2. Rustproofing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rustproofing

   [citation needed] Additionally, a petroleum, solvent-free rust inhibitor remains on the metal surface, sealing it from rust-accelerating water and oxygen. Other benefits of petroleum-based rust protection include the self-healing properties that come naturally to oils, which helps undercoatings to resist abrasion caused by road sand and other ...

3. Zinc chromate - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zinc_chromate

   During the 1940 and 1950s it was typically found as the "paint" in the wheel wells of retractable landing gear on US military aircraft to protect the aluminium from corrosion. This compound was a useful coating because it is an anti-corrosive and anti-rust primer. [8] Since it is highly toxic, it also destroys organic growth on the surface.

4. Zinc flake coating - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zinc_flake_coating

   The typical cleaning processes are removal with an alkaline aqueous solution and then blasting with very small steel balls (shot). Cleaning solutions remove grease, oil and dirt from the metal surface. Blasting removes scaling and rust through the mechanical action of the steel balls, which are fired at the parts inside a chamber using a turbine.

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.

6. Bluing (steel) - Wikipedia

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

   This method was adopted by larger firearm companies for large scale, more economical bluing. It does provide good rust resistance, which is improved with oil. "Rust bluing" and "fume bluing" provide the best rust and corrosion resistance as the process continually converts any metal that is capable of rusting into magnetite (Fe 3 O 4). Treating ...

7. Primer (paint) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primer_(paint)

   Primers are used on metal hydroxides/oxides to improve the surface condition and to encourage bonding. Without a primer, paint applied to metals are prone to peeling. [6] Special kinds of primer (rust-converters) can be used to chemically convert rust to the solid metal salts. [7] This process is not recommended for structural steel.
