Bright Zinc Plated Fasteners and Precision Components
We manufacture custom fasteners and precision-engineered components with high-quality bright zinc plated finishes. Suitable for bolts, studs, threaded parts, CNC-turned components and bespoke fixings, zinc plating provides cost-effective corrosion protection while creating a clean, bright appearance. Every component is manufactured and finished to your drawings, coating requirements and application specifications.
Whether you require zinc-plated special fasteners, bespoke threaded components, or complex CNC-turned parts, we deliver finishes tailored to your exact specification.
What Is Bright Zinc Plating?
Bright zinc plating is an electrodeposition process in which a thin layer of zinc is applied to metal parts. The coating acts as a sacrificial barrier: the zinc corrodes in preference to the steel, significantly increasing the service life of the component even in challenging environments.
We offer:
- Clear / blue-bright zinc plating
- Yellow zinc passivation (optional)
- Controlled coating thicknesses to suit mechanical and dimensional requirements
- High-quality surface preparation for consistent visual and functional performance
The result is a clean, bright finish that improves both aesthetic appeal and corrosion protection.
Why Choose Zinc Plating for Custom Fasteners & Components?
- Superior Corrosion ResistanceZinc coatings provide reliable protection for steel components, making them ideal for outdoor, automotive, construction, and industrial applications where rust prevention is essential.
- Cost-Effective ProtectionCompared to alternative coatings, zinc plating delivers an excellent balance between performance and affordability, especially for large batches of special fasteners.
- Enhanced AppearanceClear zinc produces a bright silver/blue finish that improves the look of machined parts—ideal when appearance matters as much as durability.
- Versatile Across Component TypesWe routinely supply zinc-plated bolts, nuts, studs, fixings, CNC-turned parts, inserts, and other bespoke precision components, manufactured to drawing or sample.
Zinc-Plated Custom Fasteners Made to Order
With over 30 years of expertise, Pattern Fasteners specialises in producing non-standard fasteners and precision components with the exact plating specification you require. We support:
