Electrogalvanizing services

In contrast to other coatings, zinc also provides active cathodic corrosion protection in addition to its shielding effect. In contrast to the more precious iron, zinc acts as a sacrificial anode. This effect also protects the base material in case of damage after coating (scratches or impact marks). Additional properties are achieved by downstream processes, such as passivation, sealing and other similar processes.

Part surface treatment

CNC machined parts galvanized surface treatment

Zinc plating, also known as cold galvanizing in the industry, is a process that uses electrolysis to form a uniform, dense, well-bonded anodic metal or alloy deposit layer on the surface of a manufactured part. Compared to other metals, zinc is a relatively inexpensive and easy to coat metal, is a low-value corrosion protection plating, and is widely used to protect steel parts, especially against atmospheric corrosion, and for decorative purposes.

Critical items

Non standard requests

* We provide ASTM B633 electro-galvanized standard. Test methods: X-ray spectrometry film thickness test, zinc layer adhesion test, salt spray test, hydrogen embrittlement test. If you have special needs, please contact sales@xavier-parts.com

**Zinc can protect more precious metals from corrosion, and by adding organic substances, the glossiness of the surface can be adjusted from matte to shiny.
