Typical Surface Treatment
Coating | Coating thickness | Salt spray test | PCT test | Glue performance | Characteristic |
NiCuNi coating | 10~30μm | 48hrs | 96hrs | Not good | Non-conductive, with excellent resistance to salty, heat and humidity. But with uneven coating thickness for complex magnets |
Zn coating (with blue passivation) | 5~10μm | 24hrs | 24hrs | Good | Non-conductive, with normal resistance to salty and heat. Low cost |
Zn coating (with color passivation) | 5~10μm | 72hrs | 24hrs | Good | Non-conductive, with excellent resistance to salty and heat. |
Expoxy coating | 5~10μm | 48hrs | 96hrs | Good | With excellent waterproof, anti-chemical erosion, and adhesion strength, and have sufficient hardness, especially with minimum water absorption and permeability. But with weak abrasion performance and anti-scratch resistance, low heat-resistance. |
Chemical Ni coating | 20~30μm | 72hrs | 96hrs | Not good | With compact coating structure, thickness uniformity, high hardness and corrosion resistance, little effect on the magnetic properties |
Phosphated | 2~3μm | \ | \ | Better | Temporary protection of the magnets |
