Zusammenfassung

Da der Einsatz von Chrom(VI)-Verbindungen in der Automobil- und Elektronikindustrie weitgehend verboten ist, sind in den vergangenen Jahren viele verschiedene Chrom-freie Konversionsschichten entwickelt worden. In dieser Arbeit wurden verschiedene Cr-freie Phosphat- und Polycarboxylat basierte Konversionsschichten (Passivierungen) für die Anwendung als multifunktionale Korrosionsschutzschicht für feuerverzinktes Stahlband, mit Hilfe der Elektronenmikroskopie, EDX und Elektrochemie, charakterisiert. Die Korrosionsbeständigkeit im neutralen Salzsprühnebeltest der verschiedenen Konversionsschichten (Phosphat- und Polycarboxylatschichten) auf ZM- (ZnAlMg) und Z (Zn)-Substraten war ein weiteres Thema dieser Arbeit. Zusätzlich wurden die Konversionsschichten und deren Barriereschutzeigenschaften auf Zink und Zink Magnesium mit der Zyklovoltammetrie untersucht.

Summary

Since the use of hexavalent chromium in automotive and electronic equipment is largely prohibited, many different hexavalent chromium free conversion layers have been developed. In this work, different Cr-free phosphate and polycarboxylate based conversion coatings were characterized (with electron microscopy and other surface analytical methods) for the usage of a multifunctional property layer for hot dip galvanised steel strips. The different corrosion resistance of such conversion coatings on ZM (ZnAlMg) and Z (Zn) will be another topic of this paper. The corrosion protection properties of these phosphate based conversion coatings on Z and ZM were characterized in a standardized salt spray test. Finally the conversion layers and the barrier protection effect on Cr-free treated zinc and zinc magnesium was investigated by cyclovoltammetry.
