Mechanical Zinc Plating Equipment

Mechanical galvanization is the same process but applies to coatings that are thicker than 0 001 in 0 025 mm.

Mechanical zinc plating equipment.

Mechanical zinc plating is accomplished by tumbling small parts in a drum with zinc and proprietary chemicals. Zinc chro shield is a unique sealer for chromated zinc deposits which dramatically increases corrosion protection at very little additional cost. About mechanical plating mechanical plating isan effective means of applying zinc tin or other ductile metals or mixtures of ductile metals to metal substrates usually steel in the mechanical plating process impact energy is transferred from a rotating open ended oblique barrel through glass beads resulting in the cold welding of fine metal dust particles to the substrate. Mechanical zinc plating and galvanizing systems offer the perfect solution when the potential for hydrogen embrittlement exists.

Zinc plating configuration form. And since it s added to the final stagnant rinse at low concentrations 1 to 8 by volume no additional equipment is required. Additionaly compared to hot dip galvanizing mechanical plating does not require threads to be chased after plating. It is commonly used to overcome hydrogen embrittlement problems.

Small iron and steel parts usually limited in size to about 8 9 inches 200 300 mm and weighing less than one pound 0 5 kg are cleaned and flash coppercoated before loading into a plating barrel.
