Anodizing vs. CCC
Anodizing vs. CCC
(OP)
I have a document that says for general surfaces of aluminum, the part shall be chromate conversion coated per MIL-C-5541, Class 1A or anodized per MIL-A-8625 Type 1, Class 1.
I like to know, how does one select one process over the other (anodizing vs. CCC)? Any feedback will be helpful.
Thank you.

RE: Anodizing vs. CCC
cosmetic reasons
corrosion protection
to name a few

Chemical conversion coatings are electrically conductive, and very much more fragile than an anodized finish. (Hexavalent) chromium conversion coatings are not RoHS compliant.
You can specify RoHS compliant chemical conversion coatings.
