[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height="10px"][vc_column_text] Zinc-nickel plating is an electroplating technique that deposits a zinc-nickel alloy onto the target metal. The amount of nickel in the alloy can be altered, which imparts different properties to the metal components in question. Based on our long years of experience with the process, we suggest an alloy with a 15% nickel composition to produce the most effective results.
