Abstract: A multi-step method for anti-corrosion pretreatment of components made from metallic materials, in which a wet chemical treatment with an aqueous composition (A) containing a dissolved and/or dispersed polymer P, which is substituted with heterocycles containing at least one quaternary nitrogen heteroatom, is followed by a conversion treatment based on water-soluble compounds of the elements Zr, Ti, and/or Si before further anti-corrosion coatings are optionally applied.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for serial surface treatment of metallic components comprising aluminum surfaces, wherein an alkaline pretreatment is followed by a conversion treatment. According to the invention, the intention during the alkaline pretreatment is that a maximum value for the concentration of dissolved zinc is not exceeded, in order to ensure a sufficient quality of the corrosion-protective coating on the aluminum surface of the components following the surface treatment. In a preferred embodiment, the content of dissolved zinc is effectively held below the respective bath-typical maximum value of dissolved zinc by the addition of compounds constituting a source of sulfide ions. The functionality of the surface treatment can be additionally increased by likewise controlling the content of dissolved aluminum in the alkaline pretreatment such that, by adding compounds constituting a source for silicate anions, a threshold value for dissolved aluminum is not exceeded.

Abstract: The subject matter of the present invention is a multi-step method for the anti-corrosive coating of metal components, in which a reaction rinse is used after a conversion treatment but before electrodeposition is carried out on the component. The conversion treatment includes first the deposition of a thin inorganic layer containing the elements Zr and/or Ti. The metal component is then treated with a reaction rinse containing a surface-active substance and is subsequently subjected to electrodeposition.
