Zinc-Nickel Plating
High-performance protection combining zinc and nickel benefits. This advanced coating offers superior corrosion resistance for automotive and aerospace applications where failure isn't an option.

Zinc-Nickel Plating Process
-
Surface Preparation
Components are cleaned, degreased, and activated to ensure a contamination-free surface. Proper preparation is critical to achieving the correct zinc-nickel alloy composition in the deposit.
-
Zinc-Nickel Electroplating
Parts are plated in an alkaline or acid zinc-nickel bath, depositing an alloy containing typically 12–15% nickel. This composition provides significantly superior corrosion resistance compared to standard zinc plating.
-
Passivation and Inspection
After plating, parts receive a trivalent chromate passivation treatment to further boost corrosion protection. Each part is inspected for alloy composition, coating thickness, and surface finish to meet automotive and aerospace standards.
