Zinc Iron Plating offers Sacrificial Protection

 

Zinc Iron Plating is a reliable high corrosion resistant finish ideal for fasteners, pressings and assemblies. In many industries where parts are exposed to harsh conditions zinc iron plating is required.

 

Zinc Iron Plating offers good corrosion resistance, typically 4 to 5 times better performance than Zinc Plating and a deep, lustrous black appearance.

 

Zinc Iron Alloy Plating for corrosion resistance

 

Zinc Plating offers sacrificial protection, this is further enhanced once the zinc is alloyed with small quantities of iron. In order to further improve the level of protection offered by zinc iron plating non silver based black passivate or a deep bronze passivate and seals can be used.

 

It is used extensively in applications where its appearance is of key importance.

 

Key Properties of Zinc Iron Alloy

 

  • Corrosion Protection
  • Typical Rack plated component with black passivate - 480 hours to White corrosion
  • Consistent Black finish
  • Abrasion resistance - harder than normal Zinc plating systems
