Improvement in Corrosion‐resistance of Decorative Nickel‐Chromium Plating Available to Purchase

Much progress has been made in the past few years in improving the corrosion‐resistance of decorative nickel‐chromium‐plated articles, especially those subjected to outdoor exposure. There now exists a wide range of alternative finishes, all of which are alleged to improve the corrosion‐resistance to some extent. To evaluate these finishes completely, manufacturers are required to spend much time, money and energy. Manufacturers generally wish to improve their standard of corrosion‐resistance of decorative deposits with no increase in cost, and with some of the more complex systems for corrosion protection this is now possible by an overall reduction in nickel thickness.
