General details
Zinc electroplating is a coating service that puts a zinc layer on ferrous parts. It is often called galvanising and is used on bolts, studs, flanges and sheet metal.
Process
Parts are cleaned and prepared. They are then placed in a zinc plating bath and an electric current is applied. A zinc coating forms on the surface.
Materials handled
Zinc electroplating is usually done on ferrous components such as bolts, studs, flanges and sheet metal. It can be done on other metals, but the process may differ.
Capacity
Ask about the largest part that can fit in the plating bath. Ask about the coating thickness range and the finish. Ask about the turnaround time for a batch.

Quality control
This is a general guide to what to ask for, and it is not a statement from any supplier.
Ask for a coating thickness report and a salt spray test report. Check that the coating is even and free from blisters or bare spots. Ask for a certificate of conformance.
