Magnesium coating
Conversion coatings for machined magnesium alloys
There are two prominent conversion coatings for magnesium products: SurTec 650V and Iridite NCP. Both are renowned for their effectiveness in guarding against corrosion and their compliance with regulations. However, their applications, benefits, and suitability for different environments vary.
Key features
Availability and cost
Commercial availability and the cost-effectiveness of implementing coatings into existing production lines can vary, making it essential for manufacturers to evaluate both against their specific needs.
Performance
When it comes to performance, both coatings excel in creating a strong foundation for further protective layers.
A future without chromate
As industries evolve away from chromate-based coatings in favour of more sustainable solutions, the focus shifts towards alternatives that not only meet new environmental regulations but also uphold stringent performance standards and Iridite NCP stands out as the choice.
