Plating Systems & Technologies
317 North Mechanic Street, Jackson, Michigan, United States | Zinc
Mechanical plating is an effective means of applying zinc, tin, or other ductile metals or mixtures of ductile metals to metal substrates - usually steel. In the mechanical plating process, impact energy is transferred from a rotating open - ended oblique barrel through glass beads, resulting in the cold - welding of fine metal dust particles to the substrate. The resulting deposit is slightly porous, matte in finish, and provides corrosion protection to the articles so plated without introducing hydrogen embrittlement into the part. It is therefore used widely to provide corrosion protection to high - strength fasteners, particularly those above about Rockwell C 40.
Mechanical Galvanizing is an extension of the well-established mechanical plating technology. This process is nearly identical except that the amount of metal plated (zinc) is substantially greater - galvanized coatings begin at a coating thickness of 1 mil (0.001' or about 0.045 ounces per square foot) and go up to 1-1/2 ounces per square foot. Most commercial work is done to a thickness target of about 2 mils or about 1 ounce per square foot. Generally, parts to be galvan- ized can be up to 1 pound in weight and up to about 6 inches long.
