Definitions

  • the materials and forms used for this purpose are usually the "bare" metals whose surfaces have no coating, which provide adequate protection against corrosion of the material or are suitable for the application of a paint system. Such "bare” surfaces are in addition to the actual metal surfaces and those that are only provided for transport or storage with corrosion protection oils.
  • the manufacturers of steel strips in particular also supply pre-phosphated materials that can be provided with an immersion paint directly by the respective OEMs before further lacquer layers are applied.
  • the object of the present invention is now to prevent the occurrence of inhomogeneities in the electrodeposition coating ("mapping") in the anticorrosive treatment of components assembled from metallic components, which at least partially also consist of pre-phosphated zinc surfaces, and which have been given a heat treatment.
  • the water-soluble phosphate is the total amount of phosphates dissolved in the acidic aqueous dispersion, based on PO 4 .
  • the content of water-soluble phosphates is preferably adjusted via those phosphate salts which completely dissolve in an acidic aqueous dispersion of the process according to the invention and thereby dissociate into their ionogenic constituents.
  • the proportion of particulate oxides necessary for additional stabilization of the acidic aqueous dispersion before agglomeration is preferably at least 1 ppm, more preferably at least 10 ppm, with contents above 500 ppm in the acidic dispersions with the preferred content of insoluble phosphates providing no further benefit , It is advantageous for optimum stabilization of the insoluble phosphates if the particulate oxides have a particle diameter of not more than 0.5 ⁇ m, in particular not more than 0.1 ⁇ m. In this case, the average particle size of the insoluble phosphates is preferably at least greater than that of the particulate oxides.
  • step (D) For the electrodeposition coating in step (D), the dipping lacquers known in detail to the person skilled in the art are applicable.
  • metallic components treated according to the present invention are used in construction and architectural applications, as well as for the manufacture of automotive bodywork and the manufacture of "white goods" and electronic enclosures.
