How Zinc Plating Protects Your Manufactured Parts

October 28, 2025

When it comes to protecting metal parts from corrosion, wear, and environmental damage, zinc plating stands out as one of the most efficient and economical metal finishing solutions available. At Bass Plating Co., we’ve been perfecting this process since 1950—bringing both precision and scale to every project we handle.

What Is Zinc Plating?

Zinc plating is a metal finishing process where a thin layer of zinc is electrolytically deposited onto the surface of a metal part. This zinc coating serves as a sacrificial barrier, meaning it corrodes before the underlying metal does—extending the life of the component.


Beyond corrosion resistance, zinc plating also improves the durability, wear resistance, and appearance of industrial parts. It’s a go-to solution for manufacturers in industries ranging from automotive and construction to agriculture and heavy equipment.
