    Now, compare that to a well-made piece built from durable materials. When people invest in quality furniture, they're not looking at years of easy-to-break junk; they're looking at decades of ...

  3. Black oxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_oxide

    Black oxide or blackening is a conversion coating for ferrous materials, stainless steel, copper and copper based alloys, zinc, powdered metals, and silver solder. [1] It is used to add mild corrosion resistance, for appearance, and to minimize light reflection. [ 2 ]

  4. Prepainted metal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prepainted_metal

    According to EN 13523-0, a prepainted metal (or coil coated metal) is a ‘metal on which a coating material (e.g. paint, film…) has been applied by coil coating’.When applied onto the metallic substrate, the coating material (in liquid, in paste or powder form) forms a film possessing protective, decorative and/or other specific properties.

  5. 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 ...

  6. Powder coating - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Powder_coating

    Example of powder coating spray guns. The most common way of applying the powder coating to metal objects is to spray the powder using an electrostatic gun, or corona gun. The gun imparts a negative charge to the powder, which is then sprayed towards the grounded object by mechanical or compressed air spraying and then accelerated toward the ...

  7. Chrome plating - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chrome_plating

    Hard chrome replacement technologies outperform hard chrome in wear resistance, corrosion resistance, and cost. Hardness up to 80 HRC is not extraordinary for such materials. Modern engineered coatings applied using spray deposition can form layers of uniform thickness that often require no further polishing or machining.

  8. Copper electroplating - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copper_electroplating

    Copper electroplating baths can be used to plate either a strike or flash coating, which is a thin highly-adherent initial layer that is plated with additional layers of metal and that serves to improve adhesion of the subsequent layers to the underlying substrate, or a thicker coating of copper that may serve as the finish layer or as a ...

  9. 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.
