2. Metallic paint - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metallic_paint

   Metallic paint, which may also be called metal flake (or incorrectly named polychromatic), is a type of paint that is most common on new automobiles, but is also used for other purposes. Metallic paint can reveal the contours of bodywork more than non-metallic, or "solid" paint. Close-up, the small metal flakes included in the paint create a ...

3. Candy apple red - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Candy_Apple_Red

   This gives real "candy apple red" paint more "life" than more conventional solid red or metallic red paints used on cars, trucks and other vehicles. The original candy apple red car paint had no metallic (tiny flakes of silver metal or plastic) or pearl (tiny flakes of plastic or possibly real particles of the reflective surfaces from seashells).

4. Alumina effect pigment - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alumina_effect_pigment

   Fig. 1: Pure aluminium oxide flakes Pure aluminium oxide flakes. In the first step of the production process, Al 2 O 3 (Aluminium oxide) flakes with a very smooth surface are formed. The flakes are produced using a crystal growth process. They are formed in the corundum structure (α-Al 2 O 3). The desired flake shape is achieved by controlled ...

5. Zinc flake coating - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zinc_flake_coating

   Because electrolytically zinc-plated surfaces provide comparatively little corrosion protection, and in the case of galvanic zinc coatings on high-strength steel (e.g. category 10.9 and 12.9 high-strength bolts) there is a risk of hydrogen embrittlement, the industry needed a better corrosion protection system.

6. Metallic color - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metallic_color

   A metallic color is a color that appears to be that of a polished metal. The visual sensation usually associated with metals is its metallic shine . This cannot be reproduced by a simple solid color , because the shiny effect is due to the material's brightness varying with the surface angle to the light source.

7. Mill scale - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mill_scale

   Mill scale is a complex oxide that contains around 70% iron with traces of nonferrous metals and alkaline compounds. Reduced iron powder may be obtained by conversion of mill scale into a single highest oxide i.e. hematite (Fe 2 O 3) followed by reduction with hydrogen.
