What is Zinc-Nickel Plating?


Zinc-Nickel plating is an advanced electroplating process where a zinc-nickel alloy (typically containing 12–15% nickel) is deposited onto metal surfaces, most commonly steel. This method surpasses traditional zinc plating by providing a robust, high-performance coating designed to significantly enhance corrosion protection and wear resistance. It is widely used in industries requiring exceptional durability, such as automotive, aerospace, and heavy machinery.

Benefits & Applications


Zinc-Nickel plating is the preferred choice for components exposed to harsh environments due to its superior properties:

  • Superior Corrosion Resistance: Provides protection up to 5 times longer than standard zinc plating, withstanding 1,000+ hours in salt spray tests without red rust.
  • High Heat Resistance: Retains protective properties under elevated temperatures, making it ideal for engine and under-hood components.
  • Enhanced Hardness: Improves surface hardness, reducing wear and extending component lifespan.
  • Environmental Compliance: A safe, eco-friendly alternative to cadmium plating, fully compliant with RoHS and REACH standards.


Key Applications:

  • Automotive: Brake systems, fuel lines, and fasteners.
  • Aerospace: High-durability parts replacing cadmium.
  • Electronics: Connectors and shielding components.
