Abstract
Abstract The adhesion and/or corrosion resistance of a autodeposited coating can be improved by rinsing the uncured coating with an aqueous treatment solution that has a pH between 7 and 11 and contains between 0.05 and 5 w/o of anions derived from multifunctional organic acids, preferably anions of 1-hydroxyethylidene-1,1-diphosphonic acid, citric acid, tartaric acid, and/or oxalic acid. The method is particularly useful on leaf springs and other metallic objects with surfaces of high carbon and/or shot blasted steel, and is particularly useful in conjunction with an autodeposition bath containing internally stabilized poly {vinylidene chloride} latex, hydrofluoric acid, ferric fluoride, and hydrogen peroxide.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 21
Claim 1
Independent Claim
132 words
A process for forming an autodeposited organic coating on the metallic parts of the surface of an object, said process comprising steps of contacting the metallic surface to be coated with a liquid autodepositing composition to produce an uncured intermediate coating thereon and subsequently drying said uncured intermediate coating to produce the final autodeposited organic coating, wherein the improvement comprises contacting the uncured intermediate coating, before drying it, with an aqueous adhesion and corrosion resistance promoting solution ("ACRPS") having a pH between about 7 and about 11 and comprising from a bout 0.05 to about 5 w/o of anions of multifunctional organic acids, wherein the ACRPS comprises at least about 0.05 w/o of anions derived from acids selected from the group consisting of 1,1-diphosphonic acids, citric acid, tartaric acid, and oxalic acid.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
132 words

Claim 3
Dependent Claim
37 words
A process according to claim 1, wherein the ACRPS comprises from about 0.2 to about 2 w/o of anions derived from acids selected from the group consisting of 1,1-diphosphonic acids, citric acid, tartaric acid, and oxalic acid.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
37 words
A process according to claim 2, wherein the ACRPS comprises from about 0.5 to about 1.5 w/o of anions derived from acids selected from the group consisting of citric acid, tartaric acid, oxalic acid, and 1-hydroxyethylidene-1,1-diphosphonic acid.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
108 words
A process according to claim 3, wherein the autodeposition bath used consists essentially of about 1.8 g/L of ferric fluoride, 5 g/L of carbon black pigment, sufficient solids from a poly{vinylidene chloride} based latex to yield from about 5.0 to about 5.4 w/o of total solids in the bath, hydrogen peroxide in such an amount as to produce an oxidation potential of from about 330 to about 370 millivolts more oxidizing than a silver-saturated silver chloride reference electrode on a platinum measuring electrode immersed in the bath, and sufficient hydrofluoric acid to impart to the autodeposition bath a pH within the range from about 1.6 to about 5.0.
