Description / Abstract:
Purpose
This specification establishes the requirements for chromate
conversion coatings on magnesium alloys.
Application
This process has been used typically to improve corrosion
resistance and adherence of organic finishes but usage is not
limited to such applications. The dichromate treatment may not be
suitable for alloys with high manganese content. The chrome pickle
treatment has been used as touch-up for previously
dichromate-treated surfaces and for improving corrosion protection
temporarily, but usages are not limited to such applications.
Safety - Hazardous Materials
While the materials, methods, applications, and processes
described or referenced in this specification may involve the use
of hazardous materials, this specification does not address the
hazards that may be involved in such use. It is the sole
responsibility of the user to ensure familiarity with the safe and
proper use of any hazardous materials and to take necessary
precautionary measures to ensure the health and safety of all
personnel involved.
