Chemfilm is also known as chromate conversion coating, alodine and iridite coating. Certified for AMS 2473, MIL-C-5541, MIL-DTL-5541 & more.
Chromate Conversion Coatings (sometimes called 'Chem-Film' in the USA) are widely applied to aluminum either as a final corrosion resisting treatment or as a pretreatment for paint. The most widely used specification covering the process isMIL-DTL-5541[onDLA](formerly calledMIL-C-5541). It inc...
Chromate conversion coating : Chromate conversion coating is a type of conversion coating used to passivate aluminum, zinc, cadmium, copper, silver, magnesium, and tin alloys.[1] It is primarily used as a corrosion inhibitor, primer, decorative finish, or to retain electrical con... : An iSn...
I have never seen anyone use the resistance measurement for chromate conversion coatings. I have seen a simple apparatus using a light bulb and some low voltage source for testing for the presence of an anodic coating on aluminum, since the clear coatings are hard to distinguish visually. But ...
The ubiquitous use of chromium and its derivatives as corrosion preventative compounds accelerated rapidly after the second industrial revolution, with such compounds now integral to modern society. However, the detrimental impact of chromium compounds o

"Chem film" is a slang term for the process.Q. MIL-C-5541-E, Class 1a (gold finish) vs. Class 3 (clear finish)What is the difference between Gold Iridite and Clear Iridite in terms of process. Is there any favorable impact on cost if we require our vendor to do Clear Finish?
"Chem film" is a slang term for the process. Q. We had powder coated ADC12 High pressure die cast aluminium. We have done Alodine pre-coat; and after that pure polyester coating of 60 microns. But it is failing to sustain 336 hrs of salt spray test. Can anyone suggest alternate ...
