Abstract

Treatment of the surfaces belonging to a metal substrate of any shape, but preferably in the form of sheet steel, characterised in that a metal coating bath is employed, to which one or more specified elements have been added and in that the metal coating obtained is subjected to a surface treatment the effect of which is to generate on the coating obtained an additional protective layer made up of stable compounds.

Description

La présente invention concerne un procédé de traitement superficiel de surfaces protégées par un revêtement métallique et appartenant à un substrat métallique de forme quelconque, mais se présentant de préférence sous forme de tôles d'acier.The present invention relates to a method of surface treatment of surfaces protected by a metal coating and belonging to a metal substrate of any shape, but preferably in the form of steel sheets.

Il est connu depuis longtemps de protéger les matériaux métalliques, susceptibles d'être attaqués par la corrosion, au moyen de revêtements métalliques (par exemple de zinc, d'étain, d'aluminium, etc...).It has long been known to protect metallic materials which are susceptible to corrosion attack by means of metallic coatings (for example zinc, tin, aluminum, etc.).

Toutefois, l'emploi de matériaux d'acier à revêtement métallique, par exemple de zinc, dans des conditions rigoureuses au point de vue du milieu corrosif concerné, a permis de montrer qu'un seul revêtement métallique traditionnel, ou comme par exemple un seul revêtement de zinc, n'a pas été en mesure de résoudre tous les problèmes posés par la corrosion et de satisfaire les conditions imposées.However, the use of steel materials with metallic coating, for example zinc, under rigorous conditions from the point of view of the corrosive medium concerned, made it possible to show that a single traditional metallic coating, or for example a single zinc coating, was not able to solve all the problems posed by corrosion and to satisfy the conditions imposed.

C'est ainsi qu'un matériau à revêtement de zinc est habituellement soumis à un traitement superficiel de transformation (par exemple une chromatation et une phosphatation) appropriée pour le zinc et ce, après l'application du revêtement de zinc pour retarder l'apparition de rouille blanche sur le dépôt de zinc.For example, a zinc-coated material is usually subjected to a surface transformation treatment (for example, chromating and phosphating) suitable for zinc, after the application of the zinc coating to delay the appearance of white rust on the zinc deposit.

De même, on applique aussi généralement, en plus du traitement de transformation, un revêtement de peinture compatible avec le zinc, afin d'améliorer la résistance à la corrosion et l'aspect décoratif.Likewise, a coating of zinc-compatible paint is also generally applied, in addition to the transformation treatment, in order to improve the corrosion resistance and the decorative appearance.

La mise au point d'alliages comme par exemple de zinc et d'aluminium n'a pas apporté des solutions définitives à ces problèmes, mais il est connu que lamise en oeuvre de ce type de revêtement exige une préparation de surface plus poussée et qui présente l'inconvénient d'être fort coûteuse.The development of alloys such as, for example, zinc and aluminum has not provided definitive solutions to these problems, but it is known that the implementation of this type of coating requires more extensive surface preparation which has the disadvantage of being very expensive.

Le procédé, objet de la présente invention, est basé sur des travaux ayant trait à l'analyse de la structure des couches de revêtements.The process which is the subject of the present invention is based on work relating to the analysis of the structure of the coating layers.

Les différents essais effectués sur les revêtements obtenus à partir de bains métalliques divers, auxquels on a ajouté certains éléments bien définis, ont permis de constater un phénomène de concentration de ces éléments dans certaines couches privilégiées des revêtements, à savoir les couches externes par rapport au substrat revêtu.The various tests carried out on the coatings obtained from various metal baths, to which certain well-defined elements have been added, have made it possible to note a phenomenon of concentration of these elements in certain preferred layers of the coatings, namely the external layers with respect to the coated substrate.

Des travaux ultérieurs ont pu définir un procédé qui exploite ce phénomène de concentration de ces éléments dans certaines couches localisées du revêtement et permet de créer 10 une couche protectrice supplémentaire et ce par l'application d'un traitement thermique et/ou chimique sur la surface du revêtement métallique formé à partir du bain métallique précité.Subsequent work has been able to define a process which exploits this phenomenon of concentration of these elements in certain localized layers of the coating and makes it possible to create 10 an additional protective layer, this by applying a heat and / or chemical treatment to the surface of the metal coating formed from the aforementioned metal bath.

Le procédé, objet de la présente invention, est essentiellement caractérisé en ce que l'on utilise un bain métallique de revêtement auquel on a ajouté un ou plusieurs éléments déterminés et en ce que l'on fait subir au revêtement métallique obtenu un traitement supérficiel qui a pour effet d'engendrer sur le revêtement obtenu une couche supplémentaire de protection formée de composés stables.The process which is the subject of the present invention is essentially characterized in that a metallic coating bath is used to which one or more determined elements have been added and in that the metallic coating obtained is subjected to a surface treatment which has the effect of generating on the coating obtained an additional protective layer formed of stable compounds.

Une première variante du procédé de l'invention consiste à utiliser un bain métallique contenant du zinc.A first variant of the process of the invention consists in using a metal bath containing zinc.

Une deuxième variante du procédé, objet de la présente invention, consiste à utiliser un bain métallique contenant du zinc et de l'aluminium.A second variant of the process which is the subject of the present invention consists in using a metal bath containing zinc and aluminum.

Suivant une autre variante du procédé de la présente invention, la teneur en Al du bain métallique d'origine précitée est inférieure à 0,4 %en poids.According to another variant of the process of the present invention, the Al content of the above-mentioned original metal bath is less than 0.4% by weight.

Une autre modalité d'application du procédé suivant l'invention, consiste à utiliser un bain métallique contenant un ou plusieurs des éléments suivants : Zn, Al, Mg, Pb, Sb.Another method of applying the method according to the invention consists in using a metal bath containing one or more of the following elements: Zn, Al, Mg, Pb, Sb.

Dans une autre variante de mise en oeuvre du procédé de l'invention, le ou les éléments déterminés que l'on a ajouté au bain métallique sont sélectionnés parmi les suivants : Al, Be, Ce, Cr, La, Mn, Mo, Si, Ta, Ti, Te, Th.In another variant implementation of the method of the invention, the determined element or elements which have been added to the metal bath are selected from the following: Al, Be, Ce, Cr, La, Mn, Mo, Si , Ta, Ti, Te, Th.

Une sixième modalité de mise en oeuvre du procédé, consiste à faire subir au revêtement métallique, un traitement superficiel thermique destiné à former des composés stables à sa surface.A sixth method of implementing the process consists in subjecting the metal coating to a thermal surface treatment intended to form stable compounds on its surface.

Une septième modalité de mise en oeuvre du procédé consiste à faire subir au revêtement métallique formé, un traitement sous atmosphère contrôlée en vue de former des composés stables à sa surface.A seventh method of implementing the method consists in subjecting the metallic coating formed to a treatment under a controlled atmosphere with a view to forming stable compounds on its surface.

Suivant une autre variante du procédé objet de l'invention, on applique au revêtement métallique formé un traitement qui met en oeuvre une solution chimique telle qu'il y a formation de composés stables à sa surface.According to another variant of the process which is the subject of the invention, a treatment is applied to the metallic coating formed which uses a chemical solution such that there is formation of stable compounds on its surface.

Suivant une dernière modalité de mise en oeuvre du procédé de l'invention, les composés stables formés à la surface du revêtement métallique font intervenir un ou plusieurs des éléments déterminés ajoutés au bain métallique de revêtement.According to a final method of implementing the process of the invention, the stable compounds formed on the surface of the metallic coating involve one or more of the determined elements added to the metallic coating bath.
