FAQ

Bright Nickel FAQ

Is bright nickel decorative or engineering nickel?

Bright nickel is primarily a decorative, leveled finish that also provides corrosion protection. For low-stress engineering build-up, sulfamate nickel is the better choice; for uniform hard deposits on complex parts, electroless nickel.

Can bright nickel be used as an underplate?

Yes. Bright nickel is commonly plated as a barrier underplate beneath chrome and precious metals, and to improve corrosion protection and appearance.

What specification and thickness do you plate to?

Bright nickel is plated to QQ-N-290 Class 1, with grade/thickness selected by service condition and your drawing.
