Zinc Plating

Pershore Dip Coating provide zinc plating in Worcester and surrounding areas for a range of metals.

What Is zinc plating?

Zinc plating, sometimes known as galvanisation or electroplating, is a surface treatment that involves the electrochemical deposition of a layer of zinc onto a base metal. A range of industries frequently use a zinc plating service to enhance both the performance and overall appearance of metal parts.

Zinc plating provides exceptional corrosion resistance, improves appearance, and can contribute to the durability and longevity of the meta part. Zinc plating can also make metal easier to solder and can increase electrical conductivity.

A zinc plating service can ensure your components have the necessary corrosion resistance you require, extending their lifespan and improving its appearance.

The Zinc Plating Process

 

The zinc plating process begins with a thorough surface preparation to remove any potential contaminants and ensure proper adhesion. The metal parts are then immersed in a solution containing zinc salts. An electrical current is then applied. This causes the zinc ions to be deposited on the surface of the metal forming a protective zinc layer. This zinc layer provides excellent corrosion resistance.

 

The thickness of the zinc coating can be adjusted to meet specific requirements. A zinc plating service is widely used in a variety of industries, including construction, automotive, electronics and manufacturing. It’s also often used for decorative purposes.

 

Corrosion Resistance, Durability & Improved Appearance

 

Zinc coating provides exceptional corrosion resistance to the base metal. This is because when zinc is electroplated onto steel it forms into a protective layer. This acts as a barrier between the metal substrate and potentially corrosive elements from the surrounding environment, be that moisture or chemicals. This makes the metal more durable and highly resistant to degradation and rust. Zinc plating can be particularly valuable in applications where the metal is likely to be exposed to an outdoor environment or otherwise challenging applications. Zinc plating contributes to the durability and longevity of the metal, helping to reduce maintenance requirements.

 

A zinc plating service can also improve the appearance of metal. Zinc coating gives the base metal a bright, polished finish making the treated metal more visually appealing. Zinc plating is a highly versatile process that can improve the performance of steel components across a range of industries.
