2. Iron(III) oxide - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron(III)_oxide

   Iron(III) oxide or ferric oxide is the inorganic compound with the formula Fe 2 O 3. It occurs in nature as the mineral hematite , which serves as the primary source of iron for the steel industry. It is also known as red iron oxide , especially when used in pigments .

3. Iron oxide - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron_oxide

   Iron is stored in many organisms in the form of ferritin, which is a ferrous oxide encased in a solubilizing protein sheath. [ 10 ] Species of bacteria , including Shewanella oneidensis , Geobacter sulfurreducens and Geobacter metallireducens , use iron oxides as terminal electron acceptors .

4. 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.

5. Chemical coloring of metals - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_coloring_of_metals

   In the case of titanium, niobium, and stainless steel, the colour formed is dependent on the thickness of the oxide (which is determined by the anodizing voltage). Chemically coloring a metal is distinct from simply coating it using a method such as gilding or mercury silvering , because chemical coloring involves a chemical reaction, whereas ...

6. Mill scale - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mill_scale

   Mill scale on an anvil. Mill scale, often shortened to just scale, is the flaky surface of hot rolled steel, consisting of the mixed iron oxides iron(II) oxide (FeO, wüstite), iron(III) oxide (Fe 2 O 3, hematite), and iron(II,III) oxide (Fe 3 O 4, magnetite).

7. Black oxide - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_oxide

   Black oxide or blackening is a conversion coating for ferrous materials, stainless steel, copper and copper based alloys, zinc, powdered metals, and silver solder. [1] It is used to add mild corrosion resistance, for appearance, and to minimize light reflection. [ 2 ]

8. List of inorganic pigments - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_inorganic_pigments

   Clay earth pigments (naturally formed iron oxides) Raw umber (PBr7): a natural clay pigment consisting of iron oxide, manganese oxide and aluminum oxide: Fe 2 O 3 + MnO 2 + n H 2 O + SiO 2 + Al 2 O 3. When calcined (heated) it is referred to as burnt umber and has more intense colors. Raw sienna (PBr7): a naturally occurring yellow-brown ...

9. Bluing (steel) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bluing_(steel)

   In comparison, rust, the red oxide of iron (Fe 2 O 3), undergoes an extremely large volume change upon hydration; as a result, the oxide easily flakes off, causing the typical reddish rusting away of iron. Black oxide provides minimal protection against corrosion, unless also treated with a water-displacing oil to reduce wetting and galvanic ...
