Abstract: A metal surface on which a phosphate conversion coating is to be formed and which has been surface conditioned by contact with a liquid surface conditioner composition that contains dispersed fine particles of solid phosphate of at least one divalent or trivalent cations type and an adhesion promoting agent. After such conditioning, a very high quality conversion coating can be formed on the surface by contact with a nickel-free liquid phosphating composition that contains at least acid, zinc cations, and phosphate anions and optionally and preferably also contains other materials.

Abstract: A highly effective and storage stable conditioning treatment for metal surfaces prior to phosphating them is a suspension in water containing solid miorosize particles of at least one phosphate of a divalent or trivalent metal and an accelerant selected from the group consisting of sacoharides and their derivatives thereof, orthophosphoric acid, condensed phosphoric acids, organophosphonic acids, and polymers of vinyl acetate and/or carboxylic acid. The surface conditioning liquid composition is used simply by effecting contact between the metal and the liquid composition, and can also be used to simultaneously carry out degreasing, particularly when the conditioning liquid also contains nonionic or anionic surfactant.
