Zinc, a bluish-white, lustrous metal, is one of the most often used metals in the electroplating industry.
Three J’s Industries uses an alkaline zinc plating bath. The resulting finish gives the steel part a corrosion protection coating as well as a nice bright appearance.
The alkaline zinc plating bath used by Three J’s Industries is exceptional because it is very ductile and has superior resistance to hydrogen embrittlement. Other types of zinc plating, like acid zinc, are not ductile and are very susceptible to hydrogen embrittlement. Alkaline zinc is the process most often used in the automotive industry, especially on safety parts.
Three J’s Industries uses a cyanide cadmium plating bath. Cadmium can be plated at a commercial thickness of .0001 inch. Additional thickness can be added to increase the corrosion protection of the raw material.
Three J’s Industries electroplates parts with zinc in conformance with the most current specifications for a number of industry and OEM requirements.
