The influence of surface imperfections on phosphate coating performance of nodular cast iron substrates
Samuel A. Awe
Abstract:<p>The service performance of the nodular cast iron wheel hub was modelled by investigating the effect of surface morphology and characteristics on the phosphate coating size, morphology, and corrosion resistance properties of the zinc phosphate conversion coated cast iron substrates. The machined and unmachined surfaces as well as the coatings were examined by a scanning electron microscope coupled with an energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometer (SEM-EXD). The influence of the substrates’ surface imperfect… Show more
