Zinc Electroplating
Protect and enhance your metal components with PowerBrace’s fully automated zinc electroplating line. Designed for industrial-grade performance, our system offers bright zinc coatings that meet ASTM B633 specifications. We have extra large plates ideal for large-scale components in industries such as telecommunications, defense, transportation, and agriculture.
Zinc electroplating serves as a highly effective barrier against corrosion, oxidation, and surface wear. The bright finish also adds aesthetic appeal for consumer-facing or branded parts. Our automated line ensures consistency in coating thickness and uniform coverage, eliminating manual variability and ensuring traceable, high-volume output. Whether you need enhanced electrical conductivity or a finished appearance that stands up to the elements, PowerBrace delivers results that perform.

How Our Zinc Electroplating Process Works
PowerBrace’s zinc electroplating process begins with surface preparation and cleaning to ensure optimal adhesion. Parts are then routed through our fully automated acid zinc plating line, applying a bright zinc coating that meets ASTM B633 specifications. Automated controls maintain consistent coating thickness and coverage across every part.
Finished components are inspected, documented, and prepared for shipment or downstream assembly.

Zinc Electroplating - FAQs
What is zinc electroplating used for?
Zinc electroplating protects steel components from corrosion, oxidation, and surface wear while improving appearance and conductivity.
Does your zinc plating meet industry standards?
Yes. Our automated line meets ASTM B633 specifications for consistent, traceable industrial coatings.
Can you plate large or oversized components?
Yes. PowerBrace specializes in extra-large parts, up to 10' x 5' x 17', making us ideal for telecom, defense, agriculture, and infrastructure components.
Why choose automated zinc electroplating over manual plating?
Automation ensures uniform coating thickness, repeatability, and efficiency, eliminating human variability—critical for high-volume programs.
Is zinc plating suitable for outdoor environments?
Absolutely. Zinc acts as a sacrificial coating, protecting steel in humid outdoor conditions. – Zinc Plating would be the recommended solution for humidity and galvanizing for heavy moisture and corrosive conditions.
Can plating be integrated with fabrication or welding projects?
Yes. We frequently plate parts that are laser cut, welded, or machined in-house for a streamlined supply chain.
