The Varland Advantage - Zinc-Nickel:

At Varland Plating, we offer advanced Zinc-Nickel plating solutions that deliver exceptional corrosion resistance and durability. With both a manual and fully automated line equipped with 10 plating stations, we ensure precision and consistency in every project, tailored to meet the specific demands of various industries, including automotive and military.

• Precision Automation: Our chloride based Zinc-Nickel plating process is fully automated, with barrel speed, amperage, voltage, and plating time meticulously controlled to achieve the desired thickness and quality. We maintain comprehensive electronic records for all plating stations to ensure traceability and consistent results.

• Versatile Alloy Options: We offer both low alloy (5-12% Nickel) and high alloy (12-18% Nickel) Zinc-Nickel plating to meet diverse application requirements.

• Advanced Verification: Plating thickness and alloy composition are verified using state-of-the-art x-ray fluorescence, ensuring adherence to exacting standards.

• Superior Coverage & Adhesion: Our Zinc-Nickel plating provides excellent coverage in deep recesses and internal surfaces, with outstanding adhesion and ductility properties.

• Custom Finishes: Choose from clear or black trivalent finishes, with additional topcoats available to enhance corrosion protection and meet specific COF requirements.

• Proven Durability: Our Zinc-Nickel with Clear finish and top coat surpasses 1,000-hour salt spray testing without red rust, meeting the highest industry standards.

• Industry Approved: Our Zinc-Nickel plating is BAE, FCA, and Lincoln Electric approved and is RoHS, ELV, and WEEE compliant, making it suitable for a wide range of applications.

Why Choose Zinc-Nickel?

• Unmatched Corrosion Protection: Zinc-Nickel is increasingly favored in the automotive and military sectors for its superior corrosion resistance, exceeding 1,000 hours in salt spray tests.

• Enhanced Wear Resistance: Offers greater wear resistance compared to other finishes, making it ideal for high-stress applications.

• Thermal Stability: Limits thermal stress on parts subjected to high operating temperatures, ensuring longevity and performance under extreme conditions.

• Versatile & Functional: While our black finish is sometimes chosen for both aesthetics and performance, our clear finishes are selected primarily for their exceptional performance, providing a functional solution that doesn’t compromise on durability.
