SRP-55 Nickel Plating Technical Data & Specifications

" There is Nickel Plating and the There is SRP-55 "

Common misconceptions in the plating industry are that Nickel plating done in all plating shops in the USA, and indeed around the world are the same. This could not be further from the truth. Historically, most plating shops have used a plating process whereby the phosphorous content does not exceed 9% and the plating is done under tension. The end result is a rough plated surface, that will show rust spots when exposed to water and sunlight. The plated surface is under extreme tension and when any deformity or nick occurs, peeling is the end result.

SRP-55 is plated with a phosphorous content of 10 - 13%, and the bath is under compression. this means that the nickel deposits on the substrate in a homogeneous and amorphous layer. When exposed to water and sunlight, no rusting of the part occurs. Tests within the oil and gas industry have been run, whereby SRP-55 has exceed all other nickel plating's.

The following picture illustrates what happens when tokens with SRP-55 and Nickel are bent. There is NO deformity with the SRP-55 plated token, while the other tokens shattered. This illustrates that tension that the Nickel is under.
