Zinc-nickel is a high performance coating that provides exceptional corrosion protection in harsh environments. It can be formulated to meet a variety of corrosion resistance specifications. There are a stream of zinc-nickel applications for the automotive, electronic, aerospace and defense industries. Automotive applications include, fluid transfer tubes, which can be formed into their required shape after plating.

Zinc-nickel is used to plate fasteners for use in high corrosion areas (under the hood and chassis joints). In electronics, zinc-nickel is used to plate connectors, where zinc nickel has been used as a direct cadmium replacement.
