Removal of Chemical Conversion Coating from ZAMAC
Hi there, I'm trying to remove a conversion coating (CrVI-free) from Zamac. So far I have used caustic degreaser, but either the CCC wasn't removed properly or the Zamac was affected negatively as when I did another conversion coating on the same piece, the corrosion protection was very low.
I hope any of you has a good idea.

Zinc is highly sensitive to caustics and most acids in any appreciable concentration. If your chemical suppliers cannot help you with specific CC strippers maybe sand or glass bead blasting could do the job.
