Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
63 words
A dip phosphating process, which comprises introducing a substrate to be phosphated into a bath containing a phosphating solution, while undulating, without splashing, the phosphating solution at the entrance section of the bath, wherein the substrate is washed by spouting a phosphating solution and/or water thereto when the substrate is taken out of the phosphating solution in the bath at the exit section.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
63 words
A dip phosphating process, which comprises introducing a substrate to be phosphated into a bath containing a phosphating solution, while undulating, without splashing, the phosphating solution at the entrance section of the bath, wherein the substrate is washed by spouting a phosphating solution and/or water thereto when the substrate is taken out of the phosphating solution in the bath at the exit section.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
15 words
The process according to claim 1 wherein the phosphating solution in the bath is circulated.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
111 words
A dip phosphating process comprising introducing a substrate into a phosphating bath, dipping the substrate in the phosphating solution in the bath until the substrate is phosphated and taking out the phosphated substrate from the phosphating bath, characterized in that the introduction of the substrate into the phosphating bath is carried out while undulating, without splashing, the phosphating solution in the bath at the entrance section of the bath so as to prevent the stepped unevenness of the phosphating and wherein a phosphating solution or water is spouted against the substrate when the substrate is removed from the bath so as to remove any sludge which may have been developed thereupon.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
111 words
A dip phosphating process comprising introducing a substrate into a phosphating bath, dipping the substrate in the phosphating solution in the bath until the substrate is phosphated and taking out the phosphated substrate from the phosphating bath, characterized in that the introduction of the substrate into the phosphating bath is carried out while undulating, without splashing, the phosphating solution in the bath at the entrance section of the bath so as to prevent the stepped unevenness of the phosphating and wherein a phosphating solution or water is spouted against the substrate when the substrate is removed from the bath so as to remove any sludge which may have been developed thereupon.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
23 words
The process according to claim 3, wherein the undulation of the phosphating solution is produced by spouting the phosphating solution from nozzle holes.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
33 words
The process according to claim 3, wherein the dipping of the substrate is carried out, while transferring the substrate from the entrance section of the bath to the exit section of the bath.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
43 words
The process according to claim 5, wherein the transfer of the substrate is carried out while spouting the phosphating solution through nozzle holes so as to move any sludge from the exit section of the bath to the central section of the bath.
