What is BS EN 4826 - Zinc-Nickel (12 %-16 % Ni) plating of steels about ?

BS EN 4826 is a European standard on aerospace series that discusses Zinc-Nickel (12 %-16 % Ni) plating of steels to ensure safe use in parts and fasteners. BS EN 4826 specifies the plating of a Zinc-Nickel (12 % to 16 %) alloy on mechanical parts and fasteners in steels (Rm ≤ 1 450 MPa), stainless steels (Rm ≤ 1 450 MPa), copper alloys, nickel alloys and aluminium alloys (not applicable for electrical components), as well as the passivation and lubricant finishing that can be associated to them. The Zinc-Nickel process is an electrolytic plating process under controlled current allowing to deposit a Zinc-Nickel layer from, most often, an alkaline electrolyte. Alkaline Zinc-Nickel is only considered in BS EN 4826 . The purpose of BS EN 4826 is to give technical and quality requirements of Zinc-Nickel plating. Note: BS EN 4826 doesn’t give complete in-house process instructions; these shall be given in the manufacturers' detailed process instructions.
