Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0826792A1] A new composition for a phosphating bath for the treatment of metallic substrates based on steel, possibly coated with Zn or Zn alloyed with Fe, Ni, Al or Mn, or Al-based (possibly alloyed), at a pH of 1 - 5.5.The composition contains classical components comprising :- 0.3 - 25(preferably 0.5 - 10) g/l of Zn ions ; 5 - 50(preferably 8 - 30) g/l of phosphate ions ; and about 0.01 - 10(preferably 0.03 - 3) g/l of a trivalent Co complex represented by one or other of the formulae :- ÄCo(Ligand)nÜc (I) ÄCo(Ligand)nZpÜc (II) -n, p = 1 - 6, with(formula II) n+p ≤ 6 ; -c = charge on the complex, positive or negative according to the charge of the ligand and of Z ; -the Ligand is chosen from the ions of a group comprising NO2, CN, CO3 and SO3, a group comprising oxalate, acetate, citrate, gluconate, tartrate and acetylacetonate, and compounds of formula N (R1, R2, R3), in which R1, R2 and R3 are (independently) H, 1 - 6C alkyl, hydroxyalkyl, hydroxy, alkylamine, hydroxyalkylamine, carboxylic acids or aminocarboxylic acids and their salts ; and -Z is chosen from Cl, Br, F, I, OH, NO3, SCN, PO4, S2O3, MoO4, SeO4 and H2O, given that a given complex may comprise one or more ligands and one or more Z different from one another. Also claimed, is the phosphating process, a concentrate for the preparation of a phosphating bath, the use of the Co complex as an accelerator and metallic substrates treated by the process.
