Abstract

A metal material is contacted with a treatment solution containing zirconium and/or titanium compound, and a polyamine compound having a number average molecular weight from 150 to 500,000 and containing from 0.1 mmol to 17 mmol of primary and/or secondary amino group per 1 g of solid content and at least one siloxane unit. Concentration of zirconium and/or titanium compound in the metal surface treatment composition is from 10 ppm to 10,000 ppm with respect to the metal element, and mass ratio of the zirconium and/or titanium element is from 0.1 to 100 with respect to the polyamine compound. The metal material is washed with water after contacted by the treatment solution.

Claims (17)

1. A metal surface treatment method for treating the surface of a metal material, comprising:

a treatment solution contact step of contacting with said metal material, a metal surface treatment solution containing

at least one selected from the group consisting a zirconium compound and titanium compound, and

a polyamine compound having a number average molecular weight from 5,000 to 500,000, wherein

said polyamine compound contains from 0.1 mmol to 17 mmol of at least one selected from the group consisting primary and secondary amino group per 1 g of solid content,

a content of at least one selected from the group consisting said zirconium compound and titanium compound in said metal surface treatment composition is from 10 ppm to 10,000 ppm with respect to the metal element,

a mass ratio of at least one selected from the group consisting of zirconium element and titanium element included in at least one selected from the group consisting said zirconium compound and titanium compound is from 0.1 to 100, with respect to said polyamine compound, and

said polyamine compound is a compound having at least one siloxane unit; and

a water washing step of washing with water the metal material after said treatment solution contact step, and

wherein the metal material is electrolyzed as a cathode in the treatment solution contact step.

2. The metal surface treatment method according to claim 1 , wherein the metal material is simultaneously subjected to degreasing treatment in the treatment solution contact step.

3. The metal surface treatment method according to claim 1 , comprising an acid contact step of contacting the metal material after the water washing with an acidic aqueous solution containing at least one selected from the group consisting of cobalt, nickel, tin, copper, titanium, and zirconium.

4. The metal surface treatment method according to claim 1 , comprising a polymer-containing solution contact step of contacting the metal material after the after the water step with a polymer-containing solution containing at least one of a water-soluble polymer compound and a water-dispersible polymer compound.

5. The metal surface treatment method according to claim 1 , wherein the polyamine compound is a polyaminosiloxane selected from the group consisting of N -(2-aminoethyl)-3-aminopropylmethyldimethoxysilane, N-(2-aminoethyl)-3-aminopropyitrimethoxysilane, N-(2-aminoethyl)-3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane, 3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane, 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane, 3-triethoxysilyl-N -(1,3-dimethyl-butylidene)propylarnine, N-phenyl-3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane and hydrochlorides of N-(vinylbenzyl)-2-aminoethyl-3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane.

6. The metal surface treatment method according to claim 1 , wherein said metal surface treatment solution contains a fluorine compound.

7. The metal surface treatment method according to claim 6 , wherein content of free fluorine in said metal surface treatment solution is from 0.01 ppm to 100 ppm.

8. The metal surface treatment method according to claim 7 , wherein content of free fluorine in said metal surface treatment solution is from 0,1 ppm to 20 ppm.
