Chemical transformation film services

Chemical conversion coatings are mainly used for metal anti-corrosion and wear resistance. The conversion film also has good paintability and can be used as the bottom layer of organic coatings; during cold processing, the conversion film layer can lubricate and reduce wear, allowing the workpiece to withstand higher loads.

Part surface treatment

Aluminum & magnesiumchemical transformation film

  • Chemical conversion film of aluminum and aluminum alloy (MIL- DTL-5541F) is in oxidizing chemical conversion solution, the process in which the surface of aluminum reacts with the chemical oxidizer in the chemical conversion solution to form a chemical conversion film.

  • Chemical conversion film of magnesium and magnesium alloy (AMS-M-3171) is chemically or electrochemically treated to form an insoluble film with good adhesion, which is composed of oxide, chromium, phosphide and some other compounds.This film can protect the substrate and metal materials from corrosive environment, but also improve the adhesion of the coating film.
