Abstract

In a process for treating surfaces of zinc or cadmium or alloys consisting predominantly of one or both of these metals by means of a solution containing hexavalent chromium and one or more activating or other additions, periodical replenishment of the solution is effected with a solution containing hexavalent chromium in an amount such as to restore the original concentration and, for each grammol of CrO3 added as acid, from 1.5 to 7.0 gram equivalents of an acid with a pk less than 5.0. If a dichromate is used to replenish the hexavalent chromium an additional gram equivalent of the acid is required, while if a chromate is used, two additional gram equivalents of the acid are required. The replenishment solution may also contain the activating or other additions in proportion to the amounts lost by drag-out. Thus the added acid may serve simultaneously to introduce activating anions lost by drag-out. In the Examples, (1) a solution for brightening galvanized surfaces contains chromic, nitric and sulphuric acid and is replenished with these acids, (2) a solution for yellow-chromating p pure zinc, die-cast zinc and cadmium-plated parts contains chromic acid and sodium chloride and is replenished with chromium acid, sodium chloride and nitric acid, (3) a solution for yellow-chromating pure zinc and injection-moulded zinc articles contains chromic acid, sodium chloride, sodium sulphate and nitric acid and is replenished with a solution containing these compounds, and (4) a solution of green-chromating galvanized sheets and pure zinc sheets contains chromic acid, nitric acid and sodium formate and is replenished with chromic acid, sodium nitrate and formic acid. Other additions which may be present in solutions of this type are magnesium ions and radicals of fluoride and boric acid.
