Abstract (en)

[origin: GB2221698A] Zinc-base plated steel is treated with an aqueous composition containing 200ppm Ni<2+> and NH3 in a molar amount of at least 6 times the amount of Ni<2+> and having a pH of less than 11.0 to provide a coating of Ni or Ni compound, prior to phosphating to improve the corrosion resistance. The Ni<2+> is preferably present in an amount of less than 100g/l and the NH3 is preferably present in an amount of less than 300g/l. Particularly preferred amounts of Ni<2+> and NH3 are 5-50g/l and 10-100g/l respectively. The composition may be applied by dipping or spraying, or alternatively the composition may be applied by an electrolytic treatment method. The coated surface may be subsequently conversion coated, preferably by phosphating, or painted.
