Alternatives for ni-cr plating of brass
++++
We are looking for alternatives to Nickel/Chrome over brass that
is aesthetic as well as durable. We are open to all suggestions. One
of the components is a brass ferrule that will be crimped and the
finish must adhere after this process. This component is .850 ID with
a wall thickness of .025 and the length is .625 with a hole pierce of
.550. We would like the finish to be a yellow color. The other
component is approximately 2.250 L x 13/16 W. This has internal
threads at 1 end and a 1 piece stem on the other to be crimped on
hose. Again this must withstand crimping. We are currently using a
commercial Zinc plate for this. The finish needs to resemble the
clear Zinc yet provide better resistance to the elements. As is
always the case we are looking to beef up both without the added
cost. Total yearly volume could exceed 500,000 pcs.

Electroless Nickel.

How about electro-catalytic nickel. It has almost no stress, good
corrosion resistance, great appearance, and less cost than
electroless. Happy to do some samples for you.
