    Zinc Nickel Plating

    Zinc nickel is an alloy coating containing 12-15% nickel that provides sacrificial corrosion protection to steel substrates. It can be applied through acid or alkaline solutions, with alkaline being more commonly used as it is easier to control and produces a more consistent alloy thickness than acid solutions. Zinc nickel resists corrosion even if cracks form in the coating from metal movement and maintains protection after heating to 120°C, making it suitable for auto parts that see high temperatures and stresses. It is specified by many automakers as a replacement for cadmium in applications such as fasteners and hoses.

    Zinc Nickel

    Widely used by industry in general, and automotive manufacturers in


    particular, zinc nickel gives sacrificial protection to the underlying iron or
    steel, that is the zinc corrodes in preference to the substrate. This has the
    additional benefit that steel exposed at cut or abraded areas will not easily
    rust.
    This coating can be produced from acid or alkali solutions, the most
    popular now becoming the alkali as it is easier to control, is more ductile,
    gives a more consistent alloy and more even thickness than the acid
    solution.
    The alkaline solution used gives nickel content of 12-15%. It has been
    shown that this range of concentrated nickel gives better corrosion
    performance than other solutions. This type of solution is used by the
    Anochrome Group.

    The coating is specifically useful for:

    The Group is a major supplier of barrel and rack plated parts in this finish.
    The ELV (End of Live Vehicle ) Directive has also affected this finish such
    that hexavalent passivates are declining in use and are being replaced by
    trivalent passivates or organic top coats for black finishes.
    Zinc-nickel (12-15% nickel) 8 m thickness. Neutral salt spray
    performance:

    a) Fine threads.
    b) Hose ends, etc. that are crimped after electro plating.
    c) Pipe brackets that are reformed after electro plating.
    d) It has been proved to be good in contact with aluminium and is
    used as a cadmium replacement in many applications.
    The coating is a matt silver in colour when supplied with a trivalent clear
    passivate, or a iridescant blue/yellow when supplied with a heavyweight
    passivate. Zinc nickel with a black passivate is not normally a deep pure
    black colour and can be enhanced by the addition of an organic top coat.

    passivate to satisfy a number of specifications.

    The coating is suitable for parts that are formed or crimped after plating,
    the zinc nickel giving good corrosion protection (sacrificial) even if
    forming is severe enough to cause cracking of the deposit.
    The zinc-nickel coating, with passivate, has better heat resistance than
    other passivate coatings, giving no real reduction in protection even after

    Many automobile companies specify zinc nickel, such as:- Toyota,Opel,


    Audi VW, Honda, BMW, Nissan, Ford, JLR.

    heating to 120C. This ensures that use in engine bays and in contact
    with hot oil does not reduce corrosion resistance.
    When a silver coating is required, enhanced corrosion resistance can be
    obtained by using the seals or lacquers.
    The zinc nickel solution used has the following advantages over zinc
    electro plating.
    1. Higher corrosion resistance (at least double that for the same
    thickness).
    2. Good temperature stability. Not significantly affected by
    temperatures of 120C.
    3. Good ductility and also good sacrificial protection if cracks in the
    coating occur due to excessive metal movement.
