Max up to 5 microns. But even though it is only for Decorative Finish, it's better to give only up to 0.5 Microns.
And we cannot plate Directly to SS Parts. It has to have NICKEL Strike; if not, plating Quality Issues will be there.
And also its corrosion resistance is more then Hexavalent.

Good luck
