PW
Ni-Zn Silicon Equivalent (wt%)

The highest zinc coating is reached when the silicon in the steel is
0,04 to 0,12%, this range is called the "Sandelin Curve".

From this graph, it can easily be seen that in the Si killed steel, the
example is 0,26% silicon, the coating thickness increases directly
proportional with time, whereas in the unkilled steel, this increase is
very slow. And even after 2 minutes dipping, the coating thickness is
double in Si killed steel.

Why Nickel?

Sandelin Effect • Reactive Steels;


- Prevents high coating thicknesses.
- Prevents growth of Fe-Zn alloy layer.
- Prevents dark grey coatings.
- Prevents peeling of coating.
- Increases the coating homogenity.
• Zinc saving from 5% to 15% in weight.
• Increases coating ductility.
• Smoother and brighter surface finish.
• Increases the fluidity of the Zn bath.
• Aesthetical coating appearance.

Coating with Nickel

Why Nickel Tablet?

• Less Nickel using up to 30% compared to Zinc-Nickel alloy ingot and


powder Nickel applications.
- Zinc Nikel Alloy Ingot, 1.7 kg Ni addition per ton Zinc.
- Nickel Powder 1.8 kg Ni addition per ton Zinc.
- Nickel Tablet, 0.75 - 1 kg Ni addition per ton Zinc.
• Removes workmanship from the nickel joint.
• The implementation is very simple and fast.
• No special expertise or tools required.
• Nickel floats on the surface of the zinc bath more than other
Normal coating methods, therefore does not settle down to zinc ash and dross.
• Nickel automatically dissolves in zinc bath.
• No dependency on purchasing of HG / SHG Zinc.

Why ANI METAL Nickel Tablet?

Bearded coating • Others: Nickel + Wax


• ANI Metal: Nickel + Wax + X (X is our “know-how”).
- ANI Metal tablets create more heat shield when burn off
therefore they prevent consumption by oxidation.
- Increases the solubility in zinc.
Reactive coating - Prevents the precipitation to dross.
