Abstract

A metal substrate is described herein, the metal substrate being one formed by contacting a metal surface, such as zinc, with a solution containing 0.1 to 2.5 weight percent salt selected from the group consisting of iron nitrate, nickel nitrate and copper nitrate, 0.01 to 3.5 weight percent of an oxidizing agent selected from the group consisting of perborates, peroxides, persulfates and perchlorates, 2 to 20 weight percent of a mineral acid selected from the group consisting of sulfuric acid and phosphoric acid and the remainder water, drying the contacted surface and thereafter applying an electrically conductive coating, such as graphite, thereon.
