Chromate and passivate are two different processes used for the surface treatment of metals, such as steel and aluminum. A chromate is a conversion coating in which hexavalent chrome reacts with a zinc finish to convert that finish into a protective coating. Passivates were developed in response to the drive to trivalent passivates. Passivates may …
Zinc plating is a surface treatment process that involves the deposition of a thin layer of zinc onto a metal substrate. The zinc coating provides a protective barrier that helps prevent corrosion and other forms of degradation and enhances the appearance of the metal part. The zinc plating process typically involves several steps. First, the …
ASTM B633 is a standard specification published by ASTM International that provides requirements for electroplating zinc on iron and steel parts. The standard covers various aspects of the electroplating process, including the composition of the plating solution, the thickness of the coating, and the adhesion and corrosion resistance. It is commonly used in the automotive …

Barrel plating is an electroplating technique used to deposit a metal coating onto a substrate. In this process, parts to be plated are placed inside a rotating barrel, which is then filled with the plating solution. The barrel rotates, causing the parts to tumble and move around in the solution, ensuring that the plating is …
Rack plating is an electroplating technique used to deposit a metal coating onto a substrate, where the parts to be plated are mounted on a rack and then immersed in an electrolyte solution. This process is commonly used for high volume, precision plating of small or delicate parts.
Zinc plating is a process of depositing a thin layer of zinc onto the surface of a metal object, typically steel or iron, to provide a protective coating. The process involves immersing the metal object in a bath of molten zinc or a solution of zinc salts. An electrical current is passed through the solution, …
