Iron Phosphate Coating Formation and Performance
Iron phosphate operating parameters for a proposed process cannot be arbitrarily picked. Conditions are often tested based on the fundamentals of coating formation to match a target specified coating weight. On the other hand, not all manufacturers have coating weight specifications, thus a matrix of varying conditions needs to be processed to find the optimal coating for the application. This testing is designed to explore which conditions and chemistries have the largest impact on coating formation and overall corrosion performance with two general manufacturing DTM powder paint chemistries.

Case Study: Relating Routine Bath Analysis to ZrO2 Corrosion Resistance
This case study involves the application of a zirconium oxide treatment. Weekly bath samples were taken for over a year. The bath samples were taken at the same time panels were painted for B117 Neutral Salt Fog testing to determine the significance of the analytical parameters to the corrosion study results. The bath analysis included various physical parameters as well as the assessment of active product ingredients as well as contaminants. Want to see what mattered? Join us for this presentation to find out.
