• the invention is based on the object of proposing acidic, aqueous zinc phosphate-containing baths within the scope of the knowledge known per se for phosphating metal surfaces, which baths work in particular with a significantly lower total acid content.
• the production of high-quality zinc phosphate layers should be ensured, which are characterized in particular by comparatively high iron contents and are accordingly very particularly suitable for a subsequent cathodic electrocoating.
• the invention aims to enable a type of process that can be operated effectively at very low temperatures.
• the solution of the task according to the invention is based on the finding that the combination of certain bath parameters enables the effective reduction of the total acid content and thus the desired reduction in the chemical requirement, but that at the same time these baths at temperatures below 40 ° C effectively contain the desired iron Zinc phosphate layers can be deposited.

• the method according to the invention thus uses comparatively high levels of zinc in the bath solution, in particular in comparison with the cited prior art documents, but at the same time only limited amounts of phosphate ions - and ultimately only limited amounts of total acid - are used. It is preferred to work with baths in which the ratio Zn / PO 4 3- is in the range from 1: 2 to at most 1:11, preferably at most up to 1:10.5 or 10.
