Princeton Junction, N.J., assignors to FMC Corporation, New York, N.Y. No Drawing. Filed Mar. 1, 1971, Ser. No. 119,885 Int. Cl. C23g 1/22 US. Cl. 134-3 4 Claims ABSTRACT OF THE DTSCLOS Aluminum alloys which are covered with an insoluble smut due to alkali or other treatment are cleaned and brightened by aqueous compositions containing mineral acids and peroxydiphosphate ions.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION When aluminum alloys are etched with aqueous alkali, the resultant etched surfaces carry on their surfaces a black smut which contains the alkali-insoluble components of the alloy (e.g. copper, magnesium, silicon). Smuts which are very similar in appearance are formed by chemical exchange, electroplating and even by simple boiling with water alone. These smuts are conventionally removed by an aqueous acid containing an oxidizing agent such as nitrate, dichromate, persulfate or hydrogen peroxide. However, each one of these oxidizing agents has at least one major disadvantage. Nitrates evolve corrosive toxic fumes; dichromates are toxic, deposit a film and are difficult to dispose safely; hydrogen peroxide attacks the aluminum; and persulfate acts very slowly, and attacks the metal unless carefully monitored.
STATEMENT OF THE INVENTION We have discovered that smut can be removed from aluminum alloy surfaces which are smutted as a result of treatment with an aqueous treating bath rapidly and effectively, and without damage to the aluminum, to produce bright surfaces, by using an aqueous solution containing enough mineral acid to get a pH of about 3.0 or lower, and preferably 0.2 to 0.7 (about 2 to 60% by weight of acid, preferably 10 to 30%), and 0.1 to 10% (and preferably 1 to 54%) by weight of a soluble peroxydiphosphate (calculated as potassium peroxydiphos phate). The solutions will clean and brighten typical caustic-etched or otherwise smutted surfaces in a short time, of the order of a few seconds to a few minutes, at temperatures from about ambient to the boiling point, preferably 40 to 60 C.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION In practicing our invention, we can use any mineral acid which is not oxidized by the peroxydiphosphate ion. Of the common mineral acids, sulfuric acid is the cheapest and optimum; phosphoric acid may also be used. Hydrochloric acid is readily oxidized, and should not be used; nitric acid is both reactive with the peroxydiphosphate and fume-producing and should be avoided.
The peroxydiphosphate ion may come from any soluble peroxydiphosphate, but is preferably the potassium salt K P O since this is commercially available.
We use about 0.1 to 10% of peroxydiphosphate calculated as K P O As the amount of this oxidizer is increased, desmutting time is reduced. Optimum results are obtained in the 1 to range; below 1%, times tend to be longer than desirable, and above 5% the increase in speed is not sufiicient to make larger quantities economic.
Acid concentrations vary from about 2 to 60% by Weight, preferably to 30%. The concentration should be high enough to give a pH of not higher than about ice 3.0, with optimum speed being obtained in the range of 0.2 to 0.7.
The concentration and time needed will of course vary with the depth of smut deposit on the aluminum, with higher concentration and greater time being required to treat heavier deposits.
The compositions may contain wetting agents to improve wetting of the surface, surface-treating agents such as fluoride, and even organic solvents if they are desired to treat the metal surface.
The cleaning reaction will go at ambient temperatures or lower, but is facilitated by mild heat. About 40 to 60 C. is the preferred temperature range. We prefer to avoid higher temperatures because they produce uncomfortable working conditions, but temperatures up to the boiling point may be used without interfering with the cleaning.
The process produces bright, smooth surfaces, free of residual films, in very short time, from as low as about 2 seconds under optimum conditions to about 5 minutes with heavy deposits and weaker solution. Other advantages are lack of attack on the metal surface, and absence of toxic or corrosive fumes. The solution is nontoxic, and can readily be se'wered after filtering out and neutralizing.
