Phosphate Coatings & Oil Coatings
Click to enlargePhosphate is a coating that is often used on steel parts in order to provide corrosion protection, lubricity, or as a pretreatment for further coatings such as paint or powder coating. Typically, once a part has been phosphated, a further coating of oil is applied which will further increase the corrosion protection of the part. The finish provided by the phosphate coating will be gray to black in appearance.
- TT-C-490D - Also known as a "light" phosphate coating is used as a pretreatment for coatings such as CARC painting.
- DOD-P-16232-F - This is known as a "heavy" phosphate which is used for corrosion protection, anti-galling, and for bonding of further paint applications.
Type M - Manganese Phosphate Coatings
- Class 1: Supplementary preservative treatment or coating, as specified.
- Class 2: Supplementary treatment with preservative conforming to MIL-PRF-16173, Grade 3 or MIL-PRF-3150.
- Class 3: No supplementary treatment
Type Z - Zinc Black Phosphate Coatings
- Class 1: Supplementary preservative treatment or coating, as specified.
- Class 2: Supplementary treatment with preservative conforming to MIL-PRF-16173, Grade 3 or MIL-PRF-3150.
- Class 3: No supplementary treatment
Base Materials that phosphate can be applied to are medium and low alloy steels for gray and black phosphate coatings.
