Zinc applications

Industrial Chemistry

Metallic zinc is in demand as a reductant for the precious metals gold and silver by the in-situ leaching method. This metal serves to extract gold and silver from rough lead in the form of zinc intermetallides - "silver froth" - which are further processed by the conventional refining method.

Galvanizing

The most important means of corrosion protection is the deposition of thin films of resistant corrosion-resistant metals on the surface of cast iron and steel. Among all metal coatings, zinc coatings lead in scale and importance. About 40% of all zinc produced worldwide is used for protective coatings. Such coatings tend to be more reliable than others because zinc doesn't just mechanically protect iron from external influences, but chemically protects it. Nickel, cobalt, tin, cadmium and other metals used to protect iron from corrosion are chemically inferior to it, which means that chemically they are more resistant than iron. By contrast, chromium and zinc are more reactive than iron. Zinc is the most active in this list, so when paired with iron, it is the first to react with aggressive environmental constituents.

Alloys

  • Alloy TsV00 is used to produce chemically pure reagents used in the electrical industry and for scientific purposes.
  • TsV0 grade is used in automotive and printing industries.
  • Zinc is used for die-casting of critical parts in aircraft engineering and instrument-making; it is also used in production of zinc oxide for chemical-pharmaceutical industry. It is used to produce chemically pure reagents and zinc powder for battery production.
  • Z0A alloy is used for making hot- and cold-rolled products, sheets that are used in electroplating, as well as die-cast critical parts in aircraft construction and instrumentation.
