Abstract
An aqueous conversion coating solution comprises a trivalent chromium compound, a zirconate compound, and a dye compound. The trivalent chromium compound can comprise trivalent chromium compounds such as trivalent chromium sulfate. The dye compound can comprise an azo dye, a chromium complex dye, an anthraquinoid dye, and/or a methine dye. The zirconate compound can comprise alkali metal hexafluorozirconate compounds. The conversion coating solution can comprise a phosphorous compound such as an organic amino-phosphonic acid compound. The conversion coating solution can be formed by mixing a dye additive containing the dye with a trivalent chromium conversion coating solution that does not contain a dye. The conversion coating solution can be used to treat metal substrates comprising aluminum, magnesium, and/or zinc.
