Text Box: Zinc Iron is becoming the preferred finish for many designers and engineers looking for a reliable high corrosion resistant finish on fasteners, pressings and Assemblies. Many automotive companies are specifying it where parts are exposed to harsh conditions e.g. underbody, including BMW, Land Rover, Volvo, Vauxhall etc. The sacrificial protection afforded by normal zinc plating is enhanced considerably when alloyed with small quantities of iron, typically 0.6% of iron in deposit. This protection is further improved by the use of a non silver based black passivate or a deep bronze passivate. Neutral salt spray results of 2,000 hours to 5% red and 600 hours to ‘white’ rust can be achieved on rack plated components, and approximately half this on barrel plated parts. Trenton Electroplating has large dedicated lines for both rack and barrel plating with facilities for processing ferrous, non-ferrous and die cast components. A full range of passivates, seals and lubricants are available.
