Applications/Examples of results
Steel is widely used as a material for screws due to its easy availability and strength. Based on carbon steel, which primarily consists of iron (Fe) and carbon (C), alloy steels with added elements such as chromium and molybdenum are used, depending on the application for shape, strength, and corrosion resistance, often after heat treatment. Trivalent chromate is a surface treatment that serves as an alternative to chromate plating, providing corrosion resistance equal to or greater than traditional chromate treatments without containing harmful hexavalent chromium. Additionally, it can control the decrease in corrosion resistance that occurs during heating, which is a drawback of chromate treatment. In recent years, there has been a growing global awareness of environmental issues, leading many industries, including automotive and semiconductors, to consider alternatives to hexavalent chromium, with trivalent chromate being used as a substitute for chromate plating. However, compared to chromate treatment, managing the process parameters such as the stirring state of the plating material, immersion time, temperature, and pH can be challenging, which may result in uneven appearance and color finish. Furthermore, in general chromate treatments, the color may change as corrosion begins.
