THE RAPID, LOW-TEMPERATURE PHOSPHATING OF STEEL ITEMS FOR CONSUMER-GOODS

The developed ''Diadem-1'' process enables one to quickly apply phosph ate coating on steel parts from a low-temperature bath. Being put in p ractice, the process consumed 3-5 times less power, materials, and lab or and by half increased the corrosion resistance of the manufactured consumer goods, as compared to traditional processes of applying phosp hate and oxide coatings. The strong adhesion of EP-140, ML-12, and EP- 1236 enamels to the phosphated surface was ensured and high-quality we lding of phosphated workpieces was possible.
