Chromate coating

Aluminium and aluminium alloys are treated by a corrosion resistant conversion coating that is called “chromate coating” or “chromating”. General method is to clean the aluminium surface and then apply an acidic chromium composition on that clean surface. Chromium conversion coatings are highly corrosion resistant and provide excellent retention of subsequent coatings. Different type of subsequent coatings can be applied to the chromate conversion coating to produce an acceptable surface. What we call as phosphating to steel an iron isRead More …
