Zinc
Zinc-Nickel Plating is an electrolytic process that deposits a “sacrificial” coating composited of both zinc and nickel. This Zinc Nickel layer is often described as sacrificial because the purpose of this layer is to corrode before the substrate alloy, therefore protecting it. Zinc Nickel plating offers great corrosion protection as well as increased wear and abrasion resistance. Typically, the higher the nickel content make up, the better it will resist corrosion, up to 15% nickel. Zinc Nickel is most commonly finished on steel but may also be applied to iron, copper, and brass as well.
Paramount Metal Finishing owns some of the largest Zinc Nickel tanks in the industry measuring at 12 x 5 feet and a weight capacity of 1500 pounds. Currently, Paramount offers Zinc Nickel finishes to ASTM-B841 and AMS-2417.
Post Chromates, Passivation, Paint, and Non Chromate coatings are available in combination with Zinc Nickel finishes as well. Please contact our sales team for more information regarding our Zinc and Zinc-Nickel finishes.
