- the present invention relates to improvements in compositions and methods for the chemical treatment of metal surfaces, and more particularly to a composition and a method for color passivation of zinc and cadmium.
- the invention is of particular advantage in providing a color passive film on zinc and cadmium in order to increase the corrosion resistance of articles made therefrom, or articles having a zinc or cadmium surface, such as zincor cadmium-based alloys, zinc castings, and, specifically, articles having a zincor cadmium-plated coating.
- Zinc and cadmium become corroded in a relatively short time under the effect of atmospheric moisture.
- they may be passivated in acid solutions of hexavalent chromium.
- Aqueous solutions are known in this art for passivating zinc and cadmium containing chromic anhydride, sulphate ions, boric and nitric acids (cf. US. Pat. No. 2,904,414), or hexavelent chromium, sulphate ions, nitrate ions and acetate or borate ions (cf. US. Pat. No. 3,121,032).
- the solution containing hexavalent chromium, sulphate ions, nitrate ions, and acetate or borate ions is conductive to the formation of colorless passive films on articles having a zinc or cadmium surface, but again their corrosion resistance fails to increase significantly.
- the above methods can be applied in order to obtain decorative films on articles having a Zinc or cadmium surface.
- a zinc or cadmium surface shows its first signs of corrosion even before a 20 to 30 hour period has expired.
- Another object of the invention is to provide a dry composition for adjusting the solution for color passivation of zinc and cadmium.

- the novel method for passivating zinc and cadmium by dipping them into an aqueous solution containing a hexavalent chromium compound comprises using a composition having the folowing ingredientcontents in an aqueous solution thereof (in g/l):
- the proposed composition for color passivating zinc and cadmium is a mixture of non-volatile solid substances which is easy to prepare, to transport, to store and to use. The latter requirement is attained by an easy preparation of the passivating solution, as well as in the facile adjustment and control thereof. If neces sary, the composition may be prepared on the spot by conventional mechanical blending starting ingredients.
- a bright color passive film is formed on the zinc or cadmium surface.
- This passive film has bright opalescent tints even if the zinc or cadmium surface was dull prior to treatment.
- the passive films obtained by the novel method are abrasion-resistant in the course of passivating, therefore use may be made of manually operated and automatic apparatus of both stationary and rotary type may be used.
- the passive films obtained by the method provided herein have a high corrosion resistance.
- the passive film formed on a zinc or cadmium surface is tested for corrosion resistance by the so-called salt fog method whereby the film is subjected to a continuous action of a fog produced by spraying in a testing cabinet with a 5% aqueous neutral solution of sodium chloride at a temperature of 35 2*: 1C.
- the corrosion resistance of a film is determined by the time interval between the onset of the test and the moment of the ap- Example 1.
- chromic anhydride (calculated as chromium) potassium chromate (calculated as chromium) cadmium nitrate (calculated as N0 potassium sulphate (calculated as 50 sodium tetraborate (calculated as boron) 0: -amino glutaric acid Example 2.
- a-aminoisoca roic acid 30. a-amino B-p enyl-propionic acid.
- a passivating solution is prepared by dissolving the dry passivating composition in water.
- the solution is, if necessary, adjusted with an acid such I as sulphuric acid, or a hydroxide such as sodium hydroxide, to maintain the solution pH within a range of from 1.1 to 2.8.
- the preferable pH of the passivating solution within this range depends on the time of the treatment of a zinc or cadmium surface by the solution. In case the passivation takes little time (3 to 8 seconds), the optimum pH would be 1.1 to 1.7, and if passivating treatment lasts longer (20 to 16 seconds), the optimum pH would be from 1.7 to 2.5.
- the optimum pH of the solution would be from 1.6 to 2.3.
- the time for treatment of a zinc or cadmium surface with a passivating solution may vary from 3 to sec, but usually it lies within 10 to 35 seconds.
- articles having a zinc or cadmium surface are dipped into a passivating solution for a definite period of time depending on the properties of the solution, then removed therefrom, rinsed in running cold water, then in heated water, and, finally, dried.
- the zinc or cadmium surface is coated with a color opalescent passive film of high corrosion resistance.
- the solution contain less amino acid.
- the concentration of the solution ingredients is constantly diminishing due to a reaction between the workpiece surface and the solution, and a dilution of the solution.
- An outstanding feature of the present invention is the possibility of replenishing and adjusting the passivating solution, in the course of passivating the treatment, by adding the above dry passivating compositions and an acid in the amounts is dictated by the assays, e.g. hexavalent chromium and pH.

- Said solution was further used for passivating zinc articles. ln the'course of passivating, the solution was replenished with sulphuric acid and the dry passivating composition of Example 1 in amounts as based on the assays for pH and hexavalent chromium. Throughout the passivating process, the solution was adjusted by adding an amount of dry composition sufficient for the volume of the solution to become five-fold of that of which it originally was. After passivating zinc plated surfaces of 0.1, 1.0, 10.0 and 30.0 square meters the, samples were taken for corrosion tests in a salt-fog cabinet. The first signs of corrosion appeared, in the first three cases, after 120 hours and, in the fourth case, after hours of testing.
