Reactive lubrication of phosphated metal surfaces is improved by using a combination of (A) a complexing agent for the divalent metal cations that are displaced from the phosphated layer into the lubricating solution and (B) organic molecules having at least one ether or hydroxyl oxygen for each eight carbon atoms, along with the conventional soluble soap, in the solution used for reactive lubrication. Most preferably, EDTA or its salts are used as the complexing agent and polyethylene glycol as component (B), with the concentration of EDTA being adjusted as needed during the process to keep the concentration of total titratable metals in the lubricating solution below 0.05 % by weight, and the amount of polyethylene glycol being adjusted as needed to maintain the optimum viscosity of the lubricating solution and optimum ratios of reactive to unreacted lube coating weights and of reacted lube coating weight to conversion coating loss.
磷化
金属表面的反应润滑可通过以下组合得到改善:(A) 二价
金属阳离子的络合剂,这些阳离子从
磷化层转移到润滑溶液中;(B) 有机分子,在用于反应润滑的溶液中,每八个碳原子中至少有一个醚氧或羟基氧,以及传统的可溶性肥皂。最理想的情况是使用
EDTA 或其盐类作为络合剂,聚
乙二醇作为成分 (B),在加工过程中根据需要调整
EDTA 的浓度,以保持润滑溶液中可滴定
金属的总浓度低于 0.05%(按重量计),并根据需要调整聚
乙二醇的用量,以保持润滑溶液的最佳粘度以及反应润滑油涂层重量与未反应润滑油涂层重量以及反应润滑油涂层重量与转换涂层损失的最佳比率。
