Zinc Plating Services
DEZE provides first-class zinc plating solutions. Using advanced electroplating technology, DEZE ensures that metal parts receive a uniform and durable zinc coating. This not only enhances the aesthetics of the product but also provides strong protection against corrosion.
What is Zinc Plating?
Zinc Plating(Galvanizing) is a surface treatment technique that involves coating the surface of metals, alloys, or other materials with a layer of zinc for purposes such as aesthetics and rust prevention. This treatment is mainly achieved through the hot-dip galvanizing method, in which metal parts are immersed in molten zinc to form a tightly bonded alloy coating that protects the base metal (such as steel or iron) from corrosion.
The zinc layer prevents the base metal from rusting by forming a physical barrier and acting as a sacrificial anode, providing some protection even when the barrier is damaged. The process of zinc plating not only extends the service life of metal parts but also provides sufficient protection from corrosion and damage, making it widely used in many fields such as construction, automotive parts, electrical appliances, etc.
Custom Parts with Zinc Plating
Zinc plating provides a robust protective layer that enhances the corrosion resistance and durability of custom parts.
DEZE’s zinc plating services deliver a uniform coating that significantly boosts the material’s resilience against environmental degradation. This process forms a strong, protective barrier that shields the base metal from corrosion and wear, making it ideal for applications requiring extended lifespan and reliability.
Additionally, zinc plating is a cost-effective solution that enhances the functional performance of custom parts while meeting environmental standards by minimizing waste production. Moreover, zinc-coated materials maintain their integrity even under conditions of minor damage to the coating, continuing to protect against rust and degradation.
Hot-dip galvanizing
This is a method of immersing metal parts in molten zinc to cover their surface with a layer of zinc. Hot-dip galvanizing has good bonding strength, but the process is relatively complex and the production cost is high.
The coating thickness of hot-dip galvanizing is between 45~55μm, with good corrosion resistance. It is mostly used in steel pipe towers, steel pipe poles, angle steel towers, photovoltaic power generation, and other projects.
Electro galvanizing
This is a method of attaching zinc ions to the metal surface using an electrolytic reaction. Electro galvanizing has a simple process and high production efficiency and can be widely used in the anti-corrosion treatment of various metal materials.
Electro galvanizing can be divided into many types, such as hanging galvanizing and rolling galvanizing, and according to the different chemical solutions used, it can also be divided into acid galvanizing alkaline galvanizing, etc.
Zinc Plating FAQs
The durability of zinc plating varies depending on factors like coating thickness, environmental conditions, and application. While zinc plating offers strong corrosion resistance and can last several years indoors, outdoor exposure may shorten its lifespan. However, adequate coating thickness and regular maintenance can enhance its durability.
Look for a uniform, dull gray coating with a slight texture. Alternatively, use a magnet to test if the metal is magnetic, as some galvanized coatings can affect magnetism.
The choice depends on the application. Aluminum is lighter and naturally corrosion-resistant, while galvanized steel is stronger and can be more cost-effective.
Both have their strengths, so the decision should be based on specific project requirements.
can dissolve zinc plating. To prevent damage, harsh chemicals should be avoided when cleaning or maintaining zinc-plated surfaces.
