Zinc Coated Brake Rotors

An example of course is in the automotive industry.

Zinc coated brake rotors.

Rotor corrosion comparison test result is finally here. One way was to apply a coating to prevent rust. The final result is a thick protective coating that will help prevent rusting and give you a great custom look. Each performance brake rotor is immersed in different solution tanks during the coating process.

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

Wagner s budget brake rotors are coated for corrosion and rust. For a more in depth look at coated brake rotors check out the video below. Premium brake rotors in the uk or europe. Wherever the brake pad sweeps the rotor area the coating will be removed by the normal operation of the disc brake system.

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. This leaves you with a very ugly looking rotor. 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.

Brake rotors are regularly exposed to water salt and other corrosive elements. These rotors are guaranteed to fit original equipment manufacturer specs without modification and are machined balanced with a double disk smooth surface ground finish to reduce noise. As stocks rotate you will no longer receive zinc coated discs you will receive black ones. Outside these sources where castings or finished rotors have to be bought in to complement the range.

However due to certain castings the zinc coating may not adhere to small areas of some rotors.
