Ferro-nickel / nickel-iron electroplating

2004

Hi,

I would like to know about comparing between nickel electroplating and ferro-nickel electroplating,please. Can we replace nickel with ferro-nickel without serious changes in property?

Thanking you,

Your question is a bit vague, Mr. Montazeri, not mentioning whether the coating is decorative or functional, applied by rack or barrel plating, followed up by chrome plating or stand alone, etc., and whether you are talking about a proven proprietary nickel-iron plating system, or just substituting iron for nickel in a home-brew :-)

So I can probably only answer that during times of serious nickel shortages & rationing, the major process suppliers successfully offered this solution for decorative rack plating as part of a nickel-chrome plating sequence. Other than that, sorry, I don't know. Good luck.
