Oxidation of heated nickel plated parts

I had some Ni plated ceramic oxidize after 920 sinter today... Could something in our Ni bath be causing this oxidation? Thanks

Yes. If parts are going to be heated like that, the nickel bath must be free of organic brighteners. Do you use a Watts bath or a Sulphamate bath, Jason?

Sorry! Finishing.com is temporarily Read-Only.
Ted Mooney is retiring but I have several offers to take it over.
We're working hard to make sure we find it the best new home.
