Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for preparing phosphatable workpieces for non-cutting cold forming by acid pickling, rinsing, drying and treatment with acidic reaction lubricants containing phosphate ions.
- Acidic reaction lubricants have an oily character and are characterized in that, in addition to an organic lubricant, they contain constituents which are capable of forming a conversion coating on the surface of the workpiece to be formed (US Pat. Nos. 3,525,651, 2,739,915) , DE-B-21 02 295, EP-A-24 062, EP-A-25 236).
- the most important reaction lubricants in practice contain phosphoric acid or zinc phosphate as the component that forms the conversion coating. In the presence of phosphoric acid, the treatment of the workpieces to be reshaped essentially produces iron phosphate layers, and when using reaction phosphates containing zinc phosphate, conversion layers of zinc phosphate or zinc iron phosphate are used.
- reaction lubricants which are usually applied in dipping, produce a firmly integrated conversion coating on the surface of the workpiece, which ensures that there is a high degree of separation of the workpiece and the forming tool during the forming process takes place, on the other hand there is a firm bond of the organic lubricant on the workpiece surface.
- the subsequent processing of the workpieces which usually follows before contact with the reaction lubricant, is carried out by drying, if appropriate after rinsing again with an alkaline solution of an anti-rust agent such as borax, soda, nitrite, phosphate or sodium hydroxide solution or mixtures thereof. Drying is necessary because acidic reaction lubricants are sensitive to constant water entry.
- Reactive lubricant disadvantageous.
- the mere drying is associated with rust, which has an adverse effect on the phosphatability of the workpiece by the required density and adhesive strength of the phosphate layer is not guaranteed.
- the pre-drying rinsing with a solution of alkaline rust inhibitor is associated with a considerable introduction of salt into the acidic reaction lubricant, which on the one hand leads to considerable sludge formation and on the other hand reduces the functionality due to the constant introduction of alkaline substances.
- the layer formation is hindered because acidic reaction lubricants only stain the alkaline workpiece surface unevenly.
- the object of the invention is to provide a method for preparing phosphatable workpieces for non-cutting cold forming using acidic reaction lubricants, which does not have the aforementioned disadvantages, in which the workpieces are introduced into the process step of treatment with the acidic reaction lubricant in a rust-free state, and in which the acidic reaction lubricant can be acted upon properly without adversely affecting it.
- the object is achieved by designing the method of the type mentioned at the outset in accordance with the invention in such a way that the workpieces are rinsed with a solution which contains lactic acid and has a pH below 3 before drying.
- Workpieces that can be phosphated for cold forming consist in particular of steel in the form of wire, tube, profiles, round blanks, etc., which are formed by drawing, cold extrusion, rolling, etc.
- the pH value can be set below 3 using lactic acid alone. For cost reasons, however, it is advisable to use phosphoric acid and / or sulfuric acid to adjust the pH. According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, phosphoric acid is preferred since the finally applied reaction lubricant contains phosphate ions and consequently the phosphate ions derived from the phosphoric acid are unavoidably introduced with the flushing solution.
- a preferred embodiment of the invention provides for rinsing the workpieces with a solution which contains 1 to 50 g / 1 lactic acid.
- Lactic acid concentration outside the preferred range leads to usable lactate layers, lactic acid concentrations in the preferred range result in lactate layers which are particularly advantageous with regard to corrosion protection and activation of the lubricating layer formation.
- Another expedient embodiment of the invention is to rinse the workpieces with a solution which contains lactic acid and phosphoric acid in a weight ratio of 1: 9 to 9: 1. This configuration is particularly advantageous taking into account both the layer quality and the cost situation.
- the solution containing lactic acid can be rinsed at a solution temperature of 20 to 90 ° C. According to a further advantageous embodiment of the invention, it is advisable to rinse the workpieces with a solution at a temperature of 60 to 80 ° C.
- the invention is illustrated by the following example.
- Tubes of steel quality St34 / 2 bright annealed under protective gas at approx. 920 ° C were initially contained in a pickling solution of 50 ° C
- the tubes were then allowed to air dry and treated with the residual moisture adhering in a conventional manner with an acidic reaction lubricant containing phosphate ions and formed by tube drawing.
