\"E-coatThis page helps define the basic characteristics of a E-Coated Heatsink<\/a> when the treatment is applied to the surface of heatsinks which are used to assist in the cooling of heat generating devices (typically electronic components).\u00a0 We will focus on thermal performance compared to an Anodized coating.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n\tE-Coating is a method of immersion wet painting which utilizes electrical current to deposit paint onto the metal working piece.\u00a0 E-Coating is a generic term and has many industry names: Electro Painting, Electro Coating (E Coating), Electro Coating Primer, Electrophoretic Lacquering, Cathodic Electrodeposition (CED Coating) and Cationic Epoxy.\u00a0 Specifically, the process is described as Cathodic Epoxy Electrodeposition Primer.<\/p>\n

The process is similar to electro deposition of metals except E-Coating uses organic paint.\u00a0 The two main industry specifications are MIL-DTL-53084 and A-A-52474.\u00a0 After applying, E-Coating provides a consistent finish which is also corrosion resistant.\u00a0 The most common paint color is Black; although different colors may be specified since they can be used as a decorative finish.\u00a0 Parts need an electrically conductive surface in order to be E-Coated.<\/p>\n

The process of E-Coating is broken up into 4 main steps.<\/p>\n
