What Zinc Plating Does
An electric current deposits a few microns of zinc that corrodes before the steel, with the material basis in our Carbon Steel Supplier page and the finishing overview in our Metal Surface Treatment Guide.
Zinc Plate vs Hot-Dip
Zinc plating is thin and precise for threaded fasteners; hot-dip is thick for structures; zinc-flake suits high-temperature assemblies, with the heavy-coat route in our Galvanizing Supplier page.
| Method | Revestimiento | Use |
|---|---|---|
| Zinc plate | 5 to 25 um | Fasteners |
| Hot-dip | Thick | Structures |
| Zinc flake | Thin | High-temp |
Finishes and Topcoats
Clear, blue, yellow or black passivates and sealers extend life; specify appearance and salt-spray hours.
Best Applications
Fasteners, brackets and electronics hardware use zinc plating, with the structural view in our Galvanized Steel Buyers Guide.
