Abstract This invention relates to a metal sheet or metal sheet section comprising a lubricant coating, wherein said lubricant is in particular a corrosion protection oil, pre-lube, and/or dry-lube. The metal sheet or the metal sheet section comprises a layer which is formed by the application onto the metallic surface of a solution containing an organic phosphoric acid ester.
Full Text FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The invention relates to a lubricant-coated metal sheet or a section thereof
having improved forming properties, whereby the lubricant is in particular a
corrosion protection oil, pre-lube and/or dry lube. The invention further relates to
a method for the manufacture of such a metal sheet or metal section as well as
to its use for the manufacture of metal bodies by forming in particular by deep-
drawing.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
In the manufacture of metal sheets, such as steel sheets, it is common for these
to be provided with a temporary corrosion protection for storage and transport
immediately after the manufacturing or coating process and before delivery to
the metal-processing industry. This is usually effected by applying a corrosion-
inhibiting lubricant directly before the coiling of the sheet, such as a corrosion
protection oil, a pre-lube or a dry-lube. If the metal sheet is destined for further
processing by forming such as deep-drawing, the lubricants used can contain, in
addition to corrosion-inhibiting substances, other ancillary substances, especially
matched to the individual forming process, which improve the tribological
properties of the sheet during the forming process. Metal sheets coated in this
way are encountered, for example, in the automobile industry in the
manufacture of bodywork made of metal sheets by deep-drawing.
With the use of lubricants for temporary corrosion protection and for improving
the forming properties, it must be particularly borne in mind that these are to be
easily and completely removable the forming process.
Form EP 0 499 105 Bl a method is known for the cold deep-drawing of metal
sheets, in which the sheet which is to be deep-drawn and/or the deep-drawing
tool are treated with an aqueous solution of an inorganic alkali phosphate and
are then deep-drawn in the presence of a deep-drawing oil. The slat which is
deposited on the sheet forms a soap under the pressure and temperature
conditions of the deep-drawing process as a result of the reaction with the deep-
drawing oil, which has the effect of reducing the friction coefficient. A
disadvantage of the method is that the alkali phosphate used and the soap which
is formed cannot be entirely moved from the sheet, free of any residue, after the
deep-drawing.
From CH 441 594 a lubricant composition is further known for the cold-forming
of metals without the removal of material, which contains a finely dispersed
water-soluble inorganic salt for the improvement of the tribological properties,
such as Borax. A disadvantage with this lubricant composition is that its
lubrication capacity is not constant, since the salt is not distributed uniformly
over the surface, which interferes with the deep-drawing process.
With the producing of single-sided electrolytically galvanized fine sheet, verv
their phosphating or borax passivation with a coating weight of approx.
10mg/m2 has proved advantageous in respect of tribological properties. Both
products cam be applied in the existing flushing baths of the galvanizing lines,
but they have the disadvantage that they may impair the phosphating process in
the automobile producing plant.
The use of prelubes takes account of the idea of influencing the tribological
properties of steel strip directly on the surface of the steel. Prelubes contain
drawing aids which are introduced into the oil coating, which is about 1 µm thick.
Only the direct steel-tool interface is tribologically active, in the range of a few
nanometers.
Finally, the principle is generally known of carrying out a surface treatment of
the deep-drawn sheet in order to improve the tribological properties. In
particular, chemical processes for the surface treatment are known, such as
phosphating, by means of which the friction coefficient between the sheet and
the tool is reduced, and the forming of the sheet section is thereby facilitated.
Such a treatment, however is expensive and cannot be applied to all deep-drawn
sheets.
OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION
It is an object of the present invention to provide a lubricant-coated metal sheet
for the manufacture of metal bodies by forming, with improved tribological
properties. The metal sheet should be easy to clean after the forming process
and without any residues remaining. Finally, the manufacture of the lubricant
coated metal sheet should be capable of being carried out easily and without
high investment expenditure in existing manufacturing facilities.
Another object of the invention is to propose an aqueous solution of the
treatment of metal surfaces containing an organic phosphoric acid ester and a
water-soluble organic sulphur compound and/or organic molybdenum compound,
all compounds as describes hereto, as well as a concentrate for the production of
such a solution.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
This object is achieved according to the invention by a metal sheet or a metal
sheet section comprising a coating of lubricant, in particular a corrosion
protection oil, pre-lube and/or dry-lube, whereby the metal sheet or the metal
sheet section comprises a layer which is formed by the application of a solution
containing an organic phosphoric acid ester onto the metallic surface of the
sheet.
Surprisingly, it has been found that the lubricant-coated metal sheets according
to the invention have excellent tribological properties as a consequence of their
layer formed by the phosphoric acid ester. By contrast with lubricant-coated
metal sheets without such a layer, the metal sheets according to the invention
have a reduced friction coefficient. Finally, the metal sheets according to the
invention can be easily cleaned after the forming process by existing degreasing
systems, whereby both the layer containing the lubricant as well as the layer
formed by the phosphoric acid ester can be removed from the surface of the
sheet with no problem at all and without leaving any residue.
The metal sheets which are capable of being used according to the invention can
be any desired metal sheets from which metal bodies can be manufactured by
forming, in particulars by cold forming. Particularly suitable metal sheets are
steel sheets. The metal sheets which can be used according to the invention can
be coated or uncoated. As an uncoated metal sheet, for example, consideration
can be given to uncoated fine sheet metal, in particular conti-annealed uncoated
fine sheet metal. As a coated metal sheet, consideration can be given in
particular to electolytically coated sheet, as well as to hot-dip galvanized of
galvanized sheets. The metal sheets preferably have a thickness of 0.05 to 5mm,
an in particular from 0.5 to 1.5 mm.
The metal sheets and metal sheet sections according to the invention are coated
with a lubricant which is intended to protect the sheets after manufacture, at
least temporally against undesirably environmental influences, and in particular
against corrosion manifestations. The choice of lubricant is not restricted; on the
contrary, any substances containing grease or oil or the like, as well as do
lubricants such as graphite, come into consideration. The lubricants which can be
used according to the invention preferably contain corrosion inhibitors. In
addition, the lubricant can also contain further additives, in particular additives
for improving the drawing properties of the sheets.
Such lubricants for the metal working industry are in general known to the
person skilled in the art, and are described, for example, in Nachtmann,
"Lubricants and lubrication in metalworking operations", Marcel Decker, New
York, 1985, pages 81 to 105; Byers, "Metalworking fluids", Marcel Decker, New
York, 1994, pages 135 to 140, and Mortier, Orszulik, "Chemistry and Technology
of Lubricants", 2nd edition, Chapman & Hall, London, 1997, pages 253 to 260.
According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, a corrosion protection oil
is used as the lubricant. Such corrosion protection oils are generally known to the
person skilled in the art, and usually contain a basic oil with an aromate content
addition, the corrosion protection oils can also contain anti-oxidants for the
prevention of oil aging, as well as thixotropy forming agents for reducing drip
losses with oiled sheets.
According to a further preferred embodiment of the invention, a so-called "pre-
lube" is used as a lubricant. Pre-lubes are corrosion protection oils with improved
drawing properties, and as such are generally known to the person skilled in the
art. The improvements of the drawing properties is achieved by the addition of
further additives, e.g. of esters.
According to a further preferred embodiment of the invention, a so-called "dry
lubricant" is used as a lubricant. Dry lubricants are thin films on wax and/or
acrylate bases, with similar properties to pre-lubes, and as such as generally
known to the person skilled in the art. In addition to this, dry lubricants also offer
the possibility of manufacturing difficult drawing components in pressing plants
without further additional lubrication. Drip losses from coated sheets are avoided
entirely. Dry lubricants can be applied after smelting, for example by elecrtostatic
means or be means of roll coaters.
According to the invention, a layer is formed on the metallic surface of the sheet,
which can be obtained by the application of an organic phosphoric acid ester
onto the metallic surface of the sheet.
Organic phosphoric acid esters which can be used according to the invention are,
in particular, combinations of the general formula
where X represents hydrogen, Na, K, -NH2, -NHR, -NR2, - NH (R' -OH), -N(R' -
OH)2, or -NR(R' -OH), R represents a straight- chain or branched alkyl group
with 1 to 14 carbon atoms, in particular 1 to 8, R' is a straight-chain or branched
alkyl group with 1 to 14 carbon atoms, in particular 1 to 8, whereby one or more
hydrogen atoms in R and R' can be substituted by a polymer or oligomer group -
Y-R, where Y represents (CH2-CH2-O)m or CH2-CH (CH3) -O-)m with m = 1 to
infinity, and, in particular, m = 1 to 10, R and R' can in each case be equal or
different, and n is a number from 0 to 3, with the proviso that n is not 0 if X
stands exclusively for hydrogen.
Particularly good results are achieved if, as an organic phosphoric acid ester, a
combination of the formula given above is used, with X = H, R = C4H9 and n = 1
or 2. Particularly preferred, in addition, is an equimolar mixture of (C4H9-O) PO
(OH)2 and (OH) PO (O-C4H9)2.
According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the layer formed by the
phosphoric acid ester contains, as further components, a water-soluble organic
sulphur compound and/or an organic molybdenum compound.
Suitable organic sulphur compounds according to the invention are, in particular,
thiadiazoles, dithiocarbamates, and/or dithiopropionates, as well as their salts
and derivatives.
Especially suitable organic sulphur compounds are, for example, sodium-2-
mercaptobenzothiazole, 2, 5-dimercapto-l,3,4-thiadiazole, as well as salts and
derivatives thereof sodium dimethyl dithiocarbamate, potassium dimethyul
dithiocarbamate, and/or monoethanol amine dithiopropionate.
Organic molvbdenum compounds which are suitable according to the invention
can be obtained, for example, by the conversion of molybdenum trioxide and/or
molybdeneic acid with an amine and/or alkanolamine.
According to a further preferred embodiment of the invention, the layer
containing the phosphoric acid ester contains, as a further component, as least
one inorganic compound from the group consisting of polyphosphates, borates,
molybdates, and wolframates.
Inorganic compounds which are especially well-suited according to the invention
are, for example, ammonium tripolyphosphate, sodium tetraborate, ammonium
molybdate, sodium wolframate, potassium wolframate, and/or sodium
wolframate.
Preferably, the organic phosphoric acid ester and any further components are
applied onto the metal sheet in the form of an aqueous solution. After the
application, the metal sheet is preferably dried.
The layer formed by phosphoric acid ester can be formed in any desireJ
thickness. Preferably, however, this is a thin layer, in particular a coating in the
nanometer range.
According to a further preferred embodiment of the invention, a layer containing
a lubricant is formed directly onto a layer formed by phosphoric acid ester. The
layer containing lubricant contains preferably a corrosion protection oil, pre-lube,
and/or dry-lube. Preferably, the layer containing lubricant contains a corrosion
protection oil.
The layer containing lubricant can be formed in any desired thicknesses.
Particularly good tribological properties can be achieved it the layer containing
lubricant is formed in a thickness of 0.3 to 3.0 g/m2, in particular 1 to 2 g/m2.
It has proved to be particularly advantageous if the layer containing lubricant is
matched to the layer containing phosphoric acid ester in such a way that it
contains components which are contained in the layer containing phosphoric acid
ester.
It has been found that a synergistic effect can be incurred by this measure, and
the tribological properties of the sheet are improved still further.
It is therefore advantageous if the layer containing lubricant contains at least on*
organic phosphoric acid ester as defined above, in a quantity from 0.01 to 50 %
by weight, and in particular 0.05 to 10 % by weight.

particular 0.01 to 30 % by weight.
Finally, it is advantageous if the layer containing lubricant contains an inorganic
compound as defined above in a quantity from 0.005 to 50 % by weight, in
particular 0.01 to 30 % by weight.
The invention further relates to a method for the manufacture of the metal sheet
according to the invention or metal sheet according to the invention or met~l

DETAIL DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The invention is described in greater detail hereinafter on the basis of an
embodiment.
Electrolytically galvanized steel sheets of a thickness of 1 mm were treated by
immersion in an aqueous solution of the composition described heretofore, dried,
and then coated with 1.5 g/m2 pre-lube. To match the drawing performance, the
friction coefficient was then determined in the draw-bed test. As a reference for
the friction coefficient & sample of the electrolytically galvanized steel sheet was
used, which was not treated with an aqueous solution. The friction coefficient of
this reference sample was set at 100%.
Example 1
An electrolytically galvanized steel sheet was treated with a 5% solution of an
equimolar phosphoric acid ester mixture of (CH3-O) PO (OH)2 and (OH) PO(O-
CH3)2. The sheet was dried and then coated with 1.5 g/m2 pre-lube. The friction
coefficient was 88%.
A reduction in the friction coefficient of 12 % was determined in comparison with
the reference sample without pre-treatment.
Example 2
An electrolytically galvanized steel was treated with a 5% solution of an
equimolar phosphoric acid ester mixture of (CH3-O) PO (OH)2 and (OH) PO (0-
C4H9)2. The sheet was dried and then coated with 1.5 g/m2 pre-lube. The friction
coefficient was 58%.
A reduction in the friction coefficient of 42 % was determined in comparison with
the reference sample without pre-treatment.
Example 3
An electrolytically galvanized steel sheet was treated with a 5% solution of an
equimolar phosphoric acid ester mixture of (C8H17-O) PO (OH)2 and (OH) PO (0-
C8H17)2. The sheet was dried and then coated with 1.5 g/m2 pre-lube. The
friction coefficient was 90%.
A reduction in the friction coefficient of 10% was determined in comparison with
the reference sample without pre-treatment.
Example 4
An electrolytically galvanized steel sheet was treated with a 55 solution of an
equimolar phosphoric acid ester mixture of CH2 - (O-CH2-CH2)3 - C12H24-O) PO
(OH)2 and (HO) PO (CH3 - [O-CH2CH2]3 - C12H24- O)2. The sheet was dried and
then coated with 1.5 g/m2 pre-lube. The friction coefficient was 92%.
A reduction in the friction coefficient of 8% was determined in comparison with
the reference sample without pre-treatment.
Example 5
In this example, the deep-drawing working range of an electrolytically galvanized
fine steel sheet manufactured in accordance with Example 2 was examined in
relation to the reference sample without pre-treatment. The results of this
examination are presented in Fig. 1.
The results show that the fine sheet coated according to the invention (Fig. lb)
has a perceptibly greater deep-drawing working range than the reference sample
without pre-treatment (Fig. la).
Comparison example 1
An electrolytically calvanized steel sheet was treated with a 5% sodium
tetraborate solution dried, and then coated with 1.5 g/m2 pre-lube. The friction
coefficient was 90%.
A reduction in the friction coefficient of 10% was determined in comparison with
the reference sample without pre-treatment.
The results show that the metal sheets according to the invention which were
treated with a phosphoric acid ester solution have perceptibly improved
tribological properties in comparison with metal sheets which were not subjected
to such treatment, as well as an enlarged deep-drawing working range. The
metal sheets according to invention were also capable of being cleaned easily
and entirely free of residue in a conventional degreasing system.
