I don't know the cause; I cross check for conditions and everything in Process is OK. The part is cyanide zinc plated and passivated with trivalent yellow chromate, no top coat.

Please suggest me and I will be awaiting your information attentively.

Best Regards,

Hi,

Check for the rinses after plating & post passivations and drying method, secondly are you preserving the passivated components near your plating plant uncovered where there is a lot of acid fumes?
