Zinc Nickel

Zinc Nickel – Zinc Nickel Plating provides over 1000 hours of salt spray protection. Our RoHS Compliant Zinc Nickel offers ten times the protection of zinc and five times that of cadmium plating. Today in the industrial finishing industry there are higher quality standards and requirements for corrosion.

These new standards and requirements for corrosion exceed limitations of traditionally used finishes of conventional zinc and cadmium. We offer an alternative – our Zinc Nickel Process. This process outperforms conventional zinc plating, producing a zinc-nickel alloy, it corrodes more slowly than conventional zinc. This protects the base metal for a longer period of time. Chromating produces a zinc nickel alloy chromate film that is rich in nickel, which adds to increasing the corrosion resistance of the durable zinc nickel base 5 times (versus only two times for chromating conventional zinc).

The coating has increased wear and abrasion resistance while resisting zinc whiskering. SDE has extensive capabilities to process high production runs making this finish cost effective while maintaining the highest quality standards and achieving outstanding coating performance.
