To be more competitive, the automobile industry has started demanding more corrosion resistance for Zinc plated components for more ‘warranty life’ to the finished goods. The functional properties of plated components are improved by adopting suitable Zinc alloy plating process with suitable chromate conversion coating. Alloying material incorporated in Zinc matrix enhances corrosion resistance without affecting any other features of Zinc deposit. Techno-commercially viable alloy processes are Zinc-Cobalt, Zinc-Iron, Zinc-Nickel and Tin-Zinc.
