Claim: 1. Process for preparing passive coatings on bulk-aluminum alloys and aluminum-powder pigments having a micro size ranging from about 2.8 to 4.0 microns which comprises coating said aluminum alloys and powder-pigments with an acidic aqueous composition having a pH of about 3.8 at temperatures ranging from about 120° F. to 150° F.; said aqueous composition consisting essentially of from about, in parts by weight per liter of water, 35 grams per liter of potassium hexafluorozirconate, 46 grams per liter of basic chromium sulfate and from 0.0 to 1.5 grams per liter of potassium tetrafluoroborate.
Claim: 2. Process for preparing passive coatings on bulk-aluminum alloys and aluminum-powder pigments having a micro size ranging from about 2.8 to 4.0 microns which comprises coating said aluminum alloys and powder-pigments with an acidic aqueous composition having a pH of about 2.8 to 4.0 and at temperatures ranging from about 120° F. to 200° F.; said aqueous composition consisting essentially of about, in parts by weight per liter of water, 20 grams per liter of potassium hexafluorozirconate, 15 grams per liter of basic chromium sulfate and 1.0 grams per liter of potassium tetrafluoroborate.
Claim: 3. Process for preparing passive coatings on bulk-aluminum alloys and aluminum-powder pigments having a micro size ranging from about 2.8 to 4.0 microns which comprises coating said aluminum alloys and powder-pigments with an acidic aqueous composition having a pH from about 3.8 at temperatures ranging from about 120° F. to 200° F.; said aqueous compositions consisting essentially of about, in parts by weight per liter of water, 35 grams per liter parts of potassium hexafluorozirconate, 46 grams per liter of basic chromium sulfate and 0.0 to 1.5 grams per liter of potassium tetrafluoroborate.
