TIN-NICKEL PLATING SERVICES

TIN-NICKEL

Our tin nickel plating service provides an attractive faint pinkish finish that is resistant to tarnish. It is typically used with a base coat of copper, brass or nickel and offers excellent corrosion resistance when coupled with these base layers.

It offers a replacement or an alternative to decorative chromium plating for a number of indoor and outdoor hardware, electrical and electronic accessories.

The alloy can retain an oil film on its surface making it useful in applications such as automotive braking systems, heavy-duty switch gears and mixing valves. The alloy has also found application in printed circuit boards because of the excellent throwing power of its solutions.

Tin nickel alloy is an inter-metallic compound of approximately 65% tin and 35% nickel. It is moderately ductile, solderable and free of internal stress. Tin nickel plating has also been found to be an effective replacement for nickel where nickel dermatitis is a concern.

Finish and Processing Options

Barrel Electroplated Tin Nickel Coatings

Tin nickel electroplating aka nickel tin plating can be deposited on a wide variety of metal substrates including steel, nickel, copper and copper-based alloys. Iron and steel parts may undergo pre- and post-coating treatments for reducing the risk of hydrogen embrittlement.
