Phosphating Information
Phosphating is a chemical conversion coating process that forms a phosphate layer on metal surfaces. This process provides corrosion resistance, improves paint adhesion, and reduces friction. The coating weight and thickness depend on the phosphate type, process conditions, and metal substrate.
