Vacuum Metalization
This process type uses a vacuum chamber where the metal coating is heated at a high temperature. As condensation occurs, the resulting deposits are further processed using a sophisticated plasma vaporization process. Vacuum metalization is mainly used to enhance the usability of fabric or film. It’s especially useful when coating aluminum surfaces to boost their insulation properties.
Hot-Dip Galvanizing
With hot-dip galvanizing, a steel substrate is dipped into molten zinc. An alloy coating forms as the steel and zinc interact. The result is a coating with significant corrosion-resistant properties. This is typically the coating of choice for metals submerged in water or moist soil. This includes boat hulls and other marine vehicles or tools.
Zinc Spray Application
Zinc spraying is another commonly employed technique. The zinc coating acts as a protective barrier against rust and corrosion. Compared to other methods, the application isn’t as thick, but it’s a more affordable alternative. It’s a versatile process that can be applied to most alloys.
