Abstract:
A method includes providing a workpiece with at least one surface having an anodized aluminum coating and a trivalent chromium sealant. The at least one surface of the workpiece is submerged in a post-treatment sealant solution for 0.5 to 20 minutes. The sealant composition consists essentially of a corrosion inhibitor, an organic complexing agent, and an oxidant.
Abstract:
It is intended to provide a chromium (III)-containing aqueous solution which has widely adjustable molar ratios of various acid radicals to Cr and is useful as a source of trivalent chromium or a supplementary source of trivalent chromium for the bath in the surface treatment of various metals. Specifically, the chromium (III)-containing aqueous solution is characterized by containing a complex chromium (III) salt which is produced by performing chromic acid reduction reaction in the simultaneous or sequential presence of two or more acids selected from an inorganic acid other than chromic acid and an organic acid. Furthermore, it is intended to provide a process for producing a chromium (III)-containing aqueous solution by performing chromic acid reduction reaction by the contact of chromic acid with an acid other than chromic acid and/or an organic reducing agent in a water solvent, characterized in that the chromic acid reduction reaction is performed in the simultaneous or sequential presence of at least two or more acids selected as the acid other than chromic acid from an inorganic acid and an organic acid.

Surface treated metal materials with corrosion-resistant coating layers composed mainly of oxyacid compounds of rare earth elements (lanthanum, cerium, etc.) or Group IVA elements (zirconium, etc.), oxyacids or mixtures thereof. The corrosion resistant coating layers may also contain resins. Also provided are corrosion resistant coating layers containing rare earth element and Group IVA element compounds in resin matrixes. The corrosion resistant coating layers, particularly inorganic layers, may be covered with resin layers.
Abstract:
An immersion bath composition and a method for applying a heavy, non-powdery coating of iron phosphate on a ferrous substance which is characterized by the addition of an effective amount of gluconic acid to a solution containing phosphoric acid, a soda ash, a chlorate or organic accelerator and water. Using conventional phosphating bath parameters, immersion of a ferrous substrate into the bath produces a heavy, strongly adherent, iron phosphate coating which is non-powdery or dust free and highly satisfactory for paint pre-treatment of the substrate surface.
Abstract:
Copper can be directly chemically converted by the disclosed method and a novel copper-based metallic member is proposed. The chemical conversion film formed on the copper-based metallic member comprises phosphate and copper halide. The chemical conversion bath contains metal ions, phosphoric acid ions, halogen ions, and oxidizer.
Abstract:
A conversion coating solution for treating metallic surfaces has a pH value in the range of 3 to 6 and contains 1 g/l to 50 g/l of an acid alkali phosphate as phosphate ions, 0.2 g/l to 20 g/l of one or more of chlorates and bromates, and 0.01 g/l to 0.5 g/l of tin ions, with a weight ratio of chlorine ions to tin ions being between 0.6 and 6. The solution provides a continuous and uniform conversion coating having high anti-corrosion performance.
