Abstract:Chemical conversion coatings provide metal surfaces with high functions. The mechanisms of film-formation of conversion coatings on the surfaces of steel, zinc-plated steel, tin-plated steel (that is, tinplate), aluminum alloy, etc. and the properties are reviewed. The following items are systematically explained: i) conventional phosphatings such as zinc, zinc-calcium and iron phosphating systems, ii) recent phosphatings such as nitrous ion-and nickel-free systems, iii) chromatings such as chemical reaction (… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
