Abstract
The invention concerns a process, not using chlorate or nitrite, for the production of nickel and manganese containing zinc phosphate films on steel, zinc, and/or zinc alloys by spraying, spray-dipping, and/or dipping, using an aqueous solution. An organic oxidizing agent is added, primarily to depolarize the nascent hydrogen produced.
Claims6
A chlorate-free and nitrite-free process for the production of nickel- and manganese-containing zinc phosphate coatings on steel, zinc, or alloys thereof, said process comprising spray coating, spray coating and dip coating, or dip coating the steel, zinc, or alloys thereof with an aqueous solution containing 0.8 to 1.0 g/1 of zinc(II), 0.8 to 1.0 g/1 of manganese(II), 0.2 to 0.4 g/1 of iron(II), 0.5 to 0.7 g/1 of nickel(II), 12.0 to 16.0 g/1 of phosphate ions, 3.0 to 6.0 g/1 of nitrate ions and 0.3 to 0.8 g/1 of 3-nitrobenzene sulfonic acid, the aqueous solution having a free acid content of 0.5 to 1.8 points and a total acid content of 15 to 35 points and the quantity of Na.sup.+ required to establish the free acid content.
