Types of Phosphate Coatings

Three principal types of phosphate coatings are in general use zinc, iron, and manganese. [Pg.96]

Iron phosphate coatings were the first to be used commercially. Early iron phosphating solutions consisted of ferrous phosphate/phosphoric acid [Pg.96]

Basically, then, iron phosphate formulations consist of primary phosphate salts and accelerators dissolved in a phosphoric acid solution. It is the acid that initiates the formation of a coating on a metal surface. When acid attacks the metal and begins to be consumed, solution pH at the metal surface rises slightly. This is what causes the primary phosphate salts to drop out of solution and react with the metal surface, forming a crystalline coating. [Pg.97]

Manganese-iron phosphate coatings are usually formed from high-temperature baths from 90 to 95 °C (190-200 °F). [Pg.98]

On the basis of pounds of chemicals consumed or tons of steel treated, the greatest use of phosphate coatings is as a base for paint. Phosphate coatings are also used to provide  [Pg.98]


Phosphate conversion coatings provide a highly crystalline, electrically neutral bond between a base metal and paint film. The most widespread use of phosphate coatings is to prolong the useful life of paint finishes. Phosphate coatings are primarily used on steel and galvanized surfaces but can also be applied to aluminum. Basically, there are three types of phosphate coatings ... [Pg.263]
