Zinc-iron detail
Corrosion protection with the power of zinc and iron.
Zinc-iron plating is an electrolytic coating process that deposits a layer of zinc and iron onto a metal substrate. The resulting alloy offers superior corrosion resistance compared to traditional zinc coatings, making it an ideal choice for applications that require a high degree of protection against environmental factors such as moisture, salt, and chemicals.
Some typical specifications that can be achieved with zinc-iron plating include:
- Corrosion resistance of at least 360 hours in salt spray tests according to ISO 9227 or ASTM B117.
- Thin coating thickness of 5-15 micrometers.
- Uniform coating coverage with minimal porosity and excellent adhesion to the substrate.
- Excellent weldability and good formability of the coated substrate.
- The coating can be applied to various metals, including iron, steel, cast iron, Zamac.
- Finish in black matte or blue-white gloss.
- All this through a cost-efficient process.
Applications
- Automotive, where it is used, for example, for parts such as brake lines, fuel tanks, and chassis components.
Construction sector, where it is used for steel beams and plates.
Aerospace, where it is used for aircraft parts.
Agriculture for applications such as agricultural machinery and irrigation systems.
Household appliances such as refrigerators and washing machines.
Electronic components such as computer housings.
