Rhodium plating is a corrosive prevention method in which the metal is coated in a thin layer of rhodium for added strength and shine. This process can also resist scratches on the metal surface and provides a shiny appearance.

It is usually seen on the outer surface of the metal. During corrosion, the upper layer of metal becomes exposed, as well as its inner surface. As a result, the corrosion tends to continue all the way to the metal’s depth. Let’s discuss the types of corrosion below. Overall, the paints get a thumbs up from me and I look forward to experimenting with them more in the future. Thanks for that! I am going to paint up a "test torso" (spare armored torso from blightkings sprue) and post a pic later. Hope This thread isnt getting boring/redundant, but @Spiky Norman ..you have been an amazing sounding board and inspiration for me. Even if the topic is so acute and a bit random. This method is a little more involved and does require the use of an airbrush, so it’s not a great one for new painters or those without an airbrush (though you can achieve the same effect without using an airbrush – but we’ll get to that in a moment). Step 1 – PrimingApply the paint to corners and joining areas – Use the detail brush to apply paint to the corners and joining areas of your model.

Crevice corrosion: Similar to pitting, crevice corrosion occurs at a specific location. This type of corrosion is often associated with a stagnant micro-environment, like those found under gaskets and washers and clamps. Acidic conditions or a depletion of oxygen in a crevice can lead to crevice corrosion.The most common example of this phenomenon is the selective removal of the less noble zinc element in brass alloys, also known as dezincification. Alloys composed of metallic elements that are furthest apart in the galvanic series are the most susceptible to this type of corrosion. Erosion Corrosion Citadel Technical Paint is a range of water-based, non-toxic paints that can be used to add special effects to plastic models. The paint is designed to add special effects to your model, including weathering, chipping, rusting, and other damage effects. These choices were based on the color’s ability to highlight the dark and corrupted tone of the Warhammer 40K universe as well as how well it complemented the color schemes of the various factions. I like how the armor is green but also corroded. Like these guys have been marching in acid rain for ages. I see the small bits of ryza rust patches. I may or may not add that.. But how do I achieve this colored/corroded effect? Is it textured do you think? or simply stippling? ANY ideas would be VERY helpful!

Jewelry that is coated with rhodium plating is more lustrous and durable than other metals. It is used in the production of jewelry, especially where white gold plating is required. The benefits of using this process are that it doesn’t dent or tarnish and retains its luster. In addition, it also improves adhesion, lubricity, and corrosion resistance. Even though the cadmium plating is very thin, it provides adequate wear protection. Almost all conductive metals can be coated with cadmium. #15 Bluing The majority of this guide is going to be built around using the above-mentioned Rust Water Soluble Paint from Dirty Down. Because this is in-part an exploration of this product, in part a painting guide, we’re actually going to go through a couple of methods for using this rust paint instead of just one.Whilst this might sound like something you’d expect to receive a lecture on whilst doing a Biology degree, our second way of using Dirty Down’s Rust Water Soluble Paint requires some different products to the first. Namely, Mournfang Brown or Typhus Corrosion. This paint isn’t as heavily textured, so will give the impression that some areas are more worn than others. Step 3 – The Browning Chrome plating is an electroplating process in which chrome acid, called hexavalent chromium, is used. It is a method of electroplating a thin layer of chromium onto a metal part.
