Abstract

L'invention concerne un prétraitement chimique par voie humide de surfaces en zinc avant l'application d'un revêtement anticorrosif. Le prétraitement chimique par voie humide provoque le dépôt d'un revêtement organique mince, qui est sensiblement constitué de fer oxydique et/ou métallique. Une couche de fer appliquée selon l'invention - désignée par la suite par dépôt de fer - entraîne une amélioration de la protection contre la corrosion, pouvant être obtenue, de revêtements de conversion chimiques par voie humide sur des surfaces en zinc connus dans l'état de la technique. Par ailleurs, le dépôt de fer provoque à la fois la diminution de la corrosion par contact d'éléments métalliques assemblés présentant des surfaces en zinc et en fer et une diminution de l'infiltration par la corrosion dans le vernis au niveau des arêtes de coupe d'un feuillard galvanisé présentant plusieurs couches de vernis. L'invention concerne en particulier une composition alcaline pour le dépôt de fer, contenant une source d'ions fer, un réducteur à base d'oxoacides des éléments azote et phosphore, et des acides carboxyliques organiques solubles dans l'eau, comprenant un groupe amino dans la position α, ß- ou γ par rapport au groupe acide et/ou à leurs sels solubles dans l'eau.
