Din 509e06x02 Exclusive May 2026
Architectural hardware and visible automotive suspension parts require zero gloss variation. Exclusive X02 processes utilize computer-controlled current density to ensure that a 6µm coating looks identical on a flat washer and a deep recessed hole—something standard barrel plating cannot achieve.
For junction boxes on oil rigs (Zone 2 hazardous areas), M6 screws require 240+ hours of salt spray but cannot have thick zinc (which would crack due to vibration). The exclusive X02's flexible ceramic-polymer hybrid solves this. din 509e06x02 exclusive
In many inventory systems, part numbers are jumbled. Current designation example: Fe/Zn 6c Fe = steel
Magnetic speed sensors require non-magnetic, uniform coatings. The exclusive X02 passivation prevents "edge pull" (excess buildup on corners) which would alter the magnetic air gap. You will find this code on OEM camshaft position sensor brackets. but a precise electroplating bath process
| Old DIN | Current ISO/EN | Notes | |---------|----------------|-------| | DIN 509E06X02 | ISO 2081 – Fe/Zn 6 / C (blue) | C = chromate passivation, blue | | Thickness 6 µm | Now often 5 or 8 µm standard | 6 µm is less common now | | X = single layer | Implicit in ISO 2081 | No undercoat |
Current designation example: Fe/Zn 6c
Fe = steel substrate, Zn = zinc, 6 = 6 µm, c = chromate (blue)
The letter E stands for Electrolytically applied (galvanic). This confirms that the coating is not mechanical (zinc flake) or hot-dip, but a precise electroplating bath process, offering superior uniformity on complex geometries.
