    Zinc Plating: Randhir Kumar Singh Asst Professor Opjit

    Uploaded by

    Rahul Pandey
    This document discusses zinc plating and conversion coatings used to protect zinc-plated steel parts from corrosion. It notes that zinc plating is the most commonly used and lowest cost method for corrosion protection. Conversion coatings, especially hexavalent chromium-based yellow and clear coats, provide additional protection but newer trivalent chromium coats provide comparable protection without the health and environmental risks of hexavalent chromium. The document also describes an automated ion exchange system that maintains the purity of trivalent passivation solutions, removing zinc and iron contaminants that could reduce the corrosion protection.

    Zinc Plating

    Randhir Kumar Singh Asst Professor OPJIT

    Zinc Plated Components

    Zinc Plating
    Most commonly used

    Lowest priced
    Offers Anodic Corrosion Protection to Steel Parts

    Zinc Plating
    Conversion Coatings (passivates)
    Retards White Rust Formation of Zinc Choices are:
    Clear Yellow Black Olive Drab

    Zinc Plating

    4 Hours Salt Spray Exposure


    With Passivate Without Passivate

    Zinc Plating
    Conversion Coatings
    Hexavalent Chromates were standard for years Trivalent Passivates now available for Clear
    Yellow and Black can be produced with dyes and top coats

    Zinc Plating
    Conversion Coatings Most commonly finished are Yellow and Clear

    Hexavalent yellow gives more protection than Hex Clear or Inexpensive Tris

    Zinc Plating
    Conversion Coatings
    New Trivalent Conversion Coatings are available with corrosion protection greater than Hex. Yellows
    120+ Hours VS 96 Hours (ASTM B117 Neutral Salt Spray)

    Zinc Plating
    Conversion Coatings
    Advantages of Trivalent Conversion Coatings:
    Excellent Corrosion Protection No Cr +6 Safer for Environment, Employees Complies with EU Directives (WEEE/RoHS, ELV) Helps meet OSHA Cr PEL Uniform Blue Bright

    Zinc Plating
    Conversion Coatings
    Disadvantages of Trivalent Conversion Coatings
    Does not provide inhibition to uncoated areas Not Self-healing
    Less tolerant to Zn and Fe*

    Expensive make-up and operations (approx 20X)* * reasons for purification process

    Zinc Plating
    Effects of Contamination:
    From Zn source is the deposit itself Above 2000 mg/l
    Reduced corrosion protection White, cloudy appearance

    From Fe source is uncoated area of parts Above 100 mg/l


    Reduced corrosion protection Dull, yellowish appearance
