A compact “galvanizer” should cost about 10-15 thousand rubles. It consists of a power source, a special clamp and a handle that supplies electrolyte to the sinking tip. Using the device, it is possible to apply a zinc layer with a thickness of about 35 micrometers on metal parts that have been cleaned of corrosion.
Simply put, the owner of the car must clean the rust-affected parts of the body, then work with the device created by Perm scientists, then apply a layer of putty (if any) and paint the repair site.
We would add that the electrochemical method is really the best way to protect metal from rust, as zinc is a very effective protector. Therefore, car manufacturers are trying to stamp the body of galvanized steel.
However, the specialists of the Perm Polytechnic University apparently do not know that portable “zinc coaters” have been successfully presented on the market for a long time. In addition, it is really possible to buy such a device, as well as a set of consumables for only 1000 rubles …
In general, rusty insects begin to appear on many cars in leaps and bounds in spring and summer. It is under the influence of reagents and an abundance of winter moisture that in the fall untreated chips and scratches begin to “bloom”. How to beat corrosion? Can rust stains be removed without painting? The AvtoVzglyad portal offers a number of folk methods of eliminating the “brown plague”.
