Abstract

A process for the electrophoretic application of self-cleaning enamel systems free form aluminium on sheet steel by the two layered/single stoving process, comprising applying a base layer in a thickness of 80 to 120 mu m to a steel substrate, and then applying a top coat to said base coat, said top comprising an enamel suspension having a specific conductivity adjusted to a value below 2000 mu S.cm-1.

Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein verbessertes Ver­fahren zur elektrophoretischen Abscheidung von selbst­reinigenden Emailschichten, bei dem zunächst eine Grund­emailschicht auf das Stahlblechteil abgeschieden, dann die Deckemailschicht aufgebracht und beide Schichten gemeinsam eingebrannt werden.The present invention relates to an improved method for electrophoretic deposition of self-cleaning enamel layers, in which first a base enamel layer is deposited on the sheet steel part, then the cover enamel layer is applied and both layers are baked together.

Der Emailauftrag mittels Elektrotauchemaillierung (Elek­trophorese, sog. ETE-Verfahren) ist bekannt. Produktions­anlagen unterschiedlicher Bauart - in erster Linie für Hausgeräteteile - sind in der Literatur beschrieben (vgl. z.B. Warnke, F. Kaup Maschinenmarkt 80 (l974), S. 4 oder H. Hoffmann, Mitteilungen des VDEFa 24 (l976) S. l3 und 29 (l98l) S. l07). Normalerweise ist die Elek­trotauchemaillierung auf den Auftrag einer einzigen Schicht beschränkt, da sie einen leitenden, metallischen Untergrund voraussetzt.The email application by means of electro-dip enamelling (electrophoresis, so-called ETE process) is known. Production systems of different designs - primarily for household appliance parts - are described in the literature (see e.g. Warnke, F. Kaup Maschinenmarkt 80 (l974), p. 4 or H. Hoffmann, Mitteilungen der VDEFa 24 (l976) p. 13 and 29 (l98l) p. l07). Electrodeposition enamelling is normally limited to the application of a single layer, since it requires a conductive, metallic surface.

Eine einmal gebrannte Emaillierung kann nicht mehr elek­trophoretisch weiterbeschichtet werden.Once enamelled, it can no longer be coated electrophoretically.

Durch Elektroosmose entsteht während des Auftrags eine Verfestigung der abgeschiedenen Schicht, die ein an­schließendes Abspülen lose anhaftender Teilchen und unter bestimmten Voraussetzungen wie z.B. genügend feste Abscheidung sowie hinsichtlich Aufschmelzverhalten und Grenzflächenreaktionen abgestimmte Produkte sogar den Auftrag einer weiteren Schicht auf diesem Untergrund ermöglicht. Bei Produktkombinationen mit guter Elektro­tauchabscheidung beider Systeme kann diese zweite Schicht dann auch wieder elektrophoretisch abgeschieden werden.Electro-osmosis solidifies the deposited layer during application, which then rinses off loosely adhering particles and under certain conditions, e.g. sufficient solid deposition and products coordinated with regard to melting behavior and interfacial reactions even allow the application of a further layer on this substrate. In the case of product combinations with good electrodeposition of both systems, this second layer can then also be deposited electrophoretically.

Diese Verfahrensweise ist jedoch relativ störanfällig und bei den bis jetzt betriebenen Verfahren traten immer wieder Emaillierfehler (Oberflächenstörungen durch elek­trolytisch bedingte Bläschenbildungen, ungleichmäßige Beschichtungen bis zum Abheben der gesamten Schicht durch Gasblasen) auf.However, this procedure is relatively susceptible to faults, and enamelling errors repeatedly occurred in the processes operated up to now (surface defects due to electrolytically caused bubbles, uneven coatings until the entire layer was lifted off by gas bubbles).

Überraschenderweise wurde nun gefunden, daß man die oben­genannten Nachteile vermeiden kann, wenn bei der Her­stellung der Emailschichten bestimmte Bedingungen einge­halten werden. So hat sich z.B. herausgestellt, daß ein elektrophoretischer Grundauftrag zwischen etwa 80 und l20 µm Schichtdicke beim anschließenden Aufbringen konti­nuierlich selbstreinigender Systeme wesentlich bessere Emailqualitäten ermöglicht. Dies war umso überraschender, da bisher die Grundschicht bei solchen Zweischicht/ein Brand-Emaillierungen wesentlich dünner (ca. 20 - 40 µm) aufgetragen werden mußte, um gute Ergebnisse hinsicht­lich der Oberflächenqualität der Deckemaillierung zu erhalten.Surprisingly, it has now been found that the above-mentioned disadvantages can be avoided if certain conditions are observed in the production of the enamel layers. It has been found, for example, that an electrophoretic basic application of between about 80 and 120 μm layer thickness enables substantially better enamel qualities when subsequently applying continuously self-cleaning systems. This was all the more surprising, since previously the base layer had to be applied much thinner (approx. 20 - 40 µm) in such two-layer / fire enamels in order to obtain good results with regard to the surface quality of the top enamel.

Ferner wurde gefunden, daß wesentlich einheitlichere und weniger Fehler aufweisende Beschichtungen erzielt werden können, wenn man die spez. Leitfähigkeit der Deckemail­suspension so einstellt, daß ein Wert von etwa 2000 µS.cm⁻¹ nicht überschritten wird. Bei den bisher bekannten ETE-­Verfahren werden Schlickerleitfähigkeiten von ca. 2500 - ­3000 µS.cm⁻¹ für eine ausreichend gleichmäßige Ab­scheidung benötigt.It was also found that much more uniform and less error-prone coatings can be achieved if the spec. Adjust the conductivity of the ceiling email suspension so that a value of about 2000 µS.cm⁻¹ is not exceeded. In the previously known ETE processes, slip conductivities of approx. 2500 - 3000 µS.cm⁻¹ are required for a sufficiently uniform deposition.

Gegenstand der vorliegenden Erfindung ist daher ein Ver­fahren zum elektrophoretischen Aufbau kontinuierlich selbstreinigender Systeme auf Stahlblech im Zweischicht/­ein Braund-Verfahren, welches dadurch gekennzeichnet ist, daß man die Grundschicht in einer Schichtstärke zwischen 80 und l20 µm aufbringt und bei der Abscheidung der Deck­emailsuspension die spez. Leitfähigkeit auf weniger als 2000 µS.cm⁻¹ eingestellt.The present invention therefore relates to a process for the electrophoretic construction of continuously self-cleaning systems on sheet steel in a two-layer / a Braund process, which is characterized in that the base layer is applied in a layer thickness between 80 and 120 μm and the spec . Conductivity set to less than 2000 µS.cm⁻¹.

Das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren wird bevorzugt für die Herstellung von kontinuierlich selbstreinigenden Herd­innenteilen eingesetzt. Als Grundschicht kommen dabei be­vorzugt säurebeständige Direktemails infrage.The method according to the invention is preferably used for the production of continuously self-cleaning inner parts of the stove. Acid-resistant direct emails are preferred as the base layer.

Als zusätzlichen technischen Vorteil bringt die Arbeits­weise mit dickeren Grundschichten gute Kombinationsmög­lichkeiten selbstreinigender Emaillierungen im Zweischicht/­ein Brand-Verfahren mit normalen Grundbeschichtungen oder unterschiedlich eingefärbten säurebeständigen Direkt­emaillierungen in einer Anlage. Z.B. können 70 % der Teile nur einen Auftrag erhalten und dann gebrannt werden, 30 % der Teile durchlaufen nach unverändertem Durchlauf der l. Beschichtungsstation dann das 2. Beschichtungs­becken.As an additional technical advantage, working with thicker base layers offers good combinations of self-cleaning enamels in two layers / a fire process with normal base coatings or differently colored acid-resistant direct enamels in one system. For example, 70% of the parts can only receive one order and then be burned, 30% of the parts go through after an unchanged run the l. Coating station then the 2nd coating basin.

Als Ausgangsmaterialien eignen sich für die erste Schicht alle ETE-tauglichen, an sich bekannten Grundemails oder Spezialemails, deren Schlicker nach der Vermahlung - vor der Zugabe von Na-Aluminat - eine spez. Leitfähigkeit von 2000 µS.cm⁻¹ nicht überschreitet.Suitable starting materials for the first layer are all ETE-compatible, known basic emails or special emails, whose slip after grinding - before adding Na aluminate - a spec. Conductivity does not exceed 2000 µS.cm⁻¹.

Als zweite Schicht eignen sich alle an sich bekannten Al-freien Systeme mit selbstreinigenden Eigenschaften.All known Al-free systems with self-cleaning properties are suitable as a second layer.

Das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren wird in einer allgemeinen Ausführungsform etwa wie folgt ansgeführt:In a general embodiment, the process according to the invention is given approximately as follows:

Teile aus emaillierfähigem Stahlblech werden zunächst durch chemisch und/oder elektrolytische Schritte - eventuell mit Ultraschallunterstützung - entfettet, mit H₂O gespült, in saurer Lösung aktiviert, abermals gespült und anschließend im l. Auftragsbecken mit einer Grundschicht elektropho­retisch beschichtet (Beschichtungszeit etwa 7 - 8 Sekunden).Parts made of enameable steel sheet are first degreased by chemical and / or electrolytic steps - possibly with ultrasound support -, rinsed with H₂O, activated in acidic solution, rinsed again and then in l. Application basin electrophoretically coated with a base layer (coating time approx. 7-8 seconds).

Nach einer sorgfältigen Zwischenspülung erfolgt in einem 2. Auftragsbecken der elektrophoretische Aufbau der selbst­reinigenden Schicht (Expositionszeit etwa l5 Sekunden). Nach Abspülen lose anhaftender, nicht elektrophoretisch abgeschiedener Teilchen erfolgt der Einbrand (8l0 - 840°C, Verweilzeiten etwa 2,5 bis 4 min.) - Die exakten Einbrenn­bedingungen richten sich nach der Blechstärke, den ausge­wählten Emails bzw. dem Gewicht der Teile.After careful intermediate rinsing, the electrophoretic build-up of the self-cleaning layer is carried out in a second application basin (exposure time about 15 seconds). After loosely adhering, non-electrophoretically separated particles are rinsed in (8l0 - 840 ° C, residence times about 2.5 to 4 min.) - The exact baking conditions depend on the sheet thickness, the selected enamels and the weight of the parts.
