  2. Anodizing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anodizing

    Coatings of moderate thickness 1.8 μm to 25 μm (0.00007" to 0.001") [16] are known as Type II in North America, as named by MIL-A-8625, while coatings thicker than 25 μm (0.001") are known as Type III, hard-coat, hard anodizing, or engineered anodizing. Very thin coatings similar to those produced by chromic anodizing are known as Type IIB.

  4. Chromate conversion coating - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromate_conversion_coating

    Chromate conversion coating or alodine coating is a type of conversion coating used to passivate steel, aluminium, zinc, cadmium, copper, silver, titanium, magnesium, and tin alloys. [ 1 ] : p.1265 [ 2 ] The coating serves as a corrosion inhibitor , as a primer to improve the adherence of paints and adhesives , [ 2 ] as a decorative finish, or ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anodic_aluminium_oxide

    Anodizing aluminum has been widely used since early last century for corrosion protection and decorative purposes. The porous nature of anodic alumina films was discovered in the 1930s [ 1 ] and further elaborated in the 1950s–1970s.

    electroplating – coating the metal surface with another metal using electrolysis. patination – chemically reacting the metal surface to form a colored oxide or salt. [1] anodizing – electrolytic passivation process used to increase the thickness of the natural oxide layer, producing a porous surface which can accept organic or inorganic ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrophoretic_deposition

    Electrophoretic Deposition Process. Electrophoretic deposition (EPD), is a term for a broad range of industrial processes which includes electrocoating, cathodic electrodeposition, anodic electrodeposition, and electrophoretic coating, or electrophoretic painting.

  9. Plasma electrolytic oxidation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plasma_electrolytic_oxidation

    It is similar to anodizing, but it employs higher potentials, so that discharges [1] occur and the resulting plasma modifies the structure of the oxide layer. This process can be used to grow thick (tens or hundreds of micrometers), largely crystalline , oxide coatings on metals such as aluminium , magnesium [ 2 ] and titanium .
