Rack Zinc Plating

Acadian Group's rack zinc plating process provides precision coating for larger components and parts requiring individual handling. This method ensures optimal current distribution and coating uniformity on complex geometries, making it ideal for automotive brackets, structural components, and precision manufactured parts.

Our rack plating systems feature custom-designed fixtures that provide secure mounting and optimal electrical contact for each component. The trivalent zinc process delivers environmentally responsible coating with excellent corrosion protection and appearance characteristics.

This project demonstrates our capability to handle precision components requiring tight coating specifications and dimensional tolerances. Our experienced operators and quality control systems ensure consistent results for critical applications.

This rack zinc plating project involved precision coating of automotive brackets and structural components requiring exact dimensional tolerances and uniform coating thickness. Custom fixtures were designed to provide optimal current distribution while maintaining component geometry.

The process began with thorough surface preparation including alkaline cleaning, pickling, and activation to ensure optimal adhesion. Components were individually mounted on racks designed for their specific geometry, ensuring proper electrical contact and coating distribution.

Quality control was rigorous, with each component undergoing dimensional inspection, coating thickness measurement, and visual examination. Salt spray testing confirmed corrosion resistance performance meeting automotive industry standards.

The trivalent zinc coating provided excellent corrosion protection while meeting environmental regulations. Post-coating chromate conversion treatments enhanced corrosion resistance and provided the required appearance characteristics for automotive applications.
