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 to ...

3. 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 ...

4. 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 ...

5. Zinc flake coating - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zinc_flake_coating

   Zinc flake coatings create what is known as cathodic protection: the less noble zinc 'sacrifices' itself in order to protect the underlying metal. Steel can be protected in this way. The coating thickness is often between 5 μm and 15 μm, with thicker layers also possible where there are special requirements.

6. Coating - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coating

   Coating. A coating is a covering that is applied to the surface of an object, or substrate. [1] The purpose of applying the coating may be decorative, functional, or both. [2] Coatings may be applied as liquids, gases or solids e.g. powder coatings. Paints and lacquers are coatings that mostly have dual uses, which are protecting the substrate ...

7. Passivation (chemistry) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passivation_(chemistry)

   Passivation involves creation of an outer layer of shield material that is applied as a microcoating, created by chemical reaction with the base material, or allowed to build by spontaneous oxidation in the air. As a technique, passivation is the use of a light coat of a protective material, such as metal oxide, to create a shield against ...
