Module 6. Materials & hardware

A non-electrolytic chemical treatment for aluminium alloys to increase corrosion resistance and paint bonding qualities is called

  • alodizing.
  • anodizing.
  • dichromating.

Explanation

Alodizing is a non-electrolytic chemical (chromate) conversion treatment for aluminium alloys that raises corrosion resistance and improves paint bonding. Anodizing is electrolytic and dichromating is associated with magnesium, so the non-electrolytic process described is alodizing.

Crystal asking:

Why not anodizing?

Because anodizing is an electrolytic process.
