Title: Improvements relating to the production of phosphate coatings on ferrous metal surfaces
Inventor: NICHOLSON ANDREW
IPC: C23C22/16
Filed: 1958-10-03
Abstract: In a process in which phosphate coatings are formed on ferrous metal surfaces by treatment with a supersaturated solution of acid zinc phosphate containing hydrogen peroxide as the sole accelerator, the solution is maintained less acid than the equilibrium value by the addition of zinc carbonate.  The zinc carbonate is preferably added as a powder continuously or substantially continuously, e.g. by means of a worm-feed dispenser.  The solution may be applied by immersion, flowing, or preferably by spraying: in the latter case, the zinc carbonate and replenishment materials may be added to the collecting tank or to a subsidiary tank through which the solution from the collecting tank is circulated.  At least the final stage of the cleaning of the metal surfaces before coating is preferably performed with a mildly alkaline solution.  Thus single-stage cleaning may be carried out using mild solutions, e.g. those disclosed in Specifications 865,497 and 871,606.  Alternatively, cleaning may be carried out using a strong solution followed by a mild solution.  If the surfaces are coated immediately after they have been cleaned with a strongly alkaline solution, the total acid/free acid ratio should be higher than would otherwise be the case.  The phosphate coatings are particularly suitable for receiving a coating of paint or the like.  Specification 554,654 also is referred to.
