Torsion Spring/ED Coating

Electrodeposition(ED) of Torsion Springs

Electrodeposition(ED) is a surface treatment technique in which a torsion spring is placed in an electrolytic solution. Through the process of electrolysis, a dense metallic coating—usually zinc or other metals—is formed on the surface of the spring. This coating not only effectively protects the spring but also enhances its performance.

Torsion Spring - Electrodeposited Surface(ED)
There are nearly ten color options available for electrodeposited torsion springs.

A torsion spring is subjected to an axial load in the form of torque or torsional force. When a load is applied, the ends of the spring rotate through a certain angle.


Advantages of Electrodeposition for Torsion Springs

  1. Corrosion and rust resistance: The coating isolates the spring from the external environment, preventing oxidation and corrosion, thus extending the service life of the spring.

  2. Improved wear resistance: The coating increases the surface hardness of the spring, enhancing its wear resistance and reducing abrasion.

  3. Enhanced electrical conductivity: Certain metallic coatings can improve the electrical conductivity of the spring, making it suitable for electronic applications.

  4. Improved appearance: The coating can alter the appearance of the spring, making it more aesthetically pleasing.

  5. Excellent protection: The coating effectively protects the spring and significantly prolongs its lifespan.

  6. Strong adhesion: The coating bonds tightly to the spring substrate and is not easy to peel off.

  7. Simple process: The electrodeposition process is relatively simple and easy to operate.

  8. Environmentally friendly: Compared to some traditional surface treatment methods, electrodeposition is more environmentally friendly.
