Standardless Measurements of Titanium and Zirconium Based Conversion Coatings
Applications | 2024 | Thermo Fisher ScientificInstrumentation
Conversion coatings serve a dual function: enhancing decorative appearance and improving key surface properties such as corrosion resistance and paint adhesion on metal substrates. Traditional phosphate-based pretreatments are widely used in automotive manufacturing but generate significant environmental waste. Zirconium- and titanium-based conversion coatings have emerged as eco-friendly alternatives, offering thinner layers, reduced sludge and heavy-metal-free wastewater.
