  • Metal surface-treating method
    Patent number: 6458219
    Abstract: This invention provides a metal surface-treating method which comprises a chemical conversion step of dipping a substrate in an acidic aqueous zinc phosphate solution, and using an aqueous zinc nitrite solution as an accelerator, said aqueous zinc nitrite solution being substantially free of calcium ion and containing 0 to 6500 ppm of sodium ion and 0 to 20 ppm of sulfate ion in case of assuming the concentration of zinc nitrite [Zn(NO2)2] therein to be 10 weight % as NO2.

  • Aqueous zinc nitrite solution and method for preparing the same
    Publication number: 20020001559
    Abstract: An aqueous zinc nitrite solution contains as impurities 10 ppm or less of sodium (Na) and 100 ppm or less of sulfate ions (SO4) when the aqueous solution has a concentration of zinc nitrite [Zn(NO2)2] of 10% by weight in terms of NO2. Also, disclosed is a method for preparing an aqueous zinc nitrite solution, including a first step of reacting zinc sulfate with calcium nitrite to form an aqueous zinc nitrite solution and a second step of purifying the aqueous zinc nitrite solution.
