ELECTRODEPOSITION BATHS CONTAINING YTTRIUM.

摘要

DISCLOSED ARE IMPROVED ELECTRODEPOSITION BATH COMPOSITIONS COMPRISING A RESINOUS PHASE DISPERSED IN AN AQUEOUS MEDIUM, THE RESINOUS PHASE BEING COMPRISED OF AN ACTIVE HYDROGEN HYDROGEN CONTAINING IONIC ELECTRODEPOSITABLE RESIN AND A CURING AGENT, WHERE THE IMPROVEMENT COMPRISES THE ADDITION TO AN ELECTRODEPOSITION BATH OD AT LEAST ONE SOURCE OF YTTRIUM IN AN AMOUNT OF ABOUT 10 TO 10,000 PARTS PER MILLION OF TOTAL YYTRIUM BASED ON ELECTRODEPOSITION BATH WEIGHT. THE ELECTRODEPOSITION BATH COMPOSITIONS ARE PREFERABLY CATIONIC AND PROVIDE FOR EXCELLENT CORROSION RESISTANCE OVER A VARIETY OF METAL SUBSTRATES INCLUDING UNTREATED STEEL. ALSO DISCLOSED IS A METHOD OF ELECTROCOATING A CONDUCTIVE SUBSTRATE USING THE IMPROVED ELECTRODEPOSITION BATH COMPOSITIONS OF THE INVENTION.METALLIC SUBSTRATES WHICH ARE COATED USING THE METHOD OF THE INVENTION ARE ALSO DISCLOSED.
