Lead-free zinc ED plating: Strong, practical clarification

Summary for lead-free zinc ed plating Discussion

Lead-free zinc ED plating is the focus of this thread, where Terence Wong asks whether a process is available in Singapore or Malaysia for automotive accessories made from DIN EN 10149-2 S460MC galvannealed structural steel, and what the term means. He also specifies a salt spray requirement of ASTM B117-2003 for 72 hours without base metal corrosion. The only answer, from a contributor in Bengaluru, Karnataka, India, interprets the request as "Lead Free CED" applied over galvanised zinc-coated steel and says the 72-hour salt spray requirement could easily be achieved. No specific supplier, local availability, or detailed process description is provided in the excerpt, so the discussion mainly clarifies the likely meaning of the coating specification and suggests the corrosion target is not especially demanding for such a system.

A. I would read this as ” Lead Free CED

⇦ huh? Coating to be applied over galvanised zinc coated steel”. The corrosion coating requirement of 72 hours SST could easily be achieved.
