Abstract (en)

[origin: DE4412138A1] Described is a process using a no-rinse technique for the production of a chrome-free conversion layer on the surface of aluminium and its alloys by treating with an aqueous solution having a pH between 1 and 3.5 and containing titanium and/or zirconium plus an organic film-forming agent. The process is characterized in that the surface is brought into contact with a solution containing a) 2.2 to 22.0 g/l of Zr(IV) and/or 1.4 to 14.0 g/l of Ti(IV), b) 2.4 to 24.0 g/l of orthophosphate, c) 3.0 to 30.0 g/l of fluoride, d) 0.15 to 1.5 g/l of an organic film-forming agent which is soluble in or forms a homogeneous dispersion with water and, after a contact time between 1 and 40 seconds, the wet surface is allowed to dry off, without rinsing, at a temperature between 50 and 125 DEG C. Also described are aqueous concentrates for use in the process.
