Mechanical zinc coating.

Mechanical plating also known as peen plating mechanical deposition or impact plating is a plating process that imparts the coating by cold welding fine metal particles to a workpiece. The coating density is approximately 0 45 oz ft 2 mil compared to the hot dip galvanized coating density of about 0 6 oz ft 2 mil. The coating upon micro cross section appears to consist of flattened particles of zinc loosely bonded together. Inverplex is a mixed coating of zinc and tin that has better conductivity and corrosion resistance than zinc.

Mechanical zinc process uses kinetic impact energy of impact media along with special chemicals and zinc alloy powder to create an adherent uniform highly corrosion. Mechanical galvanization is the same process but applies to coatings that are thicker than 0 001 in 0 025 mm. The components to be coated are placed into a tumbling barrel containing. They are more ductile than zinc and are very advantageous when used in contact with aluminium.

The corrosion protection is directly related to the amount of zinc in the coating. Mechanical zinc process uses kinetic impact energy of impact media along with special chemicals and zinc alloy powder to create an adherent uniform highly corrosion. The hot dip coating has over 30 more zinc per unit volume than the mechanical coating. Mechanical zinc is an excellent coating method that imparts a superb metal surface finish on ferrous metal components for providing long term corrosion protection.

The hot dip coating has over 30 more zinc per unit volume than the mechanical coating. Cip is certified to work with coating for zinc deposited mechanically onto iron and steel basis metals. It is essentially a cold welding concept that applies the coating using mechanical energy at room temperature without giving any lasting hydrogen embrittlement. Mechanical zinc is an excellent coating method that imparts a superb metal surface finish on ferrous metal components for providing long term corrosion protection.

Almac coatings are combinations of aluminium and zinc which give substantially increased corrosion resistance compared with zinc. It is commonly used to overcome hydrogen embrittlement problems. We also work with both type i as coated without supplementary treatment and type ii with chromate conversion treatment b695 specifications for special processing needs. Mechanical plating can be used to apply zinc tin or aluminium coatings either singly or in combination.
