  • Post-treatment for metal coated substrates
    Patent number: 6527841
    Abstract: An aqueous composition for post-treating metal coated substrates such as cadmium-plated steel or zinc-nickel coated substrates and the process for using said composition to improve the corrosion-resistance, abrasion, and adhesion bonding properties of the metal coatings. The composition comprising an acidic aqueous solution having a pH ranging from about 2.5 to 4.5 containing effective amounts of trivalent chromium salts, an alkali metal hexafluorozirconate, at least one alkali metal fluoro-compound, and effective amounts of water soluble thickeners and/or surfactants.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 6, 2001
    Date of Patent: March 4, 2003
    Assignee: The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of the Navy
    Inventors: Craig A. Matzdorf, Michael J. Kane, James L. Green, III
  • Pretreatment for aluminum and aluminum alloys
    Patent number: 6521029
    Abstract: Pretreated aluminum and aluminum alloys and the process for pretreating said aluminum substrates to improve its corrosion-resistance, and adhesion properties which comprises pretreating said aluminums with an effective amount of an acidic aqueous solution having a pH ranging from about 2.5 to 4.5 and comprises effective amounts of a trivalent chromium compound, alkali metal hexafluorozirconates, at least one alkali metal fluoro-compound, and small but effective amounts of water soluble thickeners and/or surfactants.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 5, 2002

  • Post-treatment for anodized aluminum
    Patent number: 6511532
    Abstract: Composition for post-treating anodized aluminum and aluminum alloys and the process for using said composition to improve the corrosion-resistance, abrasion, and adhesion bonding properties of the anodized aluminum and its alloys. The composition comprises an acidic aqueous solution having a pH ranging from about 2.5 to 4.5 containing effective amounts of trivalent chromium salts, alkali metal hexafluorozirconates, an alkali metal fluoro-compound e.g. fluoroborates and/or fluorosilicates, and effective amounts of water soluble thickeners and surfactants.
