Abstract
The steam treatment process was employed to produce a conversion coating on aluminium alloy AA6060. The changes in
microstructure and its effect on corrosion resistance properties were investigated. Various concentrations of KMnO4 containing
Ce(NO3)3 was injected into the steam and its effect on the formation of steam-based conversion coating was evaluated. The use of
Mn-Ce into the steam resulted in incorporation of these species into the conversion coating, which resulted in improved corrosion
resistance of the alloy substrate.
