Galvanization
Corrosion-resistant zinc plated steel parts and steel or galvanization is the most popular method of corrosion protection.
Galvanizing – application of a thin layer of zinc or its alloys on the metal surface. To date, galvanization is the most effective method of dealing with rust. Galvanizing is favorably compared with earlier used forms of metal protection – magnesium, aluminum or cadmium coating. Galvanizing is not only environmentally friendlier, but also more cost efficient, as 80 % of the material is suitable for re-use - physical, mechanical and chemical properties of zinc do not deteriorate with repeated processing.
This principle of corrosion protection is based on the phenomenon that zinc contained in the coating reacts first, which due to its stability can reliably protect the metal. The average thickness of the zinc layer should be 10-50 microns.
Quality galvanized major parts is a basic requirement for enterprises and construction projects with aggressive conditions, e.g. with the rapid changes in humidity, high soil acidity, etc. The more aggressive environment, the thicker should be the protective layer. The average service life of products made of galvanized steel is 25-30 years.
Our company offers corrosion protection using electroplating method based on the attachment of zinc molecules on the metal surface when electric current comes through electrolyte (aqueous solution of zinc salts). This technology allows to obtain an uniform 20 microns layer.
Galvanizing is performed using zinc produced by a certified supplier "Kazzinc" and meets international standards.
