Zinc Plating FAQ
What steel parts are suitable for zinc plating?
Carbon steel, alloy steel and compatible ferrous fasteners, brackets and machined parts can be reviewed. High-strength parts require a specification-led hydrogen-embrittlement review, including any required relief treatment and verification.
Can you provide clear, blue or yellow passivation?
Clear, blue, yellow or project-specific appearances can be evaluated with the passivation system. Appearance alone does not define chemistry or compliance, so specify the required standard and restricted-substance requirements.
How do you control plating thickness and coverage?
Racking, contact points and plating conditions are planned around geometry and significant surfaces. Thickness and coverage are checked at agreed locations against the approved specification.
Can you mask threads and contact points?
Threads, bores and contact points can be reviewed for masking. Mark no-plate zones and final fit requirements so coverage and contact locations can be planned together.
Can you provide plating and corrosion inspection records?
Plating thickness, passivation and specified corrosion-test records can be included when agreed in the inspection scope. State test standards, acceptance criteria and any post-treatment documentation required with the RFQ.
What information is needed to quote zinc plating?
Send the drawing with steel grade and condition, plating specification, thickness, passivation, quantity and masking requirements. Include critical fits, service conditions and hydrogen-risk requirements where applicable.
Have a Steel Part to Protect?
Send the drawing with substrate, plating thickness, passivation, quantity and masking requirements. We will review the plating route before quoting.
