Zinc-Nickel ElectroplatingZinc-Nickel electroplating is an acid coating that is used in the protection of steel, cast iron, malleable iron, copper, and brass. Zinc-Nickel has become an environmentally safe alternative to cadmium electroplating. Zinc-Nickel demonstrates equivalent, or better, corrosion properties when compared to cadmium. Zinc-Nickel is normally applied for corrosion purposes, and functions as a "sacrificial coating", corroding before the base material. To increase the corrosion protection, Chem Processing Inc. offers a RoHS compliant clear and black trivalent chromate seal. Zinc-Nickel is an efficient economical coating, with minimal environmental impact. Chem Processing Inc. Zinc Plating Capabilities:- Plating Thickness Range of 0.0002 to 0.0010 in.
