what is nickel strike
Diffference between Nickel Strike plate and Typical Nickel plating. I am trying to explain the difference between a Nickel Strike plating and a typical Nickel plating.Hi there: Nickel strike: Higher content of chloride, is going to be used for direct plating of steel if cyanide copper is not requested.Content usually: Nickel chloride, HCl.Watt's Nickel: Is going to be used for decorative reasons.he purpose is to activate (I hate that word) or remove the oxide from the substrate and lay down a thin film of very active ready-to-plate nickel. The hydrogen ion helps reduce the tenacious oxides of stainless steel or old nickel electroplate from the surface. Secondly, the strike acts as a sewer.
