A STUDY OF THE OPERATING LIMITS OF THE STANNATE IMMERSION BATH

Abstract

A study was conducted to determine the operating limits of the stannate immersion process for minimizing galvanic corrosion of magnesium-steel couples. Salt spray tests on specimens treated and then painted indicated that 100 sq. feet of work containing up to 22 percent steel could be safely processed per gallon of bath before substandard coatings were produced. Magnesium steel couples containing more than 22 percent steel would not receive a satisfactory stannate coating.
