Zincrometal Coating Dacromet Application Zincromet Application Dryer Dryer Dacromet = Fine Zn Dust in Chromic Acid: Dries to a Zinc Chromate Zincromet = Zinc Powder in Epoxy
Epoxy Zincromet Dacromet Steel Current
Pre-Painted Steels Chromate, Phosphate, Phosphate-Chromate Surface Electro-Chemical treatment is dilute solutions provides an adherent coating for subsequent painting
Painted Steels Organic Paint Spray Laminated Film a. polyvinyl chloride b. Teflon, etc.
Zincrometal Epoxy Zincromet Dacromet Steel Current Takes Time for Coating “Burn Through” Higher Electrode Forces Reduced Electrode Life

Zinc Phosphate • Thin Coats for Paint Adhesion • Appear to have no effect on Spot Weldability • Thick Coats - “Parkerized or Bonderized” • High Resistivity • Need High pressure to Break Coating • Adverse effect on Electrode Life
Painted Steel Welding • Organic Coating • Heat Sensitive, Will Scorch or Burn • Electrical Insulators • Intended to be Used Without Post Weld Finishing • Film Coating • Film Tends to Separate From Sheet • Bubbles & Blisters • Solutions • Used One Side Coated Material • Provide Local Bare Areas
