Need for woods nickel strike





2003

I want to activate ss product for plating and I need info for Woods nickel strike.

La Sfida
- Athens, Argiroupoli, Greece



2003

A woods nickel strike consists of:

240 g/L nickel chloride.6 H2O
360 ml/L Hydrochloric acid

40-100 amps/sq foot cathodic. (Some references recommend reverse current then direct, however, reverse current leads to iron and /or chromium contamination and and early failure or adhesion or cause to discard the solution and make up new more frequently) I have found that good cleaning and acid treatment prior to the Woods strike works well.
