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.

Zinc-based brazing filler metal recommendations (ZnAl5 / ZnAl15)
| Grade | Al content (%) | Solidus (°C) | Liquidus temperature (°C) | Recommended Brazing Temperature (°C) | Applicable base material |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ZnAl5 | 3-7 | 382 | 382 | 400-450 | Pure zinc, zinc alloy |
| ZnAl15 | 13-17 | 425 | 460 | 470-520 | Aluminum–aluminum, aluminum–copper |
* ZnAl5 is an eutectic brazing alloy with a constant melting temperature; ZnAl15 exhibits a broader melting range, making it suitable for filling gaps of varying thicknesses.
Comparison between ZnAl Coating and Pure Zinc Coating
| Performance Item | ZnAl alloy coating | Pure zinc coating |
|---|---|---|
| Salt Spray Resistance Time (h) | Better | Good |
| Coating density | More dense, with low porosity. | General |
| Cathodic protection lifespan | Longer | Medium |
| Environmental friendliness | Chrome-free and harmless | Chrome-free |
ZnAl alloy coatings outperform pure zinc coatings in corrosion resistance and overall protective performance, making them the mainstream choice for modern anti-corrosion coatings.
