Phosphate Coatings on Zinc

Abstract
The physical properties of phosphate coatings on various zinc substrates have been examined and related to the kinetics of film formation as monitored by potential-time measurements. Grain size of the zinc was found to have a major influence on phosphate film formation: a large grain size yielded a uniform adherent coating at a rapid rate, but the heaviest coatings were obtained on substrates of small grain size. Coatings having a low pore density offered the greatest improvement in adhesion when paint films were applied.
