Info on Zinc Phosphate Coatings
I have a casting that has been coated with zinc phosphate per TT-C-490
[affil link or DLA]
. Should it appear as a thin white residue when properly applied?
Donald Skura
What alloy is this casting? White residue doesn't sound right to me. It certainly shouldn't rub off easily.
