Your questions, while relavent, would be quite lengthy to answer. I would suggest you purchase or otherwise secure some books on the subjects of electroplating and conversion coating. Short chapters on these are available in the Metal Finishing Guidebook and in "Products Finishing" (magazine) Directory Issue.
