Corrosion-Controlled Surface Protection for Automotive Hardware
Fukar supports automotive manufacturers and tier suppliers with electroplating and coating processes designed for demanding corrosion, wear, and temperature conditions. Our Shah Alam facility provides zinc nickel plating, zinc plating, and Xylan fluoropolymer coating for critical automotive components and fasteners.
From underbody hardware to brake system fasteners, our processes are managed under ISO 9001:2015 quality systems and aligned to recognised standards such as ASTM B633 and ASTM B841 where applicable. This helps procurement and QA teams qualify a supplier with repeatable quality control and documented process discipline.
Explore our core process hub for automotive programs, including process selection based on substrate material, corrosion target, and operating environment.
Typical Automotive Use Cases
Components Commonly Treated
Brake & Safety Fasteners
High-corrosion-resistance plating for components exposed to heat, moisture, and road salts.
Chassis Hardware
Zinc-based coatings for underbody brackets, clips, and hardware requiring sacrificial protection.
Powertrain Fixings
Surface protection for engine and transmission-related fasteners in elevated temperature zones.
Specialty Coated Parts
Xylan fluoropolymer coating for low-friction and anti-seize performance on selected parts.
Recommended Processes
Automotive Process Options
Zinc Nickel Plating
Preferred for corrosion-critical automotive fasteners where higher salt spray and thermal performance are required.
- ASTM B841 reference
- Typically 12–15% nickel alloy
- 500+ hrs salt spray benchmark
Zinc Plating
Cost-effective sacrificial corrosion protection for general automotive hardware and mounting parts.
- ASTM B633 reference
- Blue, yellow, black finish options
- Suitable for high-volume production
Xylan Coating
Fluoropolymer coating for low-friction, anti-seize, and chemical resistance in selected automotive applications.
- Up to 260°C service range
- PPG & Whitford QAC capability
- Useful for anti-stick and low-friction needs
Selection Guide
Automotive Environment vs Process Fit
Choosing between zinc, zinc nickel, and fluoropolymer systems depends on target corrosion resistance, thermal profile, and component function.
Our team can review your drawing and performance requirement to recommend a suitable process pathway for validation and production.
Request Process Recommendation| Condition | Typical Requirement | Suggested Process |
|---|---|---|
| General underbody exposure | Cost-balanced sacrificial corrosion protection | Zinc Plating (ASTM B633) |
| High corrosion + temperature demand | Higher durability and extended salt spray performance | Zinc Nickel Plating (ASTM B841) |
| Anti-seize / low friction function | Controlled friction and non-stick behavior | Xylan Fluoropolymer Coating |
