HOURS AND SERVICES

ZINC COATING

The service life of Zinc coating is a function of it's thickness and the type of environment to which is exposed. While the conditions of exposure and uses of electroplated metal are so varied that it is not possible to predict the life of articles protected by a coating of a given thickness, those using zinc coating can draw on the results corrosion tests camed out over the years. The fallowing data based on worldwide testing, may be used to campare the behavior of electro-deposited coatings of zinc in various atmospheres.The values are only relative, since studies in various parts of the world have resulted in figures which vary widely in these averages.

SC-4: VERY SEVERE

Exposure to harsh conditions, or subject to frequent exposure to moisture, cleaners and Saline solution, plus likely damege by denting,scratching and abrasive wear.

SC-3: SEVERE

Exposure to condensation, perspiration,

infrequent wetting by rain and cleaners.

SC-2: MODERATE

Exposure mostly to dry indoor atmosperes but subject to occasional condensation,

wear or abrasion.

SC-1: MILD

Exposure to indoor atmosphere with rate

condensation and subject to minimum wear or abrasion.

Nickel plating, also known as enickel and NiP, offers many advantages: uniform layer thickness over most complicated surfaces, direct plating of ferrous metals (steel), superior wear and corrosion resistance to electroplated nickel or chrome.

The process used in electroplating is called electrodeposition. It is analogous to a galvanic cell acting in reverse. The part to be plated is the cathode of the circuit. In one technique, the anode is made of the metal to be plated on the part.
