Title: Metal treatment

Patent ·
OSTI ID:6210042

A process is described for increasing the corrosion resistance of a metal object bearing a preexisting protective conversion coating, said process comprising steps of: (A) contacting the pre-existing coating with a composition having a pH from about 5 to about 12 and consisting essentially of: (1) water, (2) from 25-5,000 ppm of triazole molecules selected from the group consisting of aryl triazoles containing from 6 to about 10 carbon atoms and alkyl triazoles containing from 1 to about 6 carbon atoms, and, optionally, (3) at least partially substituted poly(vinylphenol) polymer or copolymer including substituents on at least some of the phenol rings: wherein each of R[sub 5] through R[sub 12] is selected from hydrogen, an alkyl, an aryl, an aryl, a hydroxy-alkyl, an amino-alkyl, a mercapto-alkyl, or a phospho-alkyl moiety, except that R[sub 12] can also be [minus]O[sup [minus]1] or [minus]OH and that at least one of R[sub 9] and R[sub 10] must include a polyhydroxy functionality resulting from the condensation of an amine or ammonia with a ketose, aldose, or other polyhydroxyl compound having from about 3 to about 8 carbon atoms, followed by reduction from imino to amino, and, optionally, (4) polar organic solvents; and (B) drying the object completion of step (A).
