Introduction Chromate Conversion Coating
Chromate Conversion Coating enhances metal’s resistance to rust and helps it stick better by creating a layer of chromate conversion on the surface. It is commonly applied to aluminium and magnesium alloys. A number of other metals can also be chromate-converted coated by special treatments. This material is used in many industries, like aerospace, automotive, electronics, and military. It is especially helpful in areas where things rust easily.
