Marine Industry
- The marine industry involves producing boats, ships, and related equipment, requiring highly corrosion-resistant materials in saltwater environments.
- High corrosion resistance (e.g., in saltwater environments), good mechanical strength (e.g., tensile strength > 300 MPa), and electrochemical properties for sacrificial anodes.
- Zinc alloys are crucial in this industry for their exceptional corrosion resistance in saltwater environments.
- Zinc alloys are applied in the marine sector to cast ship hardware components (such as fittings and fasteners), which can be produced using die-casting or gravity-casting processes.
