Chromate Coversion Coatings

Chromate conversion coatings are applied to zinc plated surfaces to extend the corrosion resistance of the plating. This extended protection is due to the corrosion-inhibiting effect of the chromium contained in the coating. The conversion coatings also protect because of a barrier that is formed between the atmosphere and the zinc plating.
