Black Nickel Plating

• Black Nickel can be plated onto any metal and produces a thin jet black finish. It is suitable for applications that require a non reflective surface
• The thickness of the coating is less than 3 microns so if corrosive protection is required an undercoat of Zinc or Nickel will be necessary 
• Black nickel plating results in a dense black finish onto any metal - it is ideal for parts where a non-reflective surface is required.
• It is thin (less than 3 microns) and if corrosion protection is required, will need a conventional nickel plated undercoat.

A rapid, non-electrolytic dip process which forms a protective coating on aluminium and its alloys.

It can have either a golden appearance as in Alocrom 1200, or a clear finish as in Alocrom 1000.

Alocrom gives good protection against corrosion and provides an excellent foundation for paint.

Chromating is a chemical process, which does not use an electrical current and results in the surface of the aluminium being converted into a chromate film.
