Zusammenfassung:Coated metal particles 10 comprise a coating 14 derived from a molybdate solution that is reactive to the uncoated metal. Typically, the metal is aluminium or aluminium alloy. Preferably, the coating comprises a molybdate oxide and is electrically conductive or semiconductive, with a thickness of 1 nm to 5 microns. The coating is normally free from chromium and/or lithium. The molybdate solution may comprise potassium molybdate with potassium permanganate and/or potassium hexafluorozirconate. The solution may be aqueous with a pH of 2-4 or 9-11. A corrosion-resistant composition comprising the coated metal particles and a binder is also disclosed, wherein the composition is suitable for application onto a metal substrate. The composition may comprise an ionic or organic corrosion inhibitor, which is lithium-free and may comprise synergistic combinations of metal oxalates, metal pirates, metal succinates, metal tartrates, and metal adipates. A method of manufacturing the coated particles is further claimed.
