Abstract

Disclosed is a coated metal pipe including a metal pipe and a multi-layered coating film that covers an outer circumferential surface of the metal pipe. The multi-layered coating film includes a chemical conversion layer and a primer layer, and these layers are provided in this order from the inside. The chemical conversion layer contains a zirconium oxide and/or a zirconium hydroxide. The primer layer contains a polyamide imide and/or an epoxy resin.

Claims (20)

1. A coated metal pipe for vehicle piping, comprising:

a metal pipe; and

a multi-layered coating film that covers an outer circumferential surface of the metal pipe, wherein

the multi-layered coating film includes a chemical conversion layer and a primer layer, the chemical conversion layer and the primer layer being provided in this order from the inside,

the chemical conversion layer contains a zirconium oxide and/or a zirconium hydroxide, and a silane coupling agent having an amino group,

the primer layer contains a polyamide imide, and

the primer layer contains no epoxy resin, or the ratio of an epoxy resin in the primer layer is 50% by mass or less based on the mass of the primer layer.

2. The coated metal pipe for vehicle piping according to claim 1 , wherein the chemical conversion layer further contains a silicon oxide.

3. The coated metal pipe for vehicle piping according to claim 1 , wherein the chemical conversion layer further contains a titanium oxide.

4. The coated metal pipe for vehicle piping according to claim 1 , wherein the chemical conversion layer further contains a urethane resin.

5. The coated metal pipe for vehicle piping according to claim 1 , wherein the chemical conversion layer further contains a vanadium oxide.

6. The coated metal pipe for vehicle piping according to claim 1 , wherein the primer layer further contains at least one additive component selected from a polyamide, a fluorine resin, and a silicon oxide.

7. A method for producing a coated metal pipe for vehicle piping, comprising a step of forming, on an outer circumferential surface of a metal pipe, a multi-layered coating film that covers the outer circumferential surface, wherein

the step of forming the multi-layered coating film includes:

forming a chemical conversion layer on the outer circumferential surface by subjecting the outer circumferential surface of the metal pipe to surface treatment with a chemical conversion treatment solution containing hexafluorozirconic acid and/or a salt thereof and a silane coupling agent having an amino group; and

forming a primer layer containing a polyamide imide on an outer circumferential surface of the chemical conversion layer, the primer layer containing no epoxy resin or the ratio of an epoxy resin in the primer layer is 50% by mass or less based on the mass of the primer layer.

8. The method according to claim 7 , wherein the chemical conversion treatment solution further contains an organotitanium chelate compound.

9. The method according to claim 7 , wherein the chemical conversion treatment solution further contains a urethane resin.

10. The method according to claim 7 , wherein the chemical conversion treatment solution further contains a vanadium compound.

11. The method according to claim 7 , wherein the primer layer further contains at least one additive component selected from a polyamide, a fluorine resin, and a silicon oxide.
