The surface treatment process of metal fastener guide nail is a key step to enhance its corrosion resistance. In a variety of industrial application scenarios, guide nail fasteners are often exposed to harsh environments, such as moisture, high temperature, chemical corrosion, etc. Therefore, through effective surface treatment processes, the corrosion resistance of guide nails can be significantly improved and their service life can be extended.
Common surface treatment processes for metal fastener guide nails include galvanizing, phosphating, Dacromet (zinc-aluminum coating) and electroplating. These processes form a protective film on the surface of the fastener to isolate the metal matrix from the external environment, thereby preventing the corrosive medium from corroding the metal.
Galvanizing is a widely used surface treatment technology that deposits a layer of zinc metal on the surface of the fastener by electrochemical methods. This zinc film has good anti-corrosion properties, especially in a neutral salt spray environment. Phosphating treatment is to immerse the fastener in a phosphate solution to form a dense phosphate film, which not only improves the hardness of the metal surface, but also enhances its wear resistance and corrosion resistance.
The Dacromet process, also known as zinc-aluminum coating, forms an inorganic coating on the metal surface by applying a highly dispersed mixed aqueous solution containing zinc, aluminum and special organic matter. This coating has excellent corrosion resistance and can maintain the performance of fasteners for a long time in harsh environments.
Electroplating technology forms a metal coating layer on the surface of fasteners through electrochemical methods, such as nickel, chromium, etc. These metal coatings are not only beautiful, but also have extremely high corrosion resistance. In particular, electroplated chromium has a very stable coating in the atmosphere, is not easy to change color and lose gloss, has high hardness and good wear resistance.
In summary, the surface treatment process of metal fasteners guide nails effectively isolates the contact between the metal substrate and the corrosive medium by forming a protective layer, thereby significantly enhancing the corrosion resistance of the fasteners. These processes not only improve the service life of fasteners, but also ensure their stable performance in various harsh environments, providing reliable solutions for industrial production and assembly processes.
