Surface plating – electric arc galvanizing
Ensuring anti-corrosion treatment of metals is extremely necessary in many areas of construction, in the manufacture of a wide variety of products and equipment. One of the most common modern methods of protecting metal products from corrosion can be called metallization. It involves applying a layer of another metal, most often zinc, to steel structures. This material, unlike iron, is covered with a layer of an oxygen-tight protective film during oxidation, which, in turn, prevents further oxidation of both the metallized coating itself and the iron under it.
Where is surface plating applied?
The advantages of electric arc metallization of structures by industrial galvanizing are that this technique is one of the most versatile and makes it possible to quickly and reliably treat surfaces subject to various increased atmospheric and chemical loads. In particular, this method is used for galvanizing structures and supports of bridges, elevators, communication towers, pipes. The relative ease of galvanizing also makes it possible to protect various parts of a variety of industrial equipment.
