Electrogalvanisation, or electroplating, with subsequent chromating/passivation, is one of the most common surface treatment methods for iron and steel workpieces when you want to combine high corrosion protection with a good surface finish and longer life. Electrogalvanising is also referred to as zinc plating.
The advantages of electrogalvanisation include:
- Long-term protection against rust
- High mechanical load-bearing capability
- Very good all-round protection, which includes cavities and edges
- Cathodic corrosion protection
- Nice-looking surface
- Very economical
- Maintenance free
- Good ecological balance; environmentally friendly process
Electrogalvanisation is primarily used for outdoor constructions in areas such as the construction industry, agriculture, mechanical engineering, automotive, furniture and electronics industries.
This surface treatment is used on most metals such as steel, cast iron, copper and copper-based alloys and, to a lesser extent, aluminium alloys.
At Hosta Industries, we use Denmark’s best surface treatment experts for this process, so that your workpieces are always of high quality.
