What is Zinc Plating, and What are its Advantages?

Galvanization, or zinc plating, covers substrate metals such as iron and steel with a zinc coating to protect the material from corrosion. The zinc coatings serve as a sacrificial anode, creating a physical barrier between a substrate and potentially corrosive elements. There are multiple types of zinc coatings, including:

There are several benefits to zinc plating, including:

Understanding Zinc Plating Thickness

The protection provided by zinc plating is proportional to the plating’s thickness, so thicker platings offer more protection for the metal. Environmental conditions are essential to consider when determining the ideal thickness of a zinc plating. For example, dry and well-kept conditions indoors require less thickness than outdoor conditions where materials endure more corrosive elements.
