Which Materials Use Chromate Conversion Coating?

Metals like aluminum, zinc, and magnesium, benefit most from chromate conversion finishing and why each requires a tailored process for lasting protection.

Aluminium Alloys

Aluminium is the most common substrate for chromate conversion coating, especially in aerospace, electronics and general manufacturing. The process enhances corrosion resistance of lightweight aluminium parts without significant dimensional change, crucial for precision assemblies.

Zinc, Magnesium, and Other Alloys

Beyond aluminium, chromate conversion treatments are used on zinc or zinc-plated steel (especially fasteners), magnesium alloys, cadmium-plated parts, copper, tin, silver alloys, and other specialty substrates. For example, zinc plating followed by chromate conversion enhances the zinc’s corrosion-protection performance.

Pretreatment for Other Finishes

Chromate conversion is often used as a pretreatment before painting, powder coating or adhesive bonding. The coating acts as a primer layer, improving the adhesion of subsequent coatings and preserving the underlying metal from corrosion.

Precision Machined Parts Requiring Finishing

For a machining house like XC Machining, where machined parts may have tight tolerances, finely machined surfaces and may require finishing for functional coatings, offering chromate conversion finishing means you can provide a full solution: from CNC machining to surface treatment to delivery.

Questions fréquemment posées

Revêtement de conversion au chromate

  • What is the primary purpose of chromate conversion coating?

    Chromate conversion coating provides a protective, corrosion-resistant layer on metals like aluminum and zinc. It also improves paint adhesion and maintains electrical conductivity, making it ideal for aerospace, electronics, and automotive applications. 

  • How does chromate conversion differ from anodizing or plating?

    Unlike anodizing or electroplating, chromate conversion does not add a thick external layer. Instead, it chemically transforms the surface itself into a thin, protective film, less than 1 µm, preserving dimensional accuracy while improving corrosion resistance. 

  • Can chromate conversion coating be applied after CNC machining?

    Yes. In fact, chromate conversion is most effective on freshly machined or cleaned metal surfaces. At XC Machining, parts are cleaned, deoxidized, and then conversion-coated to ensure optimal bonding, uniform finish, and protection without altering critical tolerances. 

  • Are there environmentally safe alternatives to hexavalent chromate coatings?

    Absolutely. Modern trivalent chromate and “chrome-free” conversion coatings offer comparable corrosion protection with reduced environmental and health risks. XC Machining uses REACH- and RoHS-compliant finishes to meet global sustainability standards. 

  • How long does chromate conversion coating last?

    The longevity of a chromate conversion coating depends on the environment and maintenance. In controlled conditions, it can protect aluminum parts for years. When combined with paints or sealants, it delivers exceptional long-term durability and resistance to corrosion.
