Metallic and other inorganic coatings - Phosphate
conversion coating of metals
Warning — This Standard calls for the use of substances and/or procedures that
could be injurious to health if adequate safety measures are not taken. This
Standard does not address any health hazards, safety or environmental matters
associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the producers, purchasers and/or
users of this document to establish appropriate health, safety and environmentally
acceptable practices and take appropriate actions.
1 Scope
This Standard specifies methods for determining the requirements for phosphate
conversion coating.
This Standard applies to ferrous materials, aluminum, zinc, cadmium and their alloys
(see Appendix A).

4 Information to be supplied by the purchaser to the
processor
The following information shall be provided by the purchaser.
a) A description of the phosphate conversion coating according to this document (see
5.2).
b) In cases of steel parts with tensile strength not less than 1 000 MPa, possibly also
locally restricted, e.g. for case-hardened or cold-formed structures or in weld seam
areas, the safety against hydrogen embrittlement is of primary importance. The
phosphatising process shall be carried out in such a manner that any damage
caused by hydrogen-induced brittleness is excluded. Technical measures to
minimize the risk of hydrogen-induced brittleness shall be provided by the supplier
and the customer. Heat treatment in accordance with any recommendations cannot
guarantee full freedom from hydrogen embrittlement. The performance of the heat
treatment shall be demonstrated by the supplier.
c) The sampling procedure, the acceptable quality limit or any other requirements
and tests that deviate from GB/T 12609.
d) The surface treatment or phosphating.
e) The appearance of the surface.
f) The corrosion resistance.
g) a symbol, which indicates the function of the conversion coating as follows:
1) e – electrical insulation;
2) g – reduction of friction (sliding action);
3) r – adhesion promoter and/or corrosion protection;
4) z – simplification of cold forming.
h) a solidus “/”.
i) a number, which indicates the surface-related mass per square meter, in g/m2, with
a measurement uncertainty of ±30%.
If the phosphate coating receives a supplementary treatment, the following information
shall be added to the designation:
j) a solidus “/”.
k) a symbol, which defines the supplementary treatment (see Table 2).
If necessary, mark additional information according to the following principles:
Solidi “/” shall be used to separate data fields in the designation corresponding to the
different sequential processing steps. Double separators or solidi indicate that a step in
the process is either not required or has been omitted (see ISO 27830).
6 Phosphate conversion coating
6.1 Appearance
Zinc phosphate, zinc calcium phosphate and manganese phosphate coatings shall
evenly cover the metal surface and shall not show any white stains, corrosion products
or fingerprints.
Note: Slight fluctuations in the appearance of phosphate coatings because of contact
with frames, properties of the base material or through minor contact inside the
drum do not constitute any reason for claim.
6.2 Coating mass per unit area
The coating mass is measured in accordance with the procedures specified in GB/T
9792.
Appendix B
(Informative)
Identification of phosphate conversion coating
B.1 General
This Appendix describes methods for identifying the type of phosphate conversion
coating. The methods are applicable to coatings containing phosphorus, iron,
manganese, zinc and calcium. They are not applicable to the detection of iron or zinc if
these metals are present in the basis material.
B.2 Method 1
B.2.1 Principle
Removal of the phosphate conversion coating from a test specimen by treatment with
sodium hydroxide solution. Detection of the elements present in the solution by any
suitable instrumental analytical technique, e.g., atomic absorption spectrometry.
B.2.2 Reagents
During the analysis, use only reagents of recognized analytical grade and deionized
water (or water of equivalent purity).

B.2.3 Apparatus
Use ordinary laboratory apparatus and any appropriate instrument suitably equipped for
