Abstract
Description
FIELD OF INVENTION
[0001] The present invention relates to the application and generation of a non-toxic and environmentally safe protein or protein compounds based conversion coating for magnesium, its alloys and Beryllium and its alloys. More particularly the invention relates to a composition and a method of conversion coating magnesium, its alloys, and Beryllium and its alloys with a non-toxic and environmentally friendly protein composition that reacts in-situ with the surface of the metal to generate a conversion coating that incorporates the metal in question.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0002] The chemical conversion coating of magnesium, its alloys and beryllium and its alloys is known in the art as a process whereby the surface of the metal is chemically converted to a surface that more easily accepts applied coatings, i.e. paint, and / or increases the corrosion resistance of the metal. An industry accepted process for the conversion coating of magnesium, its alloys and berylli...
