Alternative Pretreatment Technologies for Steel and Aluminum Surfaces

Date: 29 January 2009, 3 pm EST Duration: 1 hours View recording

Increasing regulatory pressures are forcing metal finishers to seek out options to conventional pretreatment processes. That has led to the development of several novel pretreatment methods with which finishers might not be readily familiar. This informative webinar will cover current environmentally acceptable alternative processes, particularly those impacting the steel and aluminum fabrication industries.

This webinar will:

• Identify and define conversion coatings
• Discuss the basics of a zinc phosphate process for ferrous and aluminum surfaces
• Outline the advantages and disadvantages of zinc phosphate
• Delve into the pros and cons and alternative technologies, such as zirconium, titanium, and silane
