Nickel Leveling Analysis

Measuring the exact amount of leveling provided by semi-bright and bright nickel has long been a less than precise science, resulting in lower throughput and increased nickel costs – a plating manager’s main headaches.

Columbia Chemical successfully solved this problem!

As detailed in a feature article in Products Finishing Magazine, using precision-scratched Hull cell panels and a hand-held profilometer, the breakthrough has been made to finally allow reliable measurement of the leveling performance of semi-bright and bright nickel solutions. Utilizing this test method allows us to quickly identify if there is a plating problem or a substrate problem.
