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
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.
Improved wear resistance: The coating increases the surface hardness of the spring, enhancing its wear resistance and reducing abrasion.
Enhanced electrical conductivity: Certain metallic coatings can improve the electrical conductivity of the spring, making it suitable for electronic applications.
Improved appearance: The coating can alter the appearance of the spring, making it more aesthetically pleasing.
Excellent protection: The coating effectively protects the spring and significantly prolongs its lifespan.
Strong adhesion: The coating bonds tightly to the spring substrate and is not easy to peel off.
Simple process: The electrodeposition process is relatively simple and easy to operate.
Environmentally friendly: Compared to some traditional surface treatment methods, electrodeposition is more environmentally friendly.
