The deposition mechanism of self-deposition coating system for steel substrates has been investigated. The first stage of the self-deposition reaction is steel oxidation by iron (III) fluoride. The second stage reaction is resin emulsion coagulation and deposition on the steel surface by neutralizing the negative charged emulsion with positive charged iron (II) ions generated in the first stage.To demonstrate the effects of iron (II) and iron (III) ions, equilibrium calculation and simulation in concern with resin emulsion coagulation with iron (II) fluoride have been conducted.As the results, iron (III) fluoride existed as a fluoride complex with nocharge in the coating bath and did not contribute to discharging the resin emulsion. On the other hand, iron (II) fluorides in coating bath exist as hexaaqueous complexes with positive divalents, and effectively discharged the emulsion. The remarkable defference in the stability constants of iron fluorides between iron (II) and iron (III) ions consists of the self-deposition coating system.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
