Zinc coating for mild steel
Zinc coating for mild steel
(OP)
Hi all
I'm wondering if someone could tell me where could I find the specs for sn10/cu10/Fe zinc coating for mild steel, which is exposed to a humid ambient but not directly with the fluid. And what are the methods it could be done to withstand 100 hrs in saline water, and what could be an alternative less costly coating method for the same result?
I tried to use the American galvabizers association table in their website but noticed that I need to know a lot of details

RE: Zinc coating for mild steel
And how can I find an alternative solution for that?
Thank you again

Why do you think it is unusual?
It's important to me to know that

And then having been presented with the alternative, less costly method (hot dip galvanizing) that everyone knows about instead of the unknown one that you asked about, YOU then AGAIN asked "...And how can I find an alternative solution for that?"
That alternative, again, is the well known hot dip galvanizing process.
Now it's your turn, to explain to us why the well known hot dip galvanizing process is not acceptable.

In my first question I also have indicated that the treatment name is strange for me: sn10 /cu10 /Fe
My question is: if it is a zinc coating, why doesn't it have the Zn in its name?
