Flux
Proper surface preparation in hot-dip galvanizing is essential for coating adhesion and efficient process execution. The flux bath applied after pretreatments such as degreasing and pickling is one of the fundamental stages of the pre-galvanizing preparation process.
As MFI Makina Kimya, we manufacture liquid flux in-house and evaluate product specifications based on user requirements. Since flux composition and bath conditions directly affect zinc consumption, coating results, and the formation of by-products such as ash and dross, they require regular monitoring.
We evaluate parameters such as iron content, density, and bath balance in existing flux baths in conjunction with operating conditions. We also assess our bath recovery services based on the current state of the bath. Operating parameters and application methods should be determined in accordance with the current technical data of the selected product.
Our Scope of Products and Services
Flux Management in the Galvanizing Process
Flux management does not merely consist of adding product to the bath. Monitoring composition, iron content, and density supports the control of zinc consumption and by-product generation. For consistent results in production, surface preparation and the flux bath must be evaluated together.
Liquid Flux Production
With our in-house production, we offer flux solutions tailored to user needs. Product selection is carried out by jointly evaluating the conditions of the galvanizing line and the expected coating result.
Iron Content and Density Monitoring
Increasing iron content and changing density in the flux bath can impact process results. Bath analyses and operating conditions are evaluated together to plan the necessary monitoring and adjustments.
Zinc Consumption and By-Product Control
An optimal flux composition and controlled bath conditions support the management of zinc consumption. The formation of ash, dross, and other by-products must be evaluated in conjunction with surface preparation and the galvanizing process.
Bath Recovery
We address recovery needs for existing flux baths based on the bath's condition and analytical results. The appropriate method and scope of intervention are determined following a technical evaluation.
Our Application Approach
We determine the appropriate flux solution by examining existing line and bath conditions. We approach product selection, bath monitoring, and, when necessary, recovery evaluation within a unified process framework.
Line and Bath Analysis
Surface preparation, existing flux composition, iron content, density, and production requirements are examined comprehensively.
Product and Operating Conditions
The appropriate liquid flux option and operating conditions are evaluated based on line characteristics and up-to-date technical data.
Bath Monitoring
Iron content, density, and bath balance are monitored; required adjustments are addressed alongside analytical data.
Outcome and Recovery
Coating results, zinc consumption, and by-product formation are evaluated; bath recovery is planned when necessary.
