In recent years, zinc-nickel coatings have gained increasing attention due to their exceptional corrosion resistance and are widely used in industries such as automotive, marine, aerospace, and defense. These coatings are commonly applied to components like fuel lines, fasteners, coaxial cables, connectors, and steel parts that join aluminum. Zinc-nickel coatings offer high electrical conductivity and excellent performance in harsh environments, acting as a protective barrier against corrosion.
The properties of zinc-nickel coatings depend on their thickness and composition, typically containing 10–15% nickel and 90–85% zinc. Controlling these factors ensures that the coated parts meet functional requirements while minimizing operational costs. The corrosion resistance of zinc-nickel coatings is significantly higher than that of traditional galvanized layers. Coatings with 10% or less nickel have easier passivation and show more than three times the corrosion resistance of a galvanized layer of the same thickness. Meanwhile, coatings with around 13% nickel, although harder to passivate, offer the highest corrosion resistance—more than five times that of a galvanized layer of similar thickness.
Handheld X-ray fluorescence (XRF) spectrometers provide accurate and repeatable results for analyzing zinc-nickel coatings on iron substrates. The S1 TITAN Handheld Spectrometer is an ideal tool for in-process inspection, process control, and quality assurance. Its user-friendly design allows for quick and efficient testing, making it suitable for both field and lab environments.
The S1 TITAN features a simple "align and measure" operation, requiring minimal training. It has an intuitive, large-icon interface that makes it easy for operators to use. The spectrometer includes an anti-stick detector to protect the X-ray tube and probe when testing small or sharp objects. It is also dustproof, waterproof, and heat-resistant, ensuring durability in various working conditions.
The device allows users to customize the display mode of test results, including alloy grades, elemental composition, pass/fail notifications, and element prioritization. This helps in making quick decisions on whether a component meets specifications or if adjustments to the plating process are needed. The S1 TITAN comes with a pre-installed comprehensive brand library that can be customized, offering flexibility for different applications.
Additionally, it features an optional camera for precise positioning during measurements and a sleek, professional design. Its compact size and lightweight make it easy to carry and use in the field. Whether you're conducting bath analysis or checking component quality, the S1 TITAN delivers reliable, fast, and accurate results, helping to boost productivity and reduce costs.
