Zinc-Nickel
Zinc-nickel, ZnNi for short, is an electrolytic, inorganic, corrosion-protecting coating system for components in extremely corrosive environments.
It provides significantly better corrosion protection than zinc alone.
The zinc layer is alloyed with 12–15% nickel in the layer.
Zn/Ni meets the nickel emissions requirements according to SS-EN 1811.
Do you know that our passivations are cobalt-free?
We work for a more sustainable future, by choosing a cobalt-free alternative we make a positive difference both for people and environment.
Why Zinc-Nickel?
The thickness of the coating can be adapted to customer requirements, but provides extremely good corrosion-protecting properties even with thin coatings, >5 μm.
This coating does not create galvanic corrosion in aluminium joints.
It has a low potential difference, which relates to the amount of energy required to move an electrical charge from one point to another.
The application temperature range is <+300°C
Abrasion resistance is hardness 450HV.
If you need friction control, this can be attained with a sealer/topcoat.
Which products are suitable for Zinc-Nickel?
Applications placed in an extremely corrosive environment such as:
- Bolted joints
- Fasteners
- Fittings
- Pipes
- Sheet metal structures
Applied by hanging or drum application.
