higher than about 8 or lower than about 1 or 2. For anodized aluminum that is to be colored, the pH range is from about 4.5 to about 6.5. The pH of the trivalent cobalt sealing or rinsing 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 oxidation-reduction (redox) potential of the rinse or sealing 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 diagram for cobalt and are shown in Table 9. Trivalent cobalt may be produced in solution at slightly lower redox values than those in Table 9 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 is used.
These redox potential can be achieved through chemical (or electrochemical) means. We have observed that the redox potential of these solutions will slowly drop over a period of several days. The redox potential of the rinse or sealing solution should be brought back up to those values shown in Table 9 if this occurs. Periodic evaluation of the redox potential of these solution can be achieved using ASTM D 1498 (Oxidation-Reduction Potential of Water) or comparable test procedures. The redox potential of any post-treatment solution that contains valence stabilizer or optional additional solubility control agent does not require control.
9) Application Temperature
The application temperature can be any temperature between the freezing and boiling points of the rinse or sealing solution, although temperatures at or near ambient (20-25° C.) are desirable in view of process economics. A typical temperature range is therefore 20 to 50° C. 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 the typical range (e.g., 50 to 100° C.) can be used, especially to increase the hydration of the existing barrier layer. This will lead to a much more rapid pH rise in the pores to be treated, thereby further enhancing inhibitor formation and precipitation. If coloring is desired (i.e., on anodized aluminum), higher sealing temperatures will result in darker shades. However, the economics associated with a substantial temperature increase over ambient must be balanced against the benefits derived from this additional energy expenditure, especially if less costly methods to reach the same performance (e.g., use of a preparative agent) are available.
10) Contact Time
The contact time for the solutions should be sufficient to allow the formation of a trivalent or tetravalent cobalt inhibitor species within the pores of the treated coating. A minimum contact time of about 1 minute under ambient conditions to an average time of about 5 minutes should be appropriate. A maximum contact time of 30 minutes may be acceptable under some circumstances (i.e., for anodized aluminum). Longer immersion times will result in darker shades on colored coatings. Rinse or sealing solutions kept in contact with the work piece for longer times did not appear to produce adverse effects on the test specimens.
C) General Application Process
The general process flow diagram for the application of the optimized trivalent or tetravalent cobalt rinse or seal solutions is as follows for a typical work piece:
a) Precleaning (if required)
b) Masking (if required)
c) Alkaline cleaning/rinsing; or other cleaning process
d) Deoxidizing/pickling/rinsing (if required)
e) Formation of barrier film (e.g., those listed in Table 1)
f) Rinsing (if required)
g) Application of trivalent or tetravalent cobalt rinsing or sealing solution
h) Rinsing (optional)
i) Post-coating treatment (if cobalt stabilizer or cobalt not included in original solution)
j) Rinsing
k) Hot water seal (optional)
l) Drying (if required)
m) Application of other coatings
Each of these processing steps are discussed briefly as follows:
a) Precleaning (If Required)
Heavy oils or greases on the part to be coated are removed using an appropriate technique, such as vapor degreasing.
b) Masking (If Required)
Any areas that are not to be coated with the barrier film are masked off using appropriate maskants. Any system component that may be adversely affected by the barrier film coating process should also be masked off.
c) Alkaline Cleaning/Rinsing
Alkaline cleaning is performed using appropriate alkaline cleaning solutions in accordance with manufacturers' specifications in order to remove small traces of oils or hydrocarbon contaminants on the metal surface. These alkaline cleaning solutions frequently require elevated temperatures for application. Following alkaline cleaning, the metal piece should be rinsed while reducing as much as possible the drag-out from the alkaline cleaning bath.
d) Deoxidizing/Pickling/Rinsing
Deoxidizing or pickling 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 or pickling, the metal piece is thoroughly rinsed while reducing as much as possible the drag-out from the deoxidizing bath.
e) Formation of Barrier Coating
The barrier coating is formed either through immersion, spray application, fogging, or manual application using methodologies that are described for each specific process. Table 1 of this invention describes some of the barrier film formation processes that can be treated using the embodiments contained herein.
f) Rinsing (If Required)
Standard rinse procedures are used. Rinsing after the formation of the barrier film is almost always necessary. For phosphate barrier films, this is especially important. This rinse helps to avoid blistering of any subsequently applied paint from residual phosphating solution, as well as to prevent contamination of the rinsing or sealing solution if the work piece is to be dipped. A thorough deionized water rinse, especially around holes or slots, or in crevices of the work piece, is frequently used. The temperature of these rinses is typically between 20 and 50° C., with exposure times of approximately 2 minutes. For some anodic coatings, agents such as bicarbonate, oxalic acid, or phthalic acid are sometimes added.
g) Application of Trivalent or Tetravalent Cobalt Rinsing or Sealing Solution
The rinsing or sealing solution is applied through immersion, spray application, fogging, or manual application using embodiments discussed herein.
h) Rinsing (Optional)
Rinsing is typical after application of the cobalt rinsing or sealing solution. In some instances (e.g., if a subsequent valence stabilizer or solubility control agent solution is to be applied), it may not be advisable to rinse.
i) Post-Coating Treatment
If the trivalent (or tetravalent) cobalt stabilizer is not included in the original rinse or sealing bath, then a second solution application (either by immersion, spray application, fogging, or manual application) is necessary. This second solution application would contain the cobalt valence stabilizer. If the valence stabilizer is contained in the first treatment (g) without cobalt, then the cobalt would be included in this treatment. Likewise, if additional solubility control is necessary, then this must be achieved through the application of a post-treatment solution.
j) Rinsing
Standard rinse procedures are used.
k) Hot Water Seal (Optional)
If further sealing of the coating (especially for anodic coatings) is desired, a hot water (>50° C.) seal using pure water can be applied. Bleaching of the coating to remove color can also be performed a this point.
l) Drying (If Required)
Standard drying method may be used.
m) Application of Other Coatings
Application of other coatings is performed at this time. For items that are to be used as wear materials (i.e., manganese or zinc phosphate or black oxide coatings from step e), this frequently involves an oil dip. For anodized coatings, a post-treatment composed of silicates, polymers, or lacquers is frequently applied.
While certain representative embodiments and details have been shown for purposes of illustrating the invention, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various changes in the compositions and methods disclosed herein may be made without departing from the scope of the invention, which is defined in the appended claims.
