Process directions
This page covers nickel and chromium coatings deposited with applied current. Our data lists semi-bright, bright, low-stress and black electrolytic nickel directions, as well as decorative chrome and hard chrome.
| Direction | Use | Key points to confirm |
|---|---|---|
| Decorative electrolytic nickel | Selected by bright, semi-bright and leveling needs, as part of single-layer or multilayer plating structures. | Confirm the appearance sample, substrate and subsequent chrome plating requirements. |
| Functional electrolytic nickel | Our data lists low-stress, ductile and specific-structure strike directions. | Verify by fit dimensions, stress and application environment. |
| Decorative chrome & hard chrome | For decorative surfaces and functional wear conditions respectively. | Clarify coating structure, wear conditions and applicable regulations. |
Please specify when submitting requirements
Please describe the part substrate, structure, target appearance, thickness, working surfaces and acceptance conditions. Performance data cannot be shared between different electrolytic nickel and chrome systems.
The above is organized by application from the provided product catalog and data and serves as a selection starting point. Specific formulations, applicable substrates, process windows and inspection requirements should be confirmed with the corresponding technical data and sample verification.
