This can be achieved by rigorous cleaning of the metal substrate, use of an effective pretreatment (historically, a chromate, but now more likely to be a zirconium oxide) and a highly adherent primer.
Industrial uses of hexavalent chromium compounds include chromate pigments in dyes, paints, inks, and plastics; chromates added as anticorrosive agents to paints, primers, and other surface coatings; and chromic acid electroplated onto metal parts to provide a decorative or protective coating.
Characterization of coatings: Sol-gel pretreatmcnts, along with other commercial chromate and non-chromate pretreatments, have been characterized for accelerated corrosion performance by neutral salt-fog test--ASTM B117 salt-spray test--and were monitored for varying lengths of time.
