Main benefits

Sherardizing is a thermal diffusion process, in which Zinc powder is vaporised and diffuses into the surface of components to form a sacrificial corrosion protective Zinc /Iron alloy coating.

Its main benefits are:

  • Long term sacrificial environmental protection
  • Uniform diffused zinc/iron alloy coating
  • Protection of irregularly shaped and recessed components
  • Relatively high degree of wear and abrasion resistance
  • No hydrogen embrittlement
  • Matt grey textured surface, suitable for the application of paint systems
  • Sacrificial
  • Relatively low processing temperature
  • Dry process suitable for sintered material

Further information about the Sherardizing process is available in a hardback book, to request your copy please email sales.bmc@bodycote.com
