MacDermid say that engineers choose zinc-nickel in automotive and aerospace applications due to its excellent corrosion and abrasion resistance. Meaning the coating retains its corrosion protection even after handling and assembly operations.
Zinc-nickel coatings demonstrate the following features:
• Exceptional corrosion resistance for relatively thin coatings.
• Hard coating, good for mechanical resistance properties.
• Good grounding properties for electronic applications.
• Galvanic compatibility with aluminium.
• Lubricated to modify friction properties.
