2. 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 ...

3. Chrome plating - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chrome_plating

   Decorative chrome is designed to be aesthetically pleasing and durable. Thicknesses range from 2 to 20 μin (0.05 to 0.5 μm), however, they are usually between 5 and 10 μin (0.13 and 0.25 μm). The chromium plating is usually applied over bright nickel plating.

4. Surface finishing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface_finishing

   A #7 finish is produced by polishing with a 280–320 grit belt or wheel and sisal buffing with a cut and color compound. This is a semi-bright finish that will still have some polishing lines but they will be very dull. Carbon steel and iron are commonly polished to a #7 finish before chrome plating.

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. Zinc chromate - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zinc_chromate

   Zinc chromate, Zn Cr O 4, is a chemical compound, a salt containing the chromate anion, appearing as odorless yellow powder or yellow-green crystals, but, when used for coatings, pigments are often added. [2] [3] [4] It is used industrially in chromate conversion coatings, having been developed by the Ford Motor Company in the 1920s. [5]

7. Electrochemical coloring of metals - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrochemical_coloring...

   Black nickel plating was developed around 1905, and between the two wars, black chrome plating (first German patent 1929.GP 607, 420), which saw wider use only from the mid-1950s. [14] After the First World War, the first procedures for anodic oxidation and coloring of anodically oxidized aluminium were developed (1923, 1924.DRP. 413876).
