The history of and reasons for using zinc phosphate as a lubricant carrier coating for steel wire are presented. Methods for achieving the optimum phosphate treatment are described. The coating of rod and wire by this technique is influenced by residual inhibitors, surface smoothness, charge temperature, and the use of crystal-attracting predips. The efficacy of various predips used in zinc phosphate coating against corrosion is discussed.
