Zinc Rods

Pages / Zinc Rods
Zinc rods are cylindrical bars made from high-purity zinc, known for their excellent corrosion resistance and versatility. Our zinc rods are manufactured from virgin zinc ingots with a purity of 99.995%, adhering to the EN 1179 standard and the Z1 classification. They are available in various diameters and lengths, making them suitable for crucial industrial applications like galvanisation. They have a silvery-grey colour and are malleable, which allows for easy machining and shaping.
Zinc rods can have different surface finishes, including polished, matte or oxidised, depending on the manufacturing process and intended use. These finishes not only enhance their appearance but also improve functional qualities like friction resistance and adhesion, thereby expanding their industrial applications.

Applications

  • Electroplating: Zinc rods act as sacrificial anodes in the process of electroplating. When an electric current is applied, zinc oxidises instead of the substrate metal, enhancing the corrosion resistance of the plated object from moisture and corrosive agents while also adding a smooth and clean finish.
  • Metallization: Zinc rods are used in thermal spraying metal to create durable protective coatings. The zinc is heated until molten and sprayed onto the substrate, forming a strong layer that improves resistance to corrosion and wear. This method not only extends the lifespan of metal components but also provides a cost-effective way to protect surfaces in harsh environments.

Frequently Asked Questions​

Zinc wire should be stored in a clean, dry, and well-ventilated area, away from moisture, chemicals, and extreme temperatures. Proper storage prevents oxidation, corrosion, and contamination, ensuring optimal performance during application.

Yes, our zinc wire is manufactured to consistent dimensions and mechanical properties, making it compatible with a wide range of automated and manual thermal spray systems. This ensures smooth feeding, stable arc performance, and uniform coatings.

Before spraying, zinc wire should be checked for cleanliness and surface condition. Any dust, oil, or contaminants should be removed to ensure smooth feeding, stable arc formation, and high-quality coating results.

Yes, zinc is a fully recyclable material. Off-cuts, overspray dust, and spent coatings can be collected and processed for recycling, making zinc wire an environmentally responsible choice.

Yes, wire diameter impacts feed rate, spray pattern, and coating thickness. Thicker wires are suited for high-deposition applications, while thinner wires allow more precise control and finer surface finishes. We offer multiple diameters to match performance requirements.
