Test panels of HDG (hot dipped galvanized) steel and Galvalume® steel were prepared in the following manner.

The HDG steel panels were cleaned with a 3 wt. % solution of Parco® Cleaner 1200, available from Henkel Corporation, at a temperature of about 140° F. for about 20 seconds. The panels were then hot water rinsed at a temperature of about 120° F. for about 10 seconds. The panels were then squeegeed dry. Compositions 1 and 2 were then diluted to about 66 wt. % and were then applied to the panels using a No. 3 draw bar. The panels were then dried in an IR oven. The total coating weight on the panels were about 4-8 mg / ft2.

Galvalume® steel panels were cleaned and treated in the same manner except they were only cleaned for about 7 seco...

HDG and Galvalume® steel test panels were cleaned with a 4 wt. % solution of Ridoline® 321 at a temperature of about 140° F. for about 30 seconds. The panels were then hot water rinsed at a temperature of about 120° F. for about 10 seconds. The panels were then squeegeed dry. Composition 1 was applied to the panels using various drawbars. The test panels were then subjected to (i) Stack testing, (ii) Butler Water Immersion testing, and (iii) NSS testing for 72 hours in the manner set forth above in Example 1.

Abstract

In at least one embodiment, the present invention relates to a process for the temporary anti-corrosive treatment of a metal surface that consist predominantly of aluminum and/or zinc, said process comprising a) placing the surface of the metal in contact with an anti-corrosive composition comprising 2.0-400 g/L phosphate ions, 0.5-400 g/L fluorometallate ions, and having a pH of between 1.0-4.0, for a time period of between 0.1-200 seconds, b) drying the anti-corrosive treatment composition on the metal surface to form a primary passivating coating on the metal surface, c) removing the primary passivating coating from the metal surface, and d) conversion coating the metal surface. In certain embodiments, the phosphate solution comprises phosphoric acid and the fluorometallate solution comprises hexafluorotitanic acid.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention In at least one aspect, the present invention relates to compositions and processes for passivating, i.e., forming a corrosion protective surface layer, on metal surfaces that consist predominantly of aluminum and / or zinc. A wide variety of such surfaces are in normal use, including many kinds of galvanized and / or aluminized steel, and the invention is applicable to such surfaces which differ from the underlying metal, as well as to solid alloys of aluminum and / or zinc. 2. Background Art Zinc (zinciferous) and zinc alloy (such as aluminiferous) coatings are frequently used to protect steel from corrosion. Two common types of metal-coated steel typically used are galvanized steel (zinc) and Galvalume® (55% Al, 43.5% Zn, 1.5% Si). Both galvanized steel and Galvalume® have long service lifetimes as a result of galvanic and / or sacrificial corrosion protection afforded by the coatings. While the underlying steel is protected, the ...
