non-hexavalent chrome coatings
(OP)
does anyone know where i can find a ranking of the costs of the non- hexavalent chrome coatings that are used for fasteners. I found this very helpful posting with a table of the coatings ranked by corrosion resistance, but not cost. thread332-189454: Zinc Plating. can I assume that the least effective are the cheapest?

The lowest performance on that chart is a simple zinc phosphate, with a relative cost of 1.
DELTATONE / DORRELTECH B17 14 ยต would have a relative cost of 6.
Geomet is 7.
Zinc platings with TRIVALENT chromate conversion coatings have relative cost > 10.
So, the high-performing zinc-flake coatings are less expensive than the lower-performing zinc platings. Food for thought.
