Zinc Nickel Plating
Why is Zinc Nickel Electroplating Used on Parts for Rubber to Metal Bonding?
Zinc-nickel electroplating is commonly used on parts for rubber to metal bonding due to its excellent corrosion resistance and compatibility with rubber adhesion. Here are a few reasons why zinc-nickel electroplating is favored in such applications: Corrosion Resistance: Zinc-nickel alloy coatings offer superior corrosion resistance compared to other plating options like pure zinc or cadmium.…
Read MoreWhat Makes Zinc Nickel Electroplating Different?
Zinc nickel electroplating is a specialized electroplating process that involves depositing a coating of zinc-nickel alloy onto a metal surface. The primary difference between zinc-nickel electroplating and traditional zinc electroplating is the composition of the coating. Here are some key characteristics that differentiate zinc-nickel electroplating: Alloy composition: Zinc-nickel electroplating involves the deposition of an alloy…
