Quantity
Zn-Ni XYLAN 1014 Stud Bolt is manufactured from high-strength alloy steel and paired with heavy hex nuts, specifically designed for heavy-duty applications in petrochemical and energy industries. Standard specifications include 1 1/2-inch diameter and 180mm length, featuring a zinc-nickel base layer (12-15% Ni, 1200-hour salt spray protection) combined with XYLAN 1014 blue polyurethane coating (chemical-resistant, high-temperature resistant, self-lubricating) for superior corrosion protection and ease of assembly. Zn-Ni XYLAN 1014 Stud Bolt serves as a high-performance upgrade over traditional zinc-plated bolts, ideal for demanding industrial environments.
Zn-Ni XYLAN 1014 Stud Bolt – Zinc-Nickel Base Layer (Zn-Ni, 12-15% Ni) Characteristics
1. Composition & Structural Properties
The zinc-nickel (Zn-Ni) base layer of Zn-Ni XYLAN 1014 Stud Bolt is a high-performance anti-corrosion coating widely used in critical sectors such as automotive, aerospace, and marine engineering. Its core advantage lies in precise nickel content control and the formation of a γ-phase (ZnNi) single-phase structure.

1.1 Optimized Nickel Content (12-15%)
The performance of Zn-Ni XYLAN 1014 Stud Bolt's zinc-nickel alloy heavily depends on the precise nickel ratio. Research shows that a nickel content of 12-15% enables the formation of a γ-phase (ZnNi) structure, which delivers optimal corrosion resistance, mechanical properties, and electrochemical protection.

Benefits of 12-15% Ni Optimization:
- Forms a dense γ-phase monolayer with low porosity (<1%), significantly enhancing salt spray resistance (1000+ hours without red rust).
- Moderate hardness (300-350 HV) balances wear resistance and avoids brittle fracture, making it suitable for high-precision fasteners (e.g., ISO 898-1 Grade 10.9 bolts).

- Sacrificial Anode Effect:
- Zn-Ni’s corrosion potential (-0.8 to -1.0V vs. SCE) is more negative than steel (-0.6V), ensuring preferential corrosion at coating defects to protect the substrate (reaction: Zn → Zn²⁺ + 2e⁻).

- Tests confirm a 95% current efficiency for 12% Ni coating, far exceeding pure zinc (~60%), guaranteeing long-term electrochemical protection.
- Passive Film Protection:
- Initial corrosion forms a dense ZnO/Zn(OH)₂/NiO mixed passive film, slowing further degradation.
- In Cl⁻-rich environments (e.g., salt spray), the γ-phase structure resists pitting 60% longer than pure zinc.
