The coating can affect the heat transfer of your aluminum part, and this will depend on the material, thickness and morphological characteristics of the coating.

Yes, electrodeposition (ED) coating on aluminum can affect its heat transfer capacity, but the extent depends on the type, thickness, and thermal conductivity of the coating material.

Key Factors to Consider:

Recommendation:

• If thermal performance is critical (e.g., heat sinks or thermal exchangers), you may want to avoid ED coatings or use thin, high-conductivity coatings like nickel-phosphorus (Ni-P) or anodized aluminum.
• For parts not requiring high thermal performance, ED coating provides corrosion protection and aesthetic benefits, making it suitable for non-thermal applications.
