Nickel-Chrome (Decorative)

Decorative multilayer finish for high-gloss appearance and surface protection

Combines nickel depth with a bright, durable chrome top layer

What is Decorative Nickel-Chrome?

Decorative Nickel-Chrome is a multi-step electroplating process in which a nickel layer is applied to provide smoothness, brightness, and corrosion resistance, followed by a thin chromium topcoat. The chrome layer enhances surface hardness, scratch resistance, and visual clarity while preserving the decorative appeal of the underlying nickel.

Characteristics and Benefits

Corrosion Resistance: Protective oxide layer prevents oxidation
Wear Resistance: Harder surface improves durability
Electrical Insulation: Non-conductive barrier ideal for electronic housing
Aesthetic Appeal: Can be dyed in a variety of colors for branding or appearance
Surface Hardness: Especially high with Type III, enhancing mechanical performance
