High quality corrosion protection
The corrosion protection of the nickel coat is outstanding thanks to the crack-free, amorphous precipitation.
Depending on the level of corrosion the following coat thicknesses are recommended:
| Load: |
Coat thickness |
| light | 3 – 10 μm |
| moderate | 10 – 25 μm |
| heavy | 25 – 50 μm |
| very heavy | min. 50 μm |
Combining chemical nickel with hard chrome considerably increases the level of abrasion and corrosion protection of the component part again.
Abrasion protection
The hardness of the nickel coat can be altered by treating the components in a warm air oven (see photo). The abrasion protection can be quite considerably increased as a result. Different levels of hardness from 540 – 1000 HV can be produced. A comparison table Vickers Hardness/Brinell Hardness/Rockwell Hardness can be found in our download area.
