Zinc Plating / Alloys

Zinc-Nickel Alloys

Zinc alloy with 10–15% nickel. Greater resistance to corrosion and thermal shock than conventional zinc plating.

Description

Zinc-Nickel Alloys are surface treatments applied by electrodeposition, developed to create a zinc coating alloyed with nickel on metal parts. This system offers superior corrosion protection compared with conventional zinc plating and is especially suitable for components that require high performance, stability, and compliance with demanding technical specifications.

The Zn/Ni alloy contains 10 to 15% nickel, making it possible to achieve a durable, uniform layer compatible with clear and black hexavalent chromium-free passivation. This combination improves coating durability and provides a technical finish suitable for industrial applications where protection, appearance, and treatment reliability are key factors.

Its anti-corrosion performance reaches up to 200 hours without white corrosion and 720 hours without red corrosion in ASTM B117 salt spray testing after a 1-hour thermal shock at 200°C. It also complies with reference specifications from the automotive industry such as Peugeot, Mercedes-Benz, General Motors, Volkswagen, and Ford, making it a high-demand solution for metal parts exposed to critical conditions.
