Disclosed is a phosphate-free aqueous acidic conversion coating comprising zinc sulfate and sulfuric acid. The conversion coating finds special use as a conversion coating to metal substrates prior to application of a cold forming lubricant or prior to application of a paint. The conversion coatings according to the present disclosure avoid the issues associated with phosphate containing conversion coatings but provide similar benefits to phosphate-based conversion coatings. Optional components of the conversion coating solutions include one or more of pH adjustment neutralizers, coating stabilizers, coating accelerators, coating refiners, etchants, paint adhesion promoters and mixtures thereof. In an additional option, manganese oxide can be used in place of zinc oxide.

Lubricant for metal cold forming processes and methods of use of the same
Disclosed is a lubricant for use in cold forming of a metal. The lubricant comprises a mixture of at least one lubricating compound and at least one starch. The starch adheres the lubricating compound to the metal surface. The present lubricant completely removes the need to pre-coat the metal with a zinc phosphate coating to adhere the lubricating compound to the metal. The present lubricant eliminates several steps required in processes that utilize zinc phosphate pre-coatings. In addition, the lubricant of the present invention is easily removed after the cold forming operations unlike zinc phosphate coatings.
