A process for controlling the layer weight during the phosphating of steel strip zinc-coated on one or both sides, using a phosphating solution which contains 1 to 6 g/l zinc ions and 10 to 30 g/l phosphate ions, characterized in that a Fe(II) ion content within the range of 3 to 100 mg/l is established in the phosphating solution. The higher the Fe(II) content, the lower is the layer weight. An alteration in the Fe(II) content of 3 to 20 mg/l results in an alteration in the layer weight of about 0.1 g/m .

Process for phosphating steel strip galvanized on one side

The invention relates to a vertical electroplating cell for processing metal strips in which the strip to be processed running from an upper conductor roll is led to a lower deflecting immersion roll and from there to a further upper conductor roll, the respective descending and ascending strip portion to be processed being subjected in a canal between vertically disposed anodes to the electrolyte flow conducted in circulation at high speed against strip running direction. In such a electroplating cell the circulation of large electrolyte amounts using the minimum possible pump energy is achieved in that the electrolyte flow directed in each case in the canals (6, 7) between the anode rows (5, 7) against the strip running direction are generated via liquid jet pumps disposed on outer canals between rear sides of anode rows and housing walls.

Method and apparatus for processing metal strip in vertical

The invention concerns a process for the electrodeposition of metals, especially zinc, on to metal strip, particularly steel strip, from an aqueous solution of the metal salts, using high relative flow velocities between electrolyte and strip and electrolyte and anodes, the metal strip being introduced vertically into the electrolyte, turned around and led vertically out of the electrolyte. A process of this nature should enable high current densities to be employed, including in vertical cells in which the metal strip, in particular steel strip, is passed vertically through the electrolyte, and permit even relative flows between the metal strip and the electrolyte, thus producing even deposition conditions for the parts of the metal strip entering and leaving the cell. The invention proposes that the electrolyte is forced to flow against the direction of strip travel throughout the section between the anodes and the metal strip. The equipment envisaged for carrying out the process is designed so that the electrolytic cell (1) is fitted with shaft-shaped sections (8, 12) for the strip entrance (8) and exit (12), within which sections (8, 12) the anodes (9, 11) are arranged parallel to each other and to the metal strip (6), and the sections (8, 12) are connected by a communicating lower part of the cell (13), and the top of the section (8) for the strip entrance is set lower than the top of the section (12) for the strip exit by the dimension .DELTA. h.

Process for the electrodeposition of metals

There is disclosed a method and a device for the continuous electrolytic deposition of metals from aqueous solutions of metallic salts onto a metal strip using a high flow speed of the electrolyte between anode and cathode in order to obtain high current densities at relatively low voltages, especially for the electrolytic coating of steel strip with non-ferrous metals, preferably with zinc. In order, particularly, in the case of a one-sided strip coating, to set and be able to regulate a very small distance between anode and cathode, these is thereby achieved low voltage losses in the electrolyte and a correspondingly lesser development of heat, while inducing a very rapid exchange of the electrolyte in the space between anode and cathode. There is obtained a high current density. Finally, not to adversely affect the industrial qualities of the strip by a very low friction of the strip to be coated, it is disclosed that the metal strip as cathode be passed along a rotating cylindrical anode and that fresh electrolytic solution be constantly introduced into the space formed between anode and cathode.
