Historically, "b" passivation used hexavalent chromium (Cr VI). Due to EU RoHS and ELV directives, most modern Fe Zn 8b coatings use trivalent chromium (Cr III) . The corrosion resistance is similar, but the color is slightly less iridescent. Always clarify with your plater if hex-free is mandatory.
is a specific German standard designation for a electroplated zinc coating applied to iron or steel components to prevent corrosion. This technical specification dictates the substrate, the coating metal, the minimum layer thickness, and the subsequent chromate conversion treatment required for the part.
is a German Institute for Standardization standard for electroplated zinc coatings on iron and steel materials. While the standard has been largely superseded by international standards like ISO 2081, it remains deeply embedded in legacy engineering drawings and European industrial specifications. The Breakdown of "Fe//Zn 8B"
8 to 24 hours (corrosion of the zinc passivation layer itself).
