Abstract (en)

A process for phosphating a metal surface, particularly to avoid white spots, involving treating the metal surface with an acidic aqueous phosphate solution in which one establishes and maintains a concentration of at most 0.2 g/l and preferably no chlorate ion as well as the smallest practical concentration never exceeding 0.5 g/l of chloride ion, the solution otherwise containing: a) from 0.1 to 1.5 g/l of zinc ion, b) from 5 to 50 g/l of phosphate ion, c) from at least 0.2 to 4 g/l of manganese ion, d) at least 0.05 g/l of a fluoride ion, and e) at least one of the following phosphating accelerators in the following concentrations: i) from 0.01 to 0.2 g/l of nitrite ion, ii) from 1 to 15 g/l of nitrate ion, iii) from 0.5 to 5 g/l of hydrogen peroxide (based on 100% H2O2), iv) from 0.05 to 2 g/l of m-nitro-benzene-sulfonate ion, v) from 0.05 to 2 g/l of m-nitro-benzoate ion, and vi) from 0.05 to 2 g/l of p-nitrophenol. o
