Pre-treatment, post-treatment, final coating and removal process variations
The use of chemical surface treatment can be categorised as follows:
- Pre-treatment prepares the parts for the actual plating process, such as degreasing or pickling
- Post-treatment finalises the plating process, such as passivation or colouring
- Changing the metal surface by chemical reaction and acting as the final coating, such as black oxidising (blackening), phosphating, chromating or passivation
- Paint or surface removal, such as etching, chemical milling or stripping
