10. Why choose zinc nickel ?
“The specific properties of zinc-nickel finishes of corrosion and
abrasion resistance, conductivity and adjustable friction make these
coatings successful in many applications”.
• Extensively used in the automotive industry,
zinc-nickel coatings are also used in aerospace
• Exceptional corrosion resistance for relatively thin
coatings
•
Hard coating, good for mechanical resistance
properties
•
Suitable for electronic applications such as
grounding screws
•
Galvanic compatibility with aluminium
•
Lubricated to modify friction properties

11. Heat resistance
“The specific properties of zinc-nickel finishes of corrosion and
abrasion resistance, conductivity and adjustable friction make these
coatings successful in many applications”.
• Typical requirements are:
• 120 C for 24h
• 150 C for 1 or 4h
• 180 C for 96h
• Tests on zinc-nickel coated and passivated bolts demonstrate:
• Finish meets the specified neutral salt spray corrosion requirements of
the automotive industry even after exposure at 300 C for 24h
• In this test, parts treated at 300 C showed red spot corrosion after
about 3000 h
• All other parts showed no red corrosion after 6000 h

12. Mechanical resistance
“The even coating thickness in combination with the abrasion
resistance makes this coating a popular choice for fasteners with
insert drive and thread forming screws where high forces are applied
during assembly”.
• Hardness of between 500 and 600 HVN is reported
•
Withstand mechanical damage
• May happen during transport or in the field (sand abrasion)
• Mechanical damage only minimally affects the corrosion
performance of this coating
• The abrasion resistance of the coating may also favour use in
applications where particle contamination is a factor

14. ZinKlad Audit Requirements
• The audits consist of Completed audit form and sample parts for
testing
• Thickness
• Salt spray
• Hex chrome
• Topcoat
• Torque
• Audit frequency
•
•
ZinKlad 250 – 4 audits a year
ZinKlad 1000 – 2 audits a year
• Includes one major audit each year
•
•
Others are local audits
Audit sample bolts for all audits are tested at the local MacDermid
facility in Germany, Italy, France ,Spain and also a duplicate set sent to
main laboratory in Birmingham
