Chromate conversion coatings and their current application

Petr Pokorný, P. Tej, Petr Szelag

Abstract

This paper describes formation, composition and possible production technologies of application chromate coatings.Summation of common examples of applications of these coatings in corrosion protection of metals and alloys is provided.Individual chromate coatings are divided by their dominant anions either with Cr VI or Cr III .Restrictions of chromate coatings with dominantly Cr VI and related toxicity of hexavalent chromium is discussed in detail.In conclusion, examples of both chromium and other, alternative coatings are summed up.Application of these coatings as a protection for concrete hot-dip galvanized reinforcement is also reviewed.
