Chromate conversion coating is a type of conversion coating that converts surface properties of substrate materials. It is used to passivate zinc-plated Steel, aluminium, copper, silver, magnesium and tin alloys. It is also known as chem film, alodine or ...
Pure Aluminum forms an oxide layer of 1 to 10 nm thickness due to reaction from oxygen. This oxide layer prevents it from corrosion and wear. Higher the thickness of oxide layer, More will be the corrosion resistance. Therefore to improve aluminum corrosi ...
Powder coating is applied electrostatically as dry powder. After the coating part is cured under heat to allow powder to flow and form a skin. Powder coating improves part corrosion resistance. Chromate conversion coating, zinc plating, and anodizing are ...
Corrosion results in deterioration of metal parts due to chemical reactions between metal and the surrounding environment. It is not a desired phenomenon. But galvanic corrosion also has some advantages. During product design engineers ensure galvanic cor ...
