Parts Cleaning
Response to Spray Wand Phosphatizing
I read in the June 2006 addition of the Parts Cleaning Clinic your answers to the Phosphate Cleaning Systems question, where someone was using a spray wand phosphatizer at a pH of 2.0 and wanted to increase their quality (www.pfonline.com/articles/clinics/0606cl_clean3.html). Hopefully, I can add to your answers:

The issues I currently have are as follows: (1) I have a pH level of 2.0, that I think is causing flash rust to occur and in turn some slight delamination of paint during scribe testing.

(3) I’m sure the wheel has been invented on controls and work instructions for manual phosphating so does anyone have any links to a location that I can get our’s off of? (4) Does the metal temperature need to reach a certain temperature for the coating reaction to take place or only the solution?
