Ev. Koroleva et al., APPLICATION OF IMPEDANCE SPECTROSCOPY IN STUDYING THE GROWTH OF CONVERSION CHROMATE FILMS ON THE SURFACE OF AN ALUMINUM-ALLOY, Protection of metals, 30(2), 1994, pp. 123-129
Mechanisms of the growth of conversion films from various environments
in the course of the chemical oxidation of aluminum alloy surface are
determined. The results obtained and the procedure developed are show
n to be useful for adjusting the chromating process, and for the devel
opment of new chromating prescriptions as well as choice of methods fo
r pre-chromating metal-surface treatment.
