Zinc-Nickel Alloy
What is Zinc-Nickel Alloy Electroplating?
Zinc-Nickel alloy electroplating is a process where a layer of zinc-nickel alloy is deposited onto a metal substrate through electrolysis.
Team Plating Works can plate to any given specification upon request.
(ISO 15726, ASTM B841, AMS 2417 and beyond…)
Our Zinc-Nickel alloy plating has undergone multiple corrosion tests over the years and has achieved + 1000hrs before red rust consistantly.
This plating method extensively enhances corrosion resistance when compared to traditional Zinc or other metal electroplating, making it the go-to process for demanding environments found in the following Industries:
- Automotive
- Agricultural
- Aerospace
- Maritime
- and many other industries.
This electroplating method is the recognised replacement method for Cadmium electroplating.
Zinc-nickel coatings will last many times longer in a corrosive environment compared to standard zinc.
For many applications Zinc-Nickel alloy is far superior to zinc plating.
Why use Zinc-Nickel Alloy electroplating?
Zinc-Nickel electroplating is chosen for its superior corrosion resistance.
Particularly in demanding environments where traditional coatings will fail.
This plating technique extends the lifespan of metal components significantly, reducing the need for frequent replacements and maintenance.
Its ability to withstand corrosion in harsh conditions such as the automotive, marine and agricultural environments makes it a preferred choice for many applications.
Zinc-Nickel electroplating provides a more uniform coating thickness which ensures consistent protection across the entire surface of the plated part.
It has excellent adhesion to the substrate further enhancing its durability and reliability.
Zinc-Nickel electroplating is considered more environmentally friendly compared to some other plating methods, making it a sustainable option for industries aiming to reduce their environmental footprint.
