Abstract (en)

[origin: ES8502168A1] A process for phosphating metal surfaces, particularly iron, steel and zinc-plated steel, by treating them with aqueous, acidic zinc phosphate baths at only moderately elevated temperatures in the range of from 22 DEG to 38 DEG C. The baths used have 2 to 6 g/l of Zn 4 to 23 g/l of PO43- a free acid content of 0.05 to 0.4 points and a pH-value of 3.0 to 4.0. The ratio of Zn to PO43- is preferably in the range from 1:2 to 1:11. The baths can advantageously contain nickel-(II)-ions, with a nickel content not exceeding a Zn:Ni ratio of 1:0.5. This process gives iron-containing zinc phosphate layers having an iron content of from 5 to 20% by weight and is particularly useful for pretreatment for subsequent cathodic electro-dip-lacquering.
