Is phosphatation possible on stainless steels

Is phosphatation possible on stainless steels

Is phosphatation possible on stainless steels

(OP)
Hi everybody,

it is certainly a dummy question, but as far as I can't find the answer, I'm asking:

Is it possible to apply phosphating treatment on stainless steels, and more precisely on 17-4PH steel?

Many thanks,

David

Phosphate coatings do not really work for steels with high Cr content (Cr > 5%).  Oxalate coatings are used to coat stainless steels when subsequent metal forming is required.  Dry film lubricants based on MoS2 and copper plating (with or without subsequent lubricant) are also used.
