Abstract

The present invention relates to a method for the anti-corrosion treatment of components produced from aluminum, in particular casting parts such as vehicle rims, comprising a pretreatment stage and subsequent coating, wherein the pretreatment stage in turn includes a pickle on the basis of sulfuric acid aqueous solutions containing water-soluble compounds of the element Ti and at least one α-hydroxycarboxylic acid which is carried out upstream of an acidic conversion treatment on the basis of an acidic aqueous solution containing water-soluble compounds of the elements Zr and/or Ti.
