2. Chemical coloring of metals - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_coloring_of_metals

   Chemical coloring of metals is the process of changing the color of metal surfaces with different chemical solutions. The chemical coloring of metals can be split into three types: electroplating – coating the metal surface with another metal using electrolysis. patination – chemically reacting the metal surface to form a colored oxide or salt.

3. 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 to ...

4. Conversion coating - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conversion_coating

   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 ...

5. Anodizing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anodizing

   Anodizing. These carabiners have an anodized aluminium surface that has been dyed; they are made in many colours. Anodizing is an electrolytic passivation process used to increase the thickness of the natural oxide layer on the surface of metal parts. The process is called anodizing because the part to be treated forms the anode electrode of an ...

6. Powder coating - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Powder_coating

   Powder coating is a type of coating that is applied as a free-flowing, dry powder. Unlike conventional liquid paint, which is delivered via an evaporating solvent, powder coating is typically applied electrostatically and then cured under heat or with ultraviolet light. The powder may be a thermoplastic or a thermosetting polymer.

7. Phosphate conversion coating - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phosphate_conversion_coating

   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 ...
