  23. History of the Proposal ECOCHROM IMS-GROWTH Project • - Chromium deposits : used in mechanical applications : shafts, pistons, axes, … • European market about : 1 billion Euros. • Wear and corrosion resistance, low friction coefficient, hardness, non-tarnishing. • Industrial Chromium Plating processes use CrVI . • Toxicity of CrVI : 0.1 mg/L, CrIII : 3 mg/L. • Development of hard trivalent chromium processes. • a CRAFT Project : dating back to 1997… Toronto Meeting Sept 23-27, 2002

  24. Aspects of Craft Project ECOCHROM IMS-GROWTH Project • Official starting date : 01-03-98 • 2 year project : 4 tasks (67.5 Men-Months) • Improvement of the different aspects of the bath (chemistry, environmentally friendly aspects…), • Building one prototype (150 L), • Building 150 L systems for each SME partner, • Building one 600 L prototype. • Participants : D, F, Fin, S • End of the project : 01-09-99 (28-02-00) Toronto Meeting Sept 23-27, 2002

  25. CONCLUSIONS ECOCHROM IMS-GROWTH Project Chlorine gaz reduced from 100 ppm to 0.5 ppm. • Thick coatings > 100µm, 3µm/min. • Sensitive to some impurities : copper… • Filtration of the bath (CrVI - Ni, Cu, …) • Intrinsic Corrosion resistance poorer than CrVI. • After heat treatment (300°C, 2 h): • Hardness : 1600HV100 • Wear resistance : 6 – 8 fold CrVI • Pilot scale results (150 L) • Poor conductivity 50 L/dm², • 800°C, 336 h : microhardness : 700 HV100 – High Temperature. Toronto Meeting Sept 23-27, 2002

  26. Objectives of ECOCHROM ECOCHROM IMS-GROWTH Project To develop anenvironmentally and economically acceptable processallowing to obtainharderthickchromium coatings andmore resisting to the corrosionthan the traditionnal coatings, fromanew and non toxic electrolytic solution. Toronto Meeting Sept 23-27, 2002

  27. Technical Objectives ECOCHROM IMS-GROWTH Project Electrolyte for chromium plating which allows • Co-deposition • Improvement of corrosion resistance • Improvement of µ-hardness with heat treatment • Developping the process on an industrial scale • Competitive with dry process Toronto Meeting Sept 23-27, 2002

  28. Problematic Approach (1) ECOCHROM IMS-GROWTH Project • I – General aspects • No industrial process available • Commercial decorative trivalent chromium process : Atotech,McDermid, Polyclad… • Hard thick trivalent chromium Laboratories processes: • USA (NIST, Portland), Japan (Musashi Institute), Russia (Mendeleeiev Institute), Singapore, U.K.(Glasgow ), France. Toronto Meeting Sept 23-27, 2002

  29. Problematic Approach (2) ECOCHROM IMS-GROWTH Project II - Technical aspects Problems: Stability of hexa-aqueous trivalent chromium complexes (11 x more stable than Ni2+) Reduction potential of CrIII : Hydrogen evolution High pH value : modification of Cr3+ complexes Low pH value : etching, measure, high H2 evolution Deposit macrocracked Toronto Meeting Sept 23-27, 2002

  30. Proposed solutions (1) ECOCHROM IMS-GROWTH Project Organic solutions as DMF Complexes with formiates, thiocyanates, hypophosphites ions and different organic additives : Stability of electrolyte : olation, oxolation, hydroxydes Obtention of trivalent chromium ions by reduction : Hazardous, low pH value, weak conductivity Toronto Meeting Sept 23-27, 2002

  31. Proposed solutions (2) ECOCHROM IMS-GROWTH Project Innovative new way to combine the advantages of the differentprocesses Synergetic action (Japan, USA, Europe, Canada, Korea) : By a deeper knowledge of the different processes - increasingthe pH valueup toanintermediate value - improving conductivity - modifying the µ-structure or applying Ni underlayer Relation with HCAT(Hard Chromium Alternative Techniques) andNDCEE(National Defence Centre for Environment Excellence – DoD) Toronto Meeting Sept 23-27, 2002

  32. Expected results ECOCHROM IMS-GROWTH Project I – Process Less toxic than chromium plating existing process Respectful of the environment Allowing to deposit metal chromium presenting newcharacteristics (co-deposition, hardening :LASER and T) Faraday performance (process and CrIII instead ofCrVI) Electrolytic process (reduced costs, adhesion, well known technic…) Toronto Meeting Sept 23-27, 2002

  33. Expected results ECOCHROM IMS-GROWTH Project II – Industrial aspects To have expected technical characteristics To be applicable to plating workshops without important modifications To present guarantees of safety towards employeesand environment, To present performances comparable to drytechniques (projection, PVD, ionic nitruration…) Toronto Meeting Sept 23-27, 2002
