A METHOD FOR THE PRODUCTION OF SURFACE-MODIFIED WORKPIECES

Abstract The present invention relates to a method for the production of surface- modified workpieces from a metal and/or one or more alloys, comprising the provision of the workpiece to be modified and the treatment of the said workpiece with at least one modifying agent to obtain the surface-modified workpiece, wherein the workpiece to be modified has a temperature of 300°C I to 550°C and the at least one modifying agent has a minimum temperature of O°C and a maximum temperature of 100°C, wherein the modifying agent contains a metal salt of an element of one of the sub-groups IV to VI of the PSE (p~riodic system of the elements) or a metal salt of an element of the main group I, II, III or IV of the PSE and a compound of the said metals with an element of the main group V, VI, VI or VIII of the PSE, and wherein the modifying agent contains a CAB flux and the metal salt is present in an aqueous phase with a pH-value between 3 and 10, and wherein the workpiece is treated by bringing the at least one modifying agent into contact with the workpiece in the form of an aerosol and/or vapour.

The present invention relates to a processes for producing surface modified workpieces made from motor and/or one or more alloys to the workpieces produces by means of these processes and to processes for joining at least two such workpieces.
The direct coating of aluminium or alumium alloys by means of organic coating system is virtually impossible on account of the inadequate bonding of the organic coating systems to the aluminum. Therefore, to improve the bonding between the starting material and organic coating systems, it is known to subject aluminum or aluminum alloys to what is known as a boehumite treatment, in which hot water or hot steam, if. appropriate together with amino rile or amines, is brought into contact with the workpiece, so as to form or thicken an aluminium oxide or boehimite oxide or boehimite layer. This then allows an organic coating to be applied. EP 1, 142, 663 , A1 describes baehmite processes, in which deianisied water at temeperatures of approximately 100oC or steam at temperatures of 150oC is used to surface-modify aluminium parts US 3,945 ,899 has disclosed a boehmite treatment of aluminium parts with water at a temperature of from 65 to l00oC or steam at temeperature of 100 to 180oC, with the addition of amines and amonia further boosting the aluminium oxide layer.
It is also known from this document to subject aluminium or its alloys to a chemical surface treatment using aqueous solutions of chromates of phosphates , in order in this way firstly to increase the bonding hand and secondly to reduce the susceptibility to corrosion. This conversion treatment, as it is known is also; known from stolsenfels (Industrie-backierbatrieb,
