ZINCIMANGANESE PHOSPHATE COATINGS, I
FOR CARBON AND LOW ALLOY STEEL
1.0 SCOPE:
Tris specification defines the requirements for zinofmanganese phosphate coatings on ferrous metal parts |
Depending on the applicable dash number, a supplemental petroleum base rust preventative treatment may be
required. The phosphate coatings in this specification are used primatily 2s a means of mild corrosion
protection. Ether zinc or manganese phosphate, atthe coater’s option, may be used I
2.0 GENERAI
Phosphate costings are conversion coatings: the surface of the metal being costed reacts chemically with a
dilute solution of phosphoric acid as well as other chemicals ta form an acherent, mildly protective layer of
insoluble crystalline phosphate. This layer provides a physical barrier against moisture. It also provides an
excellent, retentive base for rust preventative oils,
This specification establishes the following classes of coatings:
TABLE 1
Dash Numbers
Dash No. Rev. Description
01 1 Zino/Manganese Phosphate Coating |
02 ot Zine/Manganese Phosphate Coating with Supplemental |
Petroleum Base Rust Prevertative Treatment
8 R Obsolete
Unless otherwise specified by Cameron Engineering, phosphate coating shall be done on fully heat treated I
parts after all machining, forming, welding and weld stress relieving operations have been completed.
3.0 PROCESS:
3.1. Cleaning and Stress Relief
3.1.1 Parts to be coated shall be free of oil, grease, dirt, etc Cleaning may be done by vapor
degreasing, emulsion cleaning, or alkaline cleaning in accordance with the latest revision of
Steel Structures Painting Council SPC SP1, andior thermal degreasing Cleaned parts shall be
‘thoroughly rinsed in clean water to remove residual cleaning chemicals,
3.1.2 Parts with rust or scale shall be dry abrasive biast cleaned using sand or steel grt. Parts shall
be free of ail, grease, dirt, etc, prior to blasting Abrasive blasting shall be controlled and
performed using a grt size sufficiently fie to preserve the RMS surface finish roughness.

3.2 Phosphating
3.2.1. Phosphating shall be performed by immersion into a zine/manganese base phosphate bath
3.22 The bath concentration and temperature, and immersion time for the parts shall be such that the
phosphate coating meets the following requirements.
4. The coating shall have a minimum weight of 1 1g/m?
2. The coating shall be evenly deposited, have @ uniform crystalline texture, and be gray to
black in coior.
3.3 Water Rinse
‘Subsequent to phosphating and before parts have dried, the paris shall be thoroughly rinsed in clear,
cold water. Rinsing may be done by immersion or by spraying. If immersion rinsing is used, a
continuous overtlow shall be maintained by the addition of fresh water. Parts shall be immersed only 2s
long as required to remove residual chemicals from the phosphate bath. The flow of rinse water shall be
controlled 2s required to prevent its contamination to the extent that it becomes detrimental to the
coating
3.4 Chromic Acid Rinse
Immediately after the water rinse, all perts shall be treated in a chromic acid rinse. Note: Chromic acid
rinsing is optional if the phosphate coated parts will be painted/coated or receive a supplemental oil
treatment within 4 hours of being phosphated.
1, The final rinse shall be 150-200°F (65-83°C) hot chrornio acid or chromic-phosphate acid solution
‘approximately 300 grams chromic acid fiake in 1000 iters (L) water.
2. The final rinse shall be maintained at a pH of 2 to 4 by the addition of flake chromic acid or mixtures
of chromic and phosphoric acids.
3. The final rinse shall be checked by a standard free and total acid titration or pH reading as often as is
necessary to assure that the bath remains within the limits set at all times during which it is in
operation.
4. All finses should be discarded whenever they become contaminated. The final rinse shall be
checked at least weekly and shall be discarded when the total acid reading rises to more than 7
times the free acid reading,
5, Parts should remain in each rinse for a minimum of 60 seconds.
6. Following the chromic acid rinse, parts shall be thoroughly dried before application of a
supplementary treatment, as apolicable.
3.5 Supplementary Treatment
When specified by the applicable dash number, phosphated parts shall be impregnated with a rust
preventative all. The weight of oll per untt area shall be such that the treated parts is capable of
Undergoing a minimum of 24 hours exposure in a salt spray test in accordance with ASTM B117 with no
evidence of rusting

3.6 Hydrogen Embrittlement Relief Heat Treatment
Hydrogen embrittlement relief heat treatment is not required. Metal parts will not be put in service for a
minimum of 6 days to allow hydrogen to diffuse out
4.0 QUALITY CONTROL:
44° Procedures
Phosphate coating applicators shall have a written procedure detalling their coating process. As a
minimum this procedute shall include
41.1 Acomplete description (manufacturer, catalog number, etc.) of the chemicals used for cleaning,
phosphating, chromic acid rinse and any supplemental oil treatment,
41.2 A detailed cleaning procedure for parts prior to phosphating including methods, materials and
‘ecceptance criteria,
4.1.3 Instructions for phosphating and a detailed procedure for the contro! of phosphate bath
parameters, This shall establish limits for the concentration of phosphating chemicals in the bath
and limts for temperature The procedure shall descnbe how these parameters are monitored
and recorded
Control of the phosphating chemicals must provide for the determination of free acid, total aoid
and ferrous iron content The frequency of testing for chemical content shall be determined by
the applicator, but must be sufficiently frequent to assure adequate control so that it can be
demonstrated that no lot of parts Is processed when the bath is not within the established limits.
Analysis for free and total acid shall be made just prior to the processing of each lot or every two
hours, whichever is less frequent. The ferrous iron content shall be analyzed just prior to the
processing of each lot or weekiy, whichever is less frequent
4.4.4 Instructions for water rinsing subsequent to phosphating
41.5 Instructions for chtomie acid rinsing (if applicable) and detailed procedure for the control of the
chromic acid rinse bath parameters and the immersion time for the parts, This shall establish
limits for the concentration of chemicals in the bath and pH (or free and total acid contents). The
procedure shall desoribe how these parameters ate monitored and recorded Frequency of
testing shall be as often as required to insure that the bath remains within the applicable limits,
but inno case less than once a week
441.6 A detailed description for supplemental oil treatment inoluding the type of oil and how it is
applied.
41.7 A descrigtion of remedial action to be taken when the results of any test of bath chemicals is
found to be outsie the specified range.
