Zinc-aluminum alloy powder · Zn-Al alloy powder
Chrome-free Dacromet coating · Powder zinc impregnation · Specialized for zinc-based brazing alloys ZnAl5 ~ ZnAl50 · -100 mesh to -400 mesh

Zinc–aluminum alloy powder is the core raw material for producing environmentally friendly, highly corrosion‑resistant coatings (chromium‑free Dacromet coatings), and it also serves as an essential component in powder zinc‑diffusion processes and zinc‑based brazing alloys. Prepared by non‑vacuum atomization, it boasts high alloying purity, excellent sphericity, and a controllable particle size distribution. We offer grades ZnAl5, ZnAl10, ZnAl15, ZnAl20, ZnAl30, ZnAl40, and ZnAl50—covering a broad range of aluminum content—and provide particle sizes ranging from -100 mesh to -400 mesh. Custom compositions and particle sizes can be tailored to meet specific customer requirements. This product is widely used in anti‑corrosion coatings for steel structures (railways, bridges, automobiles, ships), as well as in zinc–aluminum‑based brazing alloys and powder zinc‑diffusion applications. Our core technical team originates from the Powder Metallurgy Research Institute at Central South University.

Zinc-aluminum alloy powder: functional zinc–aluminum-based alloy powder

Zinc–aluminum alloy powder is an important functional powder material within the zinc–aluminum binary alloy system. Using a non‑vacuum gas atomization process, high‑purity zinc and aluminum ingots are melted and atomized under inert gas protection, yielding alloy powders with uniform composition, excellent sphericity, and controllable particle size. The product range encompasses seven standard grades, from ZnAl5 to ZnAl50, covering a broad aluminum content spectrum to meet the requirements of diverse application scenarios. It is widely used in:

  • Chrome-free Dacromet coating — An environmentally friendly, highly corrosion‑resistant zinc‑aluminum coating (using flake‑type zinc‑aluminum powder as the raw material), serving as an alternative to conventional chromate passivation;
  • Powder zinc diffusion — Zinc‑diffusion coating for corrosion protection of steel structural components, used in railways, bridges, automobiles, ships, and other sectors;
  • Zinc-based brazing filler metal — ZnAl5 eutectic brazing filler metal is used for brazing pure zinc and zinc alloys; ZnAl15 is suitable for general-purpose brazing of aluminum–aluminum and aluminum–copper joints, offering excellent wettability and superior mechanical properties.
