Different Surface Coatings for Different Purposes

Quick Reference Guide Metal Finishing for Corrosion Resistance Alocrom 1200(self-healing properties) Alkaline Zinc Nickel (excellent, even after thermal shock) Anodising (creates oxidic layer) Bright Acid Tin (withstands high heat and has non-toxic properties) Bright Nickel Plating (good corrosion and decorative finish Chrome (decorative finish) Cold Chemical Blackening (applying oil increases corrosion protection) Electroless Nickel (combines hardness and wear resistance both as plated and as heat-treated) Hard Anodising (extreme hardness and resistance to abrasion as well as corrosion Stainless Steel Passivation (prevents free iron contamination and rusting) Zinc (provides a greater degree of protection for metals such as mild steel) Metal Finishing for Lower Friction Chrome (low friction co-efficiency) Cold Chemical Blackening (provides non reflective surface) Hard Anodising (high degree of lubricity) Manganese Phosphate (acts as a dry lubricant) Dorsetware is one of the leading industrial electroplaters and metal finishers for the South of England.
