One of the common ways of heating in apartment buildings, offices and stores is the use of radiators. The heated water in the central heating system of the building is transferred to various parts of the building by pumps and pipes and into radiators of each section. Hot water, when it has lost its warmth, is returned to the engine room to warm up, and the cycle is repeated continuously. Radiators are made of various materials such as aluminum, steel, copper or cast iron. One of the important points in using radiators is the possibility of corrosion due to contact with water and moisture. Generally, in order to increase the resistance of the radiator, surface coating is applicable. Various types of coating methods such as phosphate or chromate conversion coating are used on the surface of this parts. Considering environmental and health policies, using of these materials has been limited and coatings containing other materials such as zirconium oxide, titanium oxide and vanadium oxide have been introduced. Applying these coatings does not require toxic substances such as Chrome, Phosphates or Nickel. It is also possible to apply layers with very thin thickness (as a nano-layer) on the surface to obtain properties such as enhanced adhesion to substrate and better corrosion resistance.
