Abstract

A method of treating a zinc plated steel surface provides improved corrosion resistance and painting properties. The surface is rendered cathodic in the presence of an aqueous treatment liquor containing 5-70 g/l of hexavalent chromium, 0.01 to 5 g/l of trivalent chromium, 5-100 g/l of silica and/or silicate and 0.05-10 g/l of nitrate in which the ratio of Cr.sup.3+ /Cr.sup.6+ is within the range 1/50-1/3.
