Contact material for Corrosion Resistance to Salt Water and Chlorine Water

December 18, 2009

My company is developing an electronic product for swimming. The charging contacts will be exposed to ocean salt water as well as salt and chlorine pool water.

What would be the best material / finish to resist corrosion?

Hi, Todd. I would think electroless nickel is appropriate.
