your Electro Plating needs.
ELECTRO PLATING
Electro Plating, is widely used for its corrosion-resistant properties and attractive silvery-grey finish. Its sacrificial nature, where it corrodes slowly to protect the underlying metal, makes it a preferred choice in many applications.
Adding a thin protective layer of aluminum before applying the zinc plating further enhances the corrosion resistance of the metal part. Passivation of the surface ensures excellent rust protection, contributing to the longevity of the plating.
The availability of different sealers allowing for various color finishes adds versatility to the process, catering to different aesthetic preferences or functional requirements.
Moreover, the integration of zinc atomically with the metal surface ensures a durable bond that cannot be peeled off, offering long-lasting protection against corrosion.
It's worth noting that zinc plating can be applied to a variety of materials including mild steel, copper alloys, and zinc alloys, expanding its applicability across different industries and use cases.
The transformation of the zinc surface to zinc oxide and eventually to zinc carbonate over time maintains the protective coating, ensuring continued corrosion resistance even with prolonged exposure to the atmosphere.
USES OF ELECTRO PLATING
While the electroplating of metals is most renowned for its ability to modify the surface of a metal, it has more uses than just that.
Here are just a few that have helped this process be a constant feature on the list of practical methods to preserve metals:
-
It minimises friction
-
It improves surface uniformity
-
It improves a metal surface's thickness
-
It improves wear resistance
-
It improves the electrical conductivity of a metal
