    摘要: The present invention relates to a method for phosphating metal surfaces in a layer-forming manner using a colloidal aqueous solution as an activation stage, containing a dispersed particulate constituent, the particulate constituent containing, in addition to dispersed inorganic compounds of phosphates of polyvalent metal cations, polymeric organic compounds as dispersing agents which are composed at least partially of styrene and/or an α-olefin having no more than 5 carbon atoms and are composed at least partially of maleic acid, its anhydride and/or its imide, the polymeric organic compounds additionally comprising polyoxyalkylene units. The cleaning and rinsing stages preceding the activation stage as well as the activation stage itself can be carried out using service water in a resource-saving manner without any loss of activation performance, the colloidal aqueous solution containing at least 0.5 mmol/L of alkaline-earth metal ions dissolved in water.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a method for at least partly coating an electrically conductive substrate with an electrocoat material, comprising at least contacting the substrate with an aqueous coating composition (A) as step (1), which is carried out in at least two successive stages (1a) and (1b), i.e., first at an applied voltage in a range from 1 to 50 V (1a), which is applied over a duration of at least 5 seconds, and then in a range from 50 to 400 V (1b), the voltage applied in (1b) being greater by at least 10 V than the voltage applied in (1a), with (A) comprising at least one cathodically depositable binder (A1), at least one organic monocarboxylic or polycarboxylic acid which has no nitrogen atom(s), and/or anions thereof (A3) and trivalent bismuth (A4), with (A3) and (A4) each being present in (A) in an amount such that their stoichiometry to one another allows at least 50 mol % of (A4) to be present in the form of a salt and/or complex of components (A3) and (A4), with the molar fractions of any zirconium ions and aminopolycarboxylic acids present in (A) to be lower by a factor in each case of 100 or of 15, respectively, than the molar fraction of (A4) present in (A); to a use of (A) for at least partly coating the substrate with an electrocoat material; to at least partly coated electrically conductive substrates obtainable by the method; and to articles or components produced from such substrates.

    摘要: The present invention relates to an aqueous coating composition (A) having a pH in a range from 4.0 to 6.5 and comprising at least one cathodically depositable binder (A1), a total amount of at least 130 ppm of Bi, based on the total weight of (A), including at least 30 ppm of Bi in a form (A3) in solution in (A) and at least 100 ppm of Bi in a form not in solution in (A), and at least one at least bidentate complexing agent (A5) suitable for complexing Bi, (A5) being present in (A) in a fraction of at least 5 mol %, based on the total amount of the Bi present in (A), for at least partly coating an electrically conductive substrate with an electrocoat material, to a method for producing (A), to the use of (A) for at least partly coating an electrically conductive substrate with an electrocoat material, to a corresponding coating method, to an at least partly coated substrate obtainable by this method, and to a method for setting and/or maintaining the concentration of component (A3) and/or (A4) in the coating composition (A) during the coating method.

    摘要: A method for phosphating metal surfaces in a layer-forming manner using a colloidal aqueous solution as an activation stage containing a dispersed particulate constituent, the particulate constituent containing dispersed inorganic compounds of phosphates of polyvalent metal cations; plus polymeric organic compounds as dispersing agents, which are composed at least partially of styrene and/or an α-olefin having no more than 5 carbon atoms and are composed at least partially of maleic acid, its anhydride and/or its imide, the polymeric organic compounds additionally comprising polyoxyalkylene units. In the activation stage of the method according to the invention, the addition of condensed phosphates can be dispensed with such that the content of dissolved condensed phosphates in the colloidal aqueous solution is less than 0.25, based on the phosphate content in the particulate constituent thereof, in each case based on the element P.
