The Move Toward Effective Colorless Zinc-Nickel Passivates
Zinc-nickel passivation continues to be a robust method of extending the corrosion protection of electroplated substrates, as well as providing a visually appealing finish. In the past, clear passivation for zinc-nickel did not offer high levels of corrosion protection. This paper discusses both the mechanism by which passivate films are colored as well as the development of a clear, colorless zinc-nickel passivate that achieves good corrosion protection.
