Abstract
A solution containing pentavalent vanadium is applied to a metal surface subsequent to conversion coating. The solution contains pentavalent vanadium ions which may be obtained from a sodium metavanadate or sodium metavanadate/orthovanadate solution that is acidified with an acid. Vanadium pentoxide may be dissolved in a base such as sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide or lithium hydroxide to form a basic concentrate which can be acidified conveniently after dilution. In one disclosed embodiment, the solution comprises vanadium pentoxide, sodium hydroxide, nitric acid and water which is applied to a phosphate conversion coated surface than rinsed with deionized water prior to priming and painting.
