  2. Conversion coating - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conversion_coating

    A conversion coating is a chemical or electro-chemical treatment applied to manufactured parts that superficially converts the material into a thin adhering coating of an insoluble compound. These coatings are commonly applied to protect the part against corrosion , to improve the adherence of other coatings, for lubrication , or for aesthetic ...

    Following is a list of RLM (Reichsluftfahrt Ministerium) paint designations used by the German Ministry of Aviation from 1933 through 1945. List

  4. RAL colour standard - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RAL_colour_standard

    In 1927, the German group Reichs-Ausschuß für Lieferbedingungen (Imperial Committee for Delivery and Quality Assurance) invented a collection of forty colours under the name of "RAL 840". [2] Prior to that date, manufacturers and customers had to exchange samples to describe a tint , whereas from then on they would rely on numbers.

  5. Phosphate conversion coating - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phosphate_conversion_coating

    Phosphate conversion coating is a chemical treatment applied to steel parts that creates a thin adhering layer of iron, zinc, or manganese phosphates to improve corrosion resistance or lubrication or as a foundation for subsequent coatings or painting. [1] [2] [3] It is one of the most common types of conversion coating.

  6. Color difference - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_difference

    As most definitions of color difference are distances within a color space, the standard means of determining distances is the Euclidean distance.If one presently has an RGB (red, green, blue) tuple and wishes to find the color difference, computationally one of the easiest is to consider R, G, B linear dimensions defining the color space.

  7. Zahn cup - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zahn_cup

    Zahn Cup #2: ν = 3.5(t − 14) Zahn Cup #3: ν = 11.7(t − 7.5) Zahn Cup #4: ν = 14.8(t − 5) Zahn Cup #5: ν = 23t; Note the above equations are for a Brookfield series of Zahn cups. Gardco signature Zahn cups and Gardco EZ Zahn cups use different conversions. [1] Ascott Zahn Cups are based on measuring the Flow of liquid in seconds.

  8. Hiding power - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hiding_power

    The hiding power is an ability of a paint to hide the surface that the paint was applied to. [1] Numerically, it is defined as an area of surface coated by a volume of paint (spreading rate) at which the "complete hiding" of the underlying surface occurs. [2]

  9. Paint sheen - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paint_sheen

    The sheen [4] or gloss level of a paint is principally determined by the ratio of resinous, adhesive binder, which solidifies after drying, and solid, powdery pigment.The more binder the coating contains, the more regular reflection will be made from its smooth surface; conversely, with less binder, grains of pigment become exposed to the surface, scattering the light and providing matte ...
