Text Box: Zinc Nickel is used in a wide variety of applications and has the advantage of having it’s own inherent corrosion protection independent of chromate passivates. The use of passivates enhances the protection further. It also produces little or no hydrogen embrittlement in use, and when used in assemblies with other metals has a low risk of corrosion by galvanic action. It is widely specifies for under bonnet parts where they may be subject to heat, as the alloy has the advantage of retaining it’s corrosion resistance after heating to 200c. Amongst many other users are BMW and VW. It is also used as a suitable replacements for cadmium. Nickel is alloyed with zinc (11-15% nickel), to dramatically increase the protection afforded by zinc alone. This protection is further enhanced by the addition of black, yellow or clear passivate, the latter being Cr6 free. 2,000 hours to red rust in a neutral salt spray test can be achieved from a rack plating process, and even after heating to 200c in excess of 1,000 hours has resulted. Trenton Electroplating has large dedicated automatic lines for both rack and barrel plating on all materials. A full range of passivates, seals and lubricants are available.
