Zinc galvanising
Galvanising protects metal wheel rims for agricultural and industrial vehicles against corrosion, extends their life and improves resistance to mechanical stress. Less maintenance and replacement makes it an economical choice. Hot-dip galvanising The steel is dipped in molten zinc at about 450 °C. Zinc and steel form zinc-iron alloys covered by a strongly adhering layer […]
