Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2130950A1] Method for pretreating an electrolytic substrate, which is to be coated with zinc and/or zinc alloy, comprises cathodic etching in diluted acid, where: the substrate is hardened steel, wrought iron or cast iron; during the cathode etching, the cathode and anode are separated by an ion exchange membrane; the cathode comprises hydrochloric acid (catholyte); and the anode comprises an aqueous mineral acid, except hydrochloric acid, and/or alkyl sulfonic acid (anolyte). An independent claim is included for a method for electrolytic coating of the substrate with mono- or multi-layers of zinc and/or zinc alloy comprising pretreating the substrate by the above process, before coating.
