The work it does
Coating work is ordered by standard call-out, and the price turns on weight, area, process and batch size.
Zinc plate to a standard
400 off brackets, mild steel, zinc plate to ISO 2081 Fe/Zn12/A, clear passivate
- Preset
- Surface treatment and metal finishing
- Runs
- Batch surface treatment service model
- Outcome
- Fe/Zn12/A decoded to 12 microns of zinc on steel, with the whole call-out kept verbatim.
High tensile screws
80 off cap screws, property class 12.9, zinc plate 8 microns. These are highly stressed.
- Preset
- Surface treatment and metal finishing
- Runs
- Coating and treatment selector
- Outcome
- Steered off electrolytic zinc towards zinc flake or mechanical plating, which are hydrogen free.
Tools stripped and recoated

Questions
- Yes. Barrel work is priced per kilogram and rack or spray work by area or part, each with a job minimum, on your rates.More on Batch surface treatment
- Yes. The coating selector steers high tensile parts away from electrolytic processes towards zinc flake or mechanical plating.More on Coating and treatment selector
- No. It recommends the process and captures the pricing drivers; coating is quoted per batch, never invented.More on Coating and treatment selector
- Yes. The preset adds a quality specification and a certification field to every customer record.
