Abstract

The present invention belongs to the technical field of surface treatment for metal materials, and particularly relates to an environment-friendly water-based treatment agent for improving the phosphatability of high-strength steel. The water-based treatment agent is prepared by dissolving or dispersing a composition in an aqueous medium. The water-based treatment agent specifically consists of: A. a fluoride ion-containing compound; B. a compound selected from metal ion compounds containing Cu, Zn, Mn, Ni or Fe; C. a compound selected from organic acids; and D. a compound selected from surfactant. The water-based treatment agent can be diluted in water at a ratio of 1:0-20 for subsequent use. The treatment agent can enable the surface of a high-strength steel plate to have excellent phosphatability and is mainly applied to high-strength steel surface modification treatment.
