Metallization
Our resilient and durable alternative to hot-dip galvanizing.
The good alternative to hot dip galvanizing
Metallization is suitable for those steel structures that, for various reasons, cannot be hot-dip galvanized. It may be due to the steel's structural size, design, heat tolerance, or the type of steel itself.
Metallization can stand alone as a surface treatment, but most often precedes a multi-layer painting process.
Before the metallization process, the structures will be cleaned by means of air-blow cleaning to ensure the desired surface finish, which increases the adhesion, strength and overall life of the metallization.
Then the zinc is applied by means of an arc, which at high temperatures applies the same principles as in spray painting. Because the metallization is applied manually by the zinc pistol, we can ensure the desired zinc layer thickness with great accuracy. The application is more flexible than hot-dip galvanizing and can precisely cover inaccessible places - such as bearing fits or threaded holes.
The quality will then be inspected visually and the film thickness is decided by a film thickness meter to ensure optimum quality and a uniform feel. Film thickness is measured in my (µ).
