  • Publication number: 20180237919
    Abstract: Provided herein is a process for the pretreatment of workpieces having a surface of aluminum or aluminum alloys for noncutting forming and/or joining by welding or adhesive bonding to similarly pretreated, precoated workpieces, or to precoated parts. The parts are composed of steel, galvanized steel, and/or alloy-galvanized steel. Further provided herein is a subsequent permanent corrosion-protecting treatment by phosphating, by means of a chromium-free conversion treatment, by application of primer, or by surface coating, wherein the workpieces are a) pickled by means of an aqueous, acidic solution comprising mineral acid by dipping or spraying, b) rinsed with water, and c) brought into contact with an aqueous, acidic, chromium-free solution comprising Zr as complex fluoride and Mo as molybdate by application by dipping or spraying. After subsequent drying, a layer weight from 2 to 15 mg/m2 of Zr and Mo is formed.

  • Publication number: 20060228481
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for coating surfaces of metallic substrates with an organic, anionically, cationically, or/and radically hardenable anti-corrosive composition that represents a dispersion or solution containing at least two components selected among the group of monomers, oligomers, and polymers which can at least partly be anionically, cationically, or/and radically hardened, the content of at least one monofunctional monomer or/and oligomer in said anti-corrosive composition ranging between 1 and 50 percent by weight. The inventive anti-corrosive composition further comprises at least one photoinitiator used for anionic, cationic, or/and radical crosslinking, and a first, organic corrosion inhibitor. The anti-corrosive composition is applied to the metallic surfaces at a wet film thickness ranging from 1 to 25 micrometers, is optionally dried, and is then anionically, cationically, or/and radically hardened in order to obtain an anti-corrosive coating.
