Oxide coatings
Anodizing
o Anodic oxidation in an acid bath, to build up oxide layer.
o Such coatings produced on Al, Mg, and alloys by electrolysis in acid (H2SO4, H2CrO4, H3PO4) at
mod. temp. and current densities
o Minute pores sealed by exposing coat to boiling water, or sealed with oils, waxes, chromates,
resins.
Anodizin
g
o Electrolytic passivation technique (making metal passive, less affected)
o Less likely to crack & peel from aging & wear, more susceptible to cracking from thermal
stresses (as low thermal conductivity)
o Regular & uniform coating formed, but microscopic fissures can lead to corrosion, also
susceptible to chemical dissolution in high and low pH environments

Oxide coatings
Phosphate Coatings /
Phosphatizing
o Process of producing phosphate coatings on a base metal by a reaction between aqueous soln of
phosphate and phosphoric acid with the base metal
o Eg: Automobile bodies, provides good base for paints, protect unfinished metal parts from
corrosion
o Applied on Fe, Steel, Zn, using phosphates of Fe, Mn, Zn and various accelerators.
Phosphatizing / Parkerizing
Parker family in
the U.S
o Protecting steel surface from corrosion, increase wear resistance, by phosphate conversion
coating
o Not used on non-ferrous, Al, Brass, Cu, nor steel with Ni, or even stainless steel
Phosphate coatings
Chromate coatings
Oxide coatings
Chromate Coatings
o Applied by immersion of base metal into solution of hexavalent Cr ions and mineral acid
o Used as corrosion inhibitor, primer, decorative finishing, and to retain electrical conductivity
Phosphate coatings
Chromate coatings
Oxide coatings
Oxide Coatings
o Treating base metal with alkaline oxidizing solution
Black
Oxide/Blackening
Standard material
is magnetite, which
is mechanically
stable, and has
good corrosion
resistance
Remaining Coatings
Powder Coating
Electroless Coating
Powder Coating
o Process of applying free flowing powder on substrate to avoid its corrosion.
o Powder coating for corrosion resistance generally applied on metals, household appliances,
aluminium materials, automobiles, and bicycle parts
ADVANTAGES DISADVANTAGES
o No chemical environmental pollution o P.C of thin metal sheets is difficult
o Thick coating of metal possible o Even smaller objects cannot be coated
o Recycling of excess powder possible o The coated object cannot be used at
o Low Cost high temperatures
Powder Coating
o Does not require a solvent to hold the binder while coating, thus thicker and uniform
o Technique of forming a thin coat of a thermoplastic material along with some additives on the
surface of the base metal
o Thickness: 75 µm – 250 µm
o Takes place in presence of strong reducing agent (NaPO2H2·H2O). It reacts with metal surface
ions for deposition
ADVANTAGES DISADVANTAGES
o Doesn’t use electrical power o Life span of chemical is limited
o Coating done evenly, highly compact & adherent o Generation of waste chemicals possible
o Insulators can also be plated (plastics, PCB,
ceramics)
o Thickness & volume of coating can be controlled,
thus complex shapes also coated
o Bright coatings obtained
Electroless Coating/Plating
o Deposition of metal from its salt solution using a reducing agent without electricity
o Non-conducting surface like plastics, ceramics, PCBs, treated with SnCl2 & PdCl2 thin layer of
Palladium
Cu Plating
2𝐶𝑢2+ + 𝐻𝐶𝐻𝑂 + 3𝑂𝐻− −−−→ 2𝐶𝑢+ + 𝐻𝐶𝑂𝑂− + 2𝐻2𝑂 → 𝐶𝑢+ + 𝐶𝑢2+
Sodium succinate or Na K tartrate is used to avoid loose & fast
coating
Ni Plating
o Sodium hypophosphate NaH3PO2 liberates e- which
converts Ni2+ to Ni, forming Nickel deposit.
