Metallizing equipment co supplies o ffers a new aluminium?zinc-magnesium wire coating, 125t ankor 5, for corrosion protection developed by its principal, metallisation ltd, uk. Corrosion is the biggest challenge to the industry which estimates estimated to cause losses to the tune of rs 24,000 crore annually, of which 25% can be saved through corrosion control. The application of thermally sprayed zinc, aluminium coatings are regularly applied over steel structures and they providesoffer corrosion protection for period`s up to 30 ? 35 years. This wire coating is much better than the galvanised or painted surfaces. Most corrosion protection measures to operate either by cathodic protection or by creating a passive layer on the surface to be protected. Some of the hardware features of 125t ankor 5 wire coating include;is capable of providing both; a passive barrier layer and a galvanically active protective layer which can extend the life of coating upto 3 times over pure metals and approximately 20% over the conventional alloy compositions. This wire coating is applicable can be used in any situation where zinc?aluminium alloy would be specified. As a replacement for damaged galvanium layers in erw tubing, this wire coating is very it is particularly beneficial as a replacement for damaged galvanium layers in erw tubing. To consider protection of critical elements manufactured in simple steels,tthe extended life with ankor5 gives designers the opportunity to consider protection of critical elements manufactured in simple steels, where previously stainless steels or exotic alloys may have been necessary. There is considerable saving in rraw material and fabrication costs are saved considerably.
