Abstract
Abstract A process for phosphating a metal surface to be electrocoated, which comprises treating the metal surface with an acidic phosphating solution comprising a zinc compound in a concentration of 0.5 to 1.5 g/l as zinc ion, a phosphate in a concentration of 5 to 30 g/l as phosphate ion and a nitrite in a concentration of 0.01 to 0.2 g/l as nitrite ion and/or an aromatic nitro compound in a concentration of 0.05 to 2 g/l in water at a temperature of 40 to 70 DEG C. first by dipping for not less than 15 seconds and then by spraying for not less than 2 seconds.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
153 words
In a process for forming an electrocoated film on the surface of a metal substrate by subjecting said metal surface to phosphating and then to cationic electrocoating, the improvement wherein the phosphating consists essentially of first dipping the metal surface into an acidic phosphating solution consisting essentially of a zinc compound in a concentration of 0.5 to 1.5 g/l as a zinc ion, a phosphate in a concentration of 5 to 30 g/l as a phosphate ion and a nitrite in a concentration of 0.01 to 0.2 g/l as a nitrite ion and/or an aromatic nitro compound in a concentration of 0.05 to 2 g/l in water and a chlorate in a concentration of 0.05 to 2 g/l as a chlorate ion, at a temperature of 40° to 70° C. for not less than 15 seconds and then spraying the metal surface with said acidic phosphate solution for not less than 2 seconds.

Claim 3
Dependent Claim
27 words
The process according to claim 1, wherein the acidic phosphating solution further comprises a nitrate in a concentration of 1 to 10 g/l as a nitrate ion.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
46 words
The process according to claim 1 or 2, wherein the acidic phosphating solution further comprises a nickel compound in a concentration of 0.05 to 2 g/l as a nickel ion and/or a cobalt compound in a concentration of 0.05 to 2 g/l as a cobalt ion.
