Description
本発明は銅‐亜鉛合金電気めっき浴(以下、単に「めっき浴」とも称す)に関し、詳しくは、耐腐食性が向上した銅‐亜鉛合金めっき層を形成することができ、かつ、目的組成を有する均一で光沢のある銅‐亜鉛合金めっき層を幅広い電流密度で得ることができる銅‐亜鉛合金電気めっき浴に関する。 The present invention relates to a copper-zinc alloy electroplating bath (hereinafter, also simply referred to as “plating bath”). The present invention relates to a copper-zinc alloy electroplating bath capable of obtaining a uniform and shiny copper-zinc alloy plating layer with a wide current density.
現在、銅‐亜鉛合金めっきは、金属製品、プラスチック製品、セラミック製品等に真鍮色の金属光沢および色調を与えるため、装飾めっきとして工業的に広く用いられている。しかし、従来のめっき浴はシアン化合物を多量に含んでいるため、その毒性が大きな問題となっており、また、含シアン化合物廃液の処理負担も大きなものであった。 At present, copper-zinc alloy plating is widely used industrially as decorative plating in order to give a metallic luster and color tone of brass color to metal products, plastic products, ceramic products and the like. However, since the conventional plating bath contains a large amount of cyanide, its toxicity is a big problem, and the treatment load of the cyanide-containing waste liquid is also large.
かかる解決手段として、今日、シアン化合物を用いない銅‐亜鉛合金めっき方法が多数報告されている。例えば、逐次めっき方法は、黄銅めっきを被めっき製品に施すための実際的な方法であり、かかる方法においては、電着によって銅めっき層と亜鉛めっき層が被めっき製品表面に順次めっきされ、ついで、熱拡散工程が施される。逐次黄銅めっき方法の場合、ピロリン酸銅めっき溶液と酸性の硫酸亜鉛めっき溶液が通常使用されている(例えば、特許文献1)。 As a solution to this problem, many copper-zinc alloy plating methods that do not use cyanide have been reported today. For example, the sequential plating method is a practical method for applying brass plating to a product to be plated. In such a method, a copper plating layer and a zinc plating layer are sequentially plated on the surface of the product to be plated by electrodeposition. A thermal diffusion process is performed. In the sequential brass plating method, a copper pyrophosphate plating solution and an acidic zinc sulfate plating solution are usually used (for example, Patent Document 1).
また、錯化剤として酒石酸やグルコヘプトン酸を添加した硫酸銅および硫酸亜鉛を金属源とした浴を用いためっき浴が提案されている(例えば、特許文献2)。
しかしながら、特許文献1に記載されているような逐次めっき方法では、銅めっき層形成工程、亜鉛めっき層形成工程および熱拡散工程、と処理工程が多く、複雑であるため、作業効率が悪いという欠点がある。また、特許文献2に記載されている方法を用いた場合、シアン浴のような毒性の問題は解消するが、通常、pHが11以上という高pH領域でめっき処理がなされるため、元来低pH領域で良好なめっき層が得られる硫酸金属塩を浴中に含有している場合は、めっき層の付着力の低下が発生するという問題がある。 However, in the sequential plating method as described in Patent Document 1, there are many copper plating layer forming step, galvanized layer forming step and thermal diffusion step, and processing steps, and the process is complicated, so that the work efficiency is poor. There is. Further, when the method described in Patent Document 2 is used, the problem of toxicity such as a cyan bath is solved. However, since the plating treatment is usually performed in a high pH region where the pH is 11 or more, it is originally low. When the metal sulfate containing a good plating layer in the pH region is contained in the bath, there is a problem that the adhesion of the plating layer is reduced.
また、めっき層内にカルボン酸基を有する有機化合物が取り込まれることで、めっき下地金属が露出した際に、大気中の酸素および水分により銅‐亜鉛合金めっき層と下地金属との間で発生する腐食を促進するという問題も有している。 In addition, when an organic compound having a carboxylic acid group is incorporated into the plating layer, it is generated between the copper-zinc alloy plating layer and the base metal due to oxygen and moisture in the atmosphere when the plating base metal is exposed. It also has the problem of promoting corrosion.
そこで本発明の目的は、耐腐食性が向上した銅‐亜鉛合金めっき層を形成することができ、かつ、目的組成を有する均一で光沢のある銅‐亜鉛合金めっき層を幅広い電流密度で得ることができる銅‐亜鉛合金電気めっき浴を提供することにある。 Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to form a copper-zinc alloy plating layer with improved corrosion resistance and to obtain a uniform and shiny copper-zinc alloy plating layer having a target composition with a wide current density. An object of the present invention is to provide a copper-zinc alloy electroplating bath.
本発明者らは、上記課題を解決するために鋭意検討した結果、銅‐亜鉛合金電気めっき浴の構成を下記のとおりとすることにより、上記目的を達成することができることを見出し、本発明を完成するに至った。 As a result of intensive studies to solve the above problems, the present inventors have found that the above object can be achieved by configuring the copper-zinc alloy electroplating bath as follows. It came to be completed.

以下、本発明の好適な実施の形態について詳細に説明する。
本発明の銅‐亜鉛合金電気めっき浴は、銅塩と、亜鉛塩と、ピロリン酸イオンとを含有する銅‐亜鉛合金めっき浴である。本発明においては、めっき浴中に含まれる銅イオンおよび亜鉛イオンの総容積モル濃度M(mol/L)と添加するピロリン酸イオンの容積モル濃度P(mol/L)の比(P/M)を2.0〜3.2の範囲とすることが重要である。ピロリン酸イオンを錯化剤として用いることにより、めっき下地金属が露出した際の腐食を有機化合物が促進するというという問題を解決することができる。
Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail.
The copper-zinc alloy electroplating bath of the present invention is a copper-zinc alloy plating bath containing a copper salt, a zinc salt, and pyrophosphate ions. In the present invention, the ratio (P / M) of the total molar volume M (mol / L) of copper ions and zinc ions contained in the plating bath to the molar volume P (mol / L) of pyrophosphate ions to be added. Is in the range of 2.0 to 3.2. By using pyrophosphate ions as a complexing agent, it is possible to solve the problem that the organic compound promotes corrosion when the plating base metal is exposed.
また、P/Mの範囲を2.0〜3.2とすることで、光沢のある均一な銅‐亜鉛合金めっき層を、低電流密度から高電流密度の範囲で得ることができる。本発明の効果を良好に得るためには、P/Mの範囲は、好適には2.5〜3.0である。 Moreover, by setting the range of P / M to 2.0 to 3.2, a glossy and uniform copper-zinc alloy plating layer can be obtained in a range of low current density to high current density. In order to obtain the effect of the present invention satisfactorily, the range of P / M is preferably 2.5 to 3.0.
銅塩としては、めっき浴の銅イオン源として公知のものであればいずれも使用可能であり、例えば、ピロリン酸銅、硫酸銅、塩化第2銅、スルファミン酸銅、酢酸第2銅、塩基性炭酸銅、臭化第2銅、ギ酸銅、水酸化銅、酸化第2銅、リン酸銅、ケイフッ化銅、ステアリン酸銅、クエン酸第2銅等を挙げることができ、これらのうち1種のみを用いてもよいし、2種以上を用いてもよい。 Any copper salt can be used as long as it is a known copper ion source for a plating bath. For example, copper pyrophosphate, copper sulfate, cupric chloride, copper sulfamate, cupric acetate, basic Examples include copper carbonate, cupric bromide, copper formate, copper hydroxide, cupric oxide, copper phosphate, copper fluorosilicate, copper stearate, cupric citrate, etc., one of these May be used alone, or two or more of them may be used.
亜鉛塩としては、めっき浴の亜鉛イオン源として公知のものであればいずれも使用可能であり、例えば、ピロリン酸亜鉛、硫酸亜鉛、塩化亜鉛、スルファミン酸亜鉛、酸化亜鉛、酢酸亜鉛、臭化亜鉛、塩基性炭酸亜鉛、シュウ酸亜鉛、リン酸亜鉛、ケイフッ化亜鉛、ステアリン酸亜鉛、乳酸亜鉛等を挙げることができ、これらのうち1種のみを用いてもよいし、2種以上を用いてもよい。 Any zinc salt may be used as long as it is a known zinc ion source for a plating bath. For example, zinc pyrophosphate, zinc sulfate, zinc chloride, zinc sulfamate, zinc oxide, zinc acetate, zinc bromide , Basic zinc carbonate, zinc oxalate, zinc phosphate, zinc fluorosilicate, zinc stearate, zinc lactate, etc., and only one of these may be used, or two or more may be used. Also good.
ピロリン酸イオン源としては、公知のものであればいずれでも使用可能であり、例えば、そのナトリウム塩、カリウム塩等を挙げることができる。 As the pyrophosphate ion source, any known one can be used, and examples thereof include a sodium salt and a potassium salt thereof.
また、本発明においては、銅イオンおよび亜鉛イオンの総容積モル濃度M(mol/L)が0.03〜0.50(mol/L)の範囲であることが好ましい。総容積モル濃度Mが0.03(mol/L)未満であると、銅の析出が優先されてしまい、均一な銅‐亜鉛合金めっき層を得ることが難しくなる。一方、総容積モル濃度M(mol/L)が0.50(mol/L)を超えると、銅‐亜鉛合金めっき層表面に十分な光沢が得られなくなってしまう。 Moreover, in this invention, it is preferable that the total volume molar concentration M (mol / L) of a copper ion and a zinc ion is the range of 0.03-0.50 (mol / L). If the total volume molarity M is less than 0.03 (mol / L), copper deposition is prioritized, making it difficult to obtain a uniform copper-zinc alloy plating layer. On the other hand, when the total volume molar concentration M (mol / L) exceeds 0.50 (mol / L), sufficient gloss cannot be obtained on the surface of the copper-zinc alloy plating layer.
さらに、本発明においては、めっき浴のpHは5〜10の範囲であることが好ましい。pHが10を超えると、めっき液が不安定となり沈殿物が生じてしまい、均一な銅‐亜鉛合金めっき層を得ることが難しくなる。一方、pHが5未満になると、ピロリン酸が加水分解され、やはり、均一な銅‐亜鉛合金めっき層を良好に得ることができなくなってしまう。また、pHを5〜10の範囲とすることで、硫酸金属塩による銅‐亜鉛合金めっき層の付着率を向上させることが可能となるという効果も得られる。 Furthermore, in this invention, it is preferable that pH of a plating bath is the range of 5-10. If the pH exceeds 10, the plating solution becomes unstable and precipitates are formed, making it difficult to obtain a uniform copper-zinc alloy plating layer. On the other hand, when the pH is less than 5, pyrophosphoric acid is hydrolyzed, so that a uniform copper-zinc alloy plating layer cannot be obtained satisfactorily. Moreover, the effect that it becomes possible to improve the adhesion rate of the copper-zinc alloy plating layer by a sulfate metal salt by making pH into the range of 5-10 is also acquired.
本発明の銅‐亜鉛合金電気めっき浴を使用して銅‐亜鉛合金めっき処理を施すに際しては、通常の電気めっき方法を採用することができる。例えば、浴温30〜40℃程度、無攪拌下あるいは機械攪拌下又は空気攪拌下で電気めっきすればよい。この際、陽極としては、通常の銅‐亜鉛合金の電気めっきに用いられるものであれば、いずれも使用できる。本発明の銅‐亜鉛合金電気めっき浴を用いることにより、耐腐食性が向上した銅‐亜鉛合金めっき層を形成することができ、かつ、目的組成を有する均一で光沢のある銅‐亜鉛合金めっき層を幅広い電流密度で得ることが可能となる。 In performing the copper-zinc alloy plating treatment using the copper-zinc alloy electroplating bath of the present invention, a normal electroplating method can be employed. For example, electroplating may be performed at a bath temperature of about 30 to 40 ° C. with no stirring, mechanical stirring, or air stirring. At this time, any anode can be used as long as it can be used for electroplating of a normal copper-zinc alloy. By using the copper-zinc alloy electroplating bath of the present invention, a copper-zinc alloy plating layer with improved corrosion resistance can be formed, and a uniform and glossy copper-zinc alloy plating having a target composition can be formed. Layers can be obtained with a wide range of current densities.
上記銅‐亜鉛合金電気めっき処理を行う前に、被めっき体には、常法に従ってバフ研磨、脱脂、希酸浸漬等の通常の前処理を施すことができ、あるいは光沢ニッケルめっき等の下地めっきを施すことも可能である。また、銅‐亜鉛合金めっき処理後には、水洗、湯洗、乾燥等の通常行われている操作を行ってもよく、さらに必要に応じて、重クロム酸希薄溶液への浸漬、クリヤー塗装等を行ってもよい。 Before performing the copper-zinc alloy electroplating treatment, the object to be plated can be subjected to normal pretreatment such as buffing, degreasing, dilute acid immersion, etc. according to a conventional method, or base plating such as bright nickel plating. It is also possible to apply. In addition, after the copper-zinc alloy plating treatment, usual operations such as water washing, hot water washing and drying may be performed, and if necessary, immersion in a dichromate dilute solution, clear coating, etc. You may go.
本発明においては、被めっき体としては特に制限されず、通常、銅‐亜鉛合金めっき処理が施されるものであれば、いずれでも使用でき、例えば、金属コードの製造に用いられる金属ワイヤ等の金属製品や、プラスチック製品、セラミックス製品等を挙げることができる。これらには、銅‐亜鉛合金めっき処理を施す前に、常法に従って下地めっきを施すのが好ましい。 In the present invention, the material to be plated is not particularly limited, and any metal can be used as long as it is usually subjected to a copper-zinc alloy plating treatment, such as a metal wire used for the production of a metal cord. Examples include metal products, plastic products, and ceramic products. These are preferably subjected to base plating according to a conventional method before the copper-zinc alloy plating treatment.
