against absplittern, abblaettern and cracking bestaendige, mechanical galvanising coating produced.

摘要

Chipping, flaking, and cracking of mechanical galvanizing coatings applied on metal substrates is prevented by interposing between successive layers of plating metal, which are used in galvanizing the metal substrate, a layer of cushioning metal. Each interposed layer of cushioning metal imparts malleability to the coating such that chipping, cracking, and flaking is prevented or substantially reduced. The plating metal is preferably zinc, while the cushioning metal is preferably tin, lead, or mixtures thereof.
