ACTIVATE NICKEL WITHOUT ACID




2005

IS THERE A WAY TO ACTIVATE NICKEL WITHOUT ACID?

MARTY PARTRIDGE
METAL FINISHING - CHATSWORTH, CALIFORNIA



2005

Use 2 oz/gal Nickel Carbonate with 14 oz/gal Potassium Cyanide, make the parts cathodic at about 6 to 8 volts, stainless anode, for about 5 minutes. This will "activate" (remove nickel oxide) in most cases. However, if it is a heavy aged or burned on nickel oxide, you will still have to use electrolytic acid activators, preferable NIckel Chloride Strike.
