Tin Zinc Alloy Plating
Tin Zinc Plating exhibits exceptional corrosion resistance, as well as providing an extemely lubricious film with exceptionally good throwing power.
It's first-rate throwing and covering power allows for a relatively uniform thickness even in recesses.
Corrosion Protection with Tin Zinc Plating
The alloy of Tin and Zinc in the plated layer offers exceptional levels of corrosion protection, it also provides galvanic corrosion protection of steel substrates when they are in contact with aluminium.
The plated film is conductive and offers solderability where required.
It is also incredibly ductile and components can be post formed by crimping and bending after plating.
Tin Zinc is an ideal replacement for cadmium plating whilst not causing harmful environmental impacts.
Advantages of using Tin Zinc Plating:
Tin Zinc Plating offers excellent solderability which does not deteriorate even if plated parts are left in the atmosphere for extended periods of time. The superior ductility of Tin Zinc plating gives excellent performance in secondary processing and maintains high corrosion resistance after crimping or bending.
Key properties of Tin Zinc Plating:
- Corrosion Protection
- Typical Rack plated component with yellow passivate - 2000+ hours to Red corrosion (neutral salt spray)
- Ductile
- Temperature resistant
- Conductive
- Solderable
- Lubricious
