ZN1346 wire made from a zinc-aluminium-cadmium alloy (wire made from Zn/AI/Cd alloy)

Zinc Aluminium Cadmium Alloy Wire Description

Zinc aluminium cadmium alloy is a material that demonstrates corrosion resistance and can be readily formed. In zinc alloys, the aluminium content affects castability, notch impact strength and additional properties; consequently, cadmium at specified concentrations exhibits measurable effects and remains inert at other levels.

Zinc Aluminium Cadmium Alloy Wire FAQs

Q1. For what purpose is zinc aluminium cadmium alloy wire (Zn-Al-Cd) used?

Zinc aluminium cadmium alloy wire is primarily employed in thermal spraying for the corrosion protection of steel structures such as bridges, pipelines and marine equipment. It is also utilised in battery manufacturing, the electronics industry and specific welding and soldering applications.

Q2. How is zinc aluminium cadmium alloy wire used in thermal spraying?

The wire is fed into a thermal spray gun, where it is melted by an electric arc, plasma or flame. The molten alloy is subsequently atomised and applied to the target surface, thereby forming a protective coating.

Q3. What advantages does the utilisation of zinc aluminium cadmium alloy wires have compared to pure metal wires?

Zinc aluminium cadmium alloy wire offers increased corrosion resistance and improved mechanical performance relative to pure metal wires. The inclusion of aluminium and cadmium quantitatively enhances the protective effect compared to using solely zinc or aluminium wires.
