Zinc Coated Brake Rotors

After over 3 months of driving the vehicle outside doing a spray test with 5 nacl solution or 5 s.

Zinc coated brake rotors.

Premium brake rotors in the uk or europe. For a more in depth look at coated brake rotors check out the video below. The final result is a thick protective coating that will help prevent rusting and give you a great custom look. However due to certain castings the zinc coating may not adhere to small areas of some rotors.

The cross drilled brake rotors are sold in pairs and come zinc coated in either black or silver to help prevent rusting and give you a performance race look. That s why the coating on acdelco silver advantage coated brake rotors contains zinc and aluminum which naturally attract corrosive reactions more than iron helping to protect the rotor underneath. Brake rotors are regularly exposed to water salt and other corrosive elements. Rotor corrosion comparison test result is finally here.

This leaves you with a very ugly looking rotor. An example of course is in the automotive industry. Thermic black coated discs are being phased in. Outside these sources where castings or finished rotors have to be bought in to complement the range.

The coating that remains will continue to protect the hub vanes on vented discs and rotor edges. The zinc coating will serve as a protective barrier before rust reaches the metal it will have to deal with its zinc protection first. As stocks rotate you will no longer receive zinc coated discs you will receive black ones. Wherever the brake pad sweeps the rotor area the coating will be removed by the normal operation of the disc brake system.

Numerous industries now actually make use of zinc electroplating in order to further enhance the potential of their products. As brake rotors are made of iron they naturally rust and when exposed to minerals such as salt the rusting oxidization tends to speed up. Naturally companies started looking at ways to mitigate rusting of the rotors. These rotors are made from aluminum and have a zinc coating to protect against rust and extend their operating window.

Each performance brake rotor is immersed in different solution tanks during the coating process.
