Haviland’s Havalloy Zn-Ni is a high-speed alloy process that deposits 8 microns in low-current densities within 60-minutes barrel and 25-minutes rack time. This is a process that produces an alloy content across a range of current densities. When used with Prodigy TCP Passivate for zinc-nickel, the process is said to be capable of more than 1,000 hours to white corrosion. According to the company, there is little to no porosity once applied as shown by SEM with EDS Prodigy TCP Seal and/or Prodigy Xtender Seal’s nanotechnology.

    Masking is employed in most any metal finishing operation where only a specifically defined area of the surface of a part must be exposed to a process. Conversely, masking may be employed on a surface where treatment is either not required or must be avoided. This article covers the many aspects of masking for metal finishing, including applications, methods and the various types of masking employed.
