Zinc Plating Services
Zinc plating is a cost-effective and widely used method for protecting metal components from corrosion. This electroplating process involves depositing a thin layer of zinc onto steel or iron parts, creating a barrier that resists rust and oxidation while enhancing the part’s appearance.
Key Benefits
- Corrosion Resistance: Zinc acts as a sacrificial coating, corroding first to protect the base metal.
- Enhanced Appearance: Offers a clean, bright finish with optional clear, yellow, black, or olive drab chromates.
- Cost-Effective: A reliable and economical choice for long-term protection.
- Good Adhesion: Provides an excellent base for paints or other coatings.
Capabilities
- Plating Thickness: Up to 0.001” (25 microns), depending on your application requirements.
- Finish Options: Clear (blue), yellow, black, and olive drab chromates. (Available upon request.)
- Part Size & Geometry: Best suited for parts with wide range of sizes and weight
- Feasibility: Available for barrel and rack plating up to 120” L x 30” W x 48” H and 500 lbs.
