Maily Uses of Zinc Rods / Zinc bar
1.Electroplating and Galvanization:
Zinc rods are commonly used in the electroplating process to provide a protective coating of zinc to steel or iron objects, which helps prevent corrosion.
In galvanization, zinc is used to coat iron or steel to protect it from
rusting by providing a sacrificial layer that corrodes preferentially.
2.Sacrificial Anodes:
Zinc rods are often used as sacrificial anodes in cathodic protection systems to prevent corrosion of metals such as steel in pipelines, ships, and water heaters. The zinc rod corrodes instead of the protected metal, extending its life.
Sacrificial anodes for cathodic protection of hulls, ship ballast water tanks, port engineering and marine engineering facilities, seawater cooling water systems, storage tank sedimentation water parts, buried pipelines, etc.
3.Casting and Alloy Production / Parts processing
Zinc rods can be melted down and used in casting processes to make various metal parts and components.
