Cerium-Based Conversion Coatings On Cast Aluminum 380 And 413 Alloys, Ci Lin
Masters Theses
"This investigation focused on the deposition and characterization of cerium-based conversion coatings (CeCCs) on cast aluminum alloys. Previous research has shown that CeCCs are viable alternatives to chromate conversion on high strength alloys such as 2024-T3 and 7075-T6. For the casting alloys such as 380 and 413, the presence of Si affects the composition and stability of the native oxide, which means that pretreatment plays an important role for the coating deposition. This thesis consists of two papers that describe the results of the study.
The first paper reports the effect of the final rinsing temperature before coating deposition on …
