ZnCo is a zinc-cobalt binary intermetallic alloy combining the properties of both base metals. It is used primarily in electroplating applications, magnetic coatings, and wear-resistant surface treatments where the combination of corrosion resistance and hardening characteristics is valued. The alloy is notable for its ability to provide enhanced surface protection compared to pure zinc or cobalt alone, making it a preferred choice in automotive and industrial coating systems.
