What's inside
- ✓Zero-assumption fundamentals — a CHEMICAL conversion coating on aluminum, NO electric current
- ✓Chem film / Alodine: corrosion + paint/adhesive base that stays electrically CONDUCTIVE
- ✓The signature difference vs insulating anodize — protects aluminum yet allows grounding/EMI bonds
- ✓Type I (hex, gold, best corrosion) vs Type II (trivalent, clear, RoHS); Class 1A vs Class 3 (conductive)
- ✓The make-or-break DEOXIDIZE step; brush/immersion/spray incl. aircraft field touch-up
- ✓Coverage verification for clear Type II; MIL-DTL-5541 / MIL-DTL-81706
- ✓Cr VI safety for Type I (OSHA 1910.1026, mist control, respirators, waste) + RoHS move to Type II

Training Manual
Aluminum Conversion Coating (Chem Film / Alodine) — The Complete Training Manual
A 51-page, plain-language training manual for chem film (chemical film / Alodine / Iridite) — chromate conversion coating on ALUMINUM, MIL-DTL-5541. A conversion coating (a chemical film, NO electric current). Written in a friendly, “for-dummies” style that assumes zero prior knowledge, it teaches conversion-coating fundamentals, then chem film specifically: its two defining jobs — corrosion protection + paint/adhesive base, AND staying electrically CONDUCTIVE (low contact resistance) so it protects aluminum while still allowing grounding/EMI bonds, the signature difference from insulating anodize. Covers Type I (hexavalent, gold/tan, best corrosion) vs Type II (trivalent/chrome-free, clear, RoHS), Class 1A (max corrosion) vs Class 3 (low electrical resistance), the make-or-break DEOXIDIZE step, brush/immersion/spray application including aircraft field touch-up, and coverage verification for clear Type II. Cr VI hazard control is integrated for Type I (OSHA 1910.1026, mist control, respirators, Cr⁶⁺→Cr³⁺ waste), with the RoHS/REACH move to Type II. Ends with a 20-question completion test, answer key, and a printable certificate of completion.
