• the eutectic compositions given in Table 1 are approximate. According to the publications, they can vary from a few percent. These differences are due to the purity of the fatty acids used.

The optimum concentration is about 8 to 12 g / l H 2 O 2 in the solution.
• Co ⁇ preferred solvent is 3-methoxy-3-methylbutan-1-ol (MMB). It is a green and biodegradable solvent. In addition, its flash point, which is the temperature from which it becomes flammable, is 71 0 C, compared for example with that of ethanol which is 12 0 C.

• Eutectic is prepared by melting for several hours the mixture of fatty acids component. The mixture is then slowly cooled to room temperature.
• electrogalvanized steel sheets (thickness of the Zn layer: 7.5 ⁇ m) were treated to obtain a weight of carboxylated layer of between 1 and 2 g / m 2 , of which experience shows that it provides a maximum coverage rate of the sheet.
• the weight of the carboxylate layer is evaluated by measuring the difference in mass between the carboxylate substrate and the substrate etched with dichloroethane under ultrasound, which treatment causes the dissolution of the carboxylate layer.

• Dusting of the samples was evaluated by measuring the mass difference of the substrate before and after successive passes between two squeezing rollers.
• the loss of mass thus measured can be related to the dusting tendency of the coating.
• Tribological tests were carried out to evaluate the lubricating properties of the coating during stamping. They were carried out on a plane / plane tribometer with control of the clamping force, by scrolling the sample of tight plate at a speed of 1 to 100 mm / s, and by measuring revolution of the distance between the flat tools ensuring the tightening of the sample. It is thus possible to determine the coefficient of friction as a function of the clamping pressure.

• Figure 4 shows this same trend for the corrosion potential E cor r in corrosive water, for the three coatings tested previously defined and , by way of reference, for an electrogalvanized EG non-carboxylate coating.
• the coatings according to the invention have much better performances than coatings resulting from simple electrogalging.
• the polarization resistance is of the order of 2 k ⁇ .cm 2
• the carboxylation coatings usually made with water-solvent solutions based on a single fatty acid provide only one relatively weak improvement of this value (up to 15 k ⁇ .cm 2 ).
• the coatings according to the invention provide values of the order of 5 to 15 times higher than those observed for coatings electrozinced alone.
• the coatings obtained with HCi 2 / HCi 6 in the first place, and thanks to HCi 2 / HCis second, provide the best results in absolute value and stability over time.
• those of the coatings according to the invention are 80 to 140 mV higher than the values obtained for the electrogalvanized coating.
• the HCi 2 / HCi 6 again gives the best result.
• Coatings obtained using a single fatty acid in a water-solvent medium usually provide corrosion potentials of the order of -1020 to -1080 mV, and therefore less favorable than those of the coatings according to the invention.
• the resistance to atmospheric corrosion was also estimated by observing the percentage of the surface of the corroded sample after 20 cycles of exposure, as defined above.
• this coating is not very subject to dusting. After 20 passes on stripper rolls, a layer weight loss of 0.2 g / m 2 was measured, against 0.4 g / m 2 for a steel coated with a Zn (Cv) 2 conversion layer.
• the carboxylation coatings obtained with the aid of binary mixtures of fatty acids with the composition of the eutectic have performance at least equal, and often superior to all points of view, to those coatings obtained with the aid of single fatty acids in water-solvent medium. Overall, the HCi 2 / HC 16 mixture is the most satisfactory of those tested.
• Another method is to prepare the surface before carboxylation by removing the I 2 O 3 layer:
• alkaline degreasing NaOH, surfactants, complexing agents
• alkaline oxidation NaOH, iron and cobalt salts, complexing agents
• H 2 SO 4 acid attack
• composition difference (in mol%) with respect to the eutectic x% - y% should not exceed x + 5% - y + 5% and preferably x + 3% - y + 3%, for binary eutectics or x + 3%, y + 3% - z + 3% for ternary eutectics.
• surfactants a wide variety of compounds have been used, generally chosen from nonionic surfactants and especially:
• alkylpolyglycosides such as Agrimul PG 215 CS VP and Glucopon 225 DK / HH from the company COGNIS; these surfactants are sugar-based, non-toxic and have exceptional resistance to alkalis and salts;
• ethoxylated fatty alcohols such as Brij 58 from ACROS
• dispersants it is possible to use especially high molecular weight polyols, carboxylic acid salts such as (meth) acrylic copolymers, polyamide derivatives such as polyamide waxes. Under these conditions, the optimum for the oxygenated water concentration is between 2 and 8 g / l. With single fatty acids, carboxylation without an organic solvent by means of a simple aqueous emulsion does not provide optimal coatings for corrosion protection because the weight of the carboxylate layer is relatively low. It has therefore been verified whether the use of eutectic fatty acids under these conditions could be more satisfactory.
• carboxylation emulsions containing water, the surfactant APG 215 mentioned above and the eutectic HCl 2 / HCl 6 81/19% were prepared.
• the tested emulsions had the following compositions:
• emulsion A with a low concentration of APG 215 makes it possible to release the fatty acids more rapidly.
• a coat weight of 1.2 g / m 2 is reached in 5 s, while 10 s are needed to achieve a layer weight comparable with other emulsions.
• contents of APG 215 of 1 to 3% no marked effect of surfactant concentration is observed.
• the oxidant concentration also has no very appreciable effect in the explored range.
• the size of the crystals does not seem to be related to the composition of the emulsion.
• the product of the carboxylation is not well crystallized, and its composition is close to ZnC 12 Ci ⁇ .
• Polarization resistance and corrosion potential measurements were made under the same conditions as above, and compared to those obtained on an electrogalvanized coating EG. The results are illustrated in Figures 6 and 7 respectively. It appears that in aqueous corrosion, all the coatings provide a higher polarization resistance than the electrogalvanized coating alone during the first minutes of immersion, then stabilize at values equal to or slightly greater than that of the electrogalvanized coating. Emulsions that are less rich in surfactant provide the best results. For the corrosion potential, the different coatings have comparable behavior and provide a more favorable corrosion potential than that of electrogalvanized sheet.
• a mixture HCl 2 / HCl 6 was also prepared in respective molar proportions of 77 and 23% (thus deviating slightly from the eutectic 81-19% but remaining in accordance with the invention) in a water / solvent medium ( MMB). This mixture was put in the form of a melt eutectic as previously indicated, and two carboxylation solutions were made using this eutectic mixture.

• their implementation does not require or little control and post-treatment of the effluents.
• the oxidizing conditions have been obtained using hydrogen peroxide. But, as is known, they could have been obtained with other oxidants, or by the application to the carboxylation bath of an electrical current of the order of intensity, for example, from 10 to 25 mA / cm. 2 .
